some personal friends of mine
who happen to be a priestess and priest in the religion
had a very long and drawn out debate with a yoruba couple
about yorubaness and christianity and ifa
and all that sort of thing
and basically this same sort of question came up...

"how do you as a yoruba person justify being christian?"

finally

the yoruba brotha made this very simple statement

"Jesus will forgive me, Sango will not."

There is no prayer equal to a woman...."
