The daft one (alainilaakaye) dey fight jihad on their day of celebration of their imported deity. Oponu, did I make my posts for imbes like you to quote me and start crying in my mentions fighting e-jihad? Enjoy your ebo. Una go get sense one day. I wonder why nature puts dolts like this in high concentrations (numbers) in Africa |
triplechoice:Thanks. |
Muslims are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha today. Also called Sallah, Eid-ul-Adha means "Feast of Sacrifice" or "Festival of Sacrifice" in English. "Eid-ul-Adha" means "Odun Ebo" in Yoruba as "sacrifice" or "adaahi" (Arabic) means "ebo" in Yoruba, and "odun" means "festival". So, before the Yoruba Muslims call the traditionalists "elebo", know that Yoruba Muslims are "elebo" too, like all other Muslims and Christians. Yoruba Christians and Muslims refer to those they think practice idolatry/paganism as "elebo". Those that think critically and know the history of Islam and Christianity are well aware that both of these two Abrahamic religions are rebranded or repackaged paganism. When you look at Yeshua, the name of one of your prophets in Christianity and Islam, you probably think the ESHU at the center is there mistakenly. Lols. Muslims call him Isa which is from iESUs or jESUs as the letter 'J' used to be same as 'I' some centuries ago. Just like today's pastors and alfas seek spiritual power from babalawos (priests of African traditional religion), it's not surprising to learn that the founder of Christianity himself, Yeshua, also did. The adherents could only be following the footsteps of their master or god. I watched "Ijakumo" recently with a friend and one of the central characters in the movie, Pastor Jide, reminded me of the historical account of Yeshua. This came to mind: yESHUa or yESHU or jESU, and it's not really hard to believe that the same man that reportedly learnt philosophy and wisdom in ancient Egypt in the past in Africa also learnt wisdom and magia (called miracles in Abrahamic religions) from Eshu, one of the ancestors of we Yoruba people. Christians and Muslims are elebo too like the traditionalists as well. Before you demonize our cultures and traditions, think twice and reflect. |
Theflint1:Judging by their lifestyle, those running the government know all things being equal, Nigeria should be a high-income country. Still, with all the massive looting that has been going on for many years now, they know Nigeria is not, and has never been, poor. The World Bank calls Nigeria a lower-middle-income country. But I'm to believe some random people on Nairaland that mischievously or ignorantly (or unknowingly) call Nigeria poor? No. |
The president of a "poor country" uses a 120-car convoy. Interesting. |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Thank you. I plan to stay celibate as I've someone I'm dating in Nigeria, and maintaining relationships with a lady is a lot of hard work and distraction. I just needed a place to focus on the research papers and books I've been working on for some time now, prepare for some professional exams, while working remotely. |
raumdeuter:Thanks, bro. |
DeadPresidents:Lols, data doesn't care about your emotions and feelings. I know there are exceptions. That's why I used usually in the post you quoted. 8 out of 10 times, people with higher intelligence will colonize and enslave those with lower intelligence on this planet, not the other way round. At least, among humans. Of course, there are exceptions. Yes, European colonizers and slavemasters were malevolent and malicious, but they were also innovative, curious, daring, and brave. These last four are some of the traits of high intelligence. However, I don't support colonizing and enslaving others. I'd prefer a lion that lives a short, impactful life (impactful in a positive light) to a sheep that lives a long, docile life. Docility is one of the worse traits a people can have. I thought you'd show at least one African language in the simple test I gave. |
triplechoice:OK then. |
DeadPresidents:Lols, you're contradicting yourself in a single post. Self-deception is the worst form of deception. You said most of Africa is backward and still said it's a generalizing by asserting that" the average black man is less intelligent than the other races". A continent that has many thinkers won't be mostly backward in the first place and remain so for tens of years. Then you listed various reasons such as slavery, fragmentation, etc. The first problem you listed depends on the level of intellect of a people or race. When one group of people invade another people's land, the race with superior intelligence usually wins and enslaves the other. When studying the dynamics of human behavior and interactions in society, the group with higher brain power (intelligence) will naturally control those with lower intelligence. It's the natural order of things, at least among humans most times. Europe colonized many parts of Africa. Today, Saudi controls African Muslims using religion as a tool, and Israel controls African Christians using religion. These African Christians and Muslims form the majority of the African population today. An objective mind will simply see that the race with more intelligent people lead the world. One doesn't need a soothsayer to tell who the controllers and leaders of planet Earth are. The data that supports my assertion abounds. I don't need to cite many here. Simply take a random gadget in your house; check the user's manual that came with it written in multiple languages. Those languages you see that manual written in belong to some of the most intelligent and innovative peoples on this planet in modern times. That gives a rough picture of what I'm saying. Those races lead the planet while others follow. Tell me which African languages you see in the manual. Do you see any? About the other problems you listed, these issues are not really peculiar to Africa. Other continents also have their own natural challenges as well. It takes intelligence to problem-solve the challenges nature throws at us. When Africa has more thinkers and lower numbers of religious people, the continent will develop. Growth and development of society don't just drop from heaven. It's humans that build societies (not a god), and that takes a high level of intelligence and innovation. |
