Virus99: The problem is that you are too wise and proud to stoop low and ask your creator for help. Can a pot say to the potter "what have you created?". Does an ant understand physics or dna? God's wisdom beats yours infinitely, yet in your critically low wisdom, you think you are wiser enough to question him. If you were God, you would have destroyed someone who behaves as you do but he loves you so you are still alive hoping that you will repent before your time is up on earth. God loves you as well as all those who had unfortunate experiences in life. He allowed his own son jesus to suffer immensely for the salvation of mankind from Adam till the last man. I can't explain all your questions but I know that even eternity isn't sufficient to explain why God allows evil sometimes. But evil shall perish eventually. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Oyine, you didn't add these: 1) When you whistle at night EKINIBI will visit you and dance at your doorstep. 2) When you sweep at night you sweep away your fortune 3) When you thread needle at night you're inviting evil to yourself 4) Splitting salt on the table even accidentally is bringing bad luck to your family. It's all BS but we believed it as kids. |

odun51587:Aleku is the spirit of the ancestors. It's represented by a masquerade that appears at funerals or sometimes at some special festival. It speaks in deep parables and sayings which is translated by a man close to the masquerade. The voice is altered by putting some stuff in his mouth...so only the interpreter really hears and understand... In the times past, foreigners and women are forbidden from seeing Alekwu, but nowadays the culture isn't so tight... During burials as soon as the Alekwu is approaching all females are locked in...until the body is lowered to Earth. Hope you now have a bit of knowledge... Cheers 2 Likes 1 Share |
