Traditional worshipers in lagos have been asking for same which i'm praying they don't get. If we have less traditional worshipers the killing of human for rituals which is now the order of the day will reduce. Giving them holiday will end up increasing their number.

Bro be sincere with yourself, since these ritualist av been getting exposed, av u seen any name like Fakunle, Osuntokun, Oyawale among dem? Wat u see is pastors, alfas n d likes.

But that does not change the fact that sheeding of blood(man or animal) is a recognised aspect of traditional religion, so alfas and pastors doing same must have learnt it from them,and they too are traditional worshipers who are just using christianity or islamic religion as cover up

Nice development from the governor

We should preserve our history

We may not be interested in traditional religion but we must keep and promote the culture behind the religion.

We celebrate western religion like Islam and Christianity not knowing those religion has a culture underneath


Coming with my camera to the festival to document our old and ancient culture.

All the blood that had been and are still being shed by the religious crises between christians and muslims can never be compared with the sporadic blood shed by the traditionalists

Bro you are getting it wrong

Go to countries that have Islam and Christianity they have kill more humans.

There are always bad people everywhere

That does not mean we should kill our ancient tradition note it also comes with culture

Saudi Arabia and Israel is making more money from the culture behind islam and Christianity.
