iduzebaba:There is no devil in Yoruba religion.We do not believe any entity is completely evil. Eshu is not the "DEVIL" that is a misrepresentation. It is also an imposition of a colonial Muslim and Christian doctrine. Eshu is NOT the source of evil but indeed of many good things and yes of evil too. Yoruba do not have the concept of DEVIL |

PAGAN9JA: Whether wood, clay, stone, don't u think they're still models? A model is a model, whether human or otherwise. As for wood or clay being more 'objective' 4 worship, I don't argue with u. Pro'ly u worship d gods so u know better. But d artistic representations u saw are not meant 4 worship or anytin like that. James C Lewis choose 2 represent dem in his own way that would probably resonate with a wider audience. And u have 2 admit, they luk more majestic, comely, graceful and more alive than those piece of wood n clay. All in all, his intention is not 2 undermine anybody's tradition. Its not like he's forcing dem on anybody, neither did he place d models in all yoruba shrines n call dem d ultimate representation. U guys shud appreciate d art n stop being pedantic. Also, stop bashing other pple's religion. U come off as intolerant |

pasol4real: Arrrrrrrgh! U just had d quote d whole article? Yea gods do marry and generate other gods (according to mythology). All of them not being up to Amadioha is subjective. But for me, I think Amadioha would be d equivalent of Sango. Same concept behind dem |

Volksfuhrer: Movies by Nigerians, right? Have you seen any Yoruba movie where esu odara was nayked or sango wore suit? Perhaps my previous comment was too emotional, don't blame me, blame my passion for culture and tradition But my point which I'll gladly stand by the artist's expression did not exhibit any real / original cultural element, it's totally off |
