Reno should give the guy a break. He's a politician and can be anything but a fanatic. The Otuoke weakling whom he worships day and night has been everywhere too. He even ran to Yoruba obas whose gods could barely win the critical local governments that mattered in the Yorubaland.

Reno should rest.


Jonathan's incompetence destroyed Jonathan. Don't hinge his failure on anyone. Not even Jonathan himself would do that.

True. All of them who blackmailed Jonathan, I mean the backstabbing treacherous lot all have dates with destiny, with terror and disrepute. From SW to MB to N. Jonathan is one man that reminds me of the biblical statement of Jesus. Blessed are they who do not fight for themselves (Meek) for they receive what God has promised (inherit the earth).

Who else notices the lies they still pander that Jonathan is incompetent? A man whose government made the country the fastest growing and top economy in Africa? They all formed a network of betrayal and sabotage against him just to grab power not realizing that the God of the tail-less animal drives away flies for it.

All the evil they accuse Jonathan of, They're 1000 times worse. Some said he never saved for rainy days, but guess what? He did under Ngozi Okonjo Iweala but these same APC in power pressured, blackmailed and arm-twisted through protests and harangued his government to the point of getting court judgement to waste the money so that they'll have something against him.

You see the picture above where Yoruba chiefs are pointing sticks at him? A Yoruba lady actually told me that in their culture, you do not point sticks at a human being, so they were more or less cursing a president because they wanted their own people in power. What does that tell you? Network of Betrayals. Are they better or worse off today?

Your guess is as good as mine.

But I am still watching...

patiently

Have you noticed that the two regions that backed Jonathan, SE&SS are the relatively peaceful places today? SE&SS voted for and sowed peace, so peace must they reap. Some sowed to the wind and are reaping whirlwind. Is it a coincidence or retribution for treachery?

As long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat shall not cease.

Lol at the bolded above.

Trust me Yoruba monarchs offer prayers with their ìrùkẹ̀rẹ̀ (fly-whisk), and NOT by pointing their ọ̀pá (staff) at the person.

They will only point their ọ̀pá at you (in the precise manner as was done to H.P.C.* Jona) if you were to be some sort of sacrificial offering.

Compare and contrast the two images (yours above and mine below) to spot the commonalities. Let me know if you still need further clarification.

For reference to the image below, see:

Suzanne Preston Blier, “Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba: Ife History, Power, and Identity, c. 1300,” Cambridge University Press (2015), p. 322.

Lol. I want to believe, the prayer by those kings were politically based because,kings don't reject their subjects. I can recall, the Rtd General that defeated President Jona also went around for such support and prayers . In fact, this man went to RCCG and knelt down before Pastor E.A Adeboye.

Thus, Irukere's form of prayer is quite different from Opa Alashe's. So, I want to believe, prayers for politicians are mere identification with whoever goes to King(s) for support, which is always a norm in Yoruba land. The reason is that even within same family, we have seen cousins, siblings toeing different political ideology without rancour but based on principles. So, don't make it look like Yoruba kings sacrificed Jona for Nigeria.

Prayers can be offered for someone by Kings or Prophets but only Almighty God's view may reject such person. This is the reason, Eleda (Almighty God) is always begged and appease through submission to ‘his' will to give one a victory to shame one's adversary all the time. And if adversary have a edge against one, then one continue to appease one's God.

Cheers.

Stop debating against simple, plain, and obvious facts.

The sheep and goat in that image were not about to be blessed with prosperity, success, and breakthrough.

And H.P.C. Buhari didn’t have any ọ̀pá pointed at him during any of his campaign visits to the monarchs

Cheers!

Olu317:
Not debating simple and obvious photo you posted which seemingly simple before plain eyes but the reality is that , Yoruba kings prayers as this can't be in comparison between Jonathan's and the Sheep or ram's.

Ram as sacrifical animal represents appeasement to God for a king to be an authority on the throne, ancestors appeasement for breakthrough in one's life, ancestors remembrance, dedication of successful child's birth , as Ifaodu initiate etc.


Opa Ashe is actually not the authority but the kings! Though, represents the kings at times if need be sent through a servant (s).And stretching the rod towards the object or subject only signified that the Yoruba kings prayed the power that reside with them being invoked to support Jonathan to ascend to the presidency position. Naturally, the Kings in Yoruba land are Igba keji Risa; Second in command to God Almighty or ancestors. Risa or Orisa are ancient word for Yoruba men who has ascended to heaven in Yoruba confined beliefs in their religion after such person's demise or simply a Yoruba individual with great exploit on earth and these people are actually small gods,who are in the image of Almighty God ,who is the Risa ‘himself'.

Basically, logic don't naturally work solely in this regard because each ethnic group have a form of Opa Ashe in their enclave amongst their kings. So, you need not compare these two photos of ram and a man because, ram's/sheep aren't worshiped in Yoruba land but as outstanding animal for sacrifce. Meanwhile, the Opa Ashe stretched towards Jonathan is a prayer for his success, and long life, and acceptance as a son to them all.


Lastly, I am not interested in dragging issue with you on this part because, your depth is quite different from mine. I however, will want to see the link to that Infakul account of the word Yoruba,in which I have seen 1930s account which was posited as being stated in the Infakul as Y R B.
Cheers .

TAO11:
I don’t have the time to repeat myself. However, the sheep and goat (in that image) were not receiving blessings.

And Yoruba kings only point toward you, place on you, wave at you, or/and touch you with their irukere as a way of prayer and good wish — NOT their opa-ashe.

I pray you get the relevance you seek. Bye-bye, abeg.

Modified:
What link to what “Infakul account” have I discussed with you prior to now ??

Have I ever had any such discussion about any so-called “Infakul account of the word Yoruba with you” ??

By the way, there is no meaning of “Yoruba” as “Y R B” in any Infakul.

And I know exactly where you’re going with all these pseudo-smartness.

Cheers!

Olu317:
[s]Perhaps you need reread my post to point out where I mentioned goat and sheep as receiving blessing and if you can't then you are ignorant of what you posted. Obviously you seem to have no retentive memory of what you posted months aback.

Seriously I don't enjoy frivolous juxtaposition any day or any time. I only asked for the link which was once shared as regards the Arabic account of Sultan Bello Infakul Maisuri which after the account to that of Baba Ahmed. But as it stands, keep it .

You need not be myopic over this issue because you absolutely can't go beyond your normal view in this area of limited knowledge you have on it .So mentioning ‘pseudo smartness' shows how unethical you are as a being.[/s]
