Yoruba = Yeerubaal (People of the Baals) = Jehovah (Depends on the linguistic bent here)
Yo = Ya = Ye = Je
Ru = Rhu = Ho
Ba = Bah = Vah
Orunmilah/Oraminyan/Oranyan/Orion = Aramiel/Aramijah (Of the order of Haram/Ham = Forbidden)
Oru/Ora = Arhu = Ara
Nmi = Mi
Lah/Yan = El/Jah
Lamurudu = Nimrod
La = Na (As Ni is also pronounced Li old Yoruba) = Ni
Mu = Mm
Rudu = Rodu = Rod
Oduduwa = Odua = Aadua = Adura = Aduyah = Aadujah/Adubaale
Oba Ile= Abaale = Baale = Baal
Point being that the Yoruba had at one time been in close proximity or were highly influenced by Middle Eastern and Egyptian mythos (Maybe vise versa, the colonialists messed up a treasure trove of oral history.
The tale of the Orishas for example mimics the tale of the fall of the Sons of God as described in Genesis.
Oduduwa whom the Yorubas hold as their progenitor is described as a white/red skinned Giant of immense stature, who was let down from the skies by an iron rope in the City of Ile-Ife, where he was met by Agboniregun (an initiate/Egyptian priest of sorts); they were said to have communicated via hieroglyphical means.
Odua claimed to be a descendant of the Biblical Lamurudu/Nimrod (I suspect a mistranslation here, I think he was referring to himself as a descendant of a Nephilim worshipped by Nimrod because he claimed to have fled Mid Eastern religious persecution probably during Joshua's conquest of the Levant; my suspicion is buttressed by the fact that Odua immediately set himself up as a king over the aborigines of Ile-Ife.
Orion's staff/Obelisk/Cenotaph with the Hebraic inscriptions Raysh and Yud also interpreted as the horn and axe or the trident signifies the presence of an intelligence well vast in Atlantis, Egyptian and Hebraic lore. etc.
Quite interesting if you think about it.

Agama, the chameleon represents wisdom in our african spirituality. That-s why orunmila has to go to the chameleon. African spiritualility is the ultimate science of nature and we believe that Nature is God. If you ever seen a chameleon, you will notice that the chameleon doesn-t step on a branch right away. He put his foot forward toward the branch as if he is going to put his foot there and then right before his foot can touch the branch, he will bring the foot back and observe the branch a second time before calmly stepping on it. Chameleon does not rush either. He walks slowly as a character of wisdom. A chameleon can step on the smallest branch without the branch breaking apart. That is another attribute of wisdom and being careful before taking action and before making decision. Chameleon doesn-t have a specific color. He changes color according to the environment. That is another attribute of wisdom. And finally, when a chameleon hunt, he doesn-t jump on the prey like a lion. Instead the chameleon stay back and send his tongue in a rapid and precise move to catch the fly. From the moment it catches the fly to the moment the fly is in his mouth is usually a split second. What the chameleon is teaching us through that action is this: i can be calm, quiet and wise but if i have to hunt, i can go it swiftly. So a God going to Agama for answer means you must take time and patience to make the right decision. Just to help people understand.

there's a problem relating voduns and orisas. The first ones are spirits but the second ones are humans made divine, and they come from very different cultures. The pantheon described was created as a way to unify deities from peoples who spoke the same language, each deity used to be cultuated in different regions (related to orisas, they were probably ancestors.
