Yoruba nation advocate, Sunday Igboho, has once again captured public attention by candidly revealing his dual spiritual practices, blending Christianity with the use of traditional charms.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Igboho addressed a group of traditional rulers, candidly discussing his religious upbringing and spiritual beliefs.
Igboho confidently stated that his commitment to Christianity does not preclude him from engaging with traditional spiritual practices.
He remarked, “I am a Christian, but I use charms. I embrace all religions. Even Islamic leaders like Muideen Ajayi Bello are Muslims, while I am a Christian. I was born into the church, yet I practice with charms. I was taught in this tradition. It’s well-known that my father is a babalawo in Modakeke.”
“I am a Christian, but I use charms. I do all religions. Even Islamic father, Muideen Ajayi Bello is a Muslim, I am a Christian. I was born in church, but I do charms. I was trained in the act. Everyone knows my father is a babalawo in Modakeke,” he said.
He explained that he was born in Igboho, a historic town in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State, before his family later relocated to Modakeke in Osun State, where he grew up.
According to him, his father is a well-known babalawo in the town, which exposed him to traditional practices from an early age.
Igboho also stressed that he relates freely with people of different religions and does not see anything wrong in combining beliefs.
He cited Islamic cleric Muideen Ajayi Bello as an example, noting that religion should not stop interaction among people from different backgrounds.
His statement has since divided opinions online. While some supported his honesty and cultural pride, others questioned the compatibility of Christianity and traditional practices.
As usual, Igboho’s comments have sparked another round of debate about religion and culture practice in Nigeria.
