The demonization of Esu as Satan has left a lasting legacy, echoing through generations and across continents. The consequences of this colonial narrative extend beyond religious misinterpretation; they permeate cultural identity, social cohesion, and personal spirituality. African communities, both on the continent and in the diaspora, have grappled with the stigma and marginalization of their traditional beliefs.
