A CHAT INSIGHT WITH IFAGBENUSOLA OWOMIDE POPOOLA

Why do we call one people’s spirituality “religion” but dismiss our own indigenous practices as “superstition”?

When spiritual experiences occur in foreign traditions, many Nigerians accept them as miracles, divine encounters or sacred mysteries. Yet when similar experiences happen within Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, Ifá and other African spiritual traditions, they are quickly labelled fetish, primitive or unreal.

Why is foreign spirituality treated as legitimate while the wisdom inherited from our own ancestors must constantly defend its right to exist?

Perhaps the real question is not whether African spirituality is valid, but who taught us to doubt our own.

Who is fooling who?
