Bible speaks against the word "fool" in Matthew, osisi tongue

The Bible also calls a fool a fool.

babyosisi:

In the old days,I heard osus could not go to the market places and people burnt down their houses.
Is that happening now?

Re-ea-ally??! shocked You mean the 'osus' suffered this kind of deprivation? Wow! I must say one thing though, this is the first time you have admitted in deatil that you know a bit about what they actually went through. Most of the time, you have chosen to gloss over the issue. Ah, well. . . . !

babyosisi:

If you burn down someone's house you are prosecuted.
Do you want people to be arrested and charged to jail for failing to marry someone?
You really do amuse me

Are we talking about the same law, that you initially cited in your previous post?? That law says nothing about burning down of houses. Please check it again! On the other hand, arson is a criminal offence according to the laws of the Fedral Republic of Nigeria. It doesn't matter if the person whose house was burnt, is an osu or a diala, the offence carries the penalty of imprisonment. The laws on arson, were not drawn up to end the discrimination against the 'osu.'

People like you, thiefofheart, are her enablers. She knows she can talk all the shit she wants about yorubas and you'll over look it and continue chatting with her. I haven't seen you condemn her once for all that crap she wrote, instead, you are focusing on me.

This is the same person talking crap about people going off topic. Useless cannibalist girl.

Chei. . . . Oh Laud grin.You are really clutching at straws here.Where is your brain. "In the old days,it was illegal for a women to climb up a palm tree",hey that must mean an admission that I have seen such discrimination. Old days. . .Laud,sure you know the difference

Unless you are someone under a new name, you are obviously very new. Look up my former posts and see my history with osisi. If there's one thing that I wont let anyone deny on Nairaland is my arguements with osisi. So seriously dude, stop playing yourself.
We arent even talking about all that tribal crap anymore, the topic is back to osu, so either you give your piece on that alone or leave the thread.

Laudate,do you want people prosecuted for failing to marry another?
Discrimination against osus because they were termed osus was addressed.
do you want the various things that make up discrimination spelt out?

Why is this topic of special interest to you that everyone else must somehow be misguided in their opinions except you?
I don't like dishonest people.
When someone understands somethings and pretends not to just to score a cheap point,that's dishonesty.

In the USA murder is a felony but when proven that it was a hate crime due to race,the sentence is harsher.
do you get it now?

Yes I am new and I am not aware that you have had run-ins with her in the past. She will continue this behavior (like she has today) until someone does something drastic about it or she is banned from this forum.

babyosisi, you are just a useless tribalist. Anyone that'll say something like that unprovoked is a tribalist.

you can't hate unless you have a hateful heart.

I just hope you don't pass your trait to your children. agbaya olooorun

Are you by any chance related to xtycod ? he is a phenomenal tribalist like you.
