Yoruba slaves carried their culture to the west indies during slave trade....This is the effect...

They weren't slave, they were enslaved. Getting history right is very important. Happy to see the yoruba culture thriving round the world.

This is one of the very few times I feel so proud to a Nigerian

The battle is for your soul.

God has already defeated this fallen angels by casting them down to the earth from heaven and they are already signed to perdition eternally... The sorry situation is that they want to take as many as God's most loving creatures with them too, and that's why they parade themselves as gods.

Unfortunate situation is that many of God's most loving creation follow and worship them blinding.. but see the end of all rebellious creatures.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Some of you just lack proper reasoning , because a tribe wrote it in their book that their god is the supreme and you blindly believe them because the wrote it in their book..Africans are the most foolish race , a slave will forever be slave

Nigerian, more specifically Yoruba slaves to the world, would be the most appropriate thing to say.

Do you think that city boy chose Tinubu deliberately instead of Mogaji, the name of the supposed mother in his ori olórí Ayédèrú existence

anonimi:
The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.

On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.

— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'

Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".

They were enslaved first by their own Yoruba kindreds, who SOLD them off to Arabs and Europeans in exchange for alcohol, tobacco, mirrors, fabrics etc.

Sold off in slave markets like Badagry.

Did we not insist on continuing the criminal trade after the whites changed their minds and abolished slavery

You're right but not totally. Some were slave who are sold to the Portuguese by their masters then, but not all. Intra communal clashes also play a major factor in born free been sold as slaves then.

If they entered the Americas as slaves they would have lost their identity and culture in one generation

Was it Arabs and Europeans that organised intra communal clashes here in order to raid slaves for sale

What is partially incorrect about what I said?

Guy, abeg rest. Argue with your phone if argument sweet u. You're wrong and that's it and if u don't want to accept that then ease off and stop this distortion of history.

Xanderone:
If the Oyinbos can give Africans "white biblical patriachs", we too should give them black patriachs to worship.

Eveb though we know the the biblical patriachs were not white but the caucasians made a PsyOp propaganda that they're white in other to make black people worship the whites as superior.

Wrong Agenda

The white accepted and spread the gospel faster than the caucasians cos they have the resources to do so

Why try to convince non-believers with the Bible? Why would they accept a book they don’t believe in?

Lol…amadioha no represent

Pure Idolatry

But they can't even display this in Yoruba land of Ilorin and other places even Osun that is majority Muslims

Don't tell me you are not aware of the annual Osun-Oshogbo Festival recognized all over the world, including UNESCO.

Hypocrites

And Ilorin ...what about that place

Ya Allah, save me and my generations (born and unborn) from participating in or supporting idol worship.

Guide us to remain steadfast upon the path of our father, Ibrahim, who worshipped only his Creator.

Still baffles me how confident each religions are confident, that they are not the one supporting idols, mean while;

Traditional beliefs there’s only one God that could be reached through his blessed ones (orisa)
Jews claim only one God, and since he revealed himself to Moses, then no other Abrahamic religion prophets are worthy, and that he can be debated by the Rabbis.
Christians believe God came down to reveal his power to the people he created by coming as Jesus, and only through Jesus can HE be reached.
Islam, the last born of the Abraham religion, claims Jesus was only a prophet like him and the other prophets that came before him.

Everyone, especially the Abraham’s religious looks at others like infidels and pagans even within their cycle (Jews see Christians as human worshippers, Christians sees Jews and Muslims as the lost ships that refused to see the light, and Muslims believe Christians worships multiple God)

Well that's good... We can't be worshiping oyibo God let the worship our own God also .

Nice one ...but why the insult ? I think say Yoruba get respect

Very funny.

An African man is despising his African Gods and praying to a farway idol from Arabian lands.

Funny, sad and pathetic

Isn't it strange that you guys claim EACH LAND has a it's own separate god?

More strange and pathetic is the ideal of the traditional worshipper claiming there's a god of fertility, another god for prosperity, another for safety, etc.

If your brains and minds understand the concept of a god, then you will understand that there can ONLY be ONE GOD. One of a kind, in a class of His Own without a duplicate or contender. That's the concept of a God!

That's a lie your religion indoctrinated you with. Allah is nothing but a god of Arabs. He was one of the gods that pre-islamic Arabs worship before one Muhammad decide it's the only god and spread his lie through war and conquest.

There is no law or logic that says that one idol from Arabian lands is the only god. For instance, my ancestors worship Eledumare before Mohammad's grandfather was born. Don't tell me Allah and Eledumare is the same entity, because Eledumare didn't command anyone to fight Jihad and kill fellow humans to promote his own religion

lanre316:
A person's God is another person's demon.

FYA, your Jesus or Allah is a demon/idol in another person's religion.

Bottom line, live and let live as a human being and let these spirit beings, Gods, demons, angels etc to fight themselves, if they want to.

It's very foolish for humans to fight for and defend these beings.

Muslims seem to have a problem understanding this
How can you go burn down someone's shrine
And those people have many alfas and babalawos

If Muslims believe Christians worship multiple God's, it's the fault of the Muslims for misunderstanding or misquoting Christians.

Christians believe there's only One God and His name is Yahweh/Jehovah.

Being a Spirit being, for Him to come to Earth, He needed to be in the form of flesh. The flesh is like a space suit

So, when He needed to come to Earth to redeem what was lost, and to also experience what humans go through in the flesh, (because being a just God, He's going to judge us fairly based on how we responded to His instructions in our human condition), the human body or flesh that He came through is called Jesus.

Jesus while on earth, clearly said "I and the Father are one" = same person. There are many instances in the Bible. This is what made the Jews angry. They couldn't believe that their so much cherished God can ever descend low to come as a common, poor carpenter.

The story is long, but don't get it mixed up, we know Whom we worship and believe in: One True Holy God.

Get away satan

why are you pained that your culture is not recognised anywhere outside your 5plot region? Yorubas outside the shores of Nigeria are proudly associating with their culture and heritage and here you are hating you could have just avoided the thread but your busy body and inferiority complex won’t allow you, you even had to claim up Lagos Yorubaland as your Monika

Some of you just lack proper reasoning , because a tribe wrote it in their book that their god is the supreme and you blindly believe them because the wrote it in their book..Africans are the most foolish race , a slave will forever be slave

So, you are liberated with this your bitter, half brained thinking? You even went as far as calling a whole continent slaves because someone didn't agree with you.

If you have a right to believe in a retrogressive, half brain theory of Africans worshipping multiple gods (god of fertility , god of the sea, god of the land, bla, bla, bla), then you have no right to call another person a fool for his/her belief

At least, their God has enough audacity to write it in a book called the Bible, their God has enough audacity to call Himself the only True God, and He clearly declare that there's no other like Him

Has your African traditional god ever came out to give us his/her abi na "their" manifestos because them plenty well well. What q low budget idea of a god that the traditional worshipper has

See, if they are more than one, they have already lost the quality or criteria for being a God!

What every traditional worshipper worships are evil spirits. I know they are evil spirits because their requirements are evil and all their works and activities are done under the cover of darkness because they are very afraid and ashamed of their activities coming out to light.

That is why they don't have a written book that the average man can access and examine freely any day or time like the Bible. Your counterparts have their own written in a foreign language.

I can go on and on. But I will give any sensible person the time to digest this.
