A heated confrontation between a traditionalist and a Christian preacher caused a stir inside a commercial bus, popularly known as danfo, over a difference in their beliefs.
In a video shared on Facebook by Brian Jonah Dennis, the traditionalist could be seen and heard recording the incident as he engaged in a spirited exchange with the preacher, who was delivering a sermon to passengers.
According to the traditionalist, the preacher made comments that he perceived as derogatory toward African traditional religion and culture.
Visibly irritated, the traditionalist challenged the preacher's message, insisting he would not sit silently while his beliefs were being ridiculed. In protest, he began singing Fela Anikulapo Kuti's iconic song Yellow Fever loudly, repeatedly interrupting the preacher's flow and drawing laughter and concern from fellow passengers.
"My people make una see me o. I dey inside danfo dey go Lagos Island. This man dey preach, I no talk. But he is preaching against my tradition and my culture, and me I no gree with am. So, as he dey disturb me so, even me myself dey sing my African spirituality music," he said in Pidgin English.
The preacher, undeterred, claimed he had spiritually destroyed the traditionalist's idol, which only escalated tensions. The traditionalist responded by slamming Christianity, accusing it of being a colonial tool that undermined African values.
"Go tell them for Iran and Isrealite where dem dey kpai them. What about those in Benue State? Go and cover them with the Blood of Jesus there," he added.
