I'm a core Yoruba from ancient city of Sakiland where Ogun got consumed by the earth with the chain in Ogidigbo Saki.
But the ancient devil worship they call traditional religion is what we Africans should abolish. Isese religion is what has ruined our environment to this extent. It promotes money rituals,black magic and human sacrifice,etc. In ancient city of Sakiland,Egunguns(Masquerades)were once beaten black and blue by the good Alisunnah brothers and since then they know their boundaries and they even hide their Isese name. No Saki woman wants to marry them,no Saki man wants to marry from an Isese family. They get forced to adopt Islamic names and hide their Isese religion,many of them convert to Islam. ISLAM IS GOING TO RULE THE WORLD. That religion from Arabia is the world's fastest growing religion. Isese religion has no place in our society. The religion from Arabia is from God,Isese is from devil. That's why they don't even mention Olodumare in their incantations. They would rather mention Ogun lakaye or Sango. Isese is a religion of the past,Saki people are Muslims to the core now even though our grand parents and great grand parents practiced Isese but many converted to Islam. Family masquerades and Idols are been burnt by the brave boys in families in Saki everyday. If you dare come to Saki trying to rise Isese again,you might get beaten or worse might happen,Saki people are good muslims. Ilorin is now following the steps of Saki in being better Muslims too. Kudos to Dr Imam Ali Again,Dr Oloun Oyin and the great Sheikhs and Islamic scholars of Ilorin for urging the King to take action in banning Isese festival. I believe most Yoruba kings will start banning it now too. Oba Tijani Abimbola of Saki was the first to ban those ancient Isese festivals. The present King of Saki is now in Mecca in Saudi Arabia practicing that beautiful religion from Arabia and the best gift that could be given to any one,Islam worshipping,Allah.
Isese religion is dying so fast,Islam is the way of God,Isese is the way of Satan,vengeance,rituals,human sacrifice,etc

LL lol Lagos is a Muslim pupulated state. we are more than you people there. Even osun. We Yoruba Muslims are over 65% of the population, keep dreaming. You said we are poor in kwara but you come to kwara for jobs. Kwara is blessed with lot of untapped mineral resources. I know you are from Ekiti poverty state

mumu! You don't even have a Muslim governor in the whole of Yoruba land as of today stay there and be typing Islamic trash

Stop being foolish and go read online instead of creating reetarded questions.

You can as well ask foolish questions of "why was Jesus killed despite being a gentle and nice person?".

With the amount of free information freely available, if you have a brain cell that works, you will not be asking certain questions.

For those of you who care about history.

As insulting as the press release by the Emir of Ilorin but most people don't know that Wole Soyinka himself helped officialize both English language as our language and Christianity as our religion in Africa.

In 1962, after the official end of colonialism in most African countries, there was a conscious cultural movement by intelligent educated Africans to kick out both the English language and Christianity out of Africa but Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Ezekiel Mphahlele, all Christians at that time fought against the movement.

In a meeting in Makere in Uganda as I said in 1962, they officially adopted English language as our language.

Once that was done, the cultural revolution died. And ever since, the African continent entered into the "cold-colonialism" that we find ourselves till this day.

Soyinka should first free himself from the language of the white man before he free others.

Else, when he understands why he loves the English language, he'll understand why other Africans love Muhammad or Jesus.

If you need more information about the 1962 event, go to www.africason.com and read the article that says "how Britain and the CIA fooled Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe to destroy African languages in literature"

Intolerant people. They actually prevent many people from wanting to explore the Muslim faith with their intolerance and aggressive attitude

Tinubuwins2023e:


Lol... during the governorship election, why do you igbos stay indoors after Yorubas warned you not to come out? coward dey call another person coward

But the ones that came out confidently defeated tpur Chicago drug lord in his own adopted state

The intolerant bigoted Emir decisions could posibly lead to a war in ilorin or draw bad blood between yorubas and fulani and it will affect other innocent fulanis living in southwest region. I dont practice traditional religon but i believe everyone has a choice to forge their path and choosing and practicing a preferred religion is inclusive too. God gave that choice. Not satan or other small demon gods. Not any emir,oba or any president.

Rostikol:
What I like most about this controversy is that it brings TRADITIONAL RELIGION to the fore.

THE GODS ARE RETURNING.

More people will start returning to ATR.

About time too..because this Jesus and Muhammed imported stuff are just not doing it for us. All they breed is hate, rivalry and corruption.

Delusions
ATR is being pulverized in a cosmopolitan town like ilorin and you're deluding yourself into believing it's a good thing
Dey play

googi:
This is another confirmation that once you step out of the land of tolerance and accommodation, anything goes wild, barbaric and uncivilized.

For centuries, Ilorin accommodate and celebrated every religion, foreign or local as it is done in other Yoruba land.

When you fall asleep in the name of tolerance and allow strangers to get comfortable, they take you for granted and a fool ready to give up your birthright.

If it is not Ilorin, it is ORE.

If it is not Ore, it is LAGOS.

There is no reason or common sense in the reason the festival was cancelled other than impunity. Those celebrating and supporting this uncultured behavior have not learned their lessons in Lagos.

