Our leaders take their oath of office, and pledge with the bible or koran, not to be bad leaders.

Does anyone else think their pledges would be carry more weight in their minds, if made before these African deities?

Unlike the imported faiths, they don't do 'forgiveness'.


The Ofo. The dreaded Igbo staff is used by traditional priests for all types of metaphysical validation.

Babalawo does not 'collect bribe'. He receives payment for services rendered.
