We believe that if you do something wrong, when you get to heaven, you will be punished. From our literature, there is nowhere where hell is mentioned. At the gate of heaven and earth, people will be questioned. 3days ago I was still telling someone I only know of 2 things God created "heaven and Earth".......... Hell is just a fiction by the white to scare us. |

Cultural Independence. A starting point for Knowledge of Self. He taught in Boston and Havard, they accumulate what we have rejected and they sponsors other things to keep us in a state of self-rejection so that we do not rise up again. Anything that is original to us, they psych us to reject it and they take it over. The tattoos some of our grandparents had, is being exported to us after they stole it from us. 3 Likes |

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said President Muhammadu Buhari must meet with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, before the ongoing crisis gets out of hand. Talking to Newsweek, Obasanjo, who as president met with Niger Delta militant leaders in 2006 to stop attacks on oil installations, said: “I don’t see anything wrong in that [Buhari meeting with Kanu]. I would not object to that; if anything, I would encourage it. “I would want to meet Kanu myself and talk to people like him, people of his age, [and ask:] ‘What are your worries?’ Not only from the southeast but from all parts of Nigeria.” He said the Army’s “heavy boot” response to pro-Biafra sentiment is “not the solution” and added that the secession craved by IPOB, is not the way forward either. “We need to satisfy the youth in job creation, in wealth creation, in giving them a better, fulfilled life, in giving them hope for the future. There’s no easy way out,” Obasanjo added. |

jantavanta: Exactly. I read a quote here from a nairalander once, he said "why put a tattoo on black skin, it doesnt look nice". In my mind I was like see this brainwashed fool. The whites copied tattoos and piercings from africa. My grandmothers whole back was covered in tattoos right from when she was a preteen. Absolutely stunning. 2 Likes |

kudos to Prof. people keep condemn IFA people and traditional worshipers but I came to realisation that they are the most disciplined. an IFA man went forbsenate and never stole anything but our Muslim christian senators that are committed to the religions are the biggest thieves. thanks Prof for shedding more light on indigenous religion ,I'm able to learn so well. Oyinbos practise Scientology,Jewish,etc and they don't condemn each other or shouting someone will go to hell. kudos to prof again. if it were our generation,we would appreciate your honesty more. people of those days were clueless but you are more appreciated by our generation today sir. 4 Likes |
