kulyie: The answer to your question is in the bible.: when the wicked perish the people shout for joy,when d great die,the people mourn.can u compare the leaders in america and the leaders in nigeria.why wont nigerians rejoice.they are rejoicing because death has eliminated one of nigeria's many problems.they are worthless people so its worth celebrating. The people celebrating, are they better than the people they're castigating? 4 Likes |

chinedumo: Could this be why some women are desperate to have sex, get married, get pregnant? Absolutely Yes. Caroline said "there's no such thing as a good period". In other words, all women have bad experiences with periods and they can't wait for such an experience to end. Also, she was trying to tell men that they can't (or they'll find it extremely difficult to) handle or compose themselves when women go through these experiences, hence the reason her company tries to paint a rosy picture of periods. That's the funny part. . "Exposing men to a reality they hoped we'll never face". . . Absolutely stùpid |

pazienza: You can't pick and choose,it's either all or nothing. In igboland i don't know of any moral injunction that precides one's duty to the gods and ancestors. Igbo culture didn't evolve,it was simply replaced. Igbo customs were injunctions from igbo deities,made known to us by messengers of these deities,you have no business talking about igbo customs if you no longer believe in or worship these deities. I didn't pick or choose anything. There are custodians of tradition (the ejiofors', the nzes' et al)to whom such responsibility is accorded. |

Going by the revelations from the Alaafin, it seems evident that his throne and kingdom is the most influential in Yorubaland. Correct me if I'm wrong though. . . |

pazienza: The act of refusing to worship the gods of our ancestors,accepting the gods of other people, burning down the places of worship of the gods of your ancestors,allowing twins to live,terming most of the ancient practices of your ancestors as evil,while you embrace alien practices,etc,is equally abomination in igboland,if you have partaken in any of these abominations,then you have no moral right talking about what is,and what is not abomination as such attempt will lead to hypocrisy. I don't think there's any tradition or culture that has not evolved, changed and amended to suite the needs, issues, developments and trends of various times in history. Of course, it is an abomination to desecrate the shrine and name of the gods in Igboland but you have to admit it, these traditions and religions were not meant to last without necessary and unnecessary change(s) and amendments forever. However, you should note that some moral codes, traditions etc are still 'unbreachable' and highly respected notwithstanding these cultural changes. Homosexuality is currently one of them and it will be so until there is a total erosion of all igbo customs. |

Politics / War Of Words Between The Ooni And The Alaafin by 401kk: 9:33am On Dec 17, 2012 |
From GBENGA ADESUYI, Ibadan The frosty relationship between Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III continued over the weekend, as Oba Adeyemi lashed out at Oba Sijuwade, describing him as one fond of distorting history and ignorant of the details of his ancestral roots. Oni had during the Centenary anniversary of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo held at the MUSON Centre in Lagos criticized Alaafin over the celebration of Oranyan. He was said to have described Alaafin as not being connected to Oranyan, one of the sons of Oduduwa and so not qualified to celebrate him. Ooni was said to have stressed that Alaafin was reigning over a dead empire, saying that Alaafin was a rascally person and that “Alaafin is not Oranyan”, but he had kept his cool and went ahead with the Oranyan celebration, “which attracted many dignitaries from all walks of life in Nigeria and in the Diaspora”. Oba Adeyemi while reacting at the weekend during the special birthday lecture organized in his honour by the ‘City People Magazine’, entitled: “Reviving Old Oyo Customs and Tradition”, delivered by a Portuguese national, Ms Paula Gomes (Alaafin’s Cultural Ambassador), the monarch said he had decided not to engage in altercations with Ooni any longer since former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo summoned him, the Awujale of Ijebu, the late Oba Oyebade Lipede and the Ooni to an all-night meeting, and everybody had agreed to cease fire. He however said despite keeping his cool, Ooni had continued to castigate him and his traditional activities, adding that he had deemed it appropriate “to recall history, educate the Ooni and let the world know the truth.” Making reference to series of documentary evidence, Alaafin recalled that Oyo is superior to Ife in many ramifications, asking, “where did this Yoruba Language that we are speaking originate from? Which language was used in writing the Bible? It is Oyo Language. Why not Ife language? Where else are they speaking Ife Language apart from Lagere Quarters? Why are the Modakeke people, who are living behind Ife not speaking Ife Language?”. Alaafin further said that he had confronted Ooni with various questions in the past, even before Chief Obasanjo at the meeting, but he could not answer them, “instead, he came with books that could fill three baskets”. Alaafin said that, “In 2009, Ooni had rubbished the institution of Alaafin, but a year after when he was celebrating his birthday said Oranyan was his father’s ancestor. “How could you have denigrated your ancestors and later claim that you are a son of the Alaafin. Anybody who does not know his ancestral roots, who did not strive to learn about it, and does not learn from those who know, will continue to make mistakes and flounder in ignorance. That is part of Ooni’s inadequacies. “When we wanted to celebrate Sango, they said Sango is not Yoruba. Sango studied Quoran. He was the one that was first conferred with the title of ‘Akeugberu’. He was the first in the art of adjudicating justly. When he was born, the umbilical cord that joined him with his mother could not be detached. Because they pulled it and it would not cut, it became the name ‘Afonja’. The glory, success and tradition of Yoruba started from Oyo”, the Alaafin emphasized. He added that Oyo state during the administration of late Chief Bola Ige (SAN) came up with a stamped paper recognizing Oranyan as the Head of the Princes and Princesses in Yorubaland, “and that Oyo dominated all other nations, namely: Ife, Ijebu, Egba, Ijesa, Sabe, Owu and so on”. Oba Adeyemi equally said that when Messrs Richard Lander and McPherson visited Oyo- Ile in 1827, they concluded that what they saw in Oyo-Ile in terms of historical structures and rich cultural heritage was uncompared with what obtained in the old European world, while cautioning the Ooni against further distorting historical facts, which he said his (Sijuade) predecessor, Oba Adesoji Aderemi, did not do. In his congratulatory address on the occasion, the Director, Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac Albert, said that the university was ever proud to associate with the Alaafin, who turned 74 on October 15, “being our able and reputable patron that epitomizes the rich African cultural heritage and an inspiration to all of us.” |
