Senseless question!

The people of hate and spite are ready to contradict African culture to promote a futile agenda.

A staff is the epitome/embodiment of power in African culture.

Have these ignorant folks promoting mischief heard of "the staff of office"?

God help the agents of division and hate!

GEJ 2015: BLESSING OR CURSE?

Yoruba Oba's don't bless someone by pointing their staff at the person. When a staff of an Oba is pointed at someone, that is a curse.

THIS IS HOW YORUBA OBA'S BLESS..SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

SO, IT IS RIGHT TO SAY OBA'S HAVE CURSED GEJ?

In both cases, they where pointing staff of office. In one case,the number was more.

When a king blesses and prays for a fellow king, the scenario is different from when a king blesses a child or his subject.

Staff of authority can either be use to curse or bless. .
depending on what on the king mind and what comes out of their mouth doing the ceremony.

The two pictures show kings pointing or placing a staff of authority on someone. what will determine if it is a curse or blessing is what comes out of their mouth.

even the Bible say life and death are in the power of the mouth.
Because of the numerous number of kings present doing Jonathan's blessing its totally impossible to place the staff of authority on him.

Open your eyes guys..

No Oba points his staff at another Oba. Not even his walking staff.

Apc and its supporters disgust me. They make me sick to my stomach. Must you fools read meanings into everything? I begin to wonder whether some of you were brought into this world through anal sex. Buhari is not half the man president Gej is and will ever be. At 72 he has absolutely nothing to offer Nigerians. A man who failed as a military head of state will surely fail as a civilian president. He's a serial loser. Apc as a party should be auctioned and the money realized from its auction,should be used to feed the beggars and almajiris in Daura, Osun state where tinubu comes from and Rivers state where driver general Amaechi comes from. My 1000 cowries opinion.

@ Post,

In saner climes, during re-election campaign, incumbents use the opportunity to visit areas and zones where they have made the most impact in their first terms.

In Nigeria, our incumbent President uses the future English tense of "I will do". In the absence of any notable project outside the FCT he can only rely on any symbolic element of pre-election goodwill which some citizens have alleged are heavily being paid for.

Whether they are cursing or praying for him, he would definitely not know. At this junction, I assume his mind was on the next set of supposed influential trado-religious entities he would be visiting next for the repeat of a similar pasquinade.

As a non Yoruba, it is difficult to figure the import of pointing wooden staff to someone in an occassion like this. But i have the impression that the rites were proper as there were elderly Yorubas in GEJ's delegation that would have resisted any thing contrary to the norms. No cause for alarm!

GEJ is less concerned about the Yoruba culture.

If he were enlightened enough, he would have corrected the Obas, but he needed the show more than the prayers or curses.

Well, vote not fight still

So in ♍γ̲̣̣ very opinion, I will say its their point of contact from govt being used to being used to bless him in return.

I know they use Opa ase to make a pronouncement on someone



But those are walking stick and not Opa ase
Opa ase is longer than this because its used to send message to another person showing that it has the Oba seal
And its sometimes house the Oba crown at the top.



So what the Oba are holding is not Opa ase but their walking stick



GEJ has being scammed

HIS POLITICAL STOOGES TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS MUMUISM.
