Abstract

This article examines the spread of Igbe Orhe, an indigenous African religion originating in Kokori, Delta State, Nigeria, highlighting the role of healing as a mechanism for religious expansion. Departing from the perspective of religious diffusion studies, which have focused on world religions, this study analyzes how Igbe Orhe spread beyond Urhoboland through therapeutic authority and healing practices. The study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on interviews, oral traditions, and archival sources, and is explained through Achille Mbembe’s postcolonial framework. The findings indicate that Igbe Orhe developed through contagious, relocational, and hierarchical spread. Central to this process are the therapeutic authority of Ubiesha Etarakpor and the healing of Idubor, who catalyze the religion’s expansion beyond the Urhobo community. The findings also demonstrate that Igbe Orhe possesses capacities for adaptation, reproduction, and expansion comparable to those of more established religious traditions. Thus, this study challenges the assumption that Indigenous African Religions (IARs) are static and confined to local contexts. The case of Igbe Orhe demonstrates that Indigenous African Religions have the capacity to expand beyond ethnic and geographical boundaries and provide insights into the universality of religion and the decolonization of religious studies.

Abstract

The proliferation of social media has transformed online spaces into arenas of active religious persuasion, as evidenced by conversion movements organized around hashtags such as #hijrah and #SaveMaryam. This study addresses religious conversion in the era of cyber through a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of 68 purposively sampled content items drawn from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and WhatsApp, published between 2021 and 2025, encompassing both Islamic da’wa and Christian cyber evangelism. The analysis integrates Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach, and Wodak’s discourse-historical framework with digital religion theory and Rambo’s model of religious conversion. Four principal discursive strategies are identified: authenticity discourse; accessibility discourse; community discourse; and crisis discourse. These strategies constitute an integrated “persuasive ecology” in which each reinforces the others to address the cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of religious persuasion simultaneously. The findings demonstrate that cyber proselytism is not traditional religious persuasion transposed into digital form but a qualitatively new discursive formation shaped by platform affordances and algorithmic logics.
