Mind what you say.
shymexx: Bwahahahahahahaha

Most naija pastors are closet traditionalists just as most roman catholic priests are closet homos.

And most arab muslims love sha.gging camels.

Nothing shocks me anymore. It's a crazy world of gullible people. undecided

Are you really sure of what you are saying? Did you really go to the said town of the late man of God to confirm this. You do realize this is not a joking matter. Whatever you say here will go a long way in affecting how people's make up their mind about this whole matter.

Also try to correct or edit your post to make it's meaning clearer to people.

Also keep us updated with any new information you might obtain.

Well, it's clear from your reply you are not using your brain properly and you are not even well informed, if you post on Nairaland and you do not want your post commented on then you may go ahead and create your own platform where you can be talking to yourself, or invite brainless people like yourself to interact with you

if thus is another lie to discredit a true man of God then may your days on earth forever be desolate, if its true that d man was a cultist parading as a pastor, may death, curses, HIV cancer, AIDS, be his and his familys forever.
Is quite unfair, u wouldn't have encompassed his family in this matter. His family may know nothing about his secret deal. May God forgive ur heart and ur mouth...

Akainzo:

You are a certified ignoramus. Based on your logic, as Easter is not a religion but a ritual of the Chriatian religion, tell me, the Oro is the ritual of which religion or cult?

My friend, who tell you that Oro has no members? So in your dreams only certain family members are in the Oro? You confuse the family that is responsible for the worship of the deity with the deity itself. Or is the Priest the religion/cult?

You are seeing it as argument because you lack no knowledge and thus result to abuses rather than learning. As I have advised you earlier, go home and ask questions from the elders.
is this typical of Nigerian graduates? They argue on what they don't know. Oro is ritual/rite. It can be performed by any cult group or the town. Muslim and xtian say prayers. Prayer is not a cult group. Why do we have so many graduates as ignoramus in Nigeria. No wonder why this country still remains. I am educating you in what I once did before. You are still arguing. Must you keep arguing when you are convinced? Oro is performed for the following reasons, by the following people: 1. Ifa/alawo cults to usher away the spirit of a dead member. Or to seek for more powers from their diety 2. At war, the town performs it to summon the ancesstors to come and fight. 3. Routine annual prayer for protection. 4. Town can use it to honor a dead hero. If you were in Ife during Ife-modakeke war, this was common in ile-ife. Any group of people can perform oro. Sango people performs oro before starting sango festival. You don't know anytin, but to accept is your problem. I'm not saying ajanaku is not a cult member. I am only correcting your stupidity that oro is not a cult. Oro is a ritual. And stop disgacingNigerian graduates. Sango has performers, its a family heritage. Esu diety has custodian, its a family heriyage. Egungun has custodian, its also a family tin. Oro has custodian or performer, its a family heritage tin. We call them omo ile oloro. See I don't argue rigidly. Let me come to your side. You can say his cult group performed oro rituals for him. Mostly if not all yoruba cult groups performs oro. Hope you understand.

And in Yoruba land. If you belong to cult/ogboni society, when you die, they will claim your corpse. They won't allow you bury it. And they can go to war bcuz of that. Why haven't they claim that pastors body?

nollywood and old wives myth.

nobody claims any body. they reserve the right to perform their own rites of passage. if it involves the body then they insist on being given opportunity to have their ceremony with the body.

and this is not even a yoruba thing..... its a human thing in every society.

even modern religions. or do u think u will be allowed to bury a prominent imam without the ritual bath and wrapping in white cloth?

This will serve as an example for those who placed pastors higher than God. Pastor this,Pastor that. Any little problem pastor ooo my husband do this oo, pastors ooo my wife don start again ooo...That's why some people are not independent because it is their pastors who dictate how they live their life.

This is really interesting,in other words oro is like a ritual or spiritual rite performed by cult or group of people basically for spiritual purposes .but for oro to be performed for someone by a group that person must be or have been a member.
The question now is which particular group perfomed the oro rituals for ajanaku a k a babalawo?

It is only God that can judge. We can only learn from it. We must be no part of the world and never put our trust in nobles.
pastors are not to be worshipped, they are to help us draw closer to God by teaching us constantly to serve God with all our mind and our whole soul.
Finally, God does not give patent miracle right to any pastor. Do not expect any miracle from any pastor. 1 Cor 13:1-12.
Re: Oro Traditionalists Perform Pastor Ajanaku 's Burial Rites by olorogun1: 7:18am On Aug 23, 2013
The fact that Oro rite was performed in the man's town before he was buried doesn't necessarily means he was a cultist,if you're well informed as a Nigeria you'll know gbongan as mentioned in the post is in osun state and the state is well known to hold traditional rites in high esteem regardless of your status or position, and ajanaku case might even be a little complicated if his own town or village is even deeper I mean so remote (typical village setting).if his family had decided to bury him in lagos or more civilize area that may not occur. Some of us need serious education in Nigeria about our culture and so on,even the whites knows some of these things than we nigerians

I think you and hotwax are basically saying the same thing,what he is saying is that oro is not a cult group but sort of ceremony or rites.anything done to a body by a group of people which he or she belongs to before death and which is done to anyone withing that group can be said to be an oro.oro can be said to be rites or spiritual ceremonies.we christians we have our own lying in state and so on,the only diffenece is that ours is done openly and everybody can see what is been done unlike this one that was done for ajanaku the babalawo in the midnight

are u people suprise with this news, he is not d first or the last. The pioneer of Church business Arch. Benson idahosa, when he dies too; the ogboni fraternity came around to performed their burial rite on him which cause chaos in benin then but due to gullibility of our people, have eyes but they can see. Church in my country is pure business. O lord lead my people to d right path.

That is my point. Maybe his baba-alawo, or ogboni cult group performs oro for him. I dont want to offend God. I said "Maybe". I didnt believe the news in the first place. But I believe more news will come out on this and we will see the truth later.

I am not talking about nolywood. I am a core yoruba man. Dont tell me what I know. If you belong to Ogbonis, your family cant bury you. Its Ogbonis that will bury you. If you insist and plead with them, they request for a part of his body, usually the "head" or his heart. But they will take something compulsorily and if you prove strong head. Then its spiritual war. And I know you cant win that spiritual war. Because the pastor you are running too is also a member.

At the end, you allow them take what they want. This is not nollywood. This is about culture and religion.

My advise to you is:

Please more of research and culture, tourism. Less of computer games and nollywood films.
Read broadly. Brazillians and cubans are studying Yoruba culture not because they want to go spiritual, they discovered that Yorubas worship 2,777 gods. They want to know about Yorubas culture. That culture is rich, even more that Indians. Is just that nollywood is still backward, they dont. They still dont know how to produce films like Americans. Yoruba history and legend will rule the movie world.

I saw a movie "akara Ogun". Its a novel written in the 70's and 80's. Thank God I have read the novel, when I saw the movie. I was like, If I see the producer of this film. I will kill him. Nollywood are just saboteurs
