Reactions trail Oloba Salo's confession
Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@Abs_D4milare stated:
"People like Ms Baba should be more responsible when discussing religion because they can easily mislead others. Still, the bigger issue is that when someone claims Islam but doesn’t actually understand or practice it properly, it creates room for confusion and wrong interpretations."
@EkyDorlyn noted:
"He left islam for traditional worship, that's like going from frying pan to fire. Only Christianity is the true human religion others are just human invention."
@ChukuImmanuel noted:
"I told my guy that you’re into religion that don’t allow you to use your language why praying in the mosque why"
@stqinless_ noted:
"I said it this morning If those Boko Haram don’t release our children and go back to the north where they come from… They will radicalize people against Islam and it will threaten our Union as a Country You Cannot Kidnap Yoruba Children In Yoruba Land.. how dare you"
@Abs_D4milare shared:
"This guy, Ms Baba, really needs to be called out for misleading people about religion. But honestly, I can’t even blame him too much. When Salo himself doesn’t seem to fully understand the Islam he claims to practice, it becomes easy for people to get confused or misled."
