Strange we Christians have been asked similar: why couldn’t God have simply forgiven the sins of the world without the crucifixion of Lord Jesus. What would be your answer?
Simple;
GOD sent his son to preach the word, the envious church leaders killed him and said; that was the prophecy?
The commandment clearly states "THou shall not kill"
So why do Christians justify such things?

So they've always been this fetish?

Anyways, they buried her alive in vain because the survival of Igalaland is ever threatened by Fulani herdsmen; from Aku to Ankpa...their ravage is felt.
And Princess Inikpi looks away as her kingdom is upturned.

Maybe they should do the same to the Attah of Igala who is worse than a rubberstamp figurehead.

Lol... Leave it to Nairaland's humorist to cynically rewrite a tribe's history. grin

Thank God for Christianity... if not eh......

Why couldn't the bloodsucking deity nd it's stupid priests that asked for the sacrifice, perform the magic without sacrificing a human?

How can I even unread this biko?
Research on Christianity my dear friend, no religion that doesn't shed blood in those days. What stop bloodshed is civilization not Christianity.
Do you know how many people were killed before the Holy Bible could be translated?
Do you know how many lives the crusader kills?

Princess Inikpi was a beautiful and intelligent young woman, whose selfless sacrifice saved her people from doom. She was the only daughter of her parents — the Atah Ayegba Oma Idoko and queen Omele.

The Igala Kingdom at about the 15th and 16th century was at loggerheads with the Bini Kingdom, one of their strongest enemies. The Bini warriors persistently attacked Igala land to the extent of wanting to annihilate the people. The Bini warriors employed different tactics, including poisoning the streams, sudden attacks in the day and night, and laying siege to their farmland. The Igala people then lived in constant fear, as they could not go to the farm or to the stream.

Owing to this, the chiefs consulted the oracle, which proclaimed that the only remedy to the safety of the kingdom and victory in war, was for the king to bury his most beloved daughter, Inikpi, alive. The king had four male children — Akogu, Agada, Eleme, Ohiemi Obogo — and Inikpi his only female child. He loved Inikpi so much, which was one of the reasons she was always in the palace with the father.
The king was distraught and for days could not eat or drink. He pleaded with the oracle to accept slaves, but it insisted it must be royal blood — Inikpi.

The Princess noticed his father’s unhappy mood and tried to find out why, but he would not tell her. She became worried too and persisted to ask until the seventh day, the king told her what the oracle said he should do to save Igala land and the people from destruction.

Knowing the reason for her father’s sad mood, Inikpi promised to offer herself. Her acceptance brought mourning across the land, especially from Omele, her mother.
On the appointed day, Inikpi went to the bank of River Niger at Ida and was buried alive alongside nine virgin slaves that would help her thereafter.

After the sacrifice, as the Bini warriors advanced they saw the whole Igala land in flames and retreated, believing that there was no need taking the war to a town already on fire. But it was the blood of Inikpi that deceived them, according to history.

Inikpi’s sacrifice brought unending joy, peace, and security to Igala Kingdom. It liberated the people from the shackles of their surrounding enemies, as the Igala army was no longer defeated at wars.

Inikpi lived and died a virgin and her courageous act has caused many parents to name their daughters after her. Her statue is at Ega in Idah market in Kogi State.

I think u may be a bit mixed up. Lord Jesus came primarily to DIE, to be killed, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. All u need to do to be saved is accept him and acknowledge that he died for your sins
