toba:Its as if your brain is not working? A yoruba man says satan = esu, so what? The question youu should ask is when did the term 'esu' come into yoruba language, was it before or after christianity came and if it was before, what did it mean then? Rather than intelligently looking at the issue by analyzing what 'ESU' meant in yoruba culture before christianity and comparing it with the 'satan' concept of the jews like a sane man will do to justify if the two concepts relate at all, you're busy ranting 'a yoruba man will say esu= satan, muslim say asutani and bla bla'. That people use a concept does that automatically make it right? Geez what a braindead fool. |

Jenwitemi: It seems you are more interested in insults rather than checking the facts. I am good at insults upon abuses too so don't go there. Why not look at the similarities between Igbo and Yoruba language to draw your analogy. Yoruba on the left, igbo on the right: Akuko = fowl = okuko Akute = stone = okwute anyi = elephant = enyi Esu = satan= ekwensu So, denying that Esu is not satan may be erroneous. In the Yoruba mythology, is Esu the evil character or way maker? |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 4:44pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
U this guy called tudor,its as u re under a spell to insult people in order to express your self proper. See your life. U are here ranting&making a case for esu as not being satan,yet u dont believe in the existence of either,not to talk of God no? Its a matter of belief. Some will refer to God as a seen object eg cow, while others will say,hes an unseen being. Whatever u like pick&how my choice/affects your life personally i dont know.U chose not to believe a God,thats your choice&others have contrary view.So let it be. Esu=satan. Tudór: |

Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 5:58pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
toba: How has this empty barrel rant addressed issues? Do I need to believe in Esu before I know what the concept means in my culture? Were you born daft or wat? Its a matter of belief. Some will refer to God as a seen object eg cow, while others will say,hes an unseen being. Whatever u like pick&how my choice/affects your life personally i dont know.U chose not to believe a God,thats your choice&others have contrary view.So let it be. Esu=satan.Mr man, this thread is NOT about belief in god or non belief so stop blabbing off point. Esu translates as satan is a matter of belief? Soon you'll say rat translates as ekute is a matter of belief. . dont tell me you dont see how pathetically stoopid your posts are. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Jenwitemi(m): 6:31pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
To be braindead is part of the "gift/reward" of being a christian, i guess. That is the result of being spoon fed with foreign trash all one's life. Oh well. . . moving on. Tudór: |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 6:31pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
Its fast becoming a norm for loosers&ignorant pple to express themselves through insults&abussive languages,since they might have be brought up in such orientation. Example on this thread Aloy+Emeka: |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 6:32pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
Say whatever u like, thats your problem&personal challenge&how my choice affects u,i still dont know. esu is satan thats its. If u not satisfied with my conclusion u may hang yourself. I ve the right not to believe in any cultural dictate,that add no meaning to me. U are a pathetic&complicated guy&u cant be taken seriously.Scarcely will u make any post with adding insult to butress your riduculous point. How long will this nuissance act of yours last? Just because i refuse to accept your so called culture, you degenerated to such a low level? Very pathetic Tudór: |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 8:10pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
toba:*BIG FAT YAWN* so why dont you keep your daft opinions to yourself instead of coming here to challenge intelligent people who are here to discuss the etymology of the word esu. You came here claiming Jentwemi was talking ''nonsense'' feeling smart with yourself YET you cannot in any way refute his claims intelligently. Isnt it obvious you are way out of your league when all you can say to butress your point is ''Esu = satan''? Then when asked to defend it you claim its your ''choice''. Are you a fool? We deal with facts here not ''choices''. Keep your damn ''choices'' to yourself! You are free to invent your own culture and belief BUT We are talking about the yoruba culture and mythology here and if you're going to barge and start running your mouth anyhow we are gonna need facts and valid points not rubbish you invented in your head. Jeez, What an illiterate slowpoke. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by AloyEmeka5: 8:26pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
Tudór: Since you are a true believer in Yoruba mythology, so you actually believe Oduduwa fell from heaven? |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 8:33pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
This article is for genuine people who want to know what ESU meant to our forefathers and not for iidiots who wanna debate using fantasies amd ''choices'' they invented.

