Well,I'm stil in Ife/Modakeke.
I'm nt a yoruba,yet I've got notin to fear or worry abt.
The bitter true is dat sm human organisms wld be used 4 rituals,though many of us may nt know and even the traditionalists wl deny it...

Just imagine, in this 21st century and we wonder why backwardness is still prevalent in this country.

So people in the west still worship demons and devils in the name of tradition in this 21st century.
Are they not aware that there is a strong correlation between Idol/demon worship and backwardness.What a people!!!!
it seems to me they have vowed under an oath never to progress and move forward as a people.

The most advanced countries in the world have atheistic leanings. These are places that if you get a visa to, you would share testimonies in church.

Don't let your ignorance, bigotry and tribalism blind you.

Alhamdulilah I am a Muslim

Aand being a muslim is better?

When will they stop this useless tradition in Yoruba land. God will never have mercy upon them if they use anybody as sacrifice

I don't know where you are from, but it isn't as developed as Lagos. In metropolitan Lagos, Oro is still a big festival.

In Oniru for instance, they still have their festivals. When an King dies, there are traditions to be observed as the Oba is a traditional ruler.

The funny thing is the bast.ards conducting the useless diabolical ritual would go to church tomorrow.

What makes you think they're Christians? These people worship their gods which isn't the Christian god or the Muslims'. Yet, you say they'll go to church tomorrow.

They haven't offended you and you call them bast.ards and you also call their religious practice useless. Is this what 'civilization' is about?

KIRIJI:
what is unfortunate about it? Yoruba tradition dictates that when the Oro procession is ongoing, strangers, women, and non-initiates remain indoors. Is that a tough call?

As cosmopolitan as Ikeja, the capital of Lagos state is, when the late Olu of Ikeja Oba Rauf Matemi Amore died, wasnt the Oro procession observed? When the late Ayangbure of Ikorodu died was the Eleuku Diety not brought out in broad day light? Please give me a break.

So, whats their significance? Will that bring back the dead kings?

what is the economic benefit of the white smoke when a new pope is elected

You are comparing apples with stones. Which school u go sef? We are talking of oro that encourage human sacrifice and u are talking about white smoke that threatens no-one.

silly traditions that have taken us nowhere...I don't blame them.I blame Christians who are very much asleep and while they sleep the adversary is sowing tares among the wheat...

Samething happened in babcock today...women restricted from going out(oro)...thanks to PHCN...they saved the boredom

At 21st Century? somebody should tell those morons to embrace the God almighty.

who cares...redeem camp is the place to be now...by time they are through with 7 days festival i would have been richly blessed by various teaching from anointed men of God..

This people and rituals and juju stuffs are like butter on bread. To think that Winners,Redeem,Deeper Life,Mountain of fire,Four square and others are of Yoruba origin speaks a lot. Can't they LIBERATE their own people from the Devils shackles?

kareem129:
what about olosho people?

Bad Market.

Many ppl here just spewing Out nonsense..... While as a christian I do condemn d ritual aspect, I blive tradition should be preserved, d Halloween every november, isn't it a traditional celebration? Are americans nt still advanced ? D indians hv theirs gods nt 1 or two yet dey beta pass us, even d chinese ppl n japanese are light yrs ahead of us, these ppl practice TRADITIONAL things and are advanced.

To those equating tradition to backwardness I pity ur generation, na ppl like una na no go teach ur children ur own language opting for d white man's english.

To d tribal bigot, continue o, una o tell me weda d east and north no get traditional festivals and rituals wey una dey do.......

[size=13pt]What do you make of this statement?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson

Actually, human sacrifice is one of the evil that Satan himself invented. Some people who seek power feel they must shed human blood, it's all over the world not restricted to Africa. Others are only discreet about it.

Be that as it may, preservation of African culture should exclude human sacrifices. It is a satanic practice. The land will not be cleansed by human blood, the land will be ACURSED.

The revered Awujale of Ijebuland has been at the forefront of campaign to discourage ancient traditional practices that have no benefit to the society, he has made giant strides in that regard. May God bless him.. Other monarchs should join him in the task of ridding Yorubaland of these practices wherever they are still being observed. [/size]
