They had stopped that in the SW before the arrival of the whites. It was still practiced in Benin though and that was the justification of the British for the invasion.

The Benin would often send isoko and urhobo people to go to igboland to capture slaces for sacrifices. Source: "Benin, the city of blood by Reginald Overend"

In addition, the igbos were famous for cannibalism and killing of twins practices. Reference: "GT Basden (Among the igbos of Nigeria)" and "The peoples of Southern Nigeria: a sketch of their history, ethnology and languages with an abstract of the 1921 census
by Percy Amaury Talbot"


The colonial help eradicate killing of twins due to Christianity. The other practice of eating people is still frequently reported in news all around the SE.

I need a copy of these books. Could you please help me get them? cool

Every citizen is entitled to fundamental rights, including freedom of movement. It is unacceptable that women and girls still face restrictions due to cultural practices. The government must intervene to ensure that no tradition overrides the rights and freedoms guaranteed by law.”
Not in a primitive society. Not in these parts. Sorry.

It’s better in the day so you don’t accuse them of killing you at night. What happens to the people stuck in locations outside their house, if it’s done at night?
I'm actually thinking along these lines too. For a festival whose adherents are said to have a thing for the ritual murder of human beings, better to have it in the open.

I bet if not for colonisation and the whiteman denouncing such practices,sacrificing someone when an oba dies,would still have been an acceptable practice in the Southwest
There's no proof that that is no longer an acceptable practice in the southwest.

Why do you assume that I'm a follower of Jehovah or Allah? I'm not, but I know what is bad. So should you.

It used to be night. Why the change in modus operandi

While I fully respect the cultural significance of the Oro Festival, I believe it's fair for residents to voice concerns, especially in such a densely populated and diverse area like Ikorodu. Restricting activities to nighttime seems like a reasonable compromise that maintains tradition while allowing daily life and business to continue without disruption.

Cultural preservation is important, but so is public safety, freedom of movement, and respect for all faiths and lifestyles. Open dialogue between community leaders, residents, and traditional authorities could help find a balanced solution that honors both heritage and modern realities.

at what age did you come to know the meaning of cross? Cross also represent the death of Christ.

That is a fake cross. The actual cross is meant for thieves.
