Ariani:I don't see where the "we" comes in here, the person I referenced apparently got my drift. If however you haven't yet gotten my drift, it shows she has a higher IQ than you and you need alot of self development to do. Obviously not on NL, in the classroom. |

For those who do not understand the symbolic language of rituals (and I spotted quite a number of them on this thread), the Eze Nri was not speaking of a physical clinical death. The coronation rite of every Eze Nri has a 'death', 'burial' and 'resurrection' phase. He 'dies' as a man. A 'burial' is arranged and his wives go into mourning as though he has actually died. Then he 'resurrects' as a spirit in the culminating rite of his coronation, and becomes the Eze Nri. Hence an Eze Nri is an alusi. A spirit, a deity. This is why he doesn't eat in public where people can see him, because spirits do not eat. One should also point out that there is nothing peculiar about all these. All across Africa, we find people who revere their kings as 'gods' or 'spirits'. The tradition of kings not eating in public because 'spirits do not eat' is also prevalent over many parts of Africa. 2 Likes |

sapiosexual1: haha first class, cow's dung! are u talking about the ooni of ife who runs around USA displaying like a masquerade begging for money to maintain his fake-asssss cosmetic wife? funny how cowardice has reduced your people; you are even trying to equate your agbero and tout-like kings with those in hausaland when everyone knows how they lie on the floor before them always. I can see the Hausa here falling of their seats in derision as u try vainly to match-make their kings with your touts. tufia! your root deserves pity. |

manando1: I never told you there's a South African tribe called Gad. I said Gad mentioned in the bible have been identified as the Zulu tribe in South Africa. Honestly, I don't expect you know these things as this's not your everyday religious or history topic, rather, this's lost history. (1). Deuteronomy 33: 20 said ""And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head". The keywords for the tribe of Gad are HORN, LION, HEAD GEAR. Using these information and from other chapters of the bible, black scholars in search of the "biblical" 12 tribes of Israel have traced the tribe of Gad (mentioned in the bible) to a people in Southern Africa. Below are pictures of a people who dressed and continue to dress as described in the bible, above. Zulu Horn crown [img]http://arianasiresearch.files./2015/04/57.jpg?w=434&h=272[/img] Zulu Headgear  Zulu and lion ensembles. [img]http://evanmilton.files./2013/05/snoop-with-zulu-royal-family-2.jpg[/img] Of all ethnic gropus in the world, only Zulus or at least Southern Africans wear these types of costume, are obsessed with horn, lion, matching what was described in the bible!. That's how researchers arrived at this conclusion. And, this's exactly how forensic investigation works. Snoop Dogg probably have done his own research (like most wealthy African Americans) and discovered he's genealogy lies in that region of the world. No surprise he visited South Africa immediately changing his name to Snoop lion.  (2). Genesis 49:19 said "Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last". The keywords are TROOP, SHALL OVERCOME HIM, BUT GAD SHALL OVERCOME AT LAST. Gad eventually defeated his enemies (troop are white people).  The below videos will throw more light.

NaWetinDey:If I were to reply you the way I really should, you'd deactivate your account straight up. I'd rather prefer to know you for all the garbage you're worth, then take you to the cleaners for it, than resorting to attacks on your tribe (which is by far the most disgruntled in Nigeria, all that frustration... Can't be easy being from there!); that would be too easy for me. But I'll let it slide because this is your first time mentioning me on any post. Now, run along, get some ointment and rub it on your sensitive a*s. 1 Like |

sapiosexual1: Well, anything you put up in a public space like NL is for "we", if you don't want we to hold you accountable for them or question your motives for posting them, then I suggest you congregate in your ewedu Sagamu or Ogbomosho slums to discuss your inane discussions, and I assure you, no "we" will question your motives. Now if you are not a jellyfish, you would have known that common sense is inborn and not acquired in class rooms, but seeing as you are profoundly retarded, I can understand why you thought otherwise. Now that we have established that you don't have monopoly to use of expletives, can you now explain what you want "us" to make of your tribal Post, I was alluding to. |

This Eze should speak the truth. He ate psychedelic mushrooms and died, instead of confusing people with the wrong connotation of death. 100% of shamans use psychedelic plants to enter their trance. That's the fastest way to alter your consciousness and dream awake. |

Anyone who has access to JStor can read an article published in 1935 by MDW Jeffreys an American anthroplogist about the coronation-ceremony of Eze Nris. It is titled 'The Divine Umundri King'. https://www.jstor.org/stable/3180419?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents I'll copy and past the relevant portions of that paper here. "The Umundri coronation-ceremony has the twofold object of transforming a man into a god and of recreating the world. Before he enters on the coronation-ceremony one condition must invariably obtain. Both his parents must be dead. When the members of the royal families are satisfied that he is the chosen of the gods a public meeting is convened where his acceptance is acclaimed. The candidate begins by visiting all the shrines of all the minor gods in the town, making appropriate sacrifices. He then pays certain fees to the Adama or priestly group, who are both the custodians of the regalia and the masters of ceremonies. [b]The ceremony opens with a ritual death, burial and resurrection. The titled men attend and the Adama group take charge of the proceedings. An Adama priest, holding an ofo stick (a cult object) in his right hand, says, 'You who are about to enter the grave, rise up again with a vivid and shining body. May no sickness or harm befall you. Rise up as previous eze Ndri have done. Rule your people with truth and justice. Go to Aguleri, obtain your odudu and may you return safely to rule your people.' A shallow grave, already dug in the candidate's house, is lined with iroko planks. The candidate, prepared for burial in the ordinary way, and wrapped in a mat, is then lowered into the grave. A plank is placed over him and earth is thrown on it. As the body is lowered into the grave the death-wail is started by his wives, who, stripping themselves of their finery, go into mourning. He remains buried for some hours. His tree of life is cut down and the usual sacrifices made. At sunset Adama men, exhuming the body, carry it out of the compound. A banana-stem replaces the body in the grave, which is then filled in. The candidate has now left his ancestral home for ever.[/b] He, placed on cow-hides, is stripped of his cerements and is washed with water from the sacred lake. His body, including the hair of his head, is whitened with clay and water. He thus fulfils the prayer that he should rise with a vivid and shining body. He discards for ever his ordinary clothes and henceforth may wear only white or blue Igala ones. Copper greaves in the form of anklets are put on his legs, but he remains barefooted. He is now regarded as a spirit or god, his person is sacred, and only Adama may touch him and his belongings." The only difference between this paper, written 81 years ago, and what the current Eze Nri said was the time the 'dead' candidate spent in the grave. 4 Likes |
