Wetin concern u.......

BrashMan:
Africans are very funny. We keep preaching about upholding our traditions, yet the so-called custodians of the traditions are living the white man's life. After smearing themselves with these powder or whatever, he will enter his RR (a white man's creation) instead of donkey and go to his AC fitted and well furnished mansion instead of the hut his ancestors were living in, all inspired by the white man.
Next thing they will do is to look for who to sacrifice to appease their epileptic and imbecillic gods.

You didn't make any point. There is what is called modernity theory. Every society evolves with the passage of time. If the colonial masters haven't come to Africa, Africa would still have evolved with the passage of time. Our architectural style and the way we built out thatch houses would have changed as well. Using white man's creation as you rightly made allusion to still do not discount the significance and potency of our culture.

I'm Yoruba but a devoted Muslim. This voodoo that this man promotes is what I don't like about Yoruba people. Don't be surprised he might be the babalawo of the Dangotes and Otedolas cos Ooni is so inclined in juju practise and he must be the leader and chief priest of many yoruba occults

You don't have sense! Islam is a culture of Saudi that you carry for head. You have inferiority complex that's why you can't tolerate other cultures.

Yahoo plus, if you know, you know

He likes these rites cos they enrich him and bring him unmerited favours and contracts. Don't be deceived,these kings dont do any work nor hustle like Dangotes and Otedolas,they make use of voodoo rituals to force money their way. They're not appeasing gods because of their people,they're doing it for themselves

Thank you. It's our culture, our heritage, and Ooni is the custodian with the responsibilities to preserve them.

muykem:
Yoruba King must be part of all religion.

Oh, I see...
Long live the king!!

Ooni orisha, ekuu se awon baba wa

mumu, if na oyinbo dey celebrate Halloween now, u go follow dey hype am. Mind you, Yoruba people are among the most advanced in modern education in Nigeria. So preserving their cultural heritage is part of modern civilisation.

michlins:

I don't know how oyibo colonise Africans but it should be studied

Oyinbo colonise their sense join.

babasolution:

You need serious help to decolonize your brain and start appreciating your identify.

Don't mind them. That's why the Saudis put their culture of marrying their cousins in their religion. You know the Arabs, they did that bcoz they want the wealth to remain within the family and not extended to poor people.

Our culture doesn't encourage that and thank God Yoruba Muslims rejected that part. No cousins marriage in our culture.

If you like,kill all your family members and everybody in your town for rituals in the name of Yoruba tradition,I wont partake in our Yoruba tradition,I would rather stick to my Islamic culture that teaches me how to pray to God,observe Zakat and Ramadan,ask God for what I want without him collecting anything from me and without telling me to kill something or bring something to appease him. Call it inferiority complex,i dont care. If my inferiority complex leads me right,then I really love it. I'm yoruba and proud oh,but i wont partake in any yoruba cultural rite and tradition,i prefer the islamic way of doing things

LollySeaSide:
May there be a flavour to the land!
But wait oo...
I thought this man goes to church?
Or am I mistaking him for someone else?

goes to church ke? Someone that demolished church in palace built by previous Kings on the ground that he see most pastors in secret cult in belongs to. So he think there is no reason for church to still be in palace since most pastor people respect worship idol secretly therefore he just demolished the church in palace. I think one of the reasons his former wife queen Naomi left palace because she can endure the traditional practice in palace

But your religion can commit mass murder in the name of defending another human being (Mohammed). You kill people so savagely in the name of your wacked religion yet you can sit back and judge other religion

I guess you tiv man , recheard people

[quote author=babasolution post=112469075]What a primitive people,the Yoruba are so primitive[/quoteyo] you are a suffering from mental slavery

[quote author=Coolboy009 post=112480697][/quote]I cant do halloween,never but dont be deceived,this is way different from halloween,incantations and invocation of spirits would surely take place here,blood sacrifices,etc would surely take place underneath and there is every possibility that human sacrifices would take place but they wont show it on camera. I know how it goes,i know a lot about my tribe

Pele o devotee.
The world knows Africans are gullible and silly, so much so that even if a new religion springs up today, Africa would be the first place to recruit members cos they know you guys hate your roots.

Arabs are using your naivety to develop their lands while you guys follow them blindly and remain poor.
Forget religious values, they welcome you to saudi mainly for economic reasons, if not Arabs no get joy to the point of being cool with outsiders.

A lot on my mind but can't say it all now.

And you don't have to insult me, just think deeply.
That's what we lack as Africans.

He made his choice, knowing well what he dabbled into.
You can't serve to masters. Gotta love one over the other.
Oh well..

is the Ooni of Ife richer than the Alaafin of Oyo?
I ask because whenever the Ooni steps out in public you can almost smell the money on him, not so for the Alaafin. This is my opinion.

Una never see their afonja and skull minning part of culture

Some mumu people on Nairaland will be condemning this Olookun festival now but they are the ones who will be celebrating Halloween and Christmas. In case you didn't know that there is nothing different among them because they are all idol worshippers festival.

No be Fanta be this

Any cultures or traditions that cannot be modernized will be lost to the annal of history. The cultures are not of the value to themselves but of the people they are meant to serve. These cultures were created by human beings like you based on what was suitable for them and acceptable at their time and passed on to the generations after them, so why can't people add their own touch to their own culture and make it suitable for the time they are living in. Most of the practices in Yoruba cultures ought to have assumed a modern shape by now.

The English language, for example, did not get to this universal acclaim that is spoken all around the world because the Britons just sat back and spoke the same language inherited from their forefathers, most of the words in today's spoken English language had gone through many years of modification and incorporation through other languages like French, and the old ones had been modernized or anachronized to suit the lexicon of today. That is the beauty of cultures, languages or traditions all around the world: modernization.
