Stop lying about the Bible; bible doesn't forbid a Christian from marrying a Muslim, pegan, traditionalist or anyone. The bible only requires that you try to lead them to Christ.

Who are you to judge whether anyone is pure Muslims or Christian? Are you pure yourself? It is the perverted ones like you that see themselves as superior to others.

Don't Igbo Christians go to traditionalists? Don't you igbos do juju as well, don't igbos see Idemmili, amadioha, Anyanwu, Ala and other deities? Everytribe, be you Muslim or Christian, still engage traditionalists.

Don't igbos Christians consult Alfas? If you have not seen it, then keep quiet and stop spewing what you know little about?

The Hausa Muslims who claim to be better practitioners than Yoruba Muslim are confused because it is only God that can judge who is truly following and worshipping him.

Even you that you are talking, you visit traditionalists along with your family and ancestors so what are you saying? Is there no shrine in your ancestral land; your village?

You are trying to deceive us here!

What I said that Yoruba are hybrid and they are not pure Muslims that's why you can't see Yoruba and Hausa pray together in a mosque here in Lagos or Yoruba lead Hausa in prayers ...they see them as not pure Muslims and I have seen it well

Even their Christian..visit babalawo and fetish ...things


That's the fact

I know many of their pastors that do juju ! It's only in yoruba land that a Muslim will marry a Christian .
Which is travesty and madness

Even in Bible it is a sin...Bible said don't be unequally yoked with non believers

Armaggedon:
having multiplicity of religions is not liberalism but tolerating other people with different religious, cultural and economic beliefs. Western civilization invented the word liberalism but their value system is based on Christianity. In fact, you must assimilate "western values" to be accepted.

Yorubas being tolerant is what we often hear but all available data say otherwise. For instance an Igbo gathering will switch to English language just to accommodate few non Igbo speakers but Yorubas will speak their language to the confusion of a considerable number of non Yoruba speakers present. Yet they are the first to feel offended on hearing your own language. This fact is well known and it's the simplest example of intolerance.
You started with objectivity but then dived into the usual sentimental and ridiculous orientation of tribalists.

In several gatherings, especially in environments where you have a lot of igbo people. Your people speak igbo and other tribes don't get worried and don't bother you understand what you are speaking in your dialects.

Why are you so concerned when you encounter Yorubas communicating in the Yoruba language? Do you think they are conspiring against you; if so, why?

This shows how dirty and perverted your mind can be?

Must you understand what they are saying? If you must, please learn Yoruba language - simple.

Armaggedon:
unfounded assertions. You're at best consoling yourself. I get the op's point. Igbos can simply be described as Judeo-Christian and Hausa Fulani can be described as Islamic-sahelian. What can Yorubas be described as?

It simply means that Yorubas have no dominant value system. They have major competing value systems which is a time bomb. Value system is like a compass to every civilization and also provide social stability. If you don't have a dominant one, it means the society lack ideology and it'll be difficult for the society to reach a consensus and take decisions on crucial issues. This is why the Yoruba as a collective have no known aspirations unlike the Igbos and Hausa Fulani.Hence, their survival depends on the continued unity of Nigeria because Nigeria act as a stabilizing force for them. This is why they act as spoiler to other people's aspirations that threaten their survival. This was why western Nigeria had heavy precolonial social tension and it's also why they didn't resist colonialism unlike Igbos and Hausa Fulani. They needed a stabilizing force to fill the void that a lack of value system created.
You don't even understand what value system is all about.
When put side by side with others,everybody knows that Yoruba value system is topnotch and it is this that has helped them to build one of the most stable and progressive societies in the world.God has tremendously helped the Yoruba to manage their differences
We have extremism in the other regions because they have very weak value systems and negatively rigid, obsoletely devilish beliefs.
With the Yorubas,application of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding is highly valued, with elders often seen as having more experience.
Yoruba are not perfect but a person of integrity,who is trustworthy and has strong moral principles is highly valued.
Character is paramount, and integrity is considered more valuable than wealth.
There is a deep-seated respect for elders, authority, and tradition.
Diligence, effort, and self-reliance are highly prized.
Strong emphasis is placed on family unity and collective responsibility within the community.
Courage,bravery and valor are considered important virtues while honesty, truthfulness, reliability, and diplomacy are key aspects of the Yoruba system. 
They put diplomacy first before things go awry even as they are warriors who built an Empire that extended far and wide and lasted more than 500 years.

You can't force the Yorubas to think, behave and operate the way you Igbos do.

We have different cultures, backgrounds and orientation.

You don't have to love, appreciate or fancy the Yorubas but mind your life, tribe and culture while you leave Yorubas to live their lives too.

Everyone can exists without disturbing or hating or compelling the other to imbibe your ways.

Yorubas and Igbos are very different culturally and in orientation. You can't change that.

Yorubas don't see you and your aspirations. We have no time or concern for you Igbos. Your life doesn't bother us or affect us negatively. Just be civil in the society, if you want to be on your own, please be on your own and stop disturbing everyone or dragging Yorubas into your aspirations and hateful motives.

