Ah! Ewo! Sango oh! Abinolenu, Obakoso/Olukoso.

Now, lets get down to an underground spiritual game. Nah! Sango. The following are my reasons:

1) Sango is stronger because he was as real as christ. Amadioha is just an absolute myth, a sky Daddy. Amadioha is also described as the god of peace and love whereas, Sango is unapologetically only desribed as the God of fire/thunder/lightning. While Sango walked the earth, he was like a boiling kettle, fire comes out of his mouth when he makes speeches.

2) C'mon, we do not have pictures of them but if we were to guess what they looked like, Sango was definitely handsome. Why? Because Sango is one of the great grand sons of Oduduwa and judging from the statues of the pre-colonial Ooni's of Ife stolen by a German and colonial Britain, Sango was probably handsome, no homo! Meanwhile, Igbo pre-colonial artworks depicting humans is what Europeans would consider has primitive or unrealistic for Africans (Sadly ).

3) Once again, Amadioha did not walk the earth so his leadership skills cannot be judged. Sango was someone both friends and foes feared. Sango definitely had leadership skills that's why though he was the second born to Oranmiyan (the creator of the Oyo Kingdom) he took over from his bother Ajaka because his brother was considered too weak to rule Oyo.

4) Amadioha is the kind of God people pray to when they have smallpox, after offering sacrifices to him thinking your child would get healed, the smallpox suddenly spreads to you. Upon all, he'll still be worshiped and given titles like 'the God who strikes us but yet we still worship him'. Why? because he's a fairy tale that people refuse to stop believing. At least we believe Sango existed in flesh, so he was active especially when it comes to war. He was the third Alaafin of Oyo and his administration was the most wrecked with war. He wears red clothes and carries charms, and so does his followers, indicating he was also a God of war.

5) and finally, who can know about Amadioha's temper when he did not walk the earth and there is no written text about him. Even the the temper of the God of the Bible/Qur'an is controversial. One moment Yaweh is sending meteors from heaven to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but yet God's name is love. One moment Allah commands Muslims to fight the Jews and Christians until they proclaim that there is no God but him and Muhammad is his prophet or they pay the Jizya tax and feel subdued, the other moment, Allah's vaguely says "if you kill one man, it's as if you have killed humanity and if you save one man, it's as if you've saved humanity". On the other hand, Sango walked the earth and he was said to have hot temper. He even burnt his house with lightning after the Goddess of rain and his third wife 'Oya' menstruated on his charm which liquid was not meant to touch. It is also said that he left his Kingdom out of annoyance and hung himself after the incident and that's why he his worshiped today because it take a lot of annoyance for a powerful King to hang himself. I also think his people were also experienced because they know how Sango's Father killed his people after he turned to a pillar and was being mocked by the same people who he told to call on his name for protection from their enemies. Anyway, the Idea that Sango hung himself has also been refuted by Ifa priests and that's why he his also called Obakoso/Olukoso meaning 'the king did not hang'.

The first two Images below depict the statue of an Ooni, the third depicts an Olori, while the fourth depicts the statue of an Igbo artwork or individual.

I'm not sure how one could go about rating the two. They do not operate in the same domain and rites and traditions related to both a not the same. Also, you're unlikely to find any one person that is well-versed in the activities of both. Most either know one or the other (as in, Yoruba know Sango, but not Amadioha and Igbo know Amadioha but not Sango).

The best you could do is to compile information about the two. A rating/comparison would simply be ill-advised. I don't know how anyone can come and say that they prefer Sango to Amadioha and vice versa without being versed about both. So, any answers you receive to this inquiry should effectively be treated as either biased or uninformed.

