Actually, they portray ifa more as the solution to most problems.

I have watched over 20,000 yoruba movies my whole life, I'm sure of what I'm saying.


At other times, they portray Imams and white garment priests as the solution, but not as much as they portray traditional herbalist.

The reason boils down to culture, that was the inherent religion of that tribe(traditional religion), so they just have to portray it in their movies.

Fore fathers werent, they were traditionalist until missionaries came, so the yoruba brand when it comes to religion is the tr aditional one.

Majority of Yorubas are Traditionalist Pagans except on Sunday / Friday.

10-20% are full-timers. and this number is gradually increasing as we speak.

...Buh mst pastors are Yoruba's...especially in d RCCG nd LIVING FAITH(WINNERS CHAPEL)

you dont understand these Yorubas. let me give you an example:

‎'Segun Osoba, a renowned Professor of History, once ended a narrative on a similar subject with an anecdote about one of the few Yoruba Ijebu converts to Christianity. This particular man became a 'Pastor' as is commonplace today; once, a member of his congregation vexed him (names and details withheld) to a degree that he had to take off his pastoral regalia (not sure what they used to call that), thus revealing the hitherto concealed attire of a Juju Priest (Pagan Priest).

That anecdote represented the suspicion with which the Ijebus held Christianity while yet practicing it.

the point is that pastors are not the ones making movies.

If you want to watch a christian like movie, get mount ion films, that's why you have mount zion films.

All religions are dogmatic, everyone believes in what has worked for them, just as I believe in Jesus, some others believe in something else.

not sure of your point, but yes, quite a lot of yorubas mix traditional religion with christianity.

however, its not yorubas alone who do this- most nigerians do the same.
