A social media post has stirred widespread discussion after a man shared photos showing a pastor conducting a baptism while, on the opposite riverbank, a traditionalist performed her own rituals.
In the post on Facebook, user Senior Pikin shared two striking images capturing the unusual scene.
He wrote: “A pastor took his church members to the riverbank for a special deliverance service and baptism. As they arrived, they looked across the river and saw something unexpected.
“On the opposite riverbank, a female traditionalist surrounded by her followers was performing her rituals by the same river that very day. True true… water no get en3my.”
The post quickly attracted reactions, with netizens sharing a mix of humour, reflection, and philosophical musings.
Some comments took a humorous tone. Thaddy wrote: “Water no get enemy until you fall inside oshimiri.”
Brown joked: “Ehn nau, make the church members wait make the traditionalists perform their rituals finish. Na first come first serve.”
Others offered more reflective insights. Big-Cliff noted: “Las Las, everybody go realize say na thesame GOD dem dey fain.”
Godwyn added: “Different roads that lead to the same destination… End Times.”
Ade Oyo remarked: “You do ur own you call am baptism, I do my own you call am ritual. Issokay.”
Some comments delved into societal and historical critique. Desmond wrote: “They came, saw our way of life, colonized us, rebranded what they found, and introduced us to what they wanted us to be in order to control us.
“How can someone you can’t freely enter their country promise you a better place in heaven after you suffer on earth, while they live comfortably here? Go listen to Fela: kolomentality.”
