Olu317:
Yes, he became a spirit after he was defeated. This is what is stated by ifaodu. So,there are spiritbeings sent by Eledumare to go upon earth and heaven.

In the ancient,he came like police to pick people up whose time were up when sin arrived on earth after the law of Eledumare was broken or disobeyed. One day, he came and was defeated.

Olu317:
The examples you mentioned are not necessarily what the names means from its original conceptualization.

Ikúmúyi (lkú mú iyi-death caught this particular one up) or ikú mu iyi(death consume /drank this particular one up) are not the meaning. Rather, ikú mọ́ uyi(death knows this particular one; hence he/she is untouchable) .

Ikúṣeka is same with the purposeful positive translation and not negative of it. Hence death has been curtailed and not death did evil.

Yoruba ancestors are well knowledgeable about their environment and cosmology. So, no name came to be in existence without proper ifa divination,which leads to names that are given in accordance to cirmumstances of any child birth.

The new Mid 1800s when colonialists came led to this distortion by new converts for both Muslims and christians converts which makes people bear names as they like.

Are you aware Elúwa(Olúwa) or Elú(Olú) is a name of Orúnmílà who also bear Ẹlà as a name ? Yoruba ancestors were more cordinated and thorough than the modern day ones.

Humble25:
Some Women are heartless, why is it that this beating of a child to death always involve women?

SweetDipBenny:
Forget dat thing. Women una get mind

ibkayee:
Or what will happen? He'll come and report her on Nairaland? Lol

Silentgroper:
if a man works multiple jobs and still helps d woman in whatever domestic activities. Tell me, who is doing more?

zedegit:
Bleep your opinion. You can travel out where that nonsense happens.

Wake up one morning homeless because your wife called cops on your miserable self.

For me, it's the woman's duty to handle domestic chores because I am African!

Maynman:
I’ll need stats then.

Silentgroper:
If u're provided with an opportunity to choose btw solely providing for d family or solely being in charge of domestic chores and other home activities. Which would u choose?

Maynman:
People live within their means. Most men i know are sole providers.

Okonandmary:
Really, according to statistics here in Nigeria.

The number of males that are wage earners is (65.67%) when compared to women (34.33%). Apparently, majority of working men are sole providers.

So where is your a lot coming from?

Maynman:
In which country are majority rich and are sole providers?

Silentgroper:
Yeah well, if making money is that simple, ya'll should take it up.. How long does it take to cook, clean and do other home domestic whatnots..

atheistandproud:
In my experience, and I mean no offense. Most ladies will SAY that they can never share their man with anyone.

In practice however, most ladies will openly go after a married man with kids. Many will claim that they were deceived but this is not true for most of them.

Even women knowingly attempt to snatch their friends man or date him alongside their friend secretly.

Why is it that women fight over community joysticks instead of just leaving them for a decent man?

Most (not all) women have no reservations on polygamy. It just isn't politically correct to say it yet but we'll get there in time.

Maynman:
How did you arrive at “most”?

Most married people I know can afford to be sole providers.

Okonandmary:
So how many of them are helping out with the bills

Silentgroper:
Well there cant be two adults at home and only one is tasked with the financial stability of the home...

ibkayee:
I won't be surprised if she pays bills in the house as well attending to all domestic work.

The average Nigerian man has convinced himself he is a sole provider and will often role play as one online lol

The everyday women we see working in all sectors are not throwing their money into the ocean

Anyway looks like it's playful banter between them

sukkot:
charle tell us how the nigerian would blow out the whole office during lunch time with smell of abula and iru and shaki

Skyeyeye:
Why don't you counter me without insult? Let's see how dumb I am.

Skyeyeye:
Not every Nairalander is dumb after all.

yuzjet:
This looks more spiritual. How could you shot an innocent woman just like that?

No matter what happens, the police man should be hanged with immediate effect.

staga:
All these people saying they stopped attending church for all kinds of reasons are just jokers.

Do you quit your profession or your job because of "pretences" or because you have a bad co-worker or boss? Many people are still working under toxic environments because they need the money.

I am not in church because of a pastor or someone. So it will take a monumental reason to stop me from attending church. I am yet to see such reason. After, some stopped listening or following Jesus because they were offended at Him.

Slickchuma1:
This is very nice.
