The oba is perfectly right on this one

Obaseki is probably creating his own private museum to earn him revenue when he leaves office

And should indeed he leaves what then becomes of the artifacts left in the hands of private individuals who the next government may not be in terms with

We know how private firms in deals with government later turn out to be the governor private property after leaving office

It is right they go back to the only unmovable place that all binis can relate to

The oba has put in place the palace trust obaseki should use that

To think that's where they where even stolen from in the first place is not rocket science

Juat speaking without any context the project will be owned by the government, the british museum and the royal family I don't know why they have now changed their stance go and read about it

Ok

Yoruba mythology is pretty much straight forward... We have one God or Supreme being called Eledumare, then we have 17 dieties, Orisha or lesser gods sent by Eledumare to earth to fulfill specific task in helping humanity.

Like most myth... God Eledumare sent specific instructions to guide the Yoruba race through Orunmila and the scroll bis known as Odu IFA, it is accessible only through binary of IFA chain Opele, palm, or Kola nut.. like binary system in maths, everycode in Odu IFA(Yoruba Bible/Quran) is in 0s and 1s



.

17 ke? There are over 401 and that is excluding those allocated to individidual families and if you mean main ones then the number is 16 likw the 16 odu ifa

Ascribing the tag "His
Excellency" to Nnamdi Kanu is a good one also.
His Excellency Nnamdi Kanu.

Zombies on this thread should take note. Thank you.

Let's stop celebrating thousands year old mediocrity.

We are humans. It's time we started behaving as such.

Yet tomorrow you will marvel at another building in london smh. There’s nothing wrong with being interested in architecture if it wasn’t important cambridge and harvard wouldn’t have written whole articles on yoruba architecture ( For Example ) alone

This may be very controversial but i've tried it out and Nsibidi as well as Akagu can be adapted to Yoruba and Bini and coud be used as a medium for learning across Nigeria and other West African nations in future, i've already tried with a few basic words i'll post pictures later and then show the new alphabet when arranged to Yoruba only problem is Yoruba has more then two 'O' with the tonal marks and that Igbo has unique letters but i'm working on that

You guys have given me a lot of work but most of it is jsut foolishness and i'll adress a signle point according to Nobody it was our dark religion that promoted and allowed slavery this is very wrong


1. We onyl traded raw materiald until the CHRISTIAN europeans came to try and buy slaves

2. We naturally had slaves from war prisoners and criminals and kings saw nothing wrong with giving them away but the amount of work they were subjected to was never as harsh as the one CHRISTIAN Europeans and Americans imposed on them

3. Multiple Kings and Rulers of this so called dark religion tried to stop this trade of people because it had gotten to the point where law abiding citizens were being kidnapped in the farms and in the minds but the European CHRISTIANS only cared about profits examples are King of Dahomey then under the OYO OR YORUBA empire which this so called DARK RELIGION is FROM another example is the King of Kongo before he was converted and even the Allafin of Oyo in the 1700s tried to end it with no success


In conclusion it was these Christians that imposed and used the slave trade not the other way round open up your mind an learn and concerning me presenting the 204 000 pages of the odu ifa that is impossible

only a slect few individuals are privelged to learn it and are called Babalawo and Iyalawo they each learn about 20 000 pages worth of the odu ifa and the odu ifa is never ending it isn't stagnant liek the bible it contains all knowledge of the yoruba there is no exact llength it is passed down orally to the most upright people which is why Ifa is so sacred unlike this your corrupted and evil bible

when did I mention Ghana?

Johannesburg has a GDP larger than Kenya

New buildings are popping up all over Johannesburg bru

Kenya first has to catch Gauteng wrt Road infastructure.... Never mind Nairobi

The real estate market in Johannesburg alone is worth more than the entire Kenyan real estate market

Joburg has a gdp over 100 billion dollars, are you sure

I like how you found the poor areas of kano go and look at the flyovers and beautiful roads in the middle and high income areas similar to Nairobi you could say although it has significantly less skyscrapers and modern houses the roads and drainage system still competes with your affluent areas

rvp2018:
I actually saw that..look like a front for dodgy company..the workers dont even wear uniform

Since when was uniform a basis and what car does kenya manufacture I mean an actual Kenyan born and raised the only people who manufacture cars in Kenya are white British people know your place.

Saddamochieng00:
You know what...just look for another person who wore a mask and it changes th shape of his ears. In those memes you were talking about am sure you won't lack one who wore a mask and it shaped the curvature of his ear

As easy as that. You're one of them and please stop pretending.

He was obviously smiling under the mask which is why he looked so different not everything is a new world order or any of that bs

@Kikuyu1...

