"...but is most present in the indigenous cultures of the world". You really can't say that sort of thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.11.77.197 (talk) 19:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a couple of sections from the article. The first really was not relevant to Egungun, but was about ancestor worship. Even if you concede the argument that 95% of the world's population practices it, it really belongs in the ancestor worship article, preferably with a citation or two.

The other section is a first person account of the benefits of ancestor worship. If included, it really should be written in a more encyclopedic fashion and, as before, put in the appropriate article. PerlKnitter (talk) 20:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
