Give me link to the report where the Oba said Human sacrifice was a core component of Yoruba religion .

I've actually highlighted it for you if you choose to read

nihilistjnr:
Who is Babalawo Obanifa?

Where is his shrine? Where is his office?

So the word of a nameless, faceless entity online should have more weight than the Ooni of Ife?

I'm sorry you have to do better or go and sit down. It's Monday morning please

Why shift goal post.

I gave you link to a blog that extensively explain an Odun Ifa where it states that Ifa did not ask for human sacrifice.

Your business is not with babalawo Obanifa or whatever, the Odun Ifa is not the word of Babalawo Obanifa.

Instead of beating round the bush quote where Ifa says offer human sacrifice, or quote where the Ooni of Ife said human sacrifice is a core part of Yoruba culture.

The highlighted says nothing about any Ooni of Ife saying that Human sacrifice is a core part of Yoruba culture .

That says a lot about your level of comprehension.

I am not an English professor nor is English my stronghold.

Why don't simplify the English in layman's term

Or instead of quoting a junk report, quote a clear and precise report where Ooni of Ife states that human sacrifice is a core part of Yoruba religion.

I gave you a peer reviewed journal article from Jstor.

What did you give me in return?

Right.

But I'm the one quoting a junk report

Bruv it's Monday morning abeg. Let's move on.

You have failed to quote:

- An Odun Ifa where Ifa or any Orisa ask for Human sacrifice.

- Where Ooni of Ife said Human sacrifice is a core of Yoruba culture .


You have also failed to prove your claim that states Human sacrifice is a Yoruba tradition/culture.

The report simply does little or nothing to prove how Human sacrifice is a Yoruba tradition.

I am very sure the report can easily be debunked by an well read historian .

All in all I rest my case, use this Quote of Ooni of Ife guide body.

You don't have to single out the Yoruba culture. In various parts of the world where people believe in one god or the other and have various superstitious beliefs, ritual human sacrifices are/were common.

Even Christianity, the world's most popular religion, has this same barbaric act of ritual human sacrifices at its core: Yahweh sacrificed (killed) his only begotten son, Jesus, to save the world he supposedly created.

Whichever way Christians edit and continue to edit the Bible, smart people can observe this same barbaric act of ritual human sacrifice at the heart of Christianity.

Or should I give you other references of the barbaric act from the Bible, such as how Abraham sacrificed his son for Yahweh, etc.

Whether it's done by the whites in the name of God (Jehovah), or by the Jihadists to please Allah following the footsteps of the founder of their religion, or by the traditionalists, ritual human sacrifices are evil and barbaric.

I'd love to see these references especially that of Abraham sacrificing his son to Yahweh.

Hope these references contain dates and the name of the son.

Nna anyi sacrifice abata gó

Were you in the board room when this decision was made?

Did you just say they don't force players on Guardiola? Tell me how Jack Grealish came into the picture.

Pep actually sign Grealish. You mean you don’t know pep and his friends are the ones running man city, the biggest luxury a manager can get. After first season with Chelsea Conte wanted to sign Virgil, lukaku, Sandro and not letting Matic go but what did Chelsea board do, they did opposite of what the man want. Pep can not do jack under this condition

From Jorginho to Babalawo

You posted an article where your sources are 'craving anonymity'. Who do you then ascribe the statement to? If Ooni of Ife really doesn't believe in human sacrifice he would say it on the record.

Eni Je Oba is the Yoruba phrase that colloquially means someone has been crowned king. You and I and any other Yoruba person knows the literal translation of that phrase. It's not a huge stretch to jump from ritualised cannibalism as an ascension rite to ritual human sacrifice

Anyway bros give it a rest. It's clear you've never had to write a well referenced academic essay.

Have a blessed week ahead.

I have to say, I admire your insightful historical knowledge of Nigerian culture especially Yoruba, there has been several moments in the past you've posted seasoned insights into historical Yoruba culture.
Do you also know as much for other major tribes in Nigeria?

Which Roma player are you going to blame if Jose mourinho get the sack ?

What is my concern with Roma? I love Mourinho doesn't mean I worship him like you do Pep.

Don't ask me unnecessary question again. How do you even have the time to dig out a specific post I made some 7 years ago because Mourinho lost to Juventus? Guy, you get time o.

If leyqute had commented I would have confirmed my suspicions of him being a babalawo priest

Amoto94:
Jesus was neither killed nor crucified and Abraham didn't sacrifice his son it was a test which he passed ( ram was used when he was about to slit throat), instead of you to stick to performing experiments in the lab or writing research papers to further your academic career you rather engage in telling lies about religion of people to sound smart. Teejay who do you like this?

I beg your pardon.

Don’t blaspheme the prophet of Jah.

I don't really track other cultures like that to be honest.

I'm fascinated with Yoruba history though, and some aspects of Yoruba spirituality.

Leyqute:
Don’t blaspheme the prophet of Jah.

It was just me who hasn't been paying attention to the spirits' words about you...

I agree with the spirit now... You are a babalawo.

You've left your place at the mountain to the hinterlands

Beware thou, oh Skimpledawg. Lest the wrath of the Lord be upon thee.

His prophet ascendeth to Zion to intercede on behalf of his people. Be wary, so fire and brimstone descendeth not upon thee.

It's only today I will hear that Pep best friends Txiki Bergiristan and Ferran Soriano forced Grealish on him. Popi is something else. Nowhere has this even been gossiped in media

It is the new normal, once your favourite manager fails blame it on the board forcing players on him. We saw it from Conte and Mourinho fans when both of them were relieve of their duties so Pep can't be an exception.

airmark:
Some people will just post fallacious stuff with so much confidence, and if not debunked, they will continuously run with it.

Popizaino, please learn from A40's confession and Eruditor's shameful disappearance, you can't defend Fraudiola and go unscathed.

Blame Conte and Mourinho fans and not me and pls you better don't die cus I will not stop defending pep guardiola. The day I stop defending him is the day he will sign for man urinated.

In a nutshell, going forward we shouldn't take your comment for it right ?

You saw it from Mourinho and Conte at Chelsea.

If you don't know what Chelsea is like by now, you're on a long ting

No need lying about what happens at Man City to equalise matters

We all know how Chelsea's transfers are done and no lies. Don't let the love for Fraudiola, turn you to a fraud too.
