Every day these son of Jesus obas keeps relegating our culture and tradition to the background all in the name of Christianity. Na dem dey give those Edo people mouth to yab Yoruba obas. I hope Yoruba cultures and traditions won't become extinct with these sets of guys on the throne...SMH. 2 Likes |

kodded:it boggles the mind! I guess they are in support because it may not be their family members who could be sarcrified. Archaic, ignorant and backward fools, same way nigerians were killing tweens babies those days in the name of ritual. These days every nigerian is praying to have tween babies. |

kodded: The human sacrifice sentiment is one of the points that allows the brainwashing to sink. Let's face it. Yes humans were sacrificed in the past and that wasn't peculiar to Africa (the Bible told us Christ was sacrificed, so don't let us turn a blind eye to that. He was human too). Slavery was the main thing that encouraged that. The essence of sacrifice is to let go of your valuable possessions in order to protect yourself or appease the gods. People then saw slaves as one of such possessions and not as fellow humans. However as society evolved, slavery was abolished and human sacrifice abolished as well following the admonishing of Ifa that 'Bi a se bi eru, la bi omo'. Any Abore (Chief Priest) in Yorubaland asking you to bring Human head for royal or whatever sacrifice is doing his own bidding (probably needs the parts for personal rituals) and should be reported immediately. I can say that categorically because I have inside information. Human sacrifice is a thing of the past in Yoruba tradition. 7 Likes |

I won't pretend to know it all but I know more about my past as an African than the average African youth. The truth is there for those who seek it. |

gypsey: fela, chinua achebe, Soyinka are all archaic, ignorant, backward fools? is your father as intelligent or exposed as any of these men? iidiots like you will never use your head, slave mentality has drained your brain. so quick to believe every bad report about your people. ..you are the ignorant one here, to think Yoruba coronation is about killing people... Iidiots like you don't know their history. ..you probably don't even know a thing about your great grandfather, but will tell the history of arabs and Jews like it's your business here's a dunce calling people ignorant, calabar people killed twins out of lack of understanding of the biology behind it and the belief ( probably through experience) of having one twin turning out bad in society. .they sought to protect the society by killing the twins since they didn't know which will turn bad. Chiefs also took advantage of the situation .. calabar not all Nigerians the yoruba are known to revere twins, twins are sacred and venerated not killed in Yoruba traditions 300 years ago europeans were still dining on real human flesh, morons like you will never talk about that 4 Likes |

Nothing makes me cringe these days as much as seeing Africans "display" their religiosity . Have you ever seen an African saying, "oh the whiteman has left the ways of God and we blacks are the ones keeping faith alive/saving the world from damnation!? ...SMH That man is supposed to be a true custodian of tradition and heritage...why is he sabotaging it? Tragic. It would have been more respectable refusing the post/title...guessing it must have its perks eh? .....I have been so proud of the Yorubas for being the strongest adherents of their beliefs and tradition, (more than my people and some other people who even resort to taking matters into their own hands, for religion's sake, sigh)...and now this crowned one comes to say this! The world would never respect a people without their own philosophies. How can it know what you are really about when you troll and parrot other peoples' beliefs and customs to the detriment/abandonment of your own!? How do we not see this? You can be anything or Christian (not much choice here..what with having being colonised and liberated and all ) ...but one must be that without the unnecessary and ignorant denigration of the laws of the land where they will always be from...where their ancestors lived...where they will always belong to even with ten foreign passports and living in foreign lands forever. @ topic? Just return the crown already SMH @ us (praying for emancipation from mental slavery) 5 Likes 1 Share |

When will it stop? white people dined in human flesh 300 years ago , if you say so, but i believe that inhumane tradition no more exist, unlike the tradition which you would like to carry on, and if the tradition is so Good why did the oba refused it? 3 Likes |

What a great king leader and pacesetter of our time. As an African, Nigerian, yoruba, am indeed proud of our culture. But not all these cultural practices are good. As new generation citizens, we should be able to draw a line between good culture and bad culture. Many decent and Godly people have rejected to serve their people either in politics, royalty and a host of others just because of the rituals they have to go through. Must we continue to deny such great people the opportunity of serving their people just because we want to hold on to one archaic and retrogressive culture. The Oba Owu has bared it opened finally. The question should always be what are the reasons for those rituals, are there alternative ways out, are there superior arguments against such rituals? Has there been any developments or progress from the age long rituals of our forefathers. Why must we hold on to something that cannot prosper us? Why must we be so proud to hold on to such cultural practice just because we want to preserve the way things are done as of old? How many of the Kingmakers, or ritualists are still living by the old way of life? Let's stop deceiving ourselves. Our forefathers worshipped idols that did more harm than good. And the king here is saying No. The earlier responses by majority of nairalanders on this thread have shown to me clearly why Nigeria and many of us we are not progressing despite the fact that we are either Christians or Muslims. Kudos to the king. May he live long and rule with righteousness on the throne. He has chosen to live by what he believes. I pray God will justify him and grant him a successful reign. 1 Like |
