Islie: It's based on the faith practiced by each of those being sworn in. It's not new among the Yoruba. Emeritus Prof Wande Abimbola, former Vice Chancellor, University of Ife, Ile-Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) was sworn into office as a Federal Minister in 2003 with Iwo (horn) filled with charm in the Ifa tradition. Former Federal Minister, 91-year old Emeritus Prof Wande Abimbola is still a practicing Babalawo till date. May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs! 59 Likes 2 Shares

gratiaeo:What a question? The religion of each individual is the business of that individual. I don't think everyone in Ekiti state practice only one religion. I am a Christian, it's my personal business. I can only persuade others by preaching to them and not force them to accept my Christian faith. Only God can convert, forceful conversion is a recipe for anarchy. 56 Likes 1 Share |

Who will steal will steal and the gods will gladly accept a sacrifice. It is with the living God that Obedience is better than sacrifice. With dead gods, sacrifice is ultimate. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Islie:Ogun is the God or deity of "War and Iron" in the Yoruba Religion (or Ifa Religion). "The Yoruba culture does NOT teach you to be weak and turn the other cheek, and this is why Ogun the "God of War and Iron" is venerated amongst the Yorubas for centuries (and also amongst other adherants in Benin Republic, Togo, Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, etc). The iconic 1986 Nobel laureate, Professor Oluwole Soyinka (of Ijebu paternal lineage and Egba Abeokuta Ransome-Kuti maternal lineage) is an adherant of the Ogun deity, and he gets invited annually to Cuba, Brazil, the U.S. and elsewhere in the Diaspora to give talks to enthusiastic folks on the Yoruba Religion. Ogun is NOT an "idol" but a deity of the internationally-known Yoruba Religion. Some journalists like this Cable reporter are indeed ill-informed right from Journalism School and have to learn to upgrade their knowledge of modern language usage when writing for the general public including learning to respect the faiths of others. Some don't even realize that it's WRONG to use the word "disabled" to refer to physically challenged folks in their publications. Physically challenged folks are NOT disabled in absolute terms. The use of the term "half-caste" is also a dated term and WRONG to use as it is derogatory. The appropriate term for journalists and others to use is "biracial man or biracial woman." Even at that, I believe that race is a social construct. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The oath would have allegiance to what will make the citizens of the community better off. They are to serve the people. The total swear to only do what the governor and his deputy says leaves one wondering. 2 Likes |
