we should be talking about our religion more than about the pope They don't talk about the head of babalawos in Nigeria

Nigerians are far gone in foreign religions. There is nothing we can do.

It is common for Cuban and other africans in the diaspora who have little direct knowledge of africa to make that mistake because their introduction to african traditions is through yoruba. But my brother, sangoleye, Yoruba is just one of very many tribes and peoples in africa and many other people feel offended when they are not acknowledged. There are over 200 peoples in Nigeria and yoruba is just one of them. This is a Nigerian website, not a yoruba website.
I understand that you are not aware of the delicate and incendiary nature of tribal politics, but saying that this is a yoruba website is highly insensitive.

There are some threads on traditions religions. Type Ifa into the search engine and some of them will come up. However you are right that this site is mostly full of christian and muslim issues.

Pastor AIO and friends I;m glad you understand our (Cubans) way of thinking, although you just proof me wrong I'm aware of the other people living in Nigeria But i never thought that would create a situation were I would be hurting someone's feelings
Believe me that was the least of my intentions and if anyone is offended i deeply apologize I'm sure by your explanation you will believe me. I'm just so proud of my religion that I feel that because it originated in Africa everyone there shares it Although I know that is not so

Hope you all accept my apologies and friendship

^^^^ In this part of the Yoruba world, there are not many SANGOleyes left. They are now mostly OLUWAleye or ADEleye or BABAleye, having embraced Christ and left Sango behind.

Welcome on board, Sangoleye. smiley

I was going to add that you will find people here on the forum who practice and promote the old yoruba religion. Many still practice it on ground.

[quote author=sangoleye][/quote] I understand your point and I respect your opinion But mine is that it's a shame, that being so close to the root, the limbs are going so far away from it
