IFATHEOLOGY FIRST COMEDY PLAY ON IFA BY BABA IJESHA

MR OLAREWAJU OMIYINKA AKA BABA IJESHA WAS THE FIRST YORUBA COMEDIAN TO SHOOT A FILM ON IFA. IT WAS TITLED “IFATHEOLOGY”

In the highly successful film written and produced by Ambassador Olarenwaju Omiyinka Baba Ijesha comically explodes in this highly funny film using his equally funny mastery of Ifa to make viewers laugh their hearts out, while giving his own interpretation to IFA CORPUS and rendering comical statement that leaves his viewers to incur laughter.

With Pa Peter Fatomolola has his tutor (Ifa priest) was teaching him (Baba Ijesha ) the rudiments of Ifa, He ask him to render a recitation of the Ifa he was been thought which he replies the Ifa priest by calling it “IFA SAMSON” and it went thus “Ifa Ori mi re O, Aye mi re o” (meaning- Ifa this is my head, Ifa this is my chest), he continues “Ifa listen  to me, tinko lo saw o lafun (it is the dry meat that is friendly with yam flour or a palatable result)”, “It is a bigger akara that goes in association with garri, Oku le leja nta (meaning- It is in death that the fish seller sells hs/her fish, without magi the

soup will not be sweet)”, If we sweep the inside of a house and the outside it is the refuse dump that we send it to, An Agbada must not have a polo which gave birth to amala (yam flour) when he was coming to mother earth it was gbegiri soup shirt he wore, Ifa this is my head (Paying obidence), what did amala tie on his leg? It was stock fish that amala tie on his leg. Ifa listen to me (Paala) stock fish is what Ifa tie on his leg. He ends this recitation of Ifa by saying I am a Christian.

This film without doubt was a pacesetter in the annals of Yoruba comedy having truly exploited the Yoruba belief (cosmology) inventing it with comic clothing laced with unquenchable laughter. It was the pacesetting role of the film “Ifatheology” that give rise to many films in Yoruba film circle that has similar title, sub-title or characterization in outlook but not with the deep language of comedy exhibited by Baba Ijesha.

E.P: Why do you choose music?

Ans: Yes, I choose to play music because of the passion I have for it, I have been into music since my childhood in the church because I lived with my uncle who is a prophet in Akure Ondo state, then I was five years old we worship almost everyday singing and playing drums with two other children of my uncle and one of them is called Bola who later grow up to form a musical band in Ondo state and his band is called SEA NEVER DRY BAND and presently he is in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

E.P: What genre of music do you play?

Ans: I have been a choir master both on campus chapel and various Pentecostal churches in Lagos with Awards however, when I was growing up in the secondary school days because I attended Atunrase Boy’s High School in Surulere Lagos in the 90’s, then I love listening to Afrobeat music of the great legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti the Abami Eda I also love listening   to Orlando Owoh high life, king Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey and reggae music, Pop music especially Michael Jackson my most favourite of all the time. You know my Christian back ground already I grew up in Cherubim and Seraphim church but now a Redeemite (RCCG) ministry i.e chorister.

During my Secondary School days, I visit the African shrine to listen to Fela live in Ikeja and I became conversant with his genre of music and always sing in the classroom to my colleagues when we have no class activities or no teacher is around especially when we have finished our exams the class use to be boring even when I was caught in the act by teachers they will start laughing instead of scolding me, you will agree with me that Fela’s songs are so interesting despite the bitter truth e.g “Teacher Don’t teach me nonsense” e.t.c

I have an album titled “TANDA GIDIGA” it means I stand firm, strong and unshakeable in God.

E.P: What message do you want to send to music lovers with your music?

Ans: As a child of God I use my talent for God in order to edify the church and glorify God and terrify the devil. Nobody has been able to do Afrobeat music in the real flavor of it and I came to fill the vacuum with maximum respect to Femi and Seun Kuti Afrobeat kings royal family, I am the emperor of Gospel Afrobeats worldwide.