Amadioha is the Alusi (god) of thunder and lightning of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. He is amongst the most popular of Igbo deities and in
some parts of Igboland, he is referred to as Amadiora, Kamalu (which is short for Kalu Akanu),[1] Kamanu,[2] or Ofufe.[3] Astrologically, his governing planet is the Sun.[4] His color is red, and his symbol is a white ram.[5] Metaphysically, Amadioha represents the collective will of the people.[6] He is often associated with Anyanwu, who is the Igbo god of the Sun. While Anyanwu is more prominent
in northern Igboland, Amadioha is
more prominent in the southern part.
His day is Afo, which is the third market day of the Igbo four day week.[7] Origins Literally Amadioha means man of the
people. Most people from the eastern
part of Nigeria acsribe the name to
their local deity/god. Shrines to
Amadioha still exist in different parts of
Igboland, but the main shrine is located at Ogboro Ama Ukwu or
Ihiokpu as it is called in Ozuzu in Etche
Local Government Area of present day Rivers State, Nigeria. Although it is located there, it is not the patron deity
of the people of Ozuzu. In fact, it is
said that Ozuzu is the town in which
Amadioha "lives" and it serves as it
earthly headquarters. It is from there
that it spread to other parts of Igboland.[8] Functions of Amadioha God of justice Amadioha is first and foremost known
as a god of justice. He speaks through
thunder, and he strikes with lightning.
He creates thunder and lightning by
casting "thunderstones" down to earth. [9] Persons judged guilty by Amadioha are either killed by lightning (which
leaves a black mark on the forehead) or attacked by a swarm of bees.[10] The property of the victim is usually
taken by the priests of Amadioha, and
the body is left unburied and the victim
unmourned, as the punishment is
considered to be a righteous one from God.[11] In some parts of Igboland, Amadioha is used as a curse word.[12] Oaths are often sworn to him, which
can carry deadly penalties when
broken. The ritual cleansing for Amadioha is
very costly and tasking. The deity can
only be appeased by transferring the
curse to a live goat that is let loose
outside of the walls of the community. [13] The ram is a common offering for him.[5] The priestly clan of Amadioha are known as Umuamadi, which translates to children of Amadioha.[14] God of love, peace and unity Besides justice, Amadioha is also a
god of love, peace and unity, and is
prayed for increase of crops, children in the home, and benevolence.[15] Aside the above manifestations of Amadioha,
he represents, as different from most
African religious world views, a
messianic hope for those in critical
situations. Creator God Amadioha is also considered to be a
creator God. In some traditions, human
beings were made by him when he
sent a bolt of lightning down to strike a
silk cotton tree, which split and revealed a man and a woman.[16] Consort to Ani Amadioha is often shown as a husband
to Ani, who is the Earth mother. In some Igbo traditions, the pair are said
to be the first Alusi to have been
created by Chukwu. The two are often honored with Mbari houses, which
were made with mudbrick. Amadioha is
typically depicted as a fair-skinned,
titled gentleman of cool temper who is
the patron of "light skinned Igbos" and "men of exalted rank."[17] While Ani is considered to be the lawmaker of Igbo
society (which is known as Odinani), Amadioha is the enforcer and protector
of the law. God of Carvers In the play, the Other Side of the Mask, the character Jamike refers to Amadioha as "the god of carvers" and
identifies him further as "the god that
sends lightning to kill the evil spirits
who inhabit the trees from which carvers hew their wood.[18] Personal spirit Amadioha as a personal shrine is a
spirit of enterprise that brings wealth. It
is also a representative of the head of the household.[19] Oracle In precolonial times, the village of
Ozuzu turned Amadioha/Kamalu into an oracle called Kamalu Ozuzu.[4] People would travel all over Igboland
to visit the oracle in order to settle
disputes and for help with crucial
decisions. Parties found guilty by the oracle could be sold into slavery.[20] Proverbs and prayers
associated with Amadioha "Amadioha magbukwa gi" (Amadioha
will punish you) "Chi m le kwee - O wuru si o wu mu
mere ihea, amadioha magbukwe
m" (My god please see- If it is true that
I did this thing, let Amadioha Kill me). [21]

as far as i know,sango is a tyrant and demonic,but amadioha is goddish seniorly.unlike zeus and the trouble maker(god of war),zeus dont appear always,but all na being be that,talk of indian culture of elephant and that their animalish thingses.

I would say Sango.

Sango is the god of Thunder/lightning, Fire and Swift Justice. He strikes down the wicked with immediate alacrity when he is invoked.
His symbol is a double edged Axe, called 'Oshe Shango"



While his worship item is Fulgurite or molten lightning stone, which is usually obtained from the spot where a bolt of lightning strikes the soil. Yorubas call it "Edun Ara"



His favorite musical instrument is the Bata drum, which also produces "thunderous" beats when struck akin to a thunder bolt.



His colors are Red and Black.



Not to mention that Sango was also an extremely good dancer during his earthly incarnation.

Sango, a person in recent times known for emiting smoke (maybe fire) from his mouth was or is the Oyo's version of Oramfe.

Fire, lightening, thunder and more were all originally Oramfe's forte till now until all of it became wrapped around Sango who was known for smoke and fire.

Oramfe is Ife and Ondo Specific.
Sango is Pan Yoruba.

This thread still makes little sense. The only thing Sango and Amadioha have in common is the association with lightning and thunder. Their respective mythos are simply not the same. To me, both are distinct. So it makes little sense for Africans to choose one, as if they are merely reflections of one another. You just end up creating a popularity contest that has little to do with their attributes and more to do with people's familiarity of one over the other. But if a popularity/familiarity contest is what you're after, then this thread would make sense.

In which case, I stand on the side of Amadioha.

By the way, didn't NL have polls or something like that? Has that been phased out or is still available, because you could make this a lot easier on yourself and everyone by creating a poll out of it.

Very very very very S T U P I D thread

How about CHUKWU and OLORUN?

This is an old thread though but visit the Amadioha shrine in my village Etche then you would know Sango is no god at all, Amadioha strikes before the blink of an eye

First of all sango is a gay, a sodomite. Throughout his powerless reign with his gay atrocious partner, he has pioneer all sort of sodomic activities even to this age. For instance Bobrisky, denrele edun, bisi alimi and host of others.

Amadioha na small boy...Sango na dey REAL DEAL. Also Amadioha is a local champion limited to the 5 landlocked yebgo states....Sango is know all over the world.
