Religion in Africa is so much more different than religion everywhere else. Why are the shackles bigger and heavier?

[Wale •🦉 @Drwhales_]

A heterogeneous society like ours will always work with laws that can be examined through reason, evidence, and public debate. Any law that is insulated from criticism by claims of divine authority is a No No

[Kaiser Kunle @heyitskunle]

If ANY additional law beyond Nigeria’s democratic constitutional framework should be legalized here, it must come from Yoruba traditional & cultural practices — not foreign religious ideologies.

1. Yoruba Customary Law already exists and works for personal matters (marriage, inheritance, family land). Nigeria’s legal system officially recognizes it as a source of law alongside common law. It governs intestate succession, family property, and more for Yoruba people in the Southwest — patriarchal lineage, equal shares among children, and family head (dawodu) management. This is centuries-old indigenous law, not imported.

2. Yorubaland was founded on Yoruba traditions and spirituality. Pre-colonial kingdoms (Oyo Empire, Ile-Ife as spiritual cradle) were built on Ifa divination, Orisha worship, divine kingship (Oba as semi-divine), and customary rules derived from culture, norms, and Olodumare/Orishas. Traditional religion was fully integrated into governance, law, and dispute resolution — priests and councils checked rulers’ power. This system predates any foreign faith by centuries.

3. No foreign religion should replace our traditional religion at the societal level. Yoruba traditional religion was the societal foundation for over a millennium. Islam arrived ~15th century via Malian traders/scholars (known as “Ẹ̀sìn Ìmàlẹ̀”), with limited early conversions; Christianity only in 1842 via European missionaries in Badagry/Abeokuta. Both are imports that later coexisted — but they never replaced the indigenous spiritual-legal order that built our land.

4. Personal faith is your business. If you identify as Muslim or Christian, practice it freely in your family and private life. But keep it out of the laws of our land. Nigeria is secular; Southwest states have no statutory Shariah courts (unlike the North). Yoruba customary law already accommodates personal matters without imposing any single religion on everyone.

Yorubaland’s identity is not up for religious replacement. We will preserve the traditions that built us, AND AT ALL COST.

[Diogenes @Xokalled]

Thank you! The shariah advocates are being clever by half.

If all Muslims truly want Sharia then they can implement it privately, why does the state need to get involved?

The silent part they aren’t saying is they want to coerce fellow Muslims, and eventually non Muslims.

[Ekundayo Mayowa Daniel @DanielEkundayod]

Oga, you’re not a Yoruba man. You’re just a Muslim wearing Yoruba clothes.
This is exactly the mental slavery we’re talking about. You proudly declare that Arab religion comes before your own blood, your own ancestors, and your own people. In 2002 Ajegunle, when your Hausa Muslim brothers were slaughtering Yorubas, where was this “Islam first”?
They didn’t see you as fellow Muslims, they saw you as Yoruba and tried to wipe you out. It was Yoruba blood Christian and traditionalist that saved Yoruba lives.
Yet here you are, still bowing to Mecca before acknowledging your own father’s land.
A real Yoruba knows: Eledumare put you in a Yoruba womb for a reason. Your ethnicity is divine assignment from birth. Your religion is a later choice.
Prioritizing imported ideology over your tribe makes you a cultural orphan and a tribal liability.
Yoruba Muslims like you are the reason Yorubaland is weak and confused. Until you put Yoruba first, you remain part of the problem.
Islam first = Yoruba last. Simple.

[Ìfẹ́ṣọlá @kootujirian]

The only law that should govern everyone in Yorubaland, regardless of religion, is the civil law of the land, guided by the Omolúàbí ethos of character, responsibility, and mutual respect.

You cannot use violence, intimidation, or terrorism to demand a religious legal system and then expect people to believe it will bring peace.

If an idea requires coercion to spread, it has already raised serious questions about the kind of society it would create.

2025, Trump talks about Christian killing and invading Nigeria.
😭🙏🏾: My Christian brothers please let’s think of our Nation and put aside religious sentiments.

2026, Bandits demand that Sharia Law be passed in Oyo State.
😌🙏🏾: I am Muslim before Yoruba, my religion comes before every other thing.
Sharp.
