When I mentioned traditional worshipers in my previous tweet, someone said he's shaking his head, what about ritualists...
Hello people of the world, Igbo Traditional worshippers are not ritualists; they don't kill. They're not ritualists. Blood is sacred. They share none.

They believe in "live let me live". Egbe bere ugo bere is their mantra. They wake up every morning, use kola nut to pray. Their prayers go this way:
"A gụpee ụzọ a gụpee ọnụ, Ọbasi bi n'igwe anyị na-ekele gị. Nye anyị nke anyị ga-eri ọ bụghị nke ga-eri anyị....
"A gụpee ụzọ a gụpee ọnụ, Ọbasi bi n'igwe anyị na-ekele gị. Nye anyị nke anyị ga-eri ọ bụghị nke ga-eri anyị....
Ka Eke ketara anyị ihe ọma. Ihe ọbụla anyị tinyere aka ka ọ gaa nke ọma. Nye anyị ihe anyị ga-eji azụ ụmụ. Nna zụọ nwa, nwa azụọ nna. Elu rie ka ala rie. Ndụ mmiri ndụ azụ. Mmiri atala ma azụ anwụla..."
How does this form of worship equate ritualism?

Nollywood has blinded the eyes of many to think or believe that everything about our traditional way is evil until a pastor will come to pray and destroy the shrines.
The shrines and ritualists we see today are not associated with Igbo traditional religion. Get the difference.

The Igbo traditionalists always pray with kola. Ha na-agọ ọfọ. The concept of elu rie ka ala rie shows that as I eat, let my brother eat. Nobody is killing anybody for ritual purposes in the name of worship.
Blood is sacred in Igbo belief. You don't kill your brother.

Many toxic arụsị brought to Igbo land were strange too. Many took it back. Ibini Ụkpaabi wasn't of Igbo origin. It came from the Ibibio/Efik and it's used for a different purpose by the Arọ.
Let me not digress. What they told you about Igbo traditional worshipers isn't true

Our grandfathers worship God in their own way. They believe in Onye bi n'igwe. Humans naturally have this belief in supernatural being.
A core traditional Igbo man is straightforward. It's part of religion. Being truthful & fearless. They can't be compromised.
