You tried but Orisa is not even idol. The word idol belongs to those unfortunate Europeans, trying to ridicule our traditional ways of doing things.. Those white’s are the real idol worshipper..

For example: Sango, Ogun, Eshu, etc are not Idol. They’re simply spirit..

Ifa by the way is the great philosopher & a consultant. Irrespective of whichever spirit you believe in, if something strange comes up, it’s Ifa that they’ll consult to shed light and give details on what & why..

Eshu wey you dey see so, I mean Eshu Laalu Ogiri Oko, is not the same has the Satan in the Bible o! Our own Eshu is a spirit that can fight any evil & stop the evil from happening. Me, I no dey joke with Ogun & Eshu. Once in a while, I go give them their dues… The real meaning of give what belongs to ceaser, to ceaser! They’re protective to the core !

The beautiful aspect in the Yoruba religion is that each house hold has it own Orisa(s). In most cases these households are one way or the other related to the Orisa.
In some cases, when certain things happen to people in a household frequently, they consult with IFA eleri ipin, they get answers. Some households might be told to " bo " egun or oro. In some cases, IFA will instruct them to "bo" Orisa idile
I don't think there's a perfect translation of the Yoruba word "bo".
You can decide to "bo" Ogun or Sango, even though you've no connection to them but IFA eleri ipin will guide you to also "bo" the Orisa(s) from your households.
IFA has all the answers and IFa does not lie.

AgentNairaland:
Placing statue or stone and bowing for it is an idolism.

Worship thy Lord and God alone, anything that's an object you placed and bow for is totally condemned. Even this your IFA is an idolism so far you bow for it. I read you do say IFA, this is your head means you bow and surrender for IFA. This is totally and absolutely condemned!

That would mean both Christians and Muslims are also idol worshippers 😂

simpleseyi:
.
What is idol worshipping? Is it the type that Catholics do by worshipping the statues of Nary and Jesus or the ones Pentecostals do by worshipping their Pastors?

Someone died on a cross next to criminals, but you're meant to believe the symbol of the same cross criminals died on is somewhat sacrosanct.

Let me guess, if Jesus had died from a hanging noose, I guess Christians will wear a rope around their necks 😂

omoredia:
Bowing down to kabaa shrine is now what?

Government subsidized tourism scheme, apparently the government is interested in where you go on vacation

You don't know law, where's the law

BrickandLace:

I'm sure omoluabis are not the ones producing and way billing these counterfeits to SW.

They are just the victims.

You don't know law, show me the law

The herdsmen in Southern regions, who owns their cows?

That's a very good question bro
Mist of these cows belongs to the chiefs and kings in those communities which isn't helping the situation. We are our own problem.

Over the years, farmers have learned to overcome certain obstacles with the ingenious inventions of effective solutions. Some of those hurdles and their solutions for example are
Pesticide for pest
Avicide for birds
Insecticide for insect
Even soil science to improve the quality of soil


In the 21st century Nigeria one problem remains,
The Fulani herdsmen
Why these people hate farmers is something that remains a mystery.

For every problem there's a solution, the only language they understand is force and that's the language every farmer needs to learn.

Take away the AK 47, the average Fulani is a coward and that's why I believe it's every farmer's God given right to bear arms to face this injustice.

It has not being a fair fight so far and perhaps it's time to even the playing field. If a man comes for your means of livelihood, such a man has already made an attempt on your life.

If you think these people are not xenophobic
Humor me this

Let's assume for the sake of argument Nigerians are terrible people.

Are people from Zimbabwe, Malawi and other African countries also bad or these group of putz just hate black people in general.

This is the kinda time I wish we still had someone like OBJ in power, e for cure una xenophobic madness ASAP.

I'm surprised Nigerians are still being taken for a ride, the same midnight data plan does not expire in Ghana and you can do it as many times as you want.
For Airtel and Telecel it's 3 cedis but MTN allows the flexibility to buy between 1-2.99 cedis.

The government have failed to protect its citizens, these companies are making banks with the scams they are pulling on hardworking Nigerians.

Looks like a Hawk. Why are we so superstitious and wicked? If you ask them now, they'll tell you it's a witch. The poor bird was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Blame Nollywood, they ignorantly destroyed African spirituality.

bluefilm:
You mean to say 2003, when he stepped down, so that Obasanjo can continue...?

He stepped down for MKO in the SDP primaries
Atiku has had this ambition since the 90s

Capitalist...

Anyway, it has been proven beyond doubt that you like hallucinations more than glaring truths.

Capitalist abi?

Time is a Gentleman

I was expecting a compelling counter-argument and this is the best you can come up with; quite a lacklustre rebuttal.

esnbrutality:
Dangote for North and SW...

In Biafra..entrepreneurs will be actively competing against each other.

SW needs to enjoy Dangote and his penchant for astronomical prices. Imagine buying a Bag of cement for almost 7-8k, when the raw material is directly located near his factory.

Igbos, hustle hard for Biafra, because those supporting Dangote will still protest against him and tell him he is not from their land and he should carry he factory back to the NORTH.

You just described the SW as a capitalist economy and the Ibos as the opposite.
This means the SW is an open and free market. No wonder they're flourishing.
