Only intellectually myopic minded individuals with a tunnelled style of reasoning will judge dis outrageous act of blatant insanity as peculiar to the igbos.
dats all i gotta say,

^^^^^^
it is just petty teasing that we do on NL. don't take it seriously. ibos do it to others too

That was in my village

Here we go again with the usual tribal nonsense. As if ritual killing is not a common place all over Nigeria. So, i don't know why the air heads on this forum are living up to their reputation.

the good thing here is this people dont give a damn about exposing evil unlike the yahoorubas who would do any thing to bury the truth in order to continue to fool themselves and the whole nation and the world,the yorokpas i have worked with them so know them,they can go on to fool themselves but not people like me.many dispeakable evil things take place yahooruba land but they will see it and keep their mouth shut so to hide it from outside world.where is ogboni cult where 80% the whole of them are connected,ogboni cult where every member must take part in human eating,sleeping with a dead person,sacrificing family member or best friends is it not in yahooruba land?even here in the north alot of our people including some of my primary school mates are into those dirty and evil act.atleast the people in abia didnt choose to pretend it didnt happen like the yahooruba do all the time,mara su kunya yahoorubawa.

hmmmm

2many shallow minds in NL. There is no cultism in that story, read with understanding. A man just got angry in a late-hour village meeting and did some damages, that's all.

No way, they want to use this post to water down the abomination carried out by those ABSU student. We will not be swayed until the culprits are found and publicly stoned to death in front of their parents so that they too can feel the pain. Sacrifice ko sacrifice ni. Let us tackle the issue on ground because this one that the governor and his commissioners are quickly denying before investigations even starts maybe one of the relations are involved.

All of u shd stop being tribalist. There is no tribe without a cult or shrine in Nigga. This incident can happen in any tribe. The  question is: how did d victim get there if hes not a cult member nd hes supposed to b studying @ sch? Serve him right.

Ibo Ibo Ibo Ibo!!!

why do christians like rituals

can't believe people take Dialy Sun seriously yet doubt Sahara Reporter's veracity,

Na wa o!

new thins do happen in this country everyday. God protect us!

We need legislation to eradicate rituals, cannibalism in Yorubaland- Erelu Lola Ayonrinde -Raises posers on Oba Funso Adeolu’s corpse

Erelu Tunwase AyonrindeErelu Tunwase of Ode-Remo, Chief Lola Ayonrinde, who is the Otun Iyalode of Shomolu and Lagos District, and also the Yeye Akinrogun of Ikeji-Ile Ijesa was twice Mayor of the London Borough of Wandsworth. She talks to AYO-LAWAL GBENOBA on her campaign against human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. Excerpts:

WHAT is your campaign all about?
The ‘Say No To Cannibalism In Nigeria’ campaign is aimed towards eradicating the ancient and obnoxious practice of mutilating the bodies of traditional rulers after death. The rituals and sacrifices parts of the body of a dead king, especially in Western Nigeria, are used for are barbaric and a disgrace to the country in this 21st century. The movement is out to stop these evil practices which are not in consonant with the will of God and against the fundamental human rights of the affected traditional rulers. When a king dies, they say they have to give his heart to his successor on the throne to eat. They explained that it will make the new king strong and courageous but, is that not deceit? How can eating somebody’s flesh give courage to another person? They mutilate the remains of these kings and engage in fetish and obnoxious activities which add no value to anybody or the society in general.


Why do you need to feed an incoming royal father with the heart of a dead one? This cannibalism started with Christopher Colombus who believed that when a king ate the heart, or some other parts of a dead ruler, some major attributes of the dead was transferred to the new king. This is sheer cannibalism and has no place with God. And, I want the chiefs, the traditional rulers themselves and other stakeholders to know that any tradition that does not recognise God is doomed. The government must put a stop to this cannibalism going on in some parts of Nigeria because, it is even against the constitution of Nigeria. Section 38 subsection 1 of the Nigerian constitution gives every citizen the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, while section 17 subsection 26 declares that the sanctity of the human person shall be recognised and human dignity shall be maintained and enhanced. Where is the sanctity of the human person in all these? Where is human dignity?


What motivated this campaign?
I was very close to the late Alaye of Ode-Remo, Oba Funso Adeolu, the popular Chief Eleyinmi of the rested Village Headmaster soap opera. Few months after his death on August 21, 2008, he started appearing to me and I had months of traumatic haunting. In his lifetime, Oba Adeolu was a Christian and he made it known that he did not partake in anything fetish during his installation as king. He explicitly, several times, demanded that when death came calling, his corpse should be handed over to his family so that he could be given a proper Christian burial. However, his corpse was not released to the family. After his death, he appeared to me several times, and kept telling me about many things. He said his corpse was handed over to the ‘odis’ (slaves) who treated it like that of a criminal. They took bits and pieces of his remains for their own use while some parts were distributed to the four corners of the town.


