ezeagu: It doesn't matter. Got any posts for us? Actually it does. I'm Igbo and have been scouring the web for information on Odinani/Omenala. The resources I've found have been few and far between and I haven't found any practitioners on this board. I was hoping you are one. Anyways, guess you're not, following your thread sha |

aManFromMars: I can understand your frustration. Igbo Dbias are being shunned by their own people. Many Igbos these days don't resepct elders and priests. Due to lack of encouragement, Igbo Dbias have not been able to take maximum advantage of social media, like Yoruba Babalawos or even Akan Priests from Ghana. |

PAGAN 9JA: Maybe because missionaries came into igboland and tore down the shrines of our fearsome gods - and they did absolutely nothing! Ishilove: Repent, for the kingdom of God is close at hand!!! |

PAGAN 9JA: Warreva Lemme give you guys a little gem of wisdom... Judges 6:31 31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. Stop acting as apologists for ATR. If they are gods, let them dookie it out by themselves with the God from Israel who broke into their own turf, and took over... That's all. |
Re: Nigerian 'paganism' Thread by PAGAN9JA(m): 9:59pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
rapture_ready: what wisdom dude? whats the wisdom in this? When churches were being destroyed and christians fed to lions by the Romans, where was your israeli god? Do you think a God is a human to fight over material things such as altars? You dont get religion. It is not the Gods that depend on humans, it is the opposite. your israeli god is losing hold over the world. europe is almost on the pathway to Atheism or neo-Paganism. |

rapture_ready: strong zombie. where is that bigot Mynd_44 when you need him? He is great at banning atheists and Pagans for "derailing". *hypocrite. |

@Topic, Op, aManfromMars, check out this video: (Its in Igbo but with translations. I encourage even non-Igbos to watch it. It has a good message) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k41WaI05f8w |

OlaoChi:Whatever happened to free thinking?!? #smh |
Re: Nigerian 'paganism' Thread by raptureready: 11:20pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
OlaoChi: Well, you gotta admit, it's pretty ominous the way them missionaries came, declared them powerless - and went ahead to back up their claims by destroying their shrines and alters... If amadioha had roasted the first missionary who came near his shrine with fire, do you think our forefathers will have turned to worship God? |
Re: Nigerian 'paganism' Thread by lanaVello1(m): 11:21pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
Btw,i think paganism goes beyond what y'all are talking about{igbo,yoruba and domestic gods}. That word has a broader scope-like the polytheism part of it-I stand to be corrected though |
Re: Nigerian 'paganism' Thread by PAGAN9JA(m): 11:25pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
rapture_ready: Dude, Lord Amadioha won't just descend from the Skies in A Chariot and roast the missionary. The Gods work in their own ways. And btw not all our forefathers converted ok? My forefathers didnt bow to any foreign god, for example. Anyways the reason they converted was due to brainwashing, bribery (money, food, schools, etc.), peer pressure from society (e.g., parents usually were coerced into conversion after their children converted) , fake illusions of modernity,greed, slave trade, etc. |

lana_Vello: Btw,i think paganism goes beyond what y'all are talking about{igbo,yoruba and domestic gods}. What do you mean by 'domestic Gods' The Gods are Universal. It is just the names they are referred to by and the rituals , etc., associated with the particular Gods that differs from tribe to tribe based on the language , culture, etc. E.g., Sango is loosely equal to Amadioha who is losely equal to Thor ,etc. 1 Like |
