Ignorance, Stupidity, Carelessness, and Stubborness

Orunmila discovered that many people were dying at their tender age. He discovered that many died of poisoning, sickness, drowning, suicide, evil designs of adversary, accident and so on. He then decided to go and find out what the causes of these unnatural deaths were. For this reason, he went for Ifa consultation. He wanted to know if it were possible for him to know the root cause of the unnatural death killing human beings. He was told that he would see the cause and that human beings were the ones causing all the deaths that killed them. Orunmila was told that there was no death in heaven and that death was here on earth. He was asked to offer sacrifice of three matured he-goats so that he could use the he-goats to propitiate Ifa. He complied. He then began to observe human activities.

During his observations, he discovered that all human deaths were caused by four major factors: ignorance, stupidity, carelessness and stubbornness. He discovered that if human beings could avoid all these factors of untimely death, they would live very long on earth.
