So what are the Oro Priests?

ipobarecriminals:
confused pipu.Una wey dey spread mat on major road and make motorists groan for hours on Fridays nkoh?Nonsense

RisMas:
some people need their brains examined The moment they saw MURIC, they never cared to read the content. Nairaland is peopled by lazy children of hate. before you attack me, try and read the statement and ask your self why you are not stupid

PaChukwudi44:
For the first time I will have to agree with MURIC.How on earth in the 21st century in a big city like lagos,People are stopped from exercising their fundamental right to freedom of movement because some traditionalists are performing some ceremony.Its so so shameful

ipobarecriminals:
Bia! oga Xtian.Nobody force u to live there.Wen we xtain fey spread canopies, use 2 by 2 shops ,street for our gospel revival, do dey arrest una?Respect oda religion. U can relocate to where xtain dey,simple.

neezar:
Muric should shut up

this is yoruba tradition and it must be respected in their region, the oro festival have been in existence before Islam came to the west

btw I am not from the south west....just stating the obvious

bmankpatako:
Muric is speaking the mind of all. Let's stop to be stupid pls. But if u insist on been stupid then blame ur parents who do not raise u well.

PaChukwudi44:


its a very stupid tradition and should be done away with.Why don't you ask Calabar people to resume killing of twins because it was there before Christianity and islam came

mfm04622:


Did you stop others from doing what they want while you do your own?

jusRadical:



But muslims block public roads whence they are praying.

Yinkakatty:


Oro priests do not kill others. Besides, they give warnings prior to the time. They've done their oro nw, how many people died? This is Yoruba land and it's tradition. I'm a Christian but I believe in 'live and let live'. I do not believe all Muslims are terrorists but which religion has killed more people in this country? Which religion has carried out more terrorist attack in the country? They should Goan sit down abeg

PaChukwudi44:


Its very stupid and very shameful that such is happening in the 21st century.Even the abobaku stuff still sounds unbelievable.Are you saying we should be grateful to them for informing us whenever they want to trample on the rights of our women? are you for real? BTW how is the killing of twins in calabar a different issue?

mfm04622:


Any Muslim that does that is wrong. How does that justify doing Oro festival during the day?

wirinet:


I doubt you are a female. You mean to tell me you see not see the discrimination against women in this so called law that forbids women from carrying out legitimate business but allows men.

How is this Oro law "live and let live" a law that imprison women to their homes the whole day? What happens in an emergency or if a woman is in labour?
What will you have said if it was Muslims that imposed curfew on Christians for a whole day? You would have been screaming "blue murder ".

EarthXmetahuman:
This is why I have serious problem with Muslims.

If everyone starts claiming right, won't they start bombing people?

They go about every day, with their ahuja disturbing the neighborhood shouting in the name of calling prayer, no one I asking them to stop.

They block some major roads or have public holiday when they want to have they nonsense holiday, no complain.

Suddenly, they have problem with festival that has been around even before Mohammed was born..


Why must Muslim gave problem with everyone? Are they the only religion in this country? Shey the pro festival didn't affect the Christians?

mfm04622:


That is the mistake people make. Islam was in Yoruba land long before some of the dieties Yoruba worships. For example, Islam was in Yoruba land before Egungun worship was introduced to Yoruba land from the Taps people by Sango's mother. Islam was in Yoruba land also before Sango's worship. Don't have record of when Oro started in Yoruba land.
The problem any right thinking person will find with this Oro festival is why was it done during the day? Oro was usually done at night. What changed? They don't get enough people to kill during the night again? I will suggest you think things through instead of just reacting because a Muslim pointed this out

EarthXmetahuman:
stop talking crap.

Nothing will happen to any female that goes out on that day.

Oro tradition is to protect women from the oro god.

No one will attack you if you decide to go out. Whatever happens to female who decided to go out on oro day spiritually is her problem.

If you are ignorant about something, make sure you do research before going to public forum and be comparing nonsense.

mfm04622:


When did Yoruba started doing Oro during the day? This is the main thing MURIC is against. Not their right to worship their god. Let's talk when you answer that

jusRadical:



Are you not aware that muslims do that a lot?

Have you not been part of it?

Oro even go for days.. Civilization restricted to just a day in a year.
