I'm crying for my tribe... I wish I was igbo

See as these bastards dey make my Igbo brothers from Potopoto republic to be insulting me and my region anyhow. Anyway shaa, no problem cos every region get dia own wahaala wey dem dey battle. Na our wahaala for SouthWest be that we go solve am

Afonja nation on this one

Redcrafton:
It appears it is a cultural thing to them.

Have you seen any of their leaders, both political and spiritual talk about it..?

One of their pastors in Abuja was talking about Igbos dashing him money...while his state Ogun is into this sinful way.

That's b*ack people for you.

seems you are slightly objective, the ritual stuff is really a cultural thing that we have not been able to shed off, but in the past, it is when the problem is at its peak or the most extreme of cases when humans are used, but now since there is no regard for human lives anymore it has become a daily occurrence.

My problem is just the way our leaders have kept silent over this issue, there is no apparatus in place to punish culprits and to serve as deterrent to upcoming dissidents, it is really a big problem here and there is no need to hide a wound that can be fatal.

Very bad.

The menace this skull mining has caused is too much.

I had to forfeit my plantain farm located in ogun state because of insecurity issues like this one.

Skull mining is now trading in naija stock market. With the lever of demand, e be like say na him cause crypto to crash

May God destroy Aka and his offsprings that carry kettles to wash their pr**k/pray b4 dey enter toilet (nah so we dey read here on Fridays ). BASTARDS

Pa Righteousness2,wetin the Bible talk about this : Hell fire/End time

Ore, it is high time something is done on this ritual stuff, it is getting too much, we should not hide our inadequacies, we are bigger than that.

I was listening to the interview of those four kids that beheaded that lady on radio this afternoon, it was something else, they were speaking in Yoruba, no remorse whatsoever, they said the motive is for money rituals and the interviewer asked them if they killed the girl before beheading her or they just did it straight, they said they used a short cutlass to kill her before beheading her.

PrinceOfLagos:
Skull mining is the new CRUDE OIL to the people of Ogun state

meth cannibal Prince of Nnewi, you're here again.

Something needs to be done about this nefarious acts

It should be an eye for an eye,if you kill, you must be killed by firing squad. Nigerians need a iron hand to govern them

Hang dem
Hang dem
Burn dem alive
Stop wasting tax payers money to feed these sick pipu

Tinubu why?

I think we are losing focus, guys.

The main focus should be on the murdered and mutilated girl who dated a rich man instead of a poor man and so deserves to be gruesomely mutilated and murdered. We are Nigerian men, that should be our main concern.
Let's FOCUS! We need this ritualist to keep killing women for dating financially stable men.

It's everywhere in Yoruba land what shall we do??

Parents why bring up a child you can't raise

Even if the society tries to

the parent is the child's first role model

JOemmy:



I have been thinking about this too it might actually be a cultural thing over there u hardly find their political and religious leaders like tinibu, oyedepo, adeboye, oni of ife etc talk about it or totally condemn the barbaric practice despite the menace it has been causing in the whole south west region for years.

Talk about it ke! Do you know how many innocent souls those ones have used also for one unending sacrifice or another!!! It's a cultural thing with the yorubas, it's impossible to see a Yoruba man or woman that does not have an imam or herbalist doing different charms for them. You can never do any form business or transaction with them without serious prayer and fasting because immediately they depart from where u are they are going to Baba place. ITOJU ARA that's what I hear dey call it

JosephXavier:
Perhaps it can boost the IGR

This yahoo thing has turned into a pandemic

More like a cancer that cannot nne treated and it has gotten out of hand completely

Nigeria is sitting on a bomb and it will soon blow up

The government has failed
Elders have failed
Parents have failed
The community has failed
Youths are failing too and the teenagers are building on the faulty foundation that has been laid

See problem.

I will keep saying it, the best legacy you can give your child is the knowledge of Christ. Education isn't the best legacy, Christ is.

BKayy:

They will come for you and your region. Better leave their culture be. They are not complaining.

What a very unfortunate response. What has one’s region got to do with what has become an epidemic and a grave alert danger across the nation as a whole.

If you youths on Nairaland have nothing to say except display your tribalistic myopia, why not simply shut up. Who says killing for ritual is only confined to the Southwest? Or do you think other forms of crime are confined just to a particular region of the nation?

Shame on all of you tribalistic youths.

Otuegbe:
How come this thing is not common in Ekiti state and Lagos

Because they are more educated. Education brings knowledge, and knowledge begets enlightenment, and enlightenment frees the mind..

googlepikins:
We don't want people to mine skull and ritual money. But we want traditionalist to still stay in business.

Nigeria is not a serious country. Until we checkmate all these native doctors we are just wasting our time.

Get rid of all native doctors, then the problems of ritual killing will stop.

God bless you.

The funny thing is these same Politicians are their major clients.

The parents of any suspect of ritual killing should also be arrested if guilty, every youth found leaving above their means should be investigated.

Useless Afonja skull miners

I said this sometime back; What we treat with levity will deal with us severely .This is one of it.

sterlingD:
All the elders both government and non government,security operatives,the Traditional rulers both paramount and non paramount and all the holders of the traditions of the region should come together at a round summon all the herbalists, traditional medicine men for serious talk. This thing has to stop it can not continue If the thing been no touch any body for body make him shake and fear now it has.Person need to shake fear and shock to the bone if the people don't stand up now and say enough is enough and do something.

pinkPUSSY:
Can a fish survive without water ?

Can one separate this culture from Yorub.a ?

I love your moniker.

This is not a child's play.
It's serious.

If you have sisters or females in the South West, it should be of concern to you.

Especially if they have a lot of yoruba male friends.

This is so sad, which way Nigreria

It's everywhere in Yoruba land what shall we do??

The solution is complex because the problem is not coming from one front
1. The predominant cause of money rituals involving the use of humans nowadays is poverty, those times when our parents used to boast about, telling us a brand new car was 3500 naira, I doubt the ritual level would be bad like this, if there is great reduction in the poverty level of this country, there might be a great reduction. when you hear the ridiculous prices they sell the body parts after most culprits are caught, you will realise they are absorbed in penury. Poverty is the worst form of violence.

2. Yahoo lords
I stay in south west, so I know what I am saying, when the means of your survival is a direct threat to the life of people living around you then there is danger, I am going to be very blunt here most yahoo boys here are into rituals, yes I am expecting some back lash from their apologists but that is the truth, they might not start as ritualists but when the brain is not bringing in the required results, they tend to use diabolical means.

With the cover of " yahoo boys" they tend to have a kind of immunity as against the hardcore ritualists but both have same devastating effect on the community. my neighbour is a police man, sometimes he shows me those fetish stuffs they see in Yahoo boys apartment, even some babalawos do not have such armoury of charms.

3. This phase is what I called " e fit be you"
As a Yoruba, we are so much attached to our culture than religion, which for me is a good trait but sometimes it comes with a cost, like my learned Fulani friend usually jokes with me, that an Hausa Fulani man put religion on his head, if he runs it drops on his shoulder but a Yoruba puts religion on the shoulder, if he runs it falls on the ground.

if you watch Yoruba films well, they depict what happens in everyday life in Yoruba land, Yoruba's don't have issues going traditional to solve pertinent issues no matter their religious background ( Muslim or christian) with this kind of issue in place , you should know that there is a huge market for all these ritualistic stuff on ground, a ritualist once said that charms that have any iota of human remains is extremely potent and the result is fast as speed of light......There are still other factors but local man is tired of typing, off to watch Egypt vs Morocco.

Since i was small, have heard so much about this ogun state and ritual. Nothing new here

You are right brother.. Infact i am just tired of everything
