Ifa religious worshippers under the aegis of Ancient Religion Societies of African Descendants International Council have said they are ready to assist Nigeria to combat the Boko Haram insurgents ravaging some states in the North-East.

The Chairman, Executive Working Committee of ARSADIC, Dr. Olalekan Ifagbenuola, said this on Friday at a press conference held at Ile Oduduwa, Ile Ife, to seek government recognition for the group.

Ifagbenuola stated that corruption among public office holders was the reason for the increasing rate of crimes in the country, saying this would stop if public office holders were made to take the oath of office in traditional religious ways.

He said, “If proper oath of allegiance is taken genuinely, our leaders would not misbehave when they get to power. If the oath is taken in a traditional religious way, they will not misbehave. There must be fear of God in anything we do.

“Corrupt leaders in offices promote crimes and if our leaders are honest, the level of crime in the country will greatly reduce. We are ready to assist to tackle insurgency, if we are invited by the government.”

He said that the problems confronting the nation should be tackle with seriousness because there could be no meaningful development in an atmosphere devoid of peace.

According to him, the umbrella body of the traditional religion worshippers was formerly known as Ancient Religion Societies of African Descendants Association and was registered under companies ordinance in 1957.

He, however, stated that there had been a proliferation of traditional religion associations in Nigeria and all over the world but said the traditional worshippers had resolved to one formidable association.

Ifagbenuola described religion as an important instrument for development in any nation, saying successful nations, including China and South Africa, had given recognition to all notable religions.

“We call on the Federal Government of Nigeria in this era of change to follow suit and give due recognition to the ancient religions. We must quickly state that Nigeria is a complex nation of diverse group of people and culture; therefore, there would be more than one ancient religion in existence,” he added.

These Yoruba clowns are utterly confused. So you want to fight against a RPG wielding Boko militant with your charm and dane guns

Why dont these befuddled old men address the security challenges in the west? Kidnappers and armed robbers are running amok all over your region. Your waterways are now becoming unsafe due to the activties of Oil bunkers in the Ikorodu and Arepo creeks of Lagos and Ogun state respectively.

Mr folykaze, the NA/MNJTF will deal with BH in the fullnest of time. Tell your ifa whatever to go and *** . I am sure they'l pee in their pant if they hear the gun shot of an AK47 Rifle, fired at close range, talk more of an Anti Aircraft Artillery

You are a Yoruba and need not to denigrate your tradition. The same sacrifice have been employed in the past and many wars have been won.

At the moment, we need everything possible to bring down Boko Haram. This is not problem of the North alone but all Nigerians. The Ifa worshippers are bringing their own quota. . . .pls do yours and lets see

Those bastards can even eat the sacrifice. In warfare, such thing can't work.

Rossikk:

It's not like your imported christian prayers have exactly worked. I guess you should shut your trap. Colonised clown.

FOLYKAZE:


Shattap.

The Vigilante fought the Boko Haam with their RPG and APC. Yet they made more success than the Soldiers who are funded with billions and are killed like chiken on daily basis.

The Vigilante dont have high caliber weapons. They only have dane gun, swords and their charm. Yet they performed more than your so called Soldiers who have Planes and Sophisticated gun.

Boko Haram is not all about gun and bomb. We need to takcle every facet of it

Rossikk:


You wouldn't say this if a group of pastors had declared a 'fight' on boko haram using their christian prayers, even though that doesn't 'work' any more than traditional sacrifice. Why the double standards? God knows how many millions of you have called on 'Jesus' since boko haram started their work, yet, they continue their activities with reckless abandon and impunity. Should we then call you a 'bastard' since your prayers are ignored by your imported god?
