PurerareGold: Get your Facts straight. Medical students dissect cadavers, All of which are provided by the School α̲̅πϑ these are mainly unclaimed corpses. So no medical student goes †☺ a graveyard †☺ dig up bones when they are already provided by the school.

how do they know whether the corpse is claimed or unclaimed plz dont tell me. if there is a legal procedure for them, then the Benin Govt must provide a legal procedure for the Vodun worshippers. or else they can continue digging up graves.

Thank You brother.

you see there is a difference between private ritualists / frauds and established Pagan religions in West Africa.

Vodun, Ifa ORisha, Odinani, Maguzawa, etc., are not witchcraft, but established religions and spiritualities of West Africa. they practice the worship of SPiritual Forces, nature reverence, ancestor reverance, divination, ORacles, etc., and have proper shrines, priestly orders, initiations, ritual procedure, etc. When you belong to these religionss you officially call yourself as such. These religions do not practice killling, murder, etc. THey are just normal African religions. Many of the priests are well educated (though its not necessary), have done PHD ,etc and many even attend international Religious Seminars (especially Yoruba BAbalawos). in this ase , i defended the actions because in Benin, Vodun is an official Religion with a wel established priestly order (both male/female), and select commities.

now about the ritualists/protectionists/witchraft fellows , etc., these are private individuals either experimenting with the occult, or doing stuff for private gain, or to make money, etc. .

They do not necessairly belong to the above mentioned religions and come in all shapes and sizes and can be christians / muslims, common people/villagers, etc. for example in the recent case of the ritualist living under the bridge who murdered innocents and sold body parts to xtian churches, ritualists, etc.

also the grave diggers are doing a god job. what with so less space available, they are doing good by clearing old graves which can be used for other more useful purposes.

If u die 2. U pray make dem commot ur head from grave?

Vodooo is not to transform BEnin or Africa. Vodooo is to tranform oneself and to attain inner spirituality. BEnin was a Great Empire uring Vodoo days, but now colonialism, christianity , etc., have transformed it in a bad way. .

Clemzy16: The topic is misleading. The MODs should change it to "Benin Republic" instead of just "Benin" so some people don't mistook it for Benin-city, Nigeria. BTW, Rest in peace has become Rest in pieces. May God deliver this continent.

It was clearly stated. He didnt use benin city, did he?

....and when the "oneself and spirituality" is transformed (to a higher level l believe?), the next question that arises is: TO WHAT BENEFIT?

This is where this grave-robber Religion fails woefully!
'
All the Albert Einsteins and Isaac Newtons + Faradays of this world (whether as Rosicrucians, Priory, Saints Templar, e.t.c) used their own "Voodoo" to better mankind. They contributed immensely to the development of knowledge, better understanding and improved standard of life for men and you.


Any "religion or practice" that does not lead to the attainment of a better mankind is useless and should be trashed.