Re: The SW Is A Hybrid With Serious Ramifications by lawani(m):
Religion is a set back for humanity. The next best thing to not adopting religion is to adopt two opposing religions in equal proportions for them to cancel out.
I would have preferred the Yoruba not to adopt religion like the Japanese and Chinese who stayed in their traditional paths but fate ensured the Yoruba adopted the two religions in equal proportion as cure for each other.
To be hybrid is better than sleeping with all your heads in one direction

What is "pure Muslims"? This is what I thoroughly dislike about you people that, incidentally, gets you in trouble wherever you go.

I.e your total disregard for boundaries. Are you Muslim to know who a "pure" or "impure" Muslim is? How dare you, an intolerant Christian, say Yorubas Muslims, part of the Yoruba ethnic group touted probably the most religiously tolerant in the world, are not "pure Muslims" because they are not slicing throats while shouting jihadist slogans?

Is pure Islam only about fundamentalism or is it that the world, if full of progressive people, should learn from and adopt the way Yorubas practice Christianity and Islam?

Just to shade Yorubas you begin speaking like Gumi, Shekau and all Northern fundamentalists who will tell you Yoruba Muslims are "Kaffirs" simply because Yoruba Muslims don't subscribe to the murderous extremism of Islam some Northerners propose.

Isn't it ironic that the most fundamentally radical and intolerant Nigerians (Igbos and Fulanis) are the ones responsible for the designation of Nigeria today as one of the most terrorised nation of the world?

Yet you both constantly attempt to gaslight Yorubas daily while demanding power through failures like Atiku and Obi.

Whereas the sad reality is that you and the murderous mullahs are irresponsible disgraces who cannot 'clean up' at regional level and should actually be thanking the moderation, progressive mien and sophistication of Yorubas that you both gaslight when the world, not full of stupid people alone, know the people and region troubling Nigeria and threatening to cause her anarchic end. What a joke.

For the absence of doubt, the valuable Nigerians today, factually, are the people of the SS, SW, and NC region.
The SE, NE and NW are dangerous to our nation and net deficit regions of Nigeria needing to urgently 'fix up' and stop taking the rest of us, doing the right things, for granted.

Indeed. The guys is just repellent. Imagine trying to say a guy who does not beat or force himself on women is not a "pure man"?

What could be more dark and malevolently evil than claiming Yoruba Muslims are not "pure Muslims" because they are not murderously extremist like Boko Haram, ISWAP etal?

Some of the people we discuss with here are very troubled mentally. It is something Nigerians should worry about because such is the reason we have so much going against our nation today.

so liberalism to u Ibo is madness?

No wonder your region is scattered n u can't live there.

Even in saner climes, the rule is live n let live.

Nobody will force anyone to think like him or b like him, that is the reason nnamdi kanu is serving life imprisonment now n many of u can't even find peace in your region.

So because I am a Christian I can't marry a Muslim right?

Are they not humans like u?

Did u chose your religion when u were born?

People like u are too shallow


If u were probably born in Saudi Arabia, u would have been a Muslim

If u were born in Christian countries u will definitely be a Christian.

So y fight over what u didn't chose?

U people are just extremely shallow

Bro who else talk as some Nairalanders do if not lunatics? Imagine saying intolerant and extremist Christians/Muslims are the "pure" practitioners of both faith and not those, Yoruba Christians and Muslims, who are moderate and believe are adherents of different religions should be tolerant and get along.

A lot of Nigerians have sick and twisted minds, perhaps because of how warped our nation is, yet they don't appreciate that about themselves.

Bro, ask yourself if a sane or balanced person, who belongs in sane society, should post what is shown below. Especially the bolded.

He claims Hausa don't take our Muslims serious and Igbos have no regard for our Christians. As if that is not an indictment of how radically and mentally unhealthy they both are rather than a negative against Yorubas. A dubious people who always proclaim right as wrong and insist wrong is right.

The truth is that Yorubas have the parlance of live and let live.
They have the most vibrant Christians and Muslims with the belief that your belief does not affect mine or stop me from attaining paradise and vice versa.
They have learnt to live together amicably through the Grace of God.

The problem of Nigeria are Hausa Fulani and Igbos who are extremists.There are a lot of Muslims in Edo but they don't discriminate.
In the whole of southern nigeria, it is only Yoruba that have been found as members of terror groups (boko haram) and attempting to commit acts of terror in the UK. They are also demolishing homes in LAgos on tribal lines. Even internally, Yoruba muslims in Kwara are currently abolishing several yoruba cultural institutions like Oba etc. I don't see the alleged live and let live you speak of and pretending it exists contributes to the issue. It is only the muslims in Edo that you're not seeing this behavior from.

Try and make sense now....does the fact that the Vatican doesn't see a black person fit for being pope makes an Igbo catholic less Christianhuh?

Allah tells us in Quran 49:13 "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted"


Allah doesnt recognize tribal superiority but piety and righteousness as contained in that verse.
Even being an Arab doesn't confer superiority,infact quran emphasizes that the Arabs are the most extreme in term of disbelieve and disobedience
