It is to the glory of God to survive every threats to existence. As Christians, we should not only celebrate but also sincere by emulating the teachings of whom we celebrate”
Every religion has its rules. The conducts are widely stipulated and well respected. As Yorubas, our religion is head (Ori). It never harbours offering human for sacrifice. The rate of daily ritual killings in Nigeria call for urgent national legislation. Secret societies should be outlawed as done in Great Britain. Nigerians, most especially students are daily victims in the hands of ritualists. They are deadlier than Book Haram”
“We only celebrate Prophets without recourse to lessons from them. No religion will tell you to kill your fellow. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, I appeal for a change of heart. If ritual killings must stop, we must respect the sanctity of our belief in God through the Prophets”
“Today, the reported cases of killing is decimating our population. The royal fathers are watching as their children are daily victims of ritualists. Our silence as monarchs is demonstration of negligence. If government refuse to rise to rescue our children, we owe an urgent obligation of traditional legislation to curb the fatal menace”
“Of what essence and justification is celebration of prophet without emulation of his deeds? I’m appealing to Nigerians to safe Nigeria. We are the enemies of ourselves. The recently added victims are falling to the hands of yahoo plus. It is a great shock of this century. When elders are in the market, child’s head must not drope”
