... We have a lot of black people there and many of them are devotees of Osun, Sango, Obatala, Ogun, Yemoja and other deities. Two states named after gods! 1 Like |

^sometimes, a river really is, just a river. the state of Mississippi is also named after a river. likewise, lagos means lagoon, and kaduna is named for the river kaduna. |

Paul John:, ògún god of thunder is different from ò g ù n the state. |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by PAGAN9JA(m): 7:16pm On Jan 21, 2013 |
lekkie073: , The state is named after a river which is named after a God. |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by lekkie073(m): 7:36pm On Jan 21, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA:which god? i believe u r not refering to thegid if thunder....their pronunciation is different o |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by tpia5: 11:46pm On Jan 21, 2013 |
pagan The rivers preceded the gods, unless you want to argue otherwise. And as was pointed out, one of the rivers is not the deity. |

lekkie073: Its still derived from the same thing! |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:58pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
tpia@: are you dey craze? THe Gods existed way before the materialistic river did! that is just a pronounciation difference. after all, what other meaning does Osun have? |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by lekkie073(m): 10:40am On Jan 23, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA:i doubt if u know anything about yoruba history. osun state is named after d osun river which is also named after d goddess osun. ogun state is named after d ogun river which is not named after d god of iron( ogun). ogun river derived its name from ogun which(charm). if u r a yoruba linguist u will definitely know the difference between ogun, god of iron and ogun, charm. now u r very dumb by saying the gods preceeded d rivers all rivers are created from time immemorial. river niger which yorubas call odo oya was named after sango's wife oya who immediately after d demise of sango entered d river and was not seen again. naming rivers after gods is symbolic. it does not mean the particular god created that river. r u learning, mr pagan whatsoeva? |

lekkie073: ok then please explain to me what this Ogun Charm is all about and plz dont act stu.pid and put words into my mouth. I never mentioned the Creator Force Olodumare. we all are aware that the creation of the river was due to the influence of Olodumare, the Creator Force.I too am well aware of the fact that the rivers are symbolically named after Gods. Hweverm, this does not mean that the Gods came after the rivers. for example, Shango, the force Destruction/war,etc., has existed forever, Hoever it is the Yorubas who named this Spiritual Force as Shango , after their King . (possibly). This God of Destruction and war had a different Yoruba name before that. just remember this. so tit is just the name that changes, however the Spiritua Force remains forever. Shango is called Mithras by the Ancient Persians or Mercury by the GReeks. It is all the same thing. i hope you are learning mrs lekkie whatsoever. . |

PAGAN 9JA:p yoruba is a language dats problematic when u dont understand d phonetical melody dat goes with words ogun(god of iron and war) has the 'do' and 'mi' on the vowels respectively ogun(the state) has do do respectively so is ogun which is charm |
Re: Soyinka Takes Osun Groove Water For Brazilian Worshippers by PAGAN9JA(m): 3:01pm On Jan 24, 2013 |
lekkie073: p ok that is fine, but what is this charm you talk about? |
