The Title Orita-Meta is inspired by my fetish for Yoruba Mysticism and this time, finding it's link to the immersive realm called The Metaverse. This piece seeks to investigate that conviction, proving that as "ORITA-META" often means a fork road of confusion about a destination/destiny, the Metaverse also harbors such forked complexities albeit it's numerous benefits. Enjoy

2. ORI:
One’s spiritual intuition
and destiny.
“There is a divine being
situated on top of your
neck. You brought it
along with you from the
other side. Your ori is
your constant, life-long
companion”
ITA:
Outside
Where can be more
outside than “outer
space”?

3. Ori’sun Ori’gin
We are from the SKY FATHER…Eledumare,
the one who dwells in “Orun” in the Heavens
The explosion of the first neutron star, is theorized to have
been the source of all celestial bodies across the cosmos
including earth, as Man has same CHNOPS elements as Stars

11. The Metaverse is essentially
telepresence within a virtual
environment .

12. Aside virtual headsets, The
metaverse can be experienced on
desktops, game consoles and
smartphones.
People can feel like they’re
somewhere else by logging
themselves into the metaverse.

17. Zuckerberg said people would see Facebook transitioning from being a social media company to “a metaverse company”. “In many ways, the metaverse is the ultimate expression of social
technology,” he told analysts and investors.

OF THE METAVERSE
“According to Fortune, 87% of Gen Z play video
games on their phone or other consoles. In fact,
so many members of Gen Z enjoy gaming that it
is beginning to become this generation’s main
source of entertainment, beating out traditional
forms of media like TV shows and movies.”

46. Web3
Web3 is a decentralized and open web
based on blockchain technology.
This is a decentralized version of the
internet typified by the removal of data
ownership and dominance of centralized
power of web 2.0 giants like Amazon and
facebook and giving control back to users.
This Is enabled by Cryptocurrency wallets
like MetaMask, Venly or Trust Wallet
where users store keys to all of their data
and identities.

47. Web3 is about decentralized ownership and control , putting
the web in the hands of its users and the community.
It is secure via blockchain, driven by DeFi and and sustains
both NFTs and the Metaverse
Web 3.0 is the 3rd generation of the internet, smarter,
more intelligent, self-sufficient and open internet that
employ A.I, Machine learning function as a global brain and
interprets content contextually and conceptually
VS

48. A Blockchain is a
decentralized system of
recording information in a
way that makes it difficult
or impossible to change,
hack or cheat the system.
It is a digital ledger of
transactions that is
duplicated and distributed
across the entire network of
computer systems on the
blockchain.
BLOCKCHAIN
LANGUAGE OF THE METAVERSE

49. NFTs are digital assets that exists on a public blockchain that serves as a record of ownership. While anyone
can view the items, only the buyer of an NFT has the “official” status of being its owner.

51. “We think NFTs will play an important
role in the future of retail, social media,
entertainment and commerce.
To help our clients and partners
participate, we need a firsthand
understanding of the infrastructure
requirements for a global brand to
purchase, store and leverage an NFT
Coy Shieffield
Head of Crypto, Visa

52. THE IMMUTABILITY
OF TRUST
● Immutabile trust underpins the Blockchain
● Immutability through cryptography implies that every
entry of data is permanent, indelible, unalterable & secure
● Money can now flow in a trusted system without middle
men or friction, able to be programmed like software to
execute contracts and secure digital property rights.
● The implications for agencies to guide brands and
communicate the new DeFi age, as brand relationship is
based on trust, authenticity, value exchange and ultimately
love of brand.

metaverse”
