“It is strange that Nigeria , a supposed Mecca of Isese can’t separate National holidays to celebrate Isese like they do to Islam and Christianity “ – Iyalorisa Paula de Oya reveals.

Iya Paula, a prominent Yoruba Traditionalist in Brazil has reacted over the situation of Isese in Nígeria , Paula de Oya insists that Nígeria must recognize traditional religion as a National patrimony, the Iyalorisa spoke furiously , she said Nígeria is blessed with a religion that has conquered the world “ It should not be allowed to die , Isese lagba “ the Olorisa concluded

Speaking with The Ancestral News in Brazil , Paula de Oya narrated the difficulty the Brazilian traditionalists encounter whenever they visit Nígeria , she said the customs in Nígeria sometimes discriminates religious options at the Muritala Mohammed Airport . “ They have called me all sorts of names in Yoruba language, not knowing I was hearing them “ – she said

The Priestess of Ile -Axe Xangô Onire , Paula requests that the government of Nígeria should separate públic holidays for Traditionalists in Nígeria , she said such will also put adequate balance to the three religious interests in Nígeria

According to the Iyalorisa, it is necessary that Nigeria invests in spiritual tourism for all practitioners around the world to visit Nígeria like Muslims visits Saudi Arabia and Christians visits Jerusalem , she said the State of Bahia in Brazil is the Spiritual headquarters of Isese religion in the Americas

Paula requests that Nígeria should invest in Isese , she insists that Nígeria is still the Mecca of Isese , so the leaders should encourage tourism “ It is always our joy to visit the home of our Ancestors “ She said
