There are a number of characteristics of Orunmila that can be grouped in the following way with Kiswahili identifiers as follows. The Kiswahili word for characteristics is Sifa:

Kinywa - Superlative Oracle

Mwango wa Kujua - Illuminator of Living Knowingness

Uungu ulio Hai - Divinity Enlivener
Afrikan souls, the primary souls of Creation, are naturally divine. Orunmila gives strength, protection, nurturing and enlivenment to that divinity.

Viwango vya Usafi - Purity standard bearer

Nabii wa Kimungu - Divine Prophesier
Orunmila is the super diviner. Orunmila can prophesise that which is to come that is meaningful to the eternal ascension of Afrikan life.

Every Afrikan soul is naturally and divinely ascribed to be his or her fullest self from which full liberty and nationhood are expressed.  In this, the marvellous spirit ones of creation are not part Afrikan. Rather, this magnificent people have been brought into being to maximally flourish as their full and divine Afrikan selves. They were not birthed to be ill-existing as partly themselves or partly free. They are divinely ascribed to be expressive of full liberty. There is a sometimes popular saying that a half truth is a lie. This is cited here to illustrate that the unnatural assertion of being partly Afrikan is a position of unfreedom.  Yet, hostile enemy impositions have compelled far too many Afrikan souls throughout the world to engage in a ‘split personality’ survival mode of existence. As many have articulated throughout the Afrikan history continuum: Either the Afrikan is free or is not free. Either the Afrikan is free or the Afrikan is enslaved.

The enemy desperately attempts to deflect attention from his despicable deeds by bogusly claiming that somehow Afrikan souls are a people innately unhappy with life and everything in the world. Of course, in reality the world for the alien enemy is his futile attempt at constructing a perpetually oppressive, exploitive and genocidal reality that the Afrikan must be grateful to have imposed.  In realty, Afrikan souls of the world are innately of Haki (Righteousness) and their souls can never be at ease with the affliction of an enemy onslaught in whatever guise.

The wonderful Afrikan history continuum is filled with the wisdom and wisdom tools necessary to restore the Afrikan world community to its rightful place of centrality in the sacred universe. Orunmila is the supreme wisdom guide that shines the light of empowerment through knowingness upon every Afrikan soul. In honouring and restoring Orunmila in the lives of Afrikan souls, the wisdom for the continual journeying of Afrikan history into the eternity to come is fully manifest. The colours of Orunmila are Kijani (Green) and Njano (Yellow). These reflect the profound colours of eternal growth, development and powerfully prosperous energy.  Orunmila lives. Sacred Afrikan history lives. Afrikan history is living history.
