Osa Meji: Pay homage, give respect to women

Osa Meji: Pay homage, give respect to women

Below is only part of Osa Meji - one of many teachings of Ifa. African religion/spiritual systems/thought demands respect for women. We do not see such necessity of respect for Our women in foreign belief systems. Let's discuss the meaning below!

Osa Meji
...It was then that he gave women the power and authority so that anything men wished to do,

They could not dare to do it successfully without women.

Odu said that everything that people would want to do,

If they do not include women,

It will not be possible.

Obarisa said that people should always respect women greatly.

For if they always respect women greatly, the world will be in right order.

Pay homage; give respect to women.

Indeed, it is woman who brought us into being

Before we became recognized as human beings.

The wisdom of the world belongs to women.

Give respect to them then.

Indeed, it was a woman who brought us into being.

Before we became recognized as human beings.
