Ah. They are just reflecting on what occurred in this thread for the past days and joking about it. You are becoming paranoid o! Just ask for a translation rather than jumping into a conclusion.

Eko Ile:


I know you have selective brains and sense of attention, but the quote below obviously has nothing to do with what you are talking about and your silly paranoia nonsense. You only see what other people post, but never what your people post. It's still called dishonesty.

One_Naira:

I read it and I read what he replied to.  You calling an insult a FACT and pretending it is not an insult and he's insulting you back.  Shikena!!! Sometimes I wonder do you even put yourself in other people perspective to try to attest how your comments are viewed outside of your no offense bigotry.  His first post prior to the one you quoted was an insult on the other hand.

I do not feel like you going back and forth with you on this again, all you are going to do is deny it anyway.

Eko Ile:


Instead of all that rubbish, why not juts go ahead and say what I said wasn't facts? Also how that = Insult. Be a man and say just that.

And if you people want to go at it again, I'm game. Bring it on.

And if you people want to go at it again, I'm game. Bring it on.

One_Naira:


How many people have to say something before you get it.  It is not Fact but an insult and such insult or supposedly in your opinion "fact" occurs in SW as well thus your assertion reflect SW also hence irrelevant to the article or thread.


SMH. It's like you are a child.

This Thread just shows how divided Nigerians are, even some people who never knew what transpired to what has been blabbing, I believe its because we all have computers and internet.

My people, lets face reality, if we can`t stay together, lets stop deceiving ourselves, alot has happened, we have all it takes to be great but all these tribal whatever is not helping us. I hear you guys blabbing about the war you know nothing about. Gowon led the Nigerian soldiers against the so called Rebels (Biafra), it was never your so called Adekunle or what, and now it is clear that Gowon is an Igbo man from Abakiliki, born to an Igbo soldier who got the mother pregnant and abandoned him, but this is not the ultimate issue now. The issue is that people are dying in masses, Boko Haram is Bokoring people, with a THEME playing against Western Education which simply implies AGAINST CHRISTIANITY. Christianity brought Western Education to Nigeria.

From my own point of view of the whole thing, our major problem in this country is just ethnicity and Religion, that has been the main cause of nepotism and red-tapism that has been happening in most of our government parastatals. We the young people of this country has been misled into adoring fake heroes. Most of the riots, wars that we have experienced, where has it led us to, before Ojukwu died, he was paid all his due pensions and gratuities, I also think he was promoted up to the rank of a general. WHY SHOULD THAT BE ? You see all this old men do not deserve any recognition, they have failed, they do one thing or another just for some personal and selfish interests. Compare them with the likes of Mandela, and other great men who have made worthy sacrifices for their respective countries.

Irrespective of what Boko Haram says or do, to me, it is just another political masterstroke coming from one of those criminals to hinder some political opponents but with time we would find out.

In summary, my people, if possible, lets forget about those past failures and think of how to face our problems and help this country, cos my people, we are sinking, some big feet below sea level,

Eko Ile:

No, you are still logged in your tribal mode, you are so dishonest that you are not even willing to accept the fact what the rest of the world know as facts is real facts and from your view it's an insult.

So all the news stations and news papers reporting all the kidnapping stories were all insults and insulting ibo people?

How do you even fight  or eliminate the menace called kidnapping when the people afflicted don't see it as anything but an insult to admit that their own people are the unfortunate recipient of kidnapping.

We both know your problem is tribal loyalty so stop the silly and dishonest charade.

Or you just mean the people that are killing your people and kidnapping your school kids are not insulting you, it's the news and the messengers doing the insulting?

My sense of reasoning suxs, I are even worse than a day old baby.

Because Oro and other Yoruba forms of spiritual expression spring from an ethos of life and democratic spiritualism that admits of pluralism, otherness, and difference, they were crucial to the survival of Yoruba people in the New World who, unlike their fundamentalist Christian and Moslem cousins in Nigeria, understood right from the bowel of the slave ship that they could not afford to forget the self. They got to Brazil, in Bahia de Salvador, and the white slave master insisted they forgot themselves by converting to Catholicism. The same thing happened in Cuba. But the slave master did not reckon with the accomodationist and adaptive essence of the religion of these Yoruba slaves. The slaves took whatever they could from Catholicism, blended such with Yoruba religion, and gave the world the religions of Candomblé in Brazil and Santéria in Cuba. By simultaneously enacting Catholic and Yoruba rituals in Candomblé and Santéria, the Yoruba of the New World are screaming esin kan o pe k’awa ma s’oro! In Candomblé and Santéria, the Virgin Mary lives in peace with her neighbor, Yemoja; Ogun does not grumble about the goings and comings of Saint Peter; Jesus Christ does not label Obatala a pagan deity. Candomblé and Santéria are inscriptions of the old self into new things. For old things hath passeth away…

