Man’s worship of Ogun with palm oil draws mockery online

A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after mocking another man for pouring palm oil on iron tools and bowing to them as Ogun, part of his belief system.
The incident, which has been trending on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has drawn mixed reactions from users.
In the viral post, a man shared a photo of the objects he worships, claiming they represent Ogun, the Yoruba god of iron.
He captioned the post:
“Na wetin I believe on be this OGUN (God of iron). This one too real, you go see wetin you dey follow talk 1 v 1, no be ghost. Lmao.”
However, another user quoted the post, ridiculing his faith and criticizing the arrangement.
The comment read: “You gather car spare parts wey dem arrange for Japan, you pour palm oil on top am, you dey bow to am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Insanity wey pass this one never dey, ajeh.”
The reaction quickly gained traction, with many users storming the comments section to share their opinions.

While some supported the criticism, others defended the man’s beliefs, emphasizing the importance of respecting individual faiths.
See some reactions below:
@001Rcfv: “But you believed in people who bow for Mary and some who throw stones to Rock right.”
@xquire147: “If I send that spare parts message give you, you fit no see tomorrow.”
@WilsonDeborah5: “But somehow you believe eating wafers and drinking wine absolves you from sin. Okay.”
@ayoni55: “In ondo town they don’t joke with ogun fr, it’s very potent but there’s a real one too it’s em old blacksmiths that use to have it, ogun is a big diety in ondo town like it’s very potent it doesn’t take days to deliver judgement tbh.”
@ZeniDavinci: “Allow people believe in whatever they want to believe in, it’s not proper to make mockery of other people’s beliefs. Indians believe in a lot of things and they don’t use it to worry anybody. As long as he’s not disturbing you with his beliefs don’t make mockery of it.”
@OmowaleIfamosun: “The parts could be manufactured in Japan, but that iron still comes from our natural resources. Is like chemistry, when you are sick you bow to doctor to give you pills from China, is not the holy spirit making your body feel better.”
@paulworduma: “You forget that when a thing is sanctified it ceases to be that which it is and takes the form of that which it’s sanctified unto. That iron you see in that picture is no longer an iron. I’m sure you understand this.”
