Nice piece of art, but when did yoruba deities become Africans'
He should wipe out African is his descriptive texts and replace it wif yoruba

This is an insulting representation of the Yoruba culture...people with tatoos and nudity everywhere...and most of them are dressed like Arabs.

Wow! One of the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen. I love the beauty and strength portrayed by the artist. These are black super hero's and I wish the black children in the West were exposed to this image. It makes me even more proud to be African.


I knoww!
Total amazing-ness

Is Oya the reason for "oya, go and bring my slippers now"
...kinda, hurry up like the wind and go get something?

If you know or are Yoruba, tell me please

2. I neva knew d devil has 6 packs... and that babaluaye is d founder of shoki. lols

3. if I may ask.. why was olorun tattooed.

4. u all can see dat the African goddess for beauty and love is black and beautiful.. tonto dike and family ' take note.

Personally, I've always been fascinated by the rich cultural history of the Yorubas and Binis.

NA SO UNA DEY START !!!!

Don't use models to depict gods , "I" as a well taught yoruba prefers seeing the gods in hand crafted wooden sculpture and clay , not some coked out model

Your work is Impressive

Thank you , But NO thank you
[/size]



Mitsurugi:
Strange a lot of Yoruba are just seeing these works, since an nna bros like me has been using them as my wall paper grin since last year. My favs are Obatala and Oya (hott babe) grin


[size=18pt][b]Exactly my point , That's how they sell it and you buy it , clearly most of the depicted gods are nude and which is why it's generated so much traffic , You didn't download the pictures because it means a lot to you , you downloaded the pictures because of the nudity

Every god in Yoruba land is decent , and Yoruba culture frowns at nudity , You'd hardly see a well trained Yoruba chick open her legs and sit down carried away while perverts peek to see the colour of her panties , Mothers take passion in teaching their girls to patonmo ,close your legs , even back then , kids as young as 5 years old would cross their legs or sag thier skirts at the middle to prevent you from seeing anything .

This is a wrong representation of Yoruba gods , One oyinbo should not come and show us how our ancestors look like or how they should look now ,


Sooner or later , images like this gets adapted to text books and then we'd loose the originality forever,

Where's the agbada, the buba , the war jacket, the cowries , the amulets ? This is a FOURKING misrepresentation and every reasonable Yoruba should frown at it


If someone sells you cheap , you can't be bought expensively
