Aregbesola never supported Isese and couldn’t have started the holiday if that’s what you’re referring. He was promoting Islam, if you remember the hijabs in schools he fought for. He only built a wood called Opa Oranyan so he would not be seen as a Yoruba hater. I don’t want to go into his origin so my post isn’t yanked, but everything Aregbesola is doing right now is expected cos water always finds its level at last. Though a part of me tells me that he can’t be this ungrateful for all Yoruba have done for him. A possible mole actor?

Is this what Aregbesola started in Osun after eight years as Lagos commissioner

Stop being Clever by half...

You Deliberately select just one sect in Christianity and tar all Christians with their brush.

Disingenuous.

In case you don't know,this perception of "idolatry" in Catholic church is why the majority of Christians cut ties with the Church. The truth is bitter.

Just know that Christianity comprises of Billions of People who're not Catholics!!

He is 100 percent correct. All Christian denomination came out of the Roman Catholic church.

parkervero:
Can you substantiate your claim by explaining in detail how how it is an Idol worship religion?

1. Use of statues and images
2. Veneration of saints and Mary
3. Rituals and practices that seem to prioritize physical objects
4. Use of rosaries and other prayer beads

A good one. Live and let live.

Most of us were born into the religions we cling so desperately to, as if we had a choice in the matter.

Sanwo olu is a Christian I think , why participating in things that are against the teachings of the bible

Bible has its own from the owners, isese is not copied from foreign, it's our own heritage in which every born Yoruba must be respected. This is good move on the part of the governors. Long live Yoruba. Oduduwa a gbewa o

Aregbesola started it and deserves all credit for the latter converts.

So when Islamic holiday were declared and observed under Goodluck Johnathan administration, did you accuse Johnathan of participating in things that are against the teaching of the Bible?

Thobby02lawbar:
Nice one... Equality for all religions. I would love to see how it goes though. Would it be colourful like xmas? Or meatfull like Sallah?

Be like say dem never start to dey observe trado holidays for all states. Yet they're entitled to their own public holidays too like other two major religions. They're entitled to ask for their right.

It seems like this governor wants to dare his brothers in kwara state.....

You are a mischief maker

How does this affect the productivity of the underpaid and inadequate civil servants who are unable to get every child into free schools and make water available to every household?

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

Because Christmas and Sallah get every children into school and provides water for everyone .

Why did you read the comment as supporting Abrahamic festivals over traditional festivals

The new yam festival and masquerade event you celebrate in the East is what?

Good point ,now will you also say that Abrahamic festivals also don't provide schools ,good roads and several other social amenities and all festivals should not be given priorities?

Slytiger:
Christianity too is idol worshipping. Now you know.

Those are not christians, but confused church goers who don't read their bibles.

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

Of what importance is isese day.

Stop engaging in Vain arguements for the sake of it.

Thank God you know that All Christian denomination came out from Catholic.

Do you know why they came out??

Because they want to dissociate themselves from doctrines and practices that they define as Idolatry.

See?

Do Pentecostal churches or Lutherans and other Protestant churches Worship or Venerate the status of Mary?

Assuming you're wise enough to reflect,think before commenting,this your comments wouldnt have been necessary.

See?

DmonSlayer10:
You're one them who try to make Nairaland appear like a toxic place.

When has "Ndị Lagos is a no Man's Land" ever Complain or Protest any Yoruba cultural activities anywhere in Lagos or the entire Southwest.

In all the Oro or Eyo cultural festivals over the years in Lagos,have you ever seen or heard that the non-Yorubas ever interfered or complained?

Stop making these spaces toxic

He wasn't talking about non Yorubas. He was talking about ndi Ragos is no man's rand.

Honestly speaking without religions, the world would have been a better place. I used to be a mainstream Christian but after the great eternal spirit opened my eyes, I am finding my way back to traditional religion. Iseeee
