Why Are Yoruba People Too Liberal In Religion? by Afam4eva(m): 3:06pm On Aug 15, 2012 |
Maybe "Liberal" is not the right word but it's close enough. I've been wanting to discuss this topic but haven't because i thought it would cause an uproar by some nairalanders but i just decided to do it anyways after being inspired by this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1018891/nigeria-consul-general-new-york-im. I have noticed that Yorubas are literal to a fault when it comes to religion and why i believe every religion should be accorded some level of respect, i don't think people engaging or having a feel of other people's religion shows your seriousness as a Christian or Muslim. Let me just give an illustration that i encounted personally. I was working on contract for a company and majority of people in that company are Yorubas(it's owned by a Yoruba man). Every morning we pray before work resumes. We usually pray the Christian way except on Fridays when we allow our Muslim brother to do it the muslim way. Now one thing i noticed is that, while the Christian prayer, worship and praise is going on, the muslims just stand still without doing anything. I have no problem with that. But now, when it's time for the muslims to say their own prayer, some The excuse some people will give is that we worship the same God. While i don't know if this is true or false, doesn't Christianity revolve around Jesu Cristi? And Muslims don't believe that Jesus is the son of God. They just see him as a prophet just like Mohammed. |
