Kobojunkie:
What is the identity of this "God" then? That is the question I had asked the other.

All cultures have names for the supreme deity. Olodumare, Ubangiji, Allah, Chukwuabiama, Jehovah and etc. They are all referring to the same entity which is the Father God not five thousand different ones

What you described is impossible given all of the various deities all have different attributes ascribed to them in all of those cultures you describe.

For instance, Jehovah claims He is God only to Israelites, so He cannot be God also to Nigerians since He made clear His only inheritance in the land of men are those born of the blood of Jacob. Is Jehovah a bloody liar?🤔
The Yorubas will tell you that their gods are not gods to other people so, I think you should try to closely reassess these ideas you hold to realize how thoroughly flawed they truly are in the face of logic.

There are beings in heaven and God is their head. They have their own civilization. I think all cultures agree on that but some, starting with Jews believe only the supreme God should be worshipped and you should not say even hello to angels. The Yoruba have orisas who are just outstanding humans. After their death, their spirits are worshipped. God is not sacrificed to at all because no one knows its favorite food and the belief is that God is too distant. It will be like a pupil going over the head of the class teacher to report to the President

1. Wrong! Not all cultures believe what you claim.

2. The deities of the Yorubas are worshipped by the Yorubas alone. The same pretty much applies as far as other ethnic groups in Nigeria. So when a Nigerian uses the word "God", the sensible thing is to inquire as far as the identity of said deity.

Consequence of a failed economy?

The deities of the Yoruba are Yoruba ancestors added to some natural things which we believe have resident spirits. Everything have resident spirits. Other people have their own ancestors. There is no culture without its own Ogun, Oya, Osun and etc that manifested in those ways when alive. People generally revere (worship?) the spirits of their ancestors world wide. There is no reason to leave your own ancestors and be propitiating other people's but religious people don't know this.
When an Ur hobo person say Osanobua, I know it is Olodumare they speak of

1. It doesn't matter what they are or were so long as they are the deities worshipped by the Yorubas.

What I am trying to say is that spirits outnumber humans and the supreme God is just one of them no matter the name you call it

I don't subscribe to that crock of bull abeg! I am only interested in examining the facts really known of these deities that people subscribe to as revealed in their holy texts or passed down traditions.

Did any holy book or tradition say humans outnumber spirits?. In the olden days, a Yoruba city will.have more deities than human beings because each person will have a tutelary deity.

There is no holy book or tradition that even compares the count of one group to the other from my personal research, so I am not sure why you think the claim should mean anything or matter as far as the question I asked.

Be on the lookout for my upcoming book. There are over sixty billion spirits against over eight billion human beings

I will pass. I don't deal in the ignorant musings of the minds of men who don't even understand how their claims contradict that which has been passed down by those from before.

Kobojunkie:
Based on?

By doing what he has done.

But if they ask you for the answer, you'll provide none.

By the grace of God, I have been able to prevent a few suicides, abortions and even murders in my own little capacity, simply by directing those in distress towards the answers. Sometimes those who help the most have no need for cameras.
