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 huh

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.

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.

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 .

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?

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?

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.
