It is important to acknowledge here that the ancient Yoruba did not believe in life after death. The Christian clergy convinced the New Yoruba that there was life after death. The ancient Yoruba almost certainly did not believe in the existence of hell (Orun-apadi), that place where bad people allegedly went after they died. The Christian clergy convinced the New Yoruba that hell existed as punishment for bad living. The fact is the word Orun-apadi did not exist in the Yoruba language until the Christian clergy in the 1800s made it up. They created Orun-apadi from the Yoruba word Apadi. Baudin (1855) described Apadi as the potsherd furnace that the ancient Yoruba used to bake pottery, a place that was inevitably engulfed in coal and debris of broken pottery, and in heat and sweat. The lesson from the Apadi deception is that anything with the word Orun attached to it should immediately raise the suspicion that it was not guaranteed to be of heaven.
