Obasancho emphasized the importance of maintaining the cultural heritage of African, especially the tradition of Julba, and he said that this was earlier than the arrival of Christianity and Islam.
“Who is the whole of us. Unfortunately, we have downgraded some aspects of culture to the background-our food, our language, our clothes, etc.
“They even said that Julba was verbal. That was wrong. Jouluba was Jonalba; it was real. We must learn to celebrate our things, because it is true.
“I am a Christian. I have been to two churches today, but who said that IFA Orunmila must be a bleeding fool. I would say that this person is a big fool, because ORUNMILA has been before the arrival of Christianity or Islam. The same as ingmila means with us ORUNMila God used to be God’s Lord– “Heaven knows who will be saved,” he said.