It was while going round that I discovered what happened and I met some chiefs who confessed what happened but asked me to forget it because there was nothing we could do about it.

All the ‘odus’ of Ifa do not approve using human beings as sacrifice, the constitution does not approve and to crown it all, God Almighty frowns at this practice, they are doing it to appease whom? Some of the kings today are enlightened and those who are born again Christians, like Oba Adeolu, are renouncing these things. So, why hold on to an obnoxious and barbaric act? Oba Adeolu believed he would be given a decent burial and that is why his ghost has refused to rest. Even in Ijebuland, these things were abolished years ago and Ijebuland under the Awujale agreed they would bury kings according to their religion.


So, how do you hope to stop the practice?
We are canvassing that our traditional rulers should be buried whole, without being mutilated and it should be in the open. There is secrecy because of the evils attached. It is untenable scientifically that the heart is eaten for so and so reasons. To start with, let us have the installation of kings in the open, no aspect of the installation should be shrouded in secrecy. It should be a celebration of our culture so, why should it be shrouded in secrecy? When everything becomes transparent, it will even help younger ones to know more about our culture and we will be able to restore some of our societal values. Why should obas be laid to rest in a paganic manner? If a governor gives staff of office to a king, giving him recognition and authority, that king is under the governor so, why should the government condone barbarism in this age? The ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs should do something about this, if not, the government is endorsing cannibalism. True that some of the kings went through these rituals during installation but those who opted out should be given that grace of opting out of the rituals in death. They should be buried according to their faith. The practice is a disgrace to the whole of South West because it is common there.


We are appealing to the traditional rulers who were installed through cannibalism to renounce it publicly and declare they don’t want their hearts to be eaten or other parts of their bodies to be used for any form of ritual. Abolition of slave trade took place years ago. So, why do we still have some people in Ode calling themselves slaves (‘odis’)? We need legislation to stop the barbaric act and we are appealing to our lawmakers to rise up to this task of eradicating cannibalism in Nigeria. There should be a law backing a king to opt out of fetish installation and burial and it should become an offence for anyone to tamper with the remains of a king, for whatever purpose, or to give the body to the ‘odi’ for rituals. The penalty should be without an option of fine so that the perpetrators would know how grave the offence is. The ‘odi’ in Ode can be given money to buy goat, ram, cow, or whatever they need for sacrifice, if they must, but there must be total abolition of human sacrifice in the country. Efforts are being made by some Ogun State traditional rulers to stop it but some feel the fetish practice must be protected. The government must detach itself from it.


Internationally, human sacrifice, cannibalism, witchcraft and sorcery are illegal so, why should it be done with impunity in Nigeria, a country that is known as the giant of Africa? Infact, politicians should begin to include the abolition of cannibalism in their campaign programmes, and party manifestos by 2010.


What efforts have you made so far to network and get people involved?
We give glory to Almighty God. I have spoken to so many kings who secretly don’t want it and we are telling them that they should make an open declaration against these evil practices. The campaign would be boosted if they do because people believe they all knew and agreed to these evil practices before being installed. We now call on the royal fathers again, in the name of Almighty God, to declare publicly that they don’t want these fetish practices to continue. I have carried the campaign to the international level so that Nigerians of affluence who are in diaspora would lobby the lawmakers and get a legal backing for the campaign to eradicate human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. A number of international media like the BBC have aired my interview on the campaign and some Nigerian people abroad are involved in the lobbying for a legislation to stop the obnoxious practices.


We call on the ‘oluwos’ and ‘odis’ in Ode to review the entrenched ill that has no value to the society. We appeal to them to accept cows and goats and allow our royal fathers to be buried according to their beliefs. Then, it was about time that the royal fathers are constituted into the House of Royals, like the House of Lords, so that they would have more power, say and patnership in governance. This would help them to contribute meaningfully to issues affecting them and the society at large.

Church Where Founder's Skeleton Is Worshiped Lwkmd!

The founder’s skeleton

Has the world eventually entered the “last days” as prophesied in the Bible, the holy book for Christians? Maybe, if the activities of some so-called Christians are anything to go by. According to II Timothy 3-7: “In the last days, perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.”

The holy book further states that in the last days, men would have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof and men will ever be learning, and will never be able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The story is hardly believable but it is true that about five years after the death of a pastor, members of his church still worship his skeleton because of their faith in the efficacy of his powers.
To members of the church, late Jacob Adebayo Oladele, who was the founder, Millennium Gospel Church (MGC), remains powerful even in death.

In February 2010, the police stormed the premises of MGC located at an abandoned aerodrome in a vast forest at Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun State, following a tip-off by the monarch of the town, Alayemoore of Ido-Osun, Oba Adedapo Adeniyi Sapoyoro. The monarch, who said the palace had been inundated with series of allegations of high-handedness and weird worship style of the church members, led a team alongside the police to the church where a purported skeleton of the church’s founder was recovered.

