Why Do Yorubas Practice Voodoo? by thiagocrush: 1:07pm On Feb 09, 2016 |
I wanna know why yorubas practice voodoo. Even when they are muslims or christains, there is always one juju god they run to for instant help. Why do the white garment churches and Muslim alfas practise voodoo all in the name of serving God. Its just a question and I need sincere answers No bashing please. |

Yorubas or wetin I dey hear from una mouth. I've never seen where sorcery is being promoted as in plateau state. Those people abandoned their children to suffer in the name of bewitching. 1 Like |

Ive noticed in nigeria's Christian community, the easterners (old eastern region) practice christainity in truth and in spirit unlike the yorubas, most times I fear eating anything frm my yoruba friends house or going to white garments on visit because I don't want any spiritual issues. I just wanna know why in this 21st century some nigerians still practice voodoo knowing fully well that nothing good comes from the devil. |

chynie: For you and who? If its a religion on its own why then do some mix christainity and voodoo / muslim and voodoo eg: white garment churches a.k.a celestial church and cerubuim&seraphim / southwest islam. Hypocrites!!! Truth be told, It is what I call deceit, when their followers die thinking they worshiped God rather it was the devil they served and sang praises to. Little wonder the average igboman is well off than a yoruba man The devil gives ten and take a thousand Abi y'all agreed when buhari call err one a criminal, nw masturbate on the truth |

I'm back again after an undeserved and meaningless ban by our favorite nairaland terrorist you know na M***4* On to the matter, op you're just being mischievous by half or deliberately trying to cause ethnic tensions here. Voodoo worship is synonymous with ALL traditional African societies especially in the sub Saharan regions. So don't claim 1 Like

georjay: I disagree, if there are 100 igbos practising voodoo there are 100,000 yorubas practising voodoo it is 1: 1000 We all know the truth, answer my question and stop calling shrine names |

chynie: I dont agree with you even if you are half correct, my own is do not add christainity and voodoo, it defies the purpose of serving christ jesus, you cannot serve two masters at a time my brother. I hope you agree with me on this |

thiagocrush: yeah but don't shift it to one tribe, cos even here in the east there are cherubim and Sabbath, and all sorts of white garment churches, some pastors who mix Christ with juju u just have to pray God give discerning spirit 3 Likes |

chynie: Dont get me wrong, I like the yorubas but I noticed the younger generations visit white garment and it needs to change. Infact 80% of my yoruba friends attend white garments.... Nna we no get 9 lives like cat, na only one. Im sorry if I made some people angry but do not attend any white garment church, I repeat do not! They are wolves in sheep's clothing. |

thiagocrush: i am not getting u wrong your mentality is wrong nwanne u need upgrade some pastors are worst than white garment church, pray God open your eyes to see what some pastors do behind after all those miracles as for fetish yoruba friends leave their cycle. cos show me your friends and i will tell u who you are make good christian friends not minding their tribe. if you are not comfortable with any tribe avoid them if u can 1 Like |

chynie: My mentality is not wrong, I was pushed to attend white garment full time till God saved me as for pastors who do voodoo, it is not new story. Like the saying goes "shine ya eyes well well" quick miracle, quick death I'm only educating those who plan on visiting white garments to solve their issues, at least we all know white garments when we see them but do u knw the numerous christain churches practising voodoo? No So mister im not wrong. |

thiagocrush: My question to the Op is that why is it that many Igbo fear traveling to their state? I have seen an Igbo man saying he didn't want to his home town because of the fear of Juju and another who vows to go back to his home town because of fear of him be attached spiritually. Another reason why most Igbos give for not building houses in their home town is also because of spiritual attack. The difference between Yoruba and Igbo in terms of voodoo is that Yoruba don't hide it unlike the Igbo. 1 Like |

Apparently because it works for them. FYI, on the issue of 'mixing' christianity with voodoo... Moses, Solomon, David the psalmist, Jesus all in the bible, were great magicians (eh...oops...'miracle workers') of their time. What some then likely termed and today may perceive as voodooism. 1 Like |
