Nigerian lawyer and politician, Reno Omokri has schooled his fans on the relationship between the ancient Yoruba and Bini people with the biblical character, Moses.
According to Reno, the ancient Israelites and the yoruba and bini people share similar culture as evidenced from the Bible. He explained that the similarities are so glaring that nobody can deny the fact.
Taking to his Instagram page, he captioned his post as: The Connection Between Moses and the Bini and Yoruba Peoples (Conclusion)
You may recall that when the ancient Israelites were dying of snake bites in the wilderness, the Scriptural Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole and anyone who looked at it was saved (see Numbers 21:9).
A similar structure, a snake coiled on a pole, was carved onto the pyramid in front of the Oba of Benin’s palace, before the pyramid was destroyed. Go on Google, and type in Oba of Benin pyramid, and you will see a photograph of the pyramid taken by a missionary.
That picture is now in a museum.
Moses taught Aaron, his brother, the art of divination, also known as casting of lots. We see this in Exodus 28:30, which reads:
“Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.”
For those who do not know what Urim and Thummim are, these are divination beads.
David also practiced divination (casting the lot).
We see this in 1 chronicles 24:31
“They also cast lots, just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same.”
The land of Canaan was divided amongst the tribes of Israel by divination.
Numbers 26:55 reads:
“But the land shall be divided by lot.”
Even in the New Testament, the disciples of our Lord and Saviour used divination to choose a successor to Judas Iscariot.
In Acts 1:26 we read:
“Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.”
This practice of casting lots, is a common practice amongst the Jebu or Ijebu people of Nigeria, and the Bini people specifically, and amongst the descendants of Oduduwa.
Just as the Jewish priests use beaded jewels known as Urim and Thumim, so do the Jebu or Ijebu, the Bini and the Omo Oduduwa use beads for their divination.
I do not want to draw conclusions for you. But research these things you read here