The police arrested 15 suspects while people of the town warned the church members never to return to the land, which belongs to the government. Sunday Sun gathered that five of the suspects are still standing trial at an Osogbo Magistrate Court. Members of the church however insist that they are not ritualists and never killed anybody or performed any ritual in the church.

One of those standing trial, Mrs Florence Oluwaloni Oladele, who is the deputy founder said: “We are not ritualists. We worship our Lord Jesus Christ like every Christian. The skeleton belongs to our founder. Truth shall prevail and we will be vindicated. This is a test of our faith and members should be steadfast and more prayerful.”

Head, Pathology Department at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECHTH), Dr Akinwumi Komolafe, confirmed the presence of the skeleton in the morgue, but said the police did not present a request for tests to be carried out on the skeleton. He said the hospital authorities would keep the skeleton until it receives further directive from the police.

It was however gathered that some of the church members have been visiting the mortuary in order to worship the late founder who they described as their Messiah. “Before stopping them from coming to see the skeleton, some who came were practically worshipping the skeleton. They rolled on the ground, shouting his name, weeping, wailing and appealing to him to answer their prayers. They are fanatical about him and if care is not taken and the skeleton remains in the mortuary more than necessary, they may go wild and take steps to recover it. The mortuary needs more security,” a source at the hospital warned.?

When contacted, the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Solomon Olusegun, said the “case is in court.”
But a police source said: “The skeleton may soon be released to the members since nobody had come forward with a claim that his/her relation was missing.”

“Apart from the skeleton, police did not find any other human or animal part at the church. Initially, we were made to believe that more bodies were going to be recovered from the church like that of the infamous Okija Shrine. None was found apart from the skeleton. However, all theories pointed to the fact that the skeleton belongs to the church founder. You know how fanatical some people could be with living or dead founder of their faith.

“The skeleton will soon be released for burial. At least, the man should be allowed to rest in peace. We still appeal to people who may have contrary information about the church to volunteer it to the police.”
At press time, police authorities were in confusion over what to do with the skeleton even as the hospital management anxiously awaited the collection of late Adebayo’s skeleton for burial because according to them, “the mortuary is meant for dead bodies and not skeleton.

Abia. . . . GOD'S OWN STATE!
Guess they ain't living up to that slogan.

He who leaves by the cult, dies by the cult.

read this story like zillion tyms on nl and wonder how fwr this ERELU has gone with her req. for legislation.
legislation drives some traditions underground making it more dreadful than req.
secondly i personally was acquinted with chief eleyinmi when he was the king and i doubt wether he will support this erelu during his reign,
finally all obas knew what they were going for b4, during and after corronation.
i will be more than happy for this woman to drop all her traditional titles as they were not forced on her or are they?

how do i believe that these many people do not comprehend English.
first the topic is bull shit.
cos it does not complement the story.
seconly, where is there no cult?
why are we so ready to jump at each other and tear our eyes out for nothing?
criticise contructlvely or just shut the mouth.

All The Idiots And Bastards Talking Crap About The Igbos are They Better Off where Does It Not Happen?Is it in Shagamu?Ijebu-Ode,ijebu-igbo,, Yoruba people are just Fools, PIGS!!!!!

Everything in Nigeria is about tribal and ethnic affiliation. People leave the real issue to attack the other tribe and the other tribe defends, a vicious cycle. What does it matter as before you are done your tribal attack and defense, the killers, ritualists and leaders are having a swell time! Who knows, they may be at your door now and they must be happy that you losers cannot recognize evil and deal with it because it is EVIL as that gives them unlimited room to operate and kill more of you brain-dead (zombies) tribalists!

Nigerians should grow up and fast! After 50years we are still not de-tribalized irrespective of our exposures and education. How can we be serious to fight our collective problems as a nation when we are so tribalised in thinking. What a mindset!  We pretend we are one outside while inside we hate each other. A problem like this has nothing to do with tribe, it happens elsewhere as well perhaps in different format. Igbo/Yoruba hatred for each other is baseless b/c nothing is really at stake. We should not forget Hutsi/Tutsi case and the masacre. Was anything achieved? No wonder the people in power play with this tribal sentiment trap to insult our collective intelligence everyday.And we are here sectionalizing crime. Wake up!

This is another unfortunate incident in ABSU,like I said the other time the school management is doing nothing as regards the security of their students in this case I suggest a vibrant student unionism in that school like the way is being done in OAU IFE.

The so-called cult should be disbanded and its members imprisoned for a while.

Inhumanity on all fours. It is quite unfortunate that Igbo people are labelled as ritualists but they brought it on themselves. From otokoto,ezego and co,it is always one story of ritual killing or the other coming from their part of the country.

more like they expose what goes on in their domain instead of hiding it.
