Although Akerejola was an advocate of tradition, he was not fetish. One word to describe his attitude to religion is "tolerance". He accommodated every opinion and creed. Religious leaders of various convictions were entertainen and given gifts when they paid him a courtesy call during their festival, as was the custom. He was however usually amused when fetish priests or soothsayers visited his court to "see" for him. He would listen to their stories, but afterwards instruct that the seer be given food because he knew that hunger was the motivation for their practices. However he strove to understand as much as possible about every religion. In his latter years, he learnt to read Arabic, and studied the Koran.