triplechoice:Interesting. About the highlighted: are you talking from experience; perhaps, you've used a similar tactic before? |
triplechoice:What's your proof that the OP seeks to recruit new members for Amorc? I know next to nothing about this Amorc organisation. My first impression after reading the first post on this thread is that the OP seeks to educate people about philosophy. Does learning philosophy mean one seeks to join a cult? |
DeadPresidents:It's reality. There's nothing supremacist about it. The facts and data are there for every discerning mind to see. Africa has stupid people in large numbers as the majority and highly intelligent people in lower numbers as the minority. Calling Africa a backward continent that contributes next to nothing to the world's development isn't an insult. It's a fact. I don't believe you're in Germany and are yet to realize the world has left Africa behind. No need to engage in self-deception. |
When you don't have what we Yorubas call lakaaye (i.e., you're not of sound intellect), you won't know that the key signs your country will remain backward among the comity of nations in the world in the present and for many years to come are when most of your fellow citizens demonize their ancestors and culture while promoting and celebrating foreign ones, when most of them are religious (and it's worse, if they're adherents of foreign religions), when the majority see nothing wrong in the mental slavery of religion and are glad when they waste billions yearly on scams called pilgrimages to Makkah or Jerusalem. No be curse, in the next 50 years or more, the country, and the whole African continent will continue to lag behind among the lowest of the low when others lead because most Africans, like the dumb fellow here, simply don't have the level of intelligence required to build and maintain a functional society sustainably in modern times. It's not really a problem of leadership. It's because there are too many dull heads like this m.oron here. The followers are dumb just like the leaders. Most are even too dumb to know who their ancestors are, ignorantly calling murderers and pedophiles from Arabia and Israel their ancestors. Foreign people they're not related to in any way. Lols. You want to develop as a people without being connected to your roots, without being connected to your ancestors. It's simply impossible. Na play you dey play. When they travel overseas for their yeye pilgrimages, they see how the Arabs and Israelites celebrate their ancestors and forebears. If you demonize your ancestors and culture, you'll simply remain stagnant in life as a people and wallow among the lowest of the low. It's only in Africa I get to realize the fact that stupidity has levels. These ones don set a new record in stupidity. When discussing with them online or offline, once you mention anything pertaining to the local culture, immediately you've become a wizard or devilish person even though you don't engage in their superstitious nonsense. |
Ihebu4chelsea:Type your silly question on Google. When you insult me, I insult you back. |
DontBullshitMe:I'll simply bin your mention henceforth. I'm not here to engage m.orons like you without a working brain. No sane Nigerian is happy about the brain drain wreaking havoc on the key sectors in the country. You can encourage more dense people like you to continue wasting billions of naira on silly pilgrimages yearly that add zero value to the Nigerian society and even urge the government to waste more billions sponsoring Nigerians on these pilgrimages even if they're owing salaries and can't perform their basic duties. I said the average black man is less intelligent than his peers from other races exactly because of dumb people like you. It's this same imbe that said the Nigerian government is already doing too much for its citizens the other day. |
If your field is Physics or any other field in the physical sciences, and you've published a paper for free using the traditional publishing option, please give me journal recommendations for a paper in Physics or state the name of the specific journal you used. |
Now that I'm set to visit a nearby African country, I'll be observing the level of religiosity of these Africans compared with Nigerians. |
