RE: ADSactly History : History Of Southern Nigeria [Part 1] - Yoruba In The Pre-colonial Era

in #history5 years ago

What I know most about the Yoruba is their religion, which came to America with the Africans who came as slaves. In this way they not only brought religion, their culture, but also their beliefs, their gods. The masters and owners of the slaves tried to evangelize them, but did not achieve their task, on the contrary, every day non-Africans began to practice Santeria. In this way began a process of syncretism in which Catholic saints were equated with the orishas yorubas, to worship them without arousing controversy among Native Americans. In my country, specifically, the Yoruba religion has penetrated in recent years with the arrival of Chavism. It was good to know about its history and culture. Greetings, @samminator

Thanks a lot Nancy. In this present time, however, core Yorubas have tilted towards Christianity and Islamic religion, though the traditional practices are still found among Yorubas.
