Not surprised. Now you know the caliber of people that are influencing the Nigeria populace and can understand how Nigeria got to be where it currently is. People that are into occult traditional worship have a playbook: - knowingly cause untold hardship by strategically putting their people in positions of power. - sell their religion as a solution to the hardship. In Nigeria because of the hardship, people are reverting back to traditional religion and do not even hide the sacrifices they offer at T-junctions and cross roads. |

Adakintroy:You guys are so local and unexposed. If you know the rate at which Orisa is being adopted across the world. You will marvelled. From Cuba, to Brazil to Trinidad and Tobago, to the USA. Do you know how many universities in the USA where ifa is being studied? I can tell you that in the next 20yrs, Islam and christianity will become minority religion, especially in the South West. |

SIRTee15:All African ancestry, including your great grandfather, was an aborisha. If you claim that aborisha is darkness and ritualistic, you are simply saying that your great grandfather is evil. It's only a baseborn that uses the left hand to describe his father's house. |

Omoawoke:Ifa agbe e o. God bless you for speaking the truth to the many misguided worshippers of other people's son and ancestors as their lord and saviour, yet, their modern day sons and daughters in the Middle east treat you with scorn and despise you simply for being a brown skinned human being. Go figure why the land is full of corruption, with deceitful, false so called 'men of god', daddy this Pastors, (Pastorpreneur pulpit pimps), and other charlatans that span the length and breath of the country, who feed and fleece their congregations with lies and all-whatnot, in the name of evangelism and such tripe in their own versions of their imported alien Abrahamic religion. |

Bwilliam:Why would they 'hide'? Isn't your shouting in church and saying that incantation you call speaking in tongues mors shameful than anything else? But I thought your god in the church gives you money! How comes he has abandoned you that you now go to Osun, Ogun and Obatala? Why do you now go to the traditional religion when you, Bwilliam, onea called them dead God? You mocked them by saying they have eyes but cannot see, have ears but cannot hear, but now that things have got bad for you, you are running to them. You should be ashamed of your holy |

Adakintroy:The way Ignorance undresses the unlearned in the public is embarrassing. Sometimes, it's better to remain silent and be assumed to be stewpeed than to speak and confirm it. Let me help your rusty brain. Do a little research about the historical development of Christianity in Europe and then come back to comment. Further investigate religious development in the Republic of Ireland. If you are not living inside a cafe, you will know that many churches in the UK known for vibrancy in those days have now become pubs. You need to understand that this forum is occupied by intelligent and highly cerebral individuals. Deliberately embarrassing yourself should not be an option. |

vanbonattel:Kamanu, the real god of thunder before amadioha used the media to claim that name. In the end, no spirit is independent or originated on it own. They are all extension of a supreme being. That is why non of these gods has claimed to be the supreme. |

bixton:/ Read more about the early Christian crusaders. Accepting christianity used to be a do or die affair. In other words, accept Christ as your personal saviour or be murdered. People are knights in the churches today without knowing what it means. Knights in the early christianity is equivalent to the Boko Haram of the Sahel desert today. Not only did they commit mass murder, they were very brutal in their approach. / |

