Dotman01:

I will only answer the questn if d poster can tell me why. . . Richard gere likes to make love in his movie (of wch i believe they av an educated nd more competent producers). . . . Why are  lot of american films show a lot of , crime, scientic - fictions and LIES(Tricks)scenes. . . . 2nd questn [b]who told u your way of worshippin God is d right way, your pastor?. . . . I dnt [/b]think u av d rite to judge or say c&s churches ( am nt a member)are like babalawos. . . . .wat gve u d impression your doctrine is right. . . .like u said earlier this is 21st century.

There is no doubt that the poster is right most Yoruba movies promote babalawos, but do i personally have any problem with this? my answer is NO, the way out of this is simple scanned through any film before watching it if you don't like it don't watch it no be force,  I usually watch yoruba films on youtube whenever I have some time but what I'll alwys do is scan through it first, once it contains any scene of Babalawo, Alfa or even Pastor I'll not watch it , its that simple. What that means is that i end up watching only few Yoruba films.

What I see about all these films is that instead of educating some deluded Nigerians its rather encouraging them to continue to live in ignorance, I believe up to 90% of problems most people take to Babalawo or pastor only requires common sense but a typical Nigerian will attach spritual meaning to anything, it just ignorance

@typia
And what is your understanding/definition of "juju", Babalawo?

lastpage:

Okay, so the conclusion you came to (which seems that is where you did set out to arrive at, at the onset) is that "Yoruba people are fetish"?
Right? Thats your final conclusion?

Okay, we dont need to discuss the issue any further.

Lets move on to something more interesting and less Fetish

End of Story.

BTW: Someone said you had a post in the racism section where you state that "Yoruba Films belittle Christianity"?

Adding that, to this current, Are you planning to "Un-write Yoruba History" just because YOU are a Christian like the rest of us?

Different stories for different folks.
Just "left" the Yoruba people alone. You can exist without them, l think?

The topic should be, 'why do Yorubas promote babalawos?'

Because juju is an integral part of Yoruba culture. Yorubas are more conversant with spirits, voodoo  and the spiritual world than any other ethnic group in Africa.[/size]

Cohomology:

[b]All talk about juju is utter rubbish!

Juju has zero powers and those who think otherwise are just part of the huge proportion of gullible Nigerians.

1. No juju can provide the level of healthcare modern medicine can provide. None!
2. No juju can compete with modern transportation: cars, airplanes, etc.
3. No juju can provide any form of communication between people separated by large distances, like the cellphone, satellite phone, VOIP, etc. can provide.
4. All juju must bow to the laws of physics! My AK-47 will annihilate any babalawo, in this life or the the next. Kapish!

When the Europeans arrived Africa, our ignorant predecessors (bless their sweet but ignorant souls), were beheading humans and sacrificing to nonentities to provide protection. However, when their worthless juju was confronted with European soldiers, Christians who believed in the grace of God through Christ Jesus our Saviour, but never doubted the universal laws codified in the physical and chemical equations that govern the behavior of matter, ALL the juju and their ignorant adherents were crushed!

The average Nigerian believes in juju because of the cataclysmic ignorance that rules Nigeria!

Cohomology:

The facts don't lie. The reality is that juju has done absolutely nothing for our society, hence, its existence is a fraud perpetuated by two things: FEAR and IGNORANCE.

igbonla:

Ignorance is a disease! Unfortunately, the poster cannot be educated on this thread and I don't even have the time.
