This babalawo was born to Deeper Life parents

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work at Zikoko, my colleague, Dammy, casually announced that she partied till 3 a.m. this morning. Imagine confessing your atrocities to your boss. Leemao. I guess it’s alright because the boss in question interviewed an actual babalawo for this week’s #NairaLife. Send help.

It worked.] Wait, Edwin. Did you actually write #NairaLife out of the goodness of your heart because David's on leave, or because we launched #MoneyByZikoko today? All of the above. I figured since I was writing the [first episode of the #MoneyByZikoko newsletter](=.frqEne0bsm0HAr6-CS4kRhSgQZtVKY8pNa2U3ul-WbY), it’d be nice to also write Naira Life and make it a whole event. It was stressful as hell, I’ll tell you that, but I’m glad I did it. How did you find a babalawo? Should we be afraid? Please, tell me this was a physical interview. He reached out, wanting to tell his story. He’d dealt with his family throwing him away because he found what he loves — Ifa’s temple — and wanted to study to become a priest. It felt important to him, and it’s important for Zikoko to be a place where these stories are told. And no, I actually wanted a physical interview, but was too busy to go outside. Everything happened on Google Meet. We did like three different calls; it was a very long interview. What did you find most interesting about this story? The way he spoke about the Ifa temple, I’ve only ever heard people talk about church that way. The temple was where he found peace when literally every other thing in his life was going wrong. His story shows we all experience our spiritual journeys in many different ways, and it doesn’t make sense to gatekeep what the journey of others should be.
