Agreed ijebuman, it is quite sad that people all over the world are proud of their indigenous spiritual practices (Indians-Hindu, Chinese-Chinese Religion, Arabs-Islam, Jews-Judiasm, and Christianity for Arabs and Middle Easterners, however, many Yoruba fail to see the cultural value of thier indigenous spiritual tradition as a WORLD religion like other major religions practiced all over the world. Be proud and support your tradition and don't let your desire to please Westerners push you away from your own tradition. Besided, many white folk and westerners are joining traditional Yoruba religion in droves.

That growing breasts stuff sure is very funny. Though I've heard of others and there are claims that they work, I ain't seen 1 lady who claims her breasts are as a result of the incantations.
It's even evident in Nigeria that such incantations aren't potent.

I feel sorry for those who choose to believe that our cultural practices are evil or regards "such things as witchcraft."
We've allowed ourselves to be brain washed by those who colonised us, read up what Ifa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ifa) is all about and you'll understand that its not about the crap portrayed in nollywood movies.
Our culture is dying because we don't see anything good in ourselves.
There's nothing wrong in embracing and assimilating other cultures but it should not be at the expense of our own.

To Bayuze
Magun doesn't exist; it’s all a myth that was used in the old days to discourage sexual infidelity. The fear that it may exist, was enough to dampen any ‘excitement’ on the part of the man engaged in any illicit affair.

I actually find this writing funny! I don't believe stuffs like these work. Call me naive/westernized, but in my opinion, I classify such things as witchcraft.

However, it is rather amazing how the yoruba culture travelled thousands of miles to Brazil, while such practices are almost extinct in Nigeria.

2006-09-23T16:14:00.000+01:00

I think that the Yoruba and indeed other cultures are still alive and vibrant in Nigeria but has been overshadowed by a lot of things such as abject poverty, Western culture etc. Who wants to give a damn about local herbs, plants and spells when I havent had a decent meal in days?
But in reality, most of what we know these "stuff" is that they are used for evil and not for good eg money rituals,revenge,plain wickedness(I have been a recipient so I know).Ever heard of 'MAGUN'?I have always wondered what the world would be like if we utilized our unorthodox knowledge for the good of mankind.
