‘Babalawo’ Group Push for Incorporation of Traditional Religious Knowledge in sc by Matrixliveng: 2:45pm On Mar 27
The Federal and State Governments must establish schools devoted to imparting traditional religious knowledge, according to the Traditional Religion Worshippers' Association.

By taking this action, we hope to protect and share Yoruba culture and customs with the next generation.

The Oyo State Association secretary, Fayemi Fakayode, advocated in an address in Ibadan for the inclusion of traditional religious knowledge in elementary and secondary school curriculum, similar to how topics on Islamic and Christian religious knowledge are taught.

In order to educate the next generation about Yoruba history and legacy, the secretary—who also happens to be the founder of Olodumare's Temple of Light International—signed a statement personally. He attributed misunderstandings about traditional religion to misinterpretations of African roots and culture.

He stated that children and grandchildren would no longer have to depend on outsiders or people of different religious backgrounds to learn about their religion, culture, tradition, and history if Traditional Religious Knowledge (TRK) was incorporated into the educational system. This is because outsiders have a tendency to portray religion in a negative light in order to draw people away.

Fakayode said, “We made this call during the installation of two Brazilians, Awoyomi Fakayode and Iyanifa Ifatayo Obemo as Mayegun and Yeye Mayegun of Ìjọ Ìmọ́lẹ̀ Olódùmarè Àgbáyé, respectively, on Sunday at Alade Town in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.

“The time has come for both the Federal and State Governments to include TRK as a subject in the primary and secondary school curriculum, like they have the IRK and CRK, respectively. There is a need for proper education to impart to the younger generations the needed knowledge of our traditions and religion.

“Also, there is a need to equip the younger generations with culturally based knowledge which will make them useful for themselves and their land as well as implanting in them the spirit of patriotism.

“We call on the traditionalists to start making efforts to establish this subject in our primary and secondary schools, while the Federal and State Governments will give it the needed support by approving its inclusion in the school’s syllabus and curriculum.”
