Yorubas, leafing Southerner Nigeria from time immemorial.

Keyboard warriors, the above statement is not to malign any of the Southern tribes. No be everything we go dey fight for.

Igbos lead in business, Yoruba lead in education, other tribes too leaf in other areas.

Southern Unity is a must. Drop all weapons against your brothers and face the Sahara desert warriors.

The liquid metal of that time...

Nothing to see here

Those giving their idols away weren't forced with gun, they did so after conviction that the idols isn't saving them.

Alot of traditional worshippers are still using idols till date cos they are not yet convinced

Nigeria Factor
Even almost everyone.

From this idols it's very obvious for anyone who is familiar with Igbo idol that ibani are igbos ....but if they say they are ijaws ...so be it

These looks like igbo idols

Culture is good

Not really igbos are taking education serious

Compare Igbo students in south west
Compare to Yoruba students in south east
Igbo students in south south and yoruba student in south south
Same can be done in the north ...it's obvious Igbo students are more

Jamb ,weac can produce similar numbers

Yorubas need to do something fast

You can't use that as the basis.
You should say,
Compare the standard of Education in SW to other regions.
Compare the Universities, Polytechnics, College of Educations, University of tech, Medical universities.

Only a few Yorubas schooled in the East and South South, like me also I'm a proud Lion.

Until then, we can't use that.

After doing the above.
Check most of the innovations and tech and see who they are and where they schooled.

Using Jamb and waec as metrics is wrong because, there are many lapses and not 60% credible.


But sha, we'll catch up with Igbos in business sooner or later.

This is unfortunately true. We are now producing area boys and touts, and now competiting with the Northern Almajaris. This is disheartening. But when street and motor park touts like MC Oluomo boasts of millions if not billions, what do you expect from upcoming youths?

My brother, we are lacking behind ooo. Let's tackle our problems now head on. This is not competing with Igbos oooo, but telling ourselves the truth.

I am from Ogun State. I was born and live in Lagos. I school in Oyo on weekends. My brother, the number of touts in Oyo state alone is more than the touts in the five Igbo States combined. Don't even talk about Lagos where the number of touts is more than the rest of the population

What they ran to didn't and couldn't save them either but rather made more confused and vulnerable...!!

They didn't say they are ijaws.

Even in 1896, they are recognised as ibani-ijaws, make Una Stop all this mumu argument for Nairaland abeg

No. They were brainwashed by much sophisticated and educated people. This is a crime against innocent indigenous people.

And it is not about just any idols. If you know the intricacies of traditional religion, then you will know that the idols of the past are much sophisticated and a cultural asset to us.

The ones used today by traditional worshippers in Southern Nigeria (except the Yoruba belt) are not made as per tradition and are very crude and lack any symbolism.

THATS CHRISTIANITY FOR YOU BRUH

YOU MEAN TINUBU PRESIDENCY IS A MUST

Herbert Macaulay is the grandson of BISHOP AJAYI CROWDER.

The facial semblance speaks volume!

True repentance for pagans is often associated with renouncement of idol worship and consequently disposing of idols, so it doesn't come as a surprise.

The most dangerous kind of idol worship is that which goes on inside the church, where the church members are into idol worshippers but hardly realize it because the idol is dressed up in the image of someone in the Bible.

That's the kind of idolatry that Satan has used to trap many church members successfully, because he devised a cunning means of where the idols in the church is made in the image of things or people highly respected in the church, not things or people from the outside, so people can comfortably worship idols thinking they're worshipping God, and not discern that they are idol worshippers and hence dispose of the idols.

May God have mercy on those who've fallen for this cunning trick of the devil, and open their eyes so that they'd know what they're actually into, and hence desist from it and come to true repentance.

God bless.
