. It' not about "reasoning low" but knowing christ. As a christian I don't have any issues wt what the idol woshipper (the said culture) does, provided it' does affetct movement. It' only in Africa we don't think about other. May God help us.

samflexxy: why would ebola not afect african countries when stupid cultural practices like this still go on in the so called computer age

It only became silly cultural practise because Oyinbo brought their language and religion to us , gave kings mirrors in exchange for hundreds of our forefathers


Doesn't it bother you that religion and slave trade came just about the same time ?just saying

,China has 2nd largest worlds economy , they live in computer age too but they held on to their culture , traditional culture can not cause or end Ebola

haibe: your reasoning is extremely low. What kind of culture is it that restricts movements of innocent individuals or pose a threat to kill or use them as sacrifice? in this 21st century? Shouldn't we be wiser than all this now? It's people like you that will never make positive changes when in authority even though it's clear some pratices should be scrapped

be quite abeg.. What kind of 21st century are you talking about? Their KING died and u expect them not to perform traditional rights before installing another King. This could happen anythere in the world. Don't Asian countries do the same. Is lagos more civilised than shanghai, tokyo et al? You have to respect their culture and so be it.

Ignorant is a bad thing, it's a shame that many like you all over Nigeria and particularly in Yorubaland have been brainwashed since childhood to demonize, denigrate by comparing and viewing everything pertaining to our respective ancestral beliefs systems with alienic idea such as backward and stupid, let me ask you this, are Americans and Europeans stupid and backward as well to observe annually the celebration of Halloween 'trick or treat' activities aka Day of the Dead, and other pagan festivities repackaged to fit modern times such as the Christmas?

CharlieMaria: Because of idol? undecided
While people are dying of Ebola. Mtcheeeew
If you are so sure it's an idol as you've been brainwashed to believe while certain non-African foreigners pay huge money to buy it away to their countries to tap its energy and rechannel for their advancement, why don't you go there and tell the organizers/priests that they are into nothing but a mere scarecrow dolls, and you could go there with a bunch of Nigerian army should in case.

alaladakosta: More reason I prefer to die in Yankee.
...where you and the likes of you will be nothing but 6th class migrants who dare not utter a word seeing 4th class citizens (asians) like the Chinese/Japanese publicly celebrate and display their dragon and other pagan related festivals nor protests against 3rd class citizens (Latinas) memorialize several of what you consider paganistic but still dare not whine while you will be look down upon as an Abrahamic loving untermensch with no cultural identity who's always proud to bear the name of his colonial slave masters. I have a religionist friend like you who's glad to have had his first, middle and last name as English e.g. Kelvin Harrord Doglass.

drestoneokuta: What about people that are covered with the blood of Jesus? undecided
The Eluku masquerade will ofcourse bow down, so please show up there today with your pack of shrine-destroying prayer-warrior team.

yarnings: In this 21st century,why disrupting peoples free movement all in the name of ORO? I hope the named area is a remote village or getto...
During Christian and Muslim festivals in supposedly secular Nigeria, civil life is disrupted by using officialdom to prevent the citizenry who don't believe in either Christianity or Islam to carry out their normal lives by the enforcement of religious holidays, what a contradiction! whereas in nearby Benin Republic where cultural and indigenous beliefs are upheld more than slavish Abrahamic religions that Nigerians find hard to unshackle their thought process from.

Oro, Eluku etc are unique part of what I call Yoruba Advanced Science erroneously known as juju that have been tried and tested and can be confirmed by independent for example between the witching hour is between the 12 and 3am by according to Euro-american criminal reports where most violent crimes are committed within those hours, what Oro and Eluku does is to conduct the clea
