you know wot im saying. Don't promote shady investments like HYIP, MLM on Nairaland.
I don’t know what you are saying

There’s no place where isese has to do with shedding blood.

Don’t mistaken isese for ritualists pls. If you say ritualistic killers, that we have heard of. But there’s no place where isese has to do with shedding anyone’s blood

How about kwara, why didn’t they declare? They should have joined the Omualabi crew 😂 😂
Kwara are the less developed in Yoruba states for aligning themselves with the North.
Almajeris also has a place in Kwara state and will remain isolated until they wake up from their slumber !

Nice one by the Government of Lagos. All citizens must be free to practise and associate with any religion of their choice in as much as it doesn't harm their fellow citizens.

I am a Christian by the way, so don't quote me with disrespectful remarks. Present your argument if it's superior to mine without insults.

This is commendable! Every nation must acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate their traditional local language and festivals.

Lagos is trying to align with other YORUBA STATES to confirm to the Developers that they remain an ODUDUWA State and not No Man's Land.

That picture is not appropriate and doesn't match the report at all. It even comes across as a mockery of Isese Devotees.

Please use an appropriate picture. Let's respect the religions of others.
this is beautiful.. i wish we can all raise our cultural awareness while maintaining our diversity instead of all these tribal hatred everywhere...our real enemies are the foreign religion and ideology...our strength used to be in our diversity before politics divided us all..hopefully the igbos, ijaw, hausa will emulate us and riase their culture up too..

these thing go dey pain religious bigot en..bigot like the muric guy, yoruba alfas and pastors

There is no light in your tradition, they only breed ritualist and skull miners and all kinds of atrocities. Bro darkness has engulf the land because of these men invoking wicked powers. Only those who serve satan and are lost in sin will rejoice over this witchcraft enthroned in Yoruba land.
TempleHouse:
Traditionalist is gradually coming back to where they belongs !
Foreign religion had beclouded Nigeria native sense of responsibility and progress.
The amount spent on Religious trips to Mecca and Jerusalem is enough to build an infrastructure lasting decades.
It is high time to worship our deity just like the Japanese and South Korea.

It is a Public Holiday for African Traditional Religion called Isese in Yoruba language.

Isese has gained more ground in the last few years. What are they actually doing right recently
Many of their children are now well educated. I know an Associate Professor in Medicine who is also a practicing Babalawo. Some are now lawyers ,Judges ,Police officers etc.

Age of enlightenment; Many youths are now questioning the assumed superiority of imported religions over Traditional Religion.

Omoawoke:
A good one

The truth remains that Africa is gone and gone.

In 2025, even the Yorubas don’t even know what Isese means… to them, it is evil and Jesus Mohammed is their lord and savior.
Talk of a lost race!
Chai

But it’s pathetic that with all the resources available to do simple research, or just use a little particle of atom of brain left in their head, they can’t… how will a people worship something that was used to enslave and colonize you… worst of all, the colonizers no longer follow this path.
If you have white friends, or white colleagues… you will realize they don’t even carry Jesus. They rarely or don’t even go to church. They don’t even have Bible

But a full grown adult in Nigeria will be singing and be saying the god of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac they will serve. What of the God of your ancestors?
God of people that don’t bear your names

Lastly, why Africans no to get sense like that… especially this generation of pastor jerrry followers and co… the word “Ancestor” automatically means evil to them.. like just tell them, your ancestors be blessed, they will say God forbid, wetin be ancestors!!! Like for real man!! These people are krazzzzy… and they want to have children and great grandchildren… and descendants, not knowing that they are the ancestors of their own future descendants…

And lastly for the last time

See the Queen Elizabeth whey bring Christianity come meet you, watch a video of Queen Elizabeth undergoing her ancestral initiation… same people whey carry missionaries give you oo, they are practicing their own. Even when she died, they did their traditional rites for the queen….

See below

Did your ancestors use phones, internet? Why are you using it? Look at the way you are hyperventing for what you are guilty of? Did your ancestors speak English? Did they write in English? Practice what you preach hypocrite.
