Religious Discrimination Against Ifa Adherent At Ibadan School by PAGAN9JA(m): 10:36pm On Apr 16, 2019 |
As narrated, "Where are all my traditionalist and all Isese well wishers? Today, one of us was disgraced and embarrassed openly here in Ibadan. She went to sat for her JAMB exam this morning. On getting there, she was first harrased by some security in brown uniform not sure if they are ManOWar or something that why will she use Ifa bead to the exam hall, the bead was on her hand for that matter. She explained to them that it's just her religion bead and it causes no harm. After entering the compound and approaching the exam hall, she was stopped again by some Civil Defence and some other securities that what was she doing with the bead in her hand. She explained to them again but they insisted she removed it or else she won't be allowed to sit for the exam. Just to avoid missing the exam and embarrassment, she complied and removed the bead, she gave it to one of the civil defense to hold for her. She finished her exam, came outside and requested for her bead from the civil defence, to her surprise the civil defence said he couldn't find it again and what does she need it for again? She left there in shame when they started shouting on her. Now my people, this is just one among many of our children going to school facing this kind of harrasment. Till when are we going to continue to condone this? When will this stop? What is our stand in this country? We need to let this get to Jamb Officials and know if this is the instructions given to their officials? This happened at Sunshine groups of school,oke bola Ibadan Please help spread this and let's get justice for our fellow traditionalist." ~Concerned Isese Youth(CIY) 3 Likes 1 Share

If hijabs and crucifixs can be allowed into examinations, then so should Traditionalist articles of faith. 12 Likes 7 Shares |

Funny story. During my service year (NYSC), the early morning parade included a worship session. The Muslims will be led off the parade ground for prayers, while the Christians would stay behind singing praise songs. Traditionalists/pagans don't exist to these people. I changed that. While the praise and worship was going on, I would move to the back of the line, fold my arms, and just stare round at the insanity around me. One morning, one of the ManOWar members noticed while going round for inspection. The following conversation ensued: MoW: Why are you not clapping your hands? HP: I am not Christian. MoW: Why didn't you join the Muslims then? HP: I am not Muslim. MoW: Are you Christian? HP: I am not Christian. I am a traditionalist. MoW: Whattt? (drawing some attention from other corp members) MoW: If you know what you are doing is legal, why not come out and say it.. HP: My religion is personal. And you people didn't mention it. MoW: What you are doing is illegal... HP: African religion is illegal in Africa? MoW: (stunned face) He stood frozen for a while - I could hear his brain grinding, like an old man's teeth on kolanut. The look of resignation came before his next reply.. "May God have mercy on your soul " and then he walked off... i no be gentleman at all i be teddy bear i no dey smoke cigar, no menthol na steady beer if you give me nonsense i feed you nonsense 10 Likes 1 Share |

lepasharon:He was really confused. Greeted me with respect every time we passed by each other in the camp. Also, my room was the only where no morning devotion was held. First morning, one 'SU' raised a prayer, and I hushed everyone. I told them my God likes me to enjoy my sleep... if their God doesn't like good sleep, they could meet him outside. Made some cool friends.. they just found me really weird. 11 Likes 4 Shares |

HappyPagan: Had a problem with it as well. I simply stood there and tried to amuse myself with all the balderdash. My hostel though was another story. I was well accepted by my roommates and they seemed to enjoy arguing with me too. I'm still friends with some of them till date. One highlight was when a traditionalist in the hostel sought me out and told me I was doing a great job, that it was a pleasure to meet me...so forth. I found out he's been bashing "imported" religions around camp too. He had a profound hatred for Christianity that I envied. Lol. 7 Likes |

--------------NEWS UPDATE ----------------- The Ide has been returned! This was resolved yesterday after the case was taken up by the Isese Youth. As narrated, "Hello my people, i so much appreciate you all. Good news, they found her bead and returned it to her! The girl returned back home sad and informed her people, today Isese people made me proud. They all went back there in full Isese squad and good enough they met the security and guess what? She was a woman! Clearly it was stated in the brochure that no one is allowed to enter into the exam hall with their beads, rings or any jewelry be it for religious or fashion purpose. On getting there, they understood everything but still if you collect someone's property, you have every right to return it afterwards but due to the hatred the woman have towards Isese, she threw the bead somewhere she couldn't find it again while other people's bead and properties were found there. When people started boiling up and make them understand we ain't taking it slightly, she knew she was in trouble. She saw traditionalist well dressed and speaking good English, standing on their feet, the woman started crying. I wasn't there with them but I was on the phone with her all through and I also spoke with the supervisor heading that school. I told them we will be going legal again them and involve lawyer! They never expected it! Miraculously they found the bead that was nowhere to be found in the first place. Still I could still hear the woman crying and at the same time praising her god. Afterwards they started begging like a baby. I also blamed the girl for leaving the center without making sure they provided her bead at all cost but at the same time, who knows what the woman would have told her. My people, we still have a long way to go but still we shall start from somewhere. Let's not entertain any form of discrimination or hatred against us. We are traditionalist not terrorist.

Nigeria has indeed changed. In the 80s when Ijanikin and Oto decide they wanted to celebrate the Oro Festival, they'd inform everyone weeks before so don't go saying you're going for some vigil or whatnot. Some tried, but the indigenes let them know they were guests in their towns! Funny though, we once had a full tapping on school grounds during Oro and the locals joined in. 2 Likes 1 Share |
