Based on the pictures I'm seeing, I believe you. Se e r'ooni soro?Is that Ekiti there? Does it mean 'if I was able to speak with Ooni?'. If yes, no. Although he is a simple man who is very affable. We speak oyo/ekiti at home, not sure which is which jare. But you translated it correctly. Se e r'ooni soro = se e ri oni ba soro. Could be my own language mistranslation. He seems quite humble and laid back. Per the previous Ooni's wives, has he inherited them? Se a fe won gege bi oko at'iyawo? Ade a pe lori oba o! |

Yorubabalnd is probably 48% Islam, 48% Christianity, 3% traditional religion, 1% others. Christianity is also a strong influence. Are all undercover traditionalists. lmaoooo. (I)Fashola is a muslim man with an orisha-oriented name. Likewise (I)Fayemi and (I)Fayose are both Christians with orisha-orientated names. The picture of Ooni going to a church service after spending days in the forest of the gods is and iconic presentation of Yoruba pluralism. Because modern society wants us to pretend, we will, but we are true to our nature; traditionalist. |

Apart from people having names praising one Orisa or the other, most Yoruba never hesitate to go the way of traditional system when they are confronted with situations Islam/christianity cannot solve. Yet they'd head to their various religious outlets proclaiming their faith(s) in the belief LOL. Slowly, people are becoming comfortable with being identified with traditional belief unlike what was obtainable in the past - thanks to the influx of Africans in the Diaspora and Caucasians who have picked up major interest in Yoruba belief system. |

Should I choose to become a theist, I'd rather practice the Yoruba religion. It's my forefather's religion and it helped us survive before the influx of external religions. It's just sad that it took non-Yoruba's appreciation for Yoruba religion for us to appreciate what we have. |

Indeed, it is sad but at least they're beginning to question why they should hold on to the religion a foreigner who's interested in theirs gave them. |
