Aborigine Ogboni Fraternity Of Nigeria Member Invites Nigerian Pastors To Meeting
June 28, 2014 – Aborigine Ogboni Fraternity Of Nigeria Member Invites Nigerian Pastors To Meeting
Excerpt from a recent interview with an Ogoboni cultist
How did your romance with the Ogboni fraternity begin?
I am Oba Olamilekan Ifayemi and I became Ogboni member over 30 years ago when I joined Aborigine Ogboni fraternity of Nigeria. I was born into a family of traditionalists, and therefore it becomes natural that I should have a liking for the Ogboni people. I like their ways of life, their respect for culture, and ways of our forefathers. The day I joined the Ogboni group marked a turning point in my life. My life has not remained the same again. My joy, and happiness increased when I joined the Ogboni group.
But it is the general belief of people that Ogboni is synonymous with evil, and that your members used to kill people and even drink blood during initiation, what is your reaction to this?
People saying these things are malicious especially some pastors who make it a habit to attack our members. Ogboni people are peace loving. We are children of light as we abhor anything evil or darkness. It is a pity that some people have deliberately indulged in this malicious propaganda against Ogboni over the years.
Contrary to the wrong impression being harboured against us, Ogboni is an extension of African traditional religion. Let me take you back to the olden days in Yoruba land before the colonialists came. Ogboni plays prominent roles in the affairs of the society. Our members are society watchdog, and not only in the old Oyo empire, Ogboni played key role in the installation and removal of a monarch.
But with the advent of colonialism and influx of missionaries, these preachers started making disparaging remarks against Ogboni, even describing it as a secret cult which we are not.
Are you saying Ogboni is not a secret cult?
What does light have in common with darkness? Ogboni members are children of light. We don’t kill, we save lives. This is why I challenge those pastors or anybody who claims we eat people or suck blood to a public debate. I want them to show proof of where any of our members is involved in act of cannibalism.
Don’t mind these pastors who I will refer to as hypocrites. If we are evil, why do they come to us to acquire power? Those of them that you see crowd in their church, do you think it is through their own prayers that make them to have such a crowd? If I make certain revelations on some well known pastors in this country who rode to stardom on the back of Ogboni, you will be shocked.
These pastors say we are evil, yet when armed robbers descend on their churches, they used to come cap in hand begging us the traditionalists to help secure their churches. Did you not report of how traditionalists and some OPC members were recruited to provide security in churches? Again, how many times have you heard about armed robbers invading Ogboni place of worship? Never. It will never happen but we see armed robbers robbing churches at will. Ask yourself who is cleaner between Ogboni and the pastors?
But if you claim you are not a secret cult, why do you hold your meetings at night?
That shows the bias that some people have against us again. Don’t churches organise vigils, and even now muslims through such organisations as NASFAT hold vigils regularly. To answer your question, I will not deny that we often meet at nights, but not every time.
As members of Saala Ogboni Fellowship of Nigeria and Overseas, we hold our meetings during day time, and this is usually on the 1st Sunday of every month, but when occasion demands that we should meet at night, we do so, and the main reason for this is to ensure that we are not disturbed or distracted by noises during day time. Our members also have their own quiet time during which we pray and meditate.
Our meetings at night are not for evil purpose but to ensure that we worship our creator in quietude. I can’t understand why our people like to disparage what is African. Look at India and China, they still keep faith with their traditional religions in spite of the incursion of western influence in their countries. Majority of Indians today are Hindus, while many Chinese still practice Confucianism. This is why I challenge these people to a public debate in order to clear the air about these misconceptions. I invite any pastor or any other Nigerian seeking the truth and knowledge to Ogboni meetings.
Another question the interviewer forgot to ask… Why do they cut their members head after their death?????

Christians who enjoy lslam criticisms and bastardisation should react and defend their so called religion.

Jesus is the only way, truth and life. No one comet to the father except through Him. Satan is really painting itself good to gain more followers but the gates of hell shall never prevail against the church of Christ.

@Rethink…The pastors go there to acquire power in other to enrich themselves,which is wrong . While many psychopathic Muslims hve been killing innocent pple all over d world in the name of religion and doing God’s work. The first thought of anyone around d world when they hear of terrorism is ISLAM. Kids are aware too….

well said Judy> @Rethink, t-h-I-n-k! Think and re-think< ur religion Islam is synonymous with Terrorism in the middle east, boko haram in Nigeria and all forms of destruction of lives and properties all over the world. Boko haram – Islam, (even if some members of your religion claim they are not) the b***ards claim they are moslems! So, if some men claim to be pastors and in a bid to enrich themselves, start a church and mislead people and are exposed in the process, that goes to show they are not real men of God and could even be aethists or moslems posing as pastors for all you know. let's not get into religious slandering on this blog cos it would be ugly and we would lose focus as everyone would naturally defend their own. On a final note, Jesus Christ is the Great "I am", the Way, the Truth, the Light, the Door! Shalom!
