I don't live in Ikorodu, but I live in Lekki. I've been to Ikorodu before. Well, my point is that certain traditions do more harm than good.

Let me reiterarte that not all our customs are evil. For instance, look at the Argungun fishing festivals, Benue dance troup, Calabar annual festival to mention but a few.

Billygee2u:
which culture?shedding of innocent blood?

juman: The tradition rulers must know that they have their own part of responsibility to develop the country.

Behaving this way is ridiculous, backward and retrogressive.

presley64: In dis modern age, still acting like d 70s n 60s.... F**k tradition n culture... Rubbish.... If they too get charm make dem use d juju #bringbackourgirls

samflexxy: why would ebola not afect african countries when stupid cultural practices like this still go on in the so called computer age

Dragonking:

How does this act involve killing of twins or any human? did you even read the write up at all? It was stated that an idol will be paraded around town and it is advisable for people to stay at home to avoid disrupting the rite proceeds.

Stop being a brain washed black slave..wake up

F117A: These guys are defiling their land with blood.
Soon people would start wondering why progress in such communities is scarce
why wouldn't it be,when innocent blood are crying to God against them.
Nigeria as a country need to carry out special attornment with the blood of jesus to silence all these innocent blood,if not,we may not move forward.

yarnings: In this 21st century,why disrupting peoples free movement all in the name of ORO? I hope the named area is a remote village or getto...

vislabraye:

So what's the consequences of disrupting such rites ? Men open your eyes. You guys feel you are wise by accepting these demonic culture. Innocent lives will be lost, movement will be hindered and you say it is tradition.

There was a case similar to this in Rivers State. Two people were missing the next day. I leave it to you, the so call liberated black man and yet you are begging the West for help in curing Ebola Virus . You guys are a bunch of contradiction.

Bigwig1: It's sad at dis age still doin ritual nd using human being. Dats y dres no much development in d town. Smh

lekhane: This is part of our problem of under-development in this country. While reading this, I had just the same feeling I used to have back then during my nysc days in ogun state, there was a time they did oroo for a full week, no one could walk safely.
This is a call to the christian community, more work needs to be done. Evangelism has not reach everywhere o so no resting. God will help us

1stola:
Go and tell that to your village elders.
If you can't respect the people's culture, nobody invited you in the first place.

PAGAN9JA:

Since when is culture and religion required to produce/manufacture and market iphones and androids? Is this a requirement of genuine religion?

What a stu.pid backward reasoning. Go worship your fetish idols of that dead jewish man .

How many macbooks or laptops has christianity or christian priests produced ? Foolish nincompoop.

Do we look like Calabaris here? Why are you bringing Calabaris on a Yoruba Religious Thread?

Kindly fvck off and stop wasting my time.

Afrocatalyst:

Oga, this is Lagos. Forget that culture you're talking about. Go to your village and practise that!
I understand the importance of culture but not at the expense of those who don't belong with you!

Nobleval: Meaning what? Are these people insane?

ollah1:

be quite abeg.. What kind of 21st century are you talking about? Their KING died and u expect them not to perform traditional rights before installing another King. This could happen anythere in the world. Don't Asian countries do the same. Is lagos more civilised than shanghai, tokyo et al? You have to respect their culture and so be it.

Billygee2u:
If their juju is real,why can`t they use it to stop the EBOLA virus ?useless culture

nonesense: Go sambisa Forest to test gun charm in front Boko Ak47

PAGAN9JA:

YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT YORUBAS.

WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN CULTURE AND FAITHLESS FOLK!

OTHER TIMES YOU KEEP BAD-MOUTHING YORUBAS. NOW WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED FOR THEIR WELL_BEING?

STOP CREATING DIVISION AMONG YORUBAS OK?


YORUBALAND WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO YOUR DEAD JEW-goD.

macof:

Not as insane as you Christians and muslims

Nayoanalytical: Stupid and archaic culture and also a hopeless tradition.

The world is looking towards human advancement and some folks are busy practicing fuckup culture.

vislabraye: I wonder for people saying we should respect tradition. That means the killing of twins, female circumcision, and sacrifice of albinos should be continued.

Thats why theres no development in Ikorodu. When demons are invoked upon a land how do you want it to grow?

hensben: why has whatever you worship not bring back the girls?i am a christian but not an extremist one like most nigerians, churches everywhere in nigeria yet the country is getting worse each day that passes by. #most nigerians= mental slavery

Dragonking:

1. Can you prove that innocent lives were lost during today's rite?

2. You complain that movement will be hindered for something that ended around 6am or so but the traffic gridlock being caused by religious camps along the expressways for hours and days does not hinder movement to you and you see it as okay?

3. To the bolded, because 2 black people were missing the next day after a traditional rite, you decide to push the blame on our tradition? Why didnt your brain ponder if it was a normal kidnap, or one of your pastors or imam kidnapped such individuals for their coded sacrifices.

4. Nigerians wont be begging for cure for ebola virus if we accepted our own beliefs, values, practices and norms..Have you ever thought that before white men came to africa the only major disease we experienced then was malaria..but since the day people like you abandoned your traditions to accept foriegn gods, we have no other choice than to succumb to the pathetic case we are in now.

vislabraye:

Go and worship you wood and clay. It is Westernization that has made you computer literate. What has your traditional religion done for you ? Christianity established schools and free health care which Im sure you are also enjoying. If you have malaria fever, you won't drink agbo. You will run to the nearest clinic to get some treatment.

If you are sensible, you will see that I mentioned the -ves of these traditions which also include your favourite masquerade dance. Whether Calabari, Yoruba or Kanuri masquerade dancing is rubbish and backward. U hear. Case close.
