I know u are so small that u will have to bring a polite discussion down to insults! Instead of simply asking for a chant u had to insult me because of d smallness of ur mind.

The chants u seek can be found here on nairaland d guy with d username babalawo recently opened a thread on olokun with bini chants. U can check it out. If u were looking for written works u could have simply typed olokun into any search engine.
And if u are going to continue with ur usual insult kindly dont mention me.

why somebody will claim olokun isn't yoruba beats me...there's nothing polite about that when you make a claim your Oba cannot in his dream make. I can remember a guy like that from nairaland can't remember the moniker but he was fraud. ..
what makes you think I have searched for written works?

you can't make a claim and run away. .stand and defend it. unless you know it's wrong from the start

Ubenedictus:
Obagodo is dated BC i.e before christ, the historical obatala was about d time of oduduwa which puts him at 1000AD, Between them there is about 1000yrs.

lol, source?

Have u ever wondered y u guys have 2 gods in d sea? yemoja and olokun? something should have told u that u guys adopted one of them. besides olokun in beni is a man, and features prominently in d creation myth, olokun for u guys is someones wife. think my dear.

Yemoja is actually a river goddess associated with the Ogun river and mother of other river goddesses. I don't know her oriki and even some time in the past I thought her a sea goddess but I've been told by babalawos that she is not the sea goddess but all waters used for domestic use and fishing which the Ogun river was used for extensively by the Oyo Empire

whatever Olokun is in Benin doesn't mean anything, you guys learned about Olokun from Ilaje
Ilaje people made a lot of the Oba's mysticism, which includes Aiyelala

i think i do.the only civilization that dates to the bc era in nigeria should be nok.

lol, i think it is d other way round, i also think aiyelala is yoruba or ijaw or another riverine tribe just adopted in benin for it oath potency. olukun on the otherhand i disagree on the olokun issue, olokun is among d original benin patheon, feature prominently in d creation myth and tied to every cultural fibre. besides i'm suprised u dont seem to notice d fact that d yoruba patheon actually adopted various dieties.

same way Osun (osanyin) appears prominently in bini culture. bini aren't known to be philosophical. the fact that Olokun is not a bini word sells you out

I'm done here tho. . it's completely a waste of time to argue olokun with anybody


prove yoruba adopted deities

I have already explained that olokun is a benin word, benin is as philosophical as any other tribe though i do know what that has to do with d topic.

it seems u cant notice that as yoruba migrated they kept adding to their patheon, u've gat olokun a water deity, then yemoja, the osun for d osun river, osa,... and other water orisha, u guys kept making each water body u find a new orisha, d bini have just one river\sea ebo, it seem clear to me that u guys borrowed olokun and added it to ur ever increasing patheon.

smh. see why I often say you lack intelligence that you claim you will say I'm insulting.
how can yoruba adopt deities from non yoruba people when all the water deities are within Yorubaland and have different nature. migrating from where ? where are the people we adopted them from?
creeks, streams, lagoons, lakes, ocean are all different body of water..
a mark of a complete patheon by a highly thoughtful people