GloriousGbola:Before I started making posts on Nairaland that critique religious beliefs and practices some years ago, I started from my immediate environment offline. Only few people can have such courage to do this, especially among Muslims. Whether a freethinker engages people on religious issues offline or online is their choice to make. The important thing is to share beneficial knowledge with people and not hoard key information that can liberate those who are trapped in the shackles of religion and superstition. How one chooses to engage religionists is less significant. I don't know who told you I engage in Sallah celebration. I don't have time for nonsense. Instead of celebrating a useless god during all these silly festivals, I celebrate myself instead and give myself a nice treat on any day I choose. When I no dey even celebrate my own birthday, na one useless god I go dey celebrate |
GloriousGbola:I never told you or anyone that I'm an atheist. Whether I come out or not as a non-religious person is none of your business. That's a trivial issue as far as I'm concerned. I'm not on Nairaland to share my life history. |
DontBullshitMe:The post is meant for people with a working brain, not a m.oron like you that usually reacts emotionally to key issues. I don't need to explain to intelligent people the immense benefits of keeping the over half a trillion naira (which dull Nigerians like you waste on pilgrimages annually to well-packaged scams called "holy lands" such as Makkah and Jerusalem) in the Nigerian economy. Smart people already understand these things. Before you know it, dull people like this will be saying Nigerians import almost everything and produce little, which is one of the reasons why the naira isn't rising sustainably over time against the dollar. How will the naira rise when mumu people like you waste billions of naira on pilgrimages annually to "holy" lands helping the foreign countries build their own economy and your own economy stagnates? |
budaatum:Cool thread. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Russell are some of the greatest Western philosophers and thinkers in history. As someone who is widely read, OtemAtum's writings dwarf those of all these thinkers. The gap is very wide. That's not surprising since many of these Western philosophers schooled in ancient Egypt and had the opportunity to learn the teachings and philosophies of great minds, such as Atum and Ra, who you might call the greatest ancestors of ancient Egypt. |
Olu Jacobs really looks emaciated.

Premium Times reports that over 95,000 Nigerians are currently in Saudi for hajj. That's over 380 billion naira entering the Saudi economy since the traveling expenses will gulp at least 4 million naira per person. And what do these Nigerians get in return for spending humongous amounts of money just to visit some shrine? Prayers. Muslims believe any prayer made in Saudi during hajj gets automatically answered. Lols, we all saw how that played out during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prayers were useless. Science was the savior. Saudi sef no dey rely on mere prayers to guard their shrine in Makkah. If you like, go on a holy pilgrimage to Saudi or Jerusalem every year and pray fervently during the rituals, you'll still have your fair or unfair share of problems and challenges in life like other humans. Prayers are mere wishes regardless of where they're recited. Saudis go dey pray make Nigerians never wise. The billions of dollars that many mumu people pump into their economy annually really help. Countries with many dull heads like Nigeria don't develop. They're the slaves of this world.

Evolution. |
It's always funny seeing how Nigerians suffer almost every year just to experience certain aspects of the Arab culture in Saudi Arabia. When people have a brain but don't use it, they'd be scammed over and over again in the name of religion. Highly intelligent people know there's nothing called a "holy land". The concept of pilgrimage to a so-called holy land in religions like Islam and Christianity is a mere tactic smarter humans use to dupe their fellow humans who are dumb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeS_IQaAkxY |
Happy Birthday, pkasso. Enjoy your day! |
ThierryJay:Real Madrid is the number one at the moment. Below is your initial post I quoted. If you had said regarded in the post, I'd agree with you. At the moment, Real Madrid is generally regarded as the biggest and greatest club in the world. Some years ago, it used to be Barca. ThierryJay: |
ThierryJay:I didn't. |
ThierryJay:Okay, no need for long talk. Real Madrid is the greatest and biggest club in the world. That's a fact. |
No need for meaningless discussion when you don't even understand basic Physics. |
Amigoss:God no dey save or help anyone. It's only one's head that can help one or family, friends, and other kind people. About the accident, when a person dies on earth, their consciousness shifts into another dimension or realm and continues existing in another form. Death, or the phase transition of consciousness from one realm to the other, looks like a dream. In any space around us are multiple realms hosted on different bandwidth or range of frequencies. When one's consciousness is altered by death or other factors, one's consciousness, which operates on a range of frequencies, can get connected via superposition of waves to a frequency bandwidth of another realm and then shift into that realm. Then, one is said to have fainted or died in this realm. It's all about waves, energy, and frequency. What we call time is an illusion created by the brain. Time really doesn't exist. The past, present, and future exist all at once as a block. Currently, we're in the fragment of time called the present. The series called "Dark" captures this notion well. The mysteries of life are infinite, and scientists haven't even scratched the surface.