Aloy+Emeka:who cares if oduduwa fell from mars? We are discussing what 'ESU' means in yoruba culture/mythology or did u miss that? |

Since this is the path u like, i will follow suit Tudór:I hope u don't count your self as an intelligent person, cos your posts speaks on the contrary. this is your first post on this thread Tudór June 17, 2010, 01:22 PM ]See the 2nd post of an intelligent person Tudór:Another post of mr intelligent tudor [quote author=Tudór June 17, 2010, 01:22 PM ] Jeez, What an illiterate slowpoke. Are you a fool? your posts on this thread are not that of an intelligent person but that of a slowpoke and a pathetic fool. 'Its takes one to know one' Tudór June 17, 2010, 01:22 PM :U re very silly, my comment on this thread had nothing to do with culture. I expressed myself from a yoruba theistic view point, Which was why i said a yoruba muslim will say asutani= esu and the christian counterpart will say esu=satani. How it concerns culture i dont know Tudór June 17, 2010, 01:22 PM :Stop shouting just yesterday night (sunday) OBA sikiru Adetona was speaking on Tv condemning most of the so called cultures of the yorubas that they are against development. And the yeye esu culture u re strongly speaking for is among what the league of southwest OBAs are trying to repel. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by PastorAIO: 11:18am On Jun 21, 2010 |
I think that the way to go about this is for both parties to draw up 2 lists of attributes. The list of attributes of Esu vis a vis the list of attributes of Satan. And then we'll see how many similarities or dissimilarities there are between them. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 11:32am On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:An intelligent man is one who identifies a dolt and tells him straight to the face. That I call you a mumu is not me trying to insult you but just telling it the way it is. Keep crying. . .fool Have you ever thought ; Oh this Tudor keeps calling me a dunce, am I actually this stoopid? If you really look inwards at yourself, the answer will befuddle you. U re very silly, my comment on this thread had nothing to do with culture. I expressed myself from a yoruba theistic view point, Which was why i said a yoruba muslim will say asutani= esu and the christian counterpart will say esu=satani. How it concerns culture i dont knowYou are a capital iidiot for this statement and a PURE Illiterate. Yoruba ''theistic'' view? Do you even know what that means? In yoruba theism and divinity, what does 'ESU' stand for? Did yoruba theism ever have a character like satan of the jews? Clue: read the article I pasted, slowpoke A yoruba high chief gives an Interview and declares to be an ESU worshipper and not a satanist. Then arrongant illiterates who feel they have the right to pass judgement declare that NO, he MUST be a satan worshipper and satan = ESU. Prove and Defend your claim that satan is Esu you start running around like headless chickens claiming its your ''choice'' and ''opinion''. Stop shouting just yesterday night (sunday) OBA sikiru Adetona was speaking on Tv condemning most of the so called cultures of the yorubas that they are against development. And the yeye esu culture u re strongly speaking for is among what the league of southwest OBAs are trying to repel.Again, we are talking about the MEANING OF ESU in yoruba culture/language/mythology. Stick to the topic dimwit. This thread is to discuss what 'ESU' meant to our forefathers and find out through fact based discussions if it has anything to do with the 'satan' of the judeo christian faiths. If you have nothing intelligent to say other than the half-wit ''satan = Esu'' I suggest you take a hike. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 11:39am On Jun 21, 2010 |
Pastor AIO: Pastor AIO:GBAM! Thats the thing any sensible person who want to prove ESU is satan will do. The truth is they dont even know what esu means in the first place, rather than educating themselves they prefer to come argue blindly and scorn the traditional chief in the article. |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 4:18pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Tudór:The same way u feel about others is exactly how u tudor is being perceived by others. If U are intelligent u don't to degenerate to low level of insult and call others such as these Geez what a braindead fool. daft Tudór: And so u are as well mr Tudór:I dont need to read a copied article of which u aren't the author I gave my view based of 'theistic' aspect by which i mean 'as a theist what esu is to a Yoruba Muslim or a Christian theist. A yoruba high chief gives an Interview and declares to be an ESU worshipper and not a satanist. Then arrongant illiterates who feel they have the right to pass judgement declare that NO, he MUST be a satan worshipper and satan = ESU. [/quote]How is it ur challenge if i choose to discuss Esu without a recourse to any tradition?Tudór:Keep quite guy u are not the author of this thread neither will i take instructions from whatever nonsense u trying to prove inhere |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 4:34pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Pastor AIO: U re right pastor on the need to establish the attributes of both Esu and satan some similarities. Esu part of esu's attributes is to wrath evil, satan does likewise. More to come |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 5:25pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:No offense, calling YOU braindead isnt insult. . . Na TRUTH like I said, you can keep crying. I myself will suggest you begin to educate yourself And so u are as well mrQuite sad, coz if only you read at all to educate yourself your pathetic intellect will prolly not be where it is today. What a shame. I gave my view based of 'theistic' aspect by which i mean 'as a theist what esu is to a Yoruba Muslim or a Christian theist.oh, its no longer yoruba theism, se? I laugh you gave NOTHING! All you did was state Esu = satan = asutani=bla ba. Thats just stoopid. We await you to come tell us how Esu is the same as satan of the jews. Keep quite guy u are not the author of this thread neither will i take instructions from whatever nonsense u trying to prove inhereI seriously wonder what the rubbish above means How is it your challenge if i choose to discuss Esu without a recourse to any tradition?Oh, really? eMmm what is 'ESU' if not part of yoruba culture and tradition? Mehn you gotta wonder at the amount of stupidity on display here. . . So you are gonna discuss ESU without any ''recourse to tradition''.? You might be a genius afterall. . .pls be we await your discussion. . . This should be fun!!! |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 5:32pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:GOOD. . . I'm glad we have gone past the Esu = satan QED rant. You are finally ready to discuss intelligently Esu ''wraths evil''? Please tell us how. . . Mehn I cant wait for the 'more' to come. . . . Please dont keep us waiting. This is goonna be fun!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 6:38pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Tudór:IF the nuissance act and touting language u display on NL is what u call intelligence and education, i really pity your soul and that of those that have trained you. your brain is dead thats why u spew rants and insults here and there. Tudór:Another example of retardation, In my post above, i gave an illustration of what i meant in my post above, yet a pathetic tout and rouge called tudor have refused to accept my point, What a same to your life Tudór: what type of Esu do people say is responsible for their evil deeds? u slowpoke U see armed robbers cry on TV ise esu ni, esu lotimi si, Which esu are t6hey referring to? Tudór: . [quote][/quote] How come u think i might be a genius after calling me all sorts of names? ITs either that u make your posts under cheap weed or u re unconscious whislt representing your self on line. Go get a life |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 6:46pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Tudór: I ve always been willing to discuss intelligently like i always do. To think i will discuss with an unintelligent fellow like u is very unlikely. If AIO returns i will do that with him |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 7:01pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:keep crying. . . . You are NOT educated, its pretty obvious. Another example of retardation, In my post above, i gave an illustration of what i meant in my post above, yet a pathetic tout and rouge called tudor have refused to accept my point, What a same to your lifeyou made no point, dont kid yourself. When asked to defend your position you ran and claimed it was your ''choice''. You are indeed dumb what type of Esu do people say is responsible for their evil deeds? u slowpokeso this is your ''analysis'' to show that Esu = Satan?? What armed robbers say on TV?? And you complain when I call you dimwit? .
*BIG FAT YAWN* any man who claims he can discuss/analyse 'ESU' without a ''recourse to tradition'' must be a genius. . . . Like I said, we eagerly await the 'more' analysis that is to come from you. DONT RUN PLS I certainly cant wait. . . |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 7:09pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:Joke of the century. . . . To think i will discuss with an unintelligent fellow like u is very unlikely.So now, this is your excuse?? This is just laughable. . . Days before pastor AIO came you didnt say any smart thing all of a sudden u want us to believe you'll magically bring anything of substance to the discussion? Pssf! |

Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 7:18pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
^^^ bTW, your half-witted excuse wont fly as usual. . . Pastor suggested a list of similarities and so on, the onus is on you to provide them and show that esu = satan. We cant wait!! South Africa 2010! |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 8:00pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Tudór:on the contrary u're the uneducated chap. u only displayed lack of understanding Tudór:i did made points, its ur lack of understanding that have blindfolded u from seeing them Tudór:ode. i asked a question on the kind of esu pple link there misfortunes to. u ignorantly termed it to something else Tudór:u bi proper mumu. someone who knows nothings about tradition,but based hs/hr understanding from religious angle cant discuss esu abi? he/she sti l needs to be a genius? i pity ur reasoniing mentality Tudór:who are the we? i can see its only u that have challenged me since yestday. oh sorry, i see that u are 2 in one. a male, having the photograph of a female in his profile&also (f) inscription in front of his name no? better still she.male/papiwater |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Nobody: 8:22pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Tudór:OMG What kind of a pathetic slowpoke are u. Where on this thread did Pastor AIO suggest any list of 'similarities and so on'? He said both parties should draw up¬ that he suggested any list of attributes to either of us.learn to be scrupulous Pastor AIO: |
Re: Yes, I Worship Esu, But I’m Not Satanic by Tudor6(f): 9:03pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
toba:Did this fool actually go to school?? Where did I imply pastor AIO suggested a list of attributes to us? Here is the quote ; . . . .''pastor suggested a list of similatities and so on, the onus is on you to provide them and show that esu = satan'' i suggest you read it again then come back to me. Clue: read the bolded part and determine the implication on the meaning of that statement. Goodluck |
