Just In: Catholic Priest Abandons Christianity, Embraces Traditional Worship in Anambra
A former Catholic priest of 17 years, Dr Echezona Obiagbaosogu, said he has resigned from his position as a priest to embrace African traditional religion.
Obiagbaosogu, who teaches African Traditional Religion at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, in Anambra State, said he was fascinated by the traditional African spirituality and the art of rainmaking.
After defending his PhD Dissertation titled “Rainmaking and Control in Igbo African Medicine,” on Wednesday, he said Africa possesses enormous resources and value which have been eroded by colonial powers.
He disclosed that he spent several months studying under a renowned native doctor, learning the intricacies of the craft, adding that he conducted research intending to recover the lost African values.
