mulattoclaro:lol! All these insults because I didn't find any sense in your post. It must really hurt to be as dumb as you. I won't even bother answering you anymore. You are in way over your head and your long grammar(that I doubt you even know the meaning) will have no standing if I decide to engage you. But, I honestly don't have time. So, trot along now. God bless you |

Nigerians love politicizing everything and sometimes make fun of serious issues. If as is being claimed that the obas are cursing Jonathan when they are supposed to be blessing him, what is there to celebrate?. This should rather be an opportunity to demand the change we want. These are supposed to be leaders of thought. Is it right, for goodness sake, that people are here celebrating what they call scam instead of rebuking it and revelling in another man's perceived misfortune? What a nation? SMH! |

Little did he know that they were cursing him by doing this. He thinks he can fool us in South West. |

I think his intention was not necessarily to ridicule himself, but rather to ridicule the obas and yorubas in general. He's been in this pose a gazillion times, there is nothing new about it, what's new is his location and company. Hence the dichotomy we're seeing here. he was trying to pull a fast one on the obas, they also pulled a fast one on him in return. |
Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by tswitch: 6:16pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
Whoever created this thread did not watch the clip or just fabricated the sensational story for mischievous gains and to mislead people. Oba Sijuade said "...We are going to perfom a rite we only perform for those that are our own,Mr. President sit on that chair..." That was when all Obas stood up with their staffs of office to face him. (All after Mauzu's elaborate speech). Channels TV and NTAi showed the complete clip yesterday evening much to my indignation I might add. Ordinary people (at least not as important as Goodluck) are ones blessed by the horsetail all over Nigeria. OP in case you are not aware Ooni is a card carrying member of the PDP and is one of the richest monarchs of our time and his daughter Princess Sijuade is a faithful GEJ supporter. You are african and you know what lying on traditional ruler means ko? I wish you luck in dealing with any repercussion of this balant lie. |

Jonathan is going everywhere for prayers. Ekanka, guru mahraji,c and S, pastor mouka, oba's.he jus dey collect curse as souvenir. |
Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by kolmart: 6:23pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
Leave the Obas alone they are getting their own share of the national cake which is over due. Can an oba direct your or me to vote for a certain Political party? They can only do that to their palace staff. No matter prayer they made for GEJ is just for the Ghana must go receive from him they ve all lost their relevances in their domain 1 Like |

tswitch: "our own" meaning what? explain. A Yoruba will not point his stick at another Yoruba and have it mistaken for prayer or blessing. btw, post your link since there are many of you typing fantasy on the thread. Mr. President sit on that chair..." That was when all Obas stood up with their staffs of office to face him. (All after Mauzu's elaborate speech). I think nollywood might consider this your script. You are african and you know what lying on traditional ruler means ko? looking at the current state of Nigeria till now, all Nigerians must have "lied on traditional rulers", else how do you explain what you see? I wonder who lied to produce boko haram, the armed robbers, 419ers, yahoo yahoos, other types of scammers, no roads, no water, no light, etc? |

itstpia8: I had already given you my sources. They have websites you know. This is not relayed information a lot of Nigerians watched it so what do you have to gain by being untruthful? Go and check the website and stop brandishing untruths. |

tswitch: You must be smoking igbe. If a Yoruba "blesses" you with his staff, just go and pray. |

annylove: If God has indeed blessed him, why is he going to man for more blessings? Whom my forefather's gods want to destroy, they first make mad. Why is he hopping from church to obas (canvas for orishas)? He might as well visit Fayose's babalawo. 1 Like |

Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by itstpia8: 6:48pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
tswitch: you are the one lying here. This is the clip you're referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNEtRc8Ghrg Ooni's exact words were: there is something we do at the source, which is not done in any other part of Yorubaland. I hope you can decipher what he was saying? Did you notice the emphasis on SOURCE and the subsequent qualifiers which mentioned it is NOT practiced by any other part of yorubaland? And the pause BEFORE he called on the obas to point their sticks? are you viewing the clip with understanding or with something else? |
Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by tswitch: 6:55pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
itstpia8: Reading punch online now. http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-visits-ooni-monarch-demands-oduduwa-state/ I remember him asking for Odua state and Ile-Ife or so should be the capital. Mimiko and Agricultural minister were there, do you know tradition more than them? In my place those staffs yorubas call Opa are called Okwure (spelling sucks I know) but you dare not fabricate such lies against Oba Ne' Edo! |

itstpia8: Thank you for helping me and quoting completely (don't forget i watched it last night) thank God you can now see that is an uncommon blessing so it has shown all your earlier posts and comments as pure propaganda. Most importantly GOODLUCK WAS BLESSED BY THE OONI AND HIS OBAS. Thank you for the video and for proving my right once again. PS: How do I get videos on youtube? |
Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by Swiftboy(m): 7:08pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
bilms:so you dont know the difference between staff of authority and a mare horse tail {irukere}. Horse tail is for greeting someone when they're recieving the person's humility. They call the staff opa-ase,it means whatever they say will come to pass whether curse or prayer. |
Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by Swiftboy(m): 7:14pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
cg053:liar! It would have been called opa epe [cursed staff] going by what you said. Yoruba kind actuall use the horsetail to wave or to recieve homage. The staff works depending on what they're saying. Am from a royal family so I know. You these APC supporters are just plain propaganda generators.lol |

These shows the world how hypocritical the yoruba are. people that can never be trusted. Just kindly know that your oba's are not God but evil fetish men. |
