It can not be waved with just the hand that it means nothing when a traditional rites is usurping government power. The threat by Oro to restrict citizens movemnet is an indication that there is no governmnet in Nigeria. What kind of rite do they want to perform that will stop movemnet of citizens? Did they get permission from the police? Every tradition has such power and if they employ it the citizens will suffer and governmnet might will be usurped by the locals. People have abadndoned this tradition and allow what they do to be open. The last time i heard about such tradition that restrict people's movement was during the old benin kingdom when the did the Igue festival tht restricted the movement of strangers including that of the British consuls but the might of the colonial government prevailed. Also some religious groups have tried to impose such restriction and it didnot go down well with the governemnt who has such right.
Is it that the police are the one that granted the Oro the right to restrict citizens movement? Or they just imposed it? The Oba and his priest should keep the spirit in their houses nurture them because our world is a human world, a world ruled by a government.
The government must come out heavily on these spirits and their human guidance if not others will do same in their domain. Soldier should be out to protect citizens freedom because it is only the government that has the right to restrict people's movemnt. They should deal with whoever harasses citizens.
