Nostradamus:
thanks sir. One ondo lady told me yesterday evening that aura is suura(i don't know if i get the spelling correctly).

So aura can be said to be isonilojo

gatiano:
Thankyou brother, it really shows who you are, you are not a skin naive person, not a racist, anyways blacks can't be racist. we never in history saw the tone of any man's skin, the blackman never did. then who brought the idea of seperation? this one african, that one sub sahara, that one mestizo, that one aboringinal, that one brown, the other yellow and etc, who brought all this idea into the planet? they even seperated the animals into colour. well if colour didn't matter in religion, why was it necessary for the white man to paint Jesus white? all of the prophets? that white Jesus is what brought lower self esteem into the minds of the blackman? it made the blackman feel he was the devil, The Yoruba's most even thought that the esu is the devil. Then we called on GOD, And He answered, and HE told us all histories of all histories with facts and proof. That was the end of the white supremacy. we must tell it as it is brother. we must awaken ourselves and stop bleaching our skins and wigging our hairs and stop condemning everything and anything made by the blackman, except music made by blackman in a foreign land.

OlaoChi:
They've started exposing themselves

OlaoChi:
A so called fool that is actually far more intelligent than a history inventor keep up your emotional outbursts
you are no intellectual, an intellectual knows how to defend his position with facts

OlaoChi:
Observation of a natural phenomena, that is not the point of interest for African Historians. Observation of cultural practices should be, so what observations have you made? MetaPhysical brought Prostration

what is this man saying? who talked about charles darwin here? what brought about evolution? if you have qualms with biology that is your problem. You obviously cannot tell that there is a difference between Biology and History. you called me a fool, i do not need to stoop to your low level by trading insults with someone who is ignorant and emotional about being TAUGHT a new thing. instead of mentioning metaphysic you should have come straight to do your sly attacks like a man


everything is wrong when you propagate ideas to be facts and insult those who question you and ask for evidence. if you have any dignity you would be ashamed of yourself. I will say it again, you are an Inventor of History and that makes you fake because history is not to be invented, it is not a field of ideas but findings.

IranjeIdita:
If you read my exchanges with the other person you would realize it was just a banter around why therr were male & female oduduwa.

He asked what creation myth & I referenced the one in Ifa about cock & sand.

If you want, go back to see what the banter was about. I lack energy yo begin a restructure of what was said before.

Enjoy.

absoluteSuccess:


Alright brother.

I'm not intending to be a jerk, but do you see different Oduduwa at these places and whatever link them as one or separate them as entity?

And what do you mean by 'we recognise the creation story'? There are many recognised creation stories, I need to know the one in reference here.

Iranjedita

How many people are called Oduduwa in total, do you know?

I see them as different people and Oduduwa-ship as a status to be attained.

The creation story in Ifa - rooster, sand, water, obatala, palm wine and stuf

IranjeIdita:
The creation story in Ifa - cock, sand, water, obatala, palm wine and stuff.

MetaPhysical:


I am not questioning your expertise, its why I opened with "respectfully". Lol.

Im speaking generally now.

Where we find an object in use at location A is also used in location B and C, bearing similarity in construction and with same application, should we dismiss it as a chance distribution, or does it need further look into perharps to establish commonality and origin?

In particular we find religious objects and articles of faith in Yorubaland duplicated in a specific spot on the globe,not once or twice but in consistent multiple occurrences. I would say mundane objects are perharps chance distribution but I would be more cautious attributing "chance" to rites of worship.

Im moving about and so my participation is disjointed. When I settlr in at home later and can collect thoughts I wil share more.

Iranjedite

It depends on what the objective of your research is.

Across the globe we find similar phenomena in cultures and yes they can be further researched and treated as an open ended comparative study in most cases but not commonality of origin. Why? Early history of independently different cultures have shown similarities, surface level or deep, without any necessary similar origin.

Besides, in researching (the science) or writing history (the art), there are set rules to be followed. Else, historians would have written histories of many nations following the patterns displayed here. Look for two cultures with some similarities then slap them together as one.

I have a question: since it is generally agreed that the earlist men lived in Africa first. Why is the theory pushed by you, absolutesuccess, 2prexios and Olu317 not done in reverse?

That is Ife existed first and the Jews, Canaanites, Egyptians tookwhatever similarities we find in their culture away from Yoruba land to the places they settled rather than we looking up to them as the source of our migration and culture?
