@Ugo Ogugwa is there alot of persecution of traditional faith over there? I want to see Ile Ife one day along with Lagos but I dont know because it seems like Nigerians willing to scrap over their Christianity, let alone the Muslim brehs. Ifa is facing a huge wave of violence in Brazil from Evangelicals and I wanna know if Nigeria is the same. Dont wanna be rocking my elekes out in public and get pressed by them demons
It depends on what type of traditional faith you are referring to.
I'm not very learned in this area of Nigeria but I did have a small observation during my trip that ended yesterday.
If you are considered a ritualist or a herbalist you will be shunned and possibly arrested.
Reason being that ritual murders happen in Nigeria.
People murder their spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, children and strangers etc to appease spirits.
In exchange they are expecting riches/power etc.
Go to YouTube and search for "Nigeria Money Rituals".
You will find news reports and press conferences interviewing the killers as they explain why they killed.
Nigeria is an overly religous/superstitious place.
So if it seems you are openly practicing something considered taboo my the majority around you, there will be consequences.
My cousin took me to see a movie called "Living in Bondage".
It basically was about ritual killings and how the "blood of Jesus" can save people from it's power.
