IFA TEACHES AGAINST LAZINESS

IFA TEACHES AGAINST LAZINESS, If a lazy person is hungry Please let him die, Please let him die

Dead or alive, A lazy person is a useless person

(HOLY Odu EJIOGBE)

Ifa teaches and discourage any act of laziness, as the says goes that the only place where the success come before work is in the dictionary. This is the same principle enunciated by holy Odu Ejiogbe. Ifa deem it improper to render any help to a deliberate lazy person .Holy odu Ejiogbe make it clear that ‘A lazy person is a useless person, Whoever refuses to work, Such a person does not deserve to eats, If a lazy person is hungry , Please let him die’ . This may lead us to question of what ifa term as laziness.Laziness  is the quality of being unwilling to work or use energy; idleness. From the definition above those who are capable but refuse to work are been refer to as been lazy. Ifa teaches that we should not condone on encourage laziness in any way. On this see what odu ifa ejiogbe have  to say :

Sise

Mi o nii s’ise

Dia fun Ole

Arise ma se

A sun l’ale ba oorun la

A gb’oju le ogun fi ara a re fosi ta

Bi a ko ba s’ise

Ka kan oogun sasaasa l’onii

A kii di oloro  bo ba d’ola

Fi ese te ere

Mi o fi ese t’ere

Enu eni ko lee s’epo

TRANSLATION

Do your work

I am not working

This was the Ifa cast for the lazy person

Who sees work but chooses to remain idle

He who sleeps until the sun is overhead

He who relies on that which is possessed through inheritance exposes himself to suffering

If we do not toil

And sweat profusely today

We cannot become wealthy tomorrow

March through the mud

I will not march through the mud

If we do not march through the mud

Our mouths cannot eat good food

These were the declaration of Ifa for the lazy person

He who possesses strong limbs but refuses to work

He who chooses to be idle in the morning

He is only resting for suffering in the evening

Only toiling can support one

Idleness cannot bring divided

Whoever refuses to work

Such a person does not deserve to eatss

If a lazy person is hungry

Please let him die

Dead or alive

A lazy person is a useless person