See how you spoke with your tongues in check because it's the Fulani. you had to stylishly push the Lagos and Ore narrative. if this were to be "those other people" you would have been screaming on top of your voice. Face Ilorin and scream as usual

The children of hate and division masturbating on this thread like kilode,
This people who claim to be christians but are everything but Christlike,

Anyway, as a former christian now a Muslim I know from reading all the scriptures of God that God is not a democrat, there is no popular opinion with Him, the only popular opinion was and is God's opinion which is Law, isese festival is against everything God (Allah) stands for, all the curses in Deuteronomy 28 is directed at isese festival people and their likes, the anger of Allah is on them, from the Israelites journey in the wilderness we know that a person or tribe that worship idol or break God's law rarely suffer alone but their family and a whole tribe might be punished for it, the entire Israelites could not enter the promised land at the right time because a some of them doubted God, those that stood strong in faith also could not enter. Islam is a lot like Judaism but for the difference in mode of worship, we both go to God directly, that's why the judgement seems to be swift in Islam and there is a lot of power, God will not bend to the people's desire to break his laws because of modernisation or sentiments, He created the universe and cannot be unseated from it's control. A Muslim community like Ilorin is even more sensitive because if the isese people are allowed to run rampage, releasing their demons everywhere, when the anger of God is kindled, people will shout Muslim terrorist,

Ilorin is lucky that they were overtaken by Fulani thereby giving them Islam, it is evidenced in there prosperity and development even though they are land locked, all over the world anywhere Islam is established are better for it, that is why I pray fervently that the Yoruba nation shall never be realised, because the founders will dedicate the nation to isese demons and these demons will unleash terrors on the non worshippers of it, many people are still battling their ancestors idol because they did not worship it, christians will even suffer more in the Yoruba nation because Islam always send the devil's packing, deliverance does little to the devil but holiness gets rid of him and that's what Islam offer.
While the Muslim towns are enthroning their kings with Quran and prayers, all Yoruba kings have to worship several idols and do several evil to be enthroned thereby giving power to the devil over the land, poverty, destruction, evils are the outcome of such unless you find God by yourself.
Before you write your bias, bigotry, hate induced reply, remember you will one day account for everything you did on earth.

Lol, don't mind those fear fear people and hypocrites. Imagine if it were to be one Igwe of Ilorin that canceled that festival, they would have been all over here spitting trash

You're one with the lies. Like I already stated, Ilorin aren't useful to the Yoruba because na dem dey do gumbody with other Yorubas. Before they do any gumbody, they should sort their shit first.


I repeat, Yoruba won't lose their beautiful lovely culture filled with lots of beautiful things such as dresses/attires, proverbs, metaphor, greetings, literature and poetry etc which are one of the best in the world. Yoruba won't lose their rich suave heritage for dumb toxic foreign terrorist shit culture. We're Africans!

Pls,what are you using your attire,suave heritage,poetry,etc for? To withdraw money in bank or what? Who cares about greeting and bending down all the time when I can say "Salam Alaykum". People in Saki don't give a damn about all those things you mentioned again. If you wear abeti aja cap or those Yoruba caps or wear agbada,they would think you're Babalawo. Hardly would you even see anybody bearing their Yoruba name. I'm still called by it because in our time,our parents gave us the name but the last Borns of our family aren't even bearing Yoruba name. Islamic names straight up. Those Islamic names are like prayers, they're beautiful and valuable, they're full of blessing. I would rather dress Islamic than dress like Yoruba. People look at those that dress like typical Yoruba like they possess black magic or are evil. Throw the Yoruba culture away. We Muslims have our culture which is million times better than Yoruba culture. We love Yoruba because our prophet said we should love our culture but only the good parts of our culture can be picked by us

The freedom to worship via any religion is guaranteed, the emir don't have the right to ask anyone not to worship how they want to, she is a Nigerian in Nigeria.

Why We Cancelled Yoruba Cultural Ceremony, Isese Festival – Emir Of Ilorin

Hope he will be proactive it’s time for
Molid

This emir is an idiott sha!

He celebrated eid but Isese can't celebrate their own?

If the Isese accepts this and not go ahead and do their thing and damn the consequence, this is the end for them.

The Isese needs to defy him and do their thing, let the war starts.

Wth! He's a religious leader and has no jurisdiction over Isese people.

You all should stop attributing any nonsense Isese to Yorubas, it's for traditionalist irrespective of tribe.

We Yorubas have nothing to do with isese


I'm happy the woman was stopped.

Isese means tradition in Yoruba. It's the Yoruba word for traditional religion.
Yorubas have everything to do with Isese. Don't be willfully ignorant

Yoruba culture is one of the best culture in the world. They're not dumb terrorist culture who are all about terrorism, dumbness and black magic like the foreign Islam culture.

Even Europeans acknowledged the fact that Yoruba culture are one of the best in the world!

Till now, I can still remember the Yoruba poetry such as "kai mase toroje, je ki o ti afun e te lorun, aini itelorun ni bere ole". This particular poetry shaped me as a young child.

Add that to beautiful Yoruba proverbs such as "igi gogoro magun mi loju, okeere lati wo"; "ati kekere lati peka iroko, to badagba tan".. etc. All these shaped me as a little children.

Or is it Yoruba metaphor and simile such as "a sun bi ora inu eran" etc. Or is it beautiful Yoruba literature? The beautiful lovely dress and attires? The beautiful greetings and so-on?

Is that what you want to eradicate for your dumb terrorist shit? You dey craze?

I repeat, Yoruba won't lose their beautiful lovely culture filled with lots of beautiful things such as dresses/attires, proverbs, metaphor, greetings, literature and poetry etc which are one of the best in the world.

Arab slaves are waging war against their own Ancestors in order to impress their Arab Gods and their controllers. There is no greater shame than a black man forgetting that he is the Grand Father of all Human races and also being ignorant of his own God.

That is the fate of Jews, Islamists and Christians and the rest of those cocktales of new breeds of ether manipulating schools of thoughts.
