Olawilson1 wrote: Being a Babalawo or ifa priest doesn’t equate to darkness; it is a form of knowledge just like the Bible and the Quran. In China, their traditional practices guide them, while in Nigeria, some view such practices as dark. However, who created darkness? Isn’t it God? The perception that anything black is bad while white is good is a construct of the Western world. It doesn’t make sense to believe that God created Nigeria as a bad place. In Africa, there is a tendency to embrace Western, Israeli, and Saudi names over our own, indicating a lack of pride in our heritage. It’s essential for us to value our roots, ancestors, and traditions instead of dismissing them as negative influences. Let’s awaken to our true identity and heritage.
