Nice one. At least he was honest and made public his decision, unlike some well known pastors of today who are lowkey babalawo.

The truth is if you are looking for the following:

1. quick miracles
2. financial prosperity
3. fire from heaven to burn all your enemies
4. sucess in all of your endeavours

Then please Kindly look for a babalawo to introduce you to a local deity to serve and worship because Christianity will never give you that.

The Bible makes it very clear that the life of a Christian is full of hardships, trials, and sacrifices. Jesus Himself told His followers that living for Him would not be an easy path.



Christian life is not for ''everybody'', that is why jesus said For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
I don't know any sane person who would choose hardship, trials and tribulations over success and financial prosperity in the name of a foreign religion, despite the fact that life is full of ups and downs anyway. A babalawo is not a miracle worker, yes they can make appeasement to the Orishas on your behalf to remove negative energies and make positive energies attract you but any babalawo that makes you rich overnight or promises quick miracle is not a real Babalawo.

Yes you quoted Jesus correctly but it is also a lack of knowledge to think that as babalawo you cannot believe in the salvation of God found in Jesus.

Being babalawo or a muslim does not stop you from believing in Jesus while you "practice" your awo or salat as a matter of fact believing Jesus makes your practice potent and grounded. Believing in Jesus is not a religion to practice but a faith to have but most Christians are practicing half baked Judaism thinking they are "Christians" or following Jesus whereas Jesus was not a religious practitioner but a man of faith in God.

You are very correct. Jesus said the narrow path is difficult and only few finds it.
Pity that many who are not anywhere close to finding the "path" choose to keep faking it.

How many are called, never mind being chosen?

Anybody can rent a 2 x 2 shop and call himself a bishop or Daddy G.O.

And So What ?
Opinion and Freedom -is within the context of our Constitution in Nigeria!
While Decision Making is an integral part of the Economic Studies !
•However,he should Stop his FALLACIES that the Scripture / Bible is False,when he is the one being Deceived and being Manipulated!
For All those written about in the Bible cannot be Wrong:
-For example - has anyone said that the Israel never crossed the Red- Sea ⛵?
So,in his orientation,Jesus Christ was also not true,abi ⁉️ 🥳.
He should stay in his lane o!

Straight fact. Jesus himself practiced Judaism till his death. It was his 'disciples' that deitified him. They viewed and worshipped him as divine thus identified him with God. Wetin concern an African man with Jewish religion/culture. We've truly missed our ways.

Good luck to him.

At least he can sleep well knowing that no single CHRISTIAN is planning to CUT OFF his head in hope of a reward by Allah

To Abel Damina, pls does this one have eternal salvation? If he dies in this, will he make heaven? God can still redeem him though.

DoWhatThouWilt:
Those lowkey babalawo pastors you talked about rarely read scriptures where jesus made it clear that the life of a christian na so so suffer and wahala.

They pick old testament scriptures to tickle the ears of their members of how God will make their life as sweet as honey and flowing with milk with continuous manna blessing from heaven.

Even if a pastor decides to tell his members the truth that Christians are going to suffer in this world, nobody will attend that church.

What most Christians (Most especially those from I beta pass my neighbour country) want is a church that looks like hogwarts school of magic.....With harry potter and dumbledore as their pastor. grin
Which one be "I better pass my neighbour country"?

Wherever you got your suffering jesus from ...it better you keep it away from sensible people....because the jesus christ the son of God is not poor......
No poor man has a Accountant like Judas who is a thief and the Account never enter Red
So Christianity is not equal to poverty and suffering.....its just that we can not chase after money like non Christian
