Idiotic slowpoke, can u create the power behind the wind? That's Oya
Can you create Metallic elements? That's Ogun
Dumb illiterates like urself would never have sense because of such absurd religions That require u to symbolically drink and eat a Jewish man's blood and flesh - new age of cannibalism
Ur dumb god is seeking for men to remain relevant...GODS don't need men, men need them

White people also have at one point practised Polytheistic religions (like the Vikings and their Norse Gods or the Greeks and the Mt. Olympus Gods). If you have ever watched the show "Vikings" you would see how obsessed Floki is with the "Gods".


bwahahahhahahahha.....vikings..bwahahahah...did you know tht the original vikings were black-men,,,,bwahahahahah,,,

go ask flavor flave......bwahahahahaha

So d human mind now has colours? Ur case is hopeless grin
Btw, have u ever stayed in or visit Europe or America? Or even Asia or Australia. Do u have cacausoid friends? Just tot I should ask.

Or r u one of those who get info from maniacal blac movement websites? Secondly, don't u think u're being racist? Bitter over trivial tins

are you white??

only a white-person would write,what you wrote...ohhh yes,a black-person can have a white-mind,we blacks are starting to learn this now...

Are u allergic to d color white? And who said its d white race that depicted d orishas dat way? Do u read b4 u comment? D artist is a black guy. Leave white pple alone. Is d color white exclusive to white pple alone? Obatala is not represented as a white man. Don't knw wat u're seeing.

ohhhhh yes,,anything white,gives me nightmares.....i always avoid them,...

It is a good thing to strive to preserve our cultural identities (except some really detestable ones of cos). The thread is not for u to bash anybody. Gosh! Why can't we have sense? And why insulting Christ? Did u see Christ in d article? Or did xtians tell u not to be proud of ur identity?
There's no slave mentality (except in d minds of a few deviants here and there). If u're one of dem, den speak 4 urself n not d majority.



Pls read d few excerpts by d artist. Ur pedantic sentiments r quite unnecessary. Its a beautiful work of art. The only correct representation of a deity would be a blank picture (except in our minds cos d mind can't have a blank concept of d supernatural).
No matter how u choose to represent them, its still a representation or interpretation and these can vary. Rememba that d art was not done by yoruba obas or chiefs, so no need getting 2 emotional. Its just how d artist chose 2 represent dem in his own way. He's not undermining yoruba culture or anybody.

wowwww..you talk like a white-person.....nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,,,,go fvck your self...

There's no massive conspiracy by the 'white' race to undermine anybody. That anti-oyibo mentality would not take anybody anywhere. No need being bitter and blaming all our woes on pple who're somwhere doing their thing and probably do not care or care to know abt ur existence.
Nobody is dragging superiority with anybody.
Well, as Soyinka said, the tiger does not go abt ranting abt its tigritude. Rather, it acts.
Same should go 4 all so-called black power movement this and that.
Trust me, a lot of them r motivated by inferiority complex and misinformation. U guys hype white guys too much. Tf?

bwahahaha....WE ARE TE WATCH-MENS...our job is to expose you as the devil,the bible is talking about,,,,hype you...pahhhhh..



you are already loosing..just just dont know......you dont suppose to,,even what i am writing know,will make no sense to you...

I hope that this is a huge joke. Original Vikings were very Nordic Germanic speaking white men and women.

What racist craps from an obviously unintelligent savage (irrespective of their colour).

Anyone who based their judgements on the colour of anyone's skin is obviously racist scum!

How very, very true! In all my travels over the world I have known many very nice people of ALL colours and sadly a few total assholes, again of many colours!

But they end up hurting themselves more than others! Imagine a world where I was disaffected with everyone of a different colour from me? You could not really travel very far, work effectively internationally, etc. But then, I forget, racists lack the intelligence to do these things anyway!