Omoawoke:At the bolded... What is even funny to me is when people here in Nigeria always talk about how Israel is the land of the chosen people by God. They have the answer right there...the god you worship has a chosen people, you're not part of those people, yet you keep worshiping that God, even as you keep slipping deeper and deeper into poverty. This is why we're so backward in Africa...borrowed religion, borrowed language. When will Africans wake up. |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by Omoawoke(m): 9:15pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
kay29000:It is pure stupidity. Imagine how inferior this people are when they meet an Israeli face to face… they begin to admire the Israeli and see him as a God chosen person… that’s stupidity pro max. Even the Muslims too see an Arab as their Demi gods It’s pure stupidity to the core. May I never be this foolish in life |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by Bobbynobobby: 9:18pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
Omoawoke:Fool. I will address only the part where Africans are mentioned in the Bible (devoid of rascism). Nimrod (proud of this fellow), had skin darker than mine, is known as the first man to use the cheetah in hunting (first to domesticate wild animals), he is the pioneer of living in groups (you living in a city now is a black man's vision). The tower of babel was Nimrod's idea. You want to reject the 'white man's religion' because of ancestors, but you won't put away the phone in your hand to subscribe to messenger pigeons, just like your ancestors? And you called your Creator useless? Lol! Bro you are unfortunate already. Never forget you brought it on yourself too |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by kay29000(m): 9:23pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
Omoawoke:It's really crazy. I remember trying to explain this to a friend like 10 years ago, and he saw me as evil. He gained enlightenment on his own when he traveled out of the country. When we saw a couple of months ago, when he came home briefly, we discussed this, and he was almost crying as to how blind he was back then, and the fact that hundreds of millions of Africans will live with this inferiority mindset all their life. It's really sad. |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by Omoawoke(m): 9:32pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
Bobbynobobby:Your lineage are the ones that are unfortunate. You are a big shame to your education, your ancestry and a shame to own a human brain. Next time, borrow the brain of turkey. Nimrod doesn’t sound like Obatunde, or Chukwudi not to talk of him being my ancestor If at your age and level of civilization, you still believe in Tower of Babel and Noah’s ark, then you don’t deserve a 21st century existence. Please go back to the Stone Age you jumped from. Even a 10 years old kid in China will be dumbfounded to believe a living human in 21st century still hold on to myths that the world has abandoned. I believe you are a local champion that has not had the privilege of seeing the outside world to know people have long abandoned all this shittt you talk about. I really feel so sorry for you! Hear it today, Noah’s ark, Tower of Babel and all those Bible stories are all ancient myths that doesn’t resonate in 2024. Even a simple google search will tell you they are pure myths and never happened. Grow up please! And please don’t quote me again, you stink! You irritate me! If a white man captures you, you deserved to be reared like an animal and thrown into cage for entertainment |

Nobody should condemn him if think you are Almighty God 's elect prove to him something he has not seen in his life before,God demonstrated something to Nebucchadnazer through the three hebrews,also to another king through daniel so if you are called but not chosen stay clear of a complex matter as this,stop name calling,is only God that will judge everybody not trial and error christianity or tithes and offertory brigandage.Show workings Q.E.D. |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by Bobbynobobby: 9:53pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
Omoawoke:Fool (the very word the savior used to describe many around Him because they were blind to the fact they were with 'God in human form)! I did not read anything you wrote. All manner of sin and transgression would be forgiven except sins against the holy spirit. You used your own mouth to condemn yourself in a public forum. You will bear the consequences |
| Re: Why I Prefer Orisa Worship To Christianity, Islam — Wole Soyinka by buragidi(m): 9:55pm On Oct 10, 2024 |
Bobbynobobby:Illetrate. Scientific enquiry has shown that Nimrod never existed. Its an Imaginary fiction |

Bobbynobobby:I’ve told you filthy dirty thing not to quote me again. I’m not responsible for your misfortune. And don’t forget, your lineage are unfortunate and you will bear miserable severe consequences of your fooolishness |

buragidi:Look at what pride has done to you. Showing your ass everywhere intellectually. What are you going on about? What research do I need when am already in Nigeria Living the socio/religious reality. So let's start with basic since charity begins at home. 36 state and your orisa is barely visible except in youruba land in which the biggest sayers are obvious Christian( oyedepo kumuyi, adeferasi, adeboye e.t.c). That we remember orisa is because oga wole mentioned it it today. The other half of the Yoruba divide are muslim So why dont you leave u.k and contend with what is before you..Mr. researcher..the sample size of your people is enough for broad range generalization here in out. If your can't dominate your locality which is your stronghold, what are you talking about about u.k and the rest of the world for? It either you are over thinking this or under thinking it in relations to christianity and Islam either way you are not thinking well. . It may be a large good religion but compared to Islam or Christianity, it's a dwarf. Even if churches are becoming pubs. Does it mean orisa is replacing them? We're is your reason in line with our obvious comparison? before you fall off cliff. Here is our context again. Islam and Christianity was spread mostly with faith(apostles) and sword (crusader). Let's say you have faith, where is your sword. Or you think you going round the world enlightened people and they will go "now I see the light". When I know you no be naive person. |
