[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]
The Awujale is one of those i respect among the Yoruba Obas-very intelligent and forward loking. And i av heard stories about him in line with ur assertions. I remember being told he was afflicted with a never-healing sore by an Alagemo for refusing to do some rituals. Our duty is to support people like him by speaking out against those barbaric practices. So, am fully with u on this.

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?
point of correction, foursquare is not of yoruba #orijin. It was founded by a white woman in the US called Aimee Semple Mcpherson.

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.

I am not sure you have been privileged to visit the advanced countries I've been to in the west and Europe.And in all my experience I havent seen such backwardness that you are defending.So you better be sure of what you are saying instead of advertising the depth of your ignorance.

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.
It is very very unfortunate.

I work in VI and stay in the mainland. In one occasion when they were doing this rubbish, my neighbors literally begged me to find an alternative. Either to come in much earlier or stay in a hotel in VI till after the Oro. I had then promised them i will shoot and kill many before they bring me down at night. I had to follow the course of peace and worked from VI that week. It cost me money. The inconvenience is the issue here. They can do their stuff and leave people alone.

Guess what, they will bring me down but i will bring some down. What it does to the society is that the Oro people will think twice before coming out next time, sure i would have been used as the sacrificial lamb but we would have started reshaping that culture.

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....... The issue here is not about discarding or condemning tradition. Its about restricting people's movement. Halloween and the likes doesn't infringe on people's fundamental rights your archaic 'oro' does. Ponder on that.

White people know how to respect and encourage their culture. ..even impose it on others

Culture has nothing do with technological advancement. ..in general China, Japan, india are more cultural than us...yet they have developed better than us in terms of science and technology

They learn to use their ancient practices to help in the modern world but because of Bastards like you who are the majority (all thanks to Europeans who never wished well for you) , we are not moving forward

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.

I thought 21st Century is when we see end time things according to ur stuupid pastors.

The Halloween festival in usa is as old as the oro in Yorubaland...That doesn't make usa backward abi? Please answer
..both traditional practices that all foreigners must respect
If you cannot respect oro please don't come to Yorubaland

only unintelligent people resort to insults during a discuss, take note. You turn pple off when you insult instead of making your point. A legal govt imposes a curfew as at only when necessary. It is wrong to compare a curfew imposed by a govt due to security challenges, sanitation or election schedule to one festival activity. Yes, culture is a way of life but it shouldn't restrict citizens movement. Nigeria is and remains a secular state.

Are women barred from observing gun salutes or done in the dead of d night like Oro is done? Does it entail using women or strangers for human sacrifice like Oro? Even primary school children in UK know that u dont compare apples with stones - it only happens with some of us that dont know d true application of education. Upon all ur education!!!

You speak of education. have you really gained education? Do you know your identity? Are you grounded in the values of your people?
You think education is just about western culture don't you?

I believe oro practitioners make it easy by announcing the fest and giving warning ..if you are hard headed that's a pity ....I wouldn't want to know what happens to you