Harmony. Harmony. Harmony. Do the Christian and Moslem fundamentalists of the old Yoruba land in Nigeria know how to listen to these things from their “pagan” cousins in the Americas? Sadly, the Yoruba who know the meaning of Hubert Ogunde’s warning, “Yoruba Ronu”, are few in Nigeria. They are mostly in Brazil, Cuba, and Barbados. As long as Nigeria is peopled mainly by selves alienated from the accomodationist and pluralistic humanism of their own cultures; as long as these lost selves refuse to listen to what their cultures have to say about the validity of the multiple roads leading to the market of spirituality, Nigeria will never know peace. I have encountered that pious Hausa Moslem who knows nothing about what his pre-Jihad Habe culture had to say about pluralism and tolerance before Othman Dan Fodio arrived on the scene and decided to rid those cultures of pluralistic and accomodationist values which he demonized as mixing Islam with impurities. This Hausa Moslem even got angry that I asked him about pre-Jihad Habe culture, something he considers haram. For old things hath passeth away…


Recovery of the self implies an unconditional acceptance of the fact that everything you need for the accomodationist efflorescence of your humanity is logged in your culture and whatever version of Christianity or Islam you embrace must accept and respect those values, not condemn them. The humanism and pluralism which our forebears valued and celebrated are not mutually exclusive with Christianity and Islam. Esin kan o pe k’awa ma s’oro espouses an ancestral dictum of tolerance that Nigerian Moslems and Christians need to learn from. Will they ever be sufficiently humble to admit that they have anything to learn from spiritualities that the most obdurately ignorant among them still label paganism? For old things hath passeth away!

those people are so silly that they think that people dont read news  closed banks in ogun state and kidnapping and ritualism/inceest in S/W is not meant to happen in yaribaland abi?i feel sorry for them cos they like to live on fantasies

Krosslife:

Please, you people should stop all these sentimental contributions.
Well, the writer has made the point and it’s the fact. It is no gainsaying that there is religious balance in the SW of Nigeria called Yoruba nation. That is why there is religious tolerance in the area. In every Yoruba family of the SW Nigeria, you’ll always find Muslims and Christians living together harmoniously as members of the same family. For example, in my family; my Grandpa is a Christian, Grandma is Christian (Orthodox), my father himself is a Muslim (Alhaji), my mum is a Christian and I am a Christian. Two of my sisters are Christians while the other two are Muslima. Most of my uncles and aunties in my father’s family are Deeper Christians while those of my mother’s family are devoted Muslims.  And we have other members who are neither Muslims nor Christians.
However, when we gather together as ONE BIG family for any occasion, party, events or family meeting, you’ll always see us chatting, talking, conversing, gisting and discussing about various issues in Nigeria, from politics to economy, from education to tradition, it could even be religion and culture, I always marvel at the way we get along with one another as if we were all of the same religious beliefs.
I remember, my father will always urge me to hurry up to church on Sundays and also on Fridays I will ask my father if he would not go to Jumat service or whether  he has completed his 5 daily salat. Obviously, this is the trend in almost all the families of the Yoruba people.
Frankly speaking, the Yorubas are really advanced in their thinking of building fully civilized liberal progressive societies that are devoid of religious and ethnic bigotry. And this is evident in what we are witnessing today in every parts of SW Nigeria and keenly responsible for the diverse ethnic population in Lagos Nigeria which is a Yoruba state.
Therefore, like the author has rightly said, the other parts of Nigeria especially the North should borrow a leaf from the Yoruba people of SW Nigeria. The North should learn from the Yorubas of the SW, how to live in peaceful co-existence, cherish life and accommodate fellow Nigerians in their states irrespective of religious, ethnic, educational, social, political or family backgrounds for us to have a united and developed Nigeria. Aha! They should just stop this incessant and indiscriminate killing of innocent Nigerians. Or how can Nigerian citizens anywhere in the country continue to live in trepidation of religious fanatics and bigots?