Although its roots go back further, scholars typically date the creation of Islam to the 7th century, making it the youngest of the major world religions. Now now now that's 7th century yet Prophet Muhammad recognized the existence of Jesus ( Isa )...So basically ya saying the so-called Christians and Muslims were all liars yet they existed at that time an well documented their way of life..

still waiting.....

Muhammed was a liar let’s be honest, all he did was reinforce what the Bible said then created many restricted rules, although I’m uncertain of Jesus’s existence I know for a fact Islam is just Christianity with stricter rules and more prayers.

well, a Reptilian believer an ofa diviner..what can go wrong... you niggas need a time out for real..

Someone was recently screeching about "Chisos" and his works. Here's the TRUTH; frankly he NEVER existed!
Contemporary observers like Philo of Alexandria never mentioned him. There's no record of his crucifixion by Roman court records which lasted hundreds of years.
A Roman family, the Pisos invented the whole thing for social control! Read the WHOLE thing!

As for Yawheh he was REAL but in the modern era in a modern nation WOULD HAVE been in 24/7 lockdown in a secure mental health facility! He was a megalomaniac, enthusiastic genocidaire WITH ZERO RESPECT for human life.

[sub]https://www.jesusneverexisted.com/brutal.htm/sub]

WTF does THAT!? It gets even WORSE if you can believe it.




Btw, Yawheh was ACTUALLY A TITLE! There was MORE than one. There's a hint of his true nature. He was EXTREMELY tall, at least 12 ft judging from the measurements of the furniture in the Tabernacle and he was ALWAYS VEILED.

This is what I’ve been saying

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Jealousy that another black is better than you go and sleep

I, not jealous I give congratulations when due and if I see someone lying such as you I will call you out any good development in Nigeria you have a reason to be angry same thing happens elsewhere you condemn Nigeria I don’t have time for fools who can’t acknowledge development or good sense and can only reason with insults

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I did not even understand why the Kenyan and Tanzanian are always arguing her when both of their countries are very beautiful. I have visited both of these countries and they are very nice

Simp, simper, simpest inferiority complex is smelling

Wuoche:
Direct from the mouth of Nigerians that have visited Kenya

If you went into the replies you would see a Kenyan saying Nigeria is better but you don’t want to do that now do you

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I like the noise making from somebody which is living in South Africa.

What do you mean noise making we are actively funding this project at least even as I’m sitting in a foreign country I am working ti better my own country with ideas, education, housing and funding for the local populace unlike you who calls your own people illiterates

Fool

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
homo genius yeah just hopping all over the place you are saying Industrial Revolution what happened to the Industries now that the country is sinking.. if you look at the history it is not the history it is what you make out of that history . I do not like looking in the past too much but concentrate on the future which something I can change

If you don’t learn from history you are bound to repeat it, Africa’s fall came from the division had we United ourselves against the enemy colonization wouldn’t have happened learn from history and work towards the future.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
How can you say you are all of this at least I am better I am only a yoruba from ibadan. Please explain where is your hometown in Nigeria

What do you mean how can I be all this or you don’t know people from different ethnic backgrounds can marry each other. I’m not going to tell you my home town before you use it against me to find out my identity all you need to know is Ogun, delta and Anambra is where I’m from

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Sometimes people must know they have a country and try to fix our country instead of trying to fix the Egyptian pyramids which are long gone. Many be next week it will be Victoria Falls

I like how you only jump onto the conversations once it’s something you can attack where we’re you when we were discussing the start of the industrial revolution in benin kingdom and Oyo empire and how advanced and peaceful both were

jl115:
They were and still are African

Also African isn't a race either

True

jl115:
Look bro I believe Obama is "Black"!! Im just trying to drive home the point that I was making in my discussion with Abohboy which mtis joined.

Abohboy said Egyptians stopped being black(not sure if he meant by race or complexion) when they mixed with Arab and Europeans......Im just using Obama as an example that if he is considered "Black" then so are Egyptians that Abohboy said are not black!

Okay let me rephrase that the Egyptians were Africans up until they mixed with Arabs and Europeans they they formed a new group of Copts, Arabs and mixed race peoples

gallivant:
What about Aboriginal Australians and Papua New Guineans, where do they fit in the "black" equation? Are they Africans just because they have a dark complexion? What is "black"?

They aren’t African but they are black because it’s the colour of the skin although it’s confusing cause of Indians but I’m pretty sure if you leave Africa you’d get what black is ad what black isn’t

gallivant:
I can show you "blacks" who aren't African. The term black is very misleading.

Now I’m starting to need what yours and jln115 point is your against the use of black to describe people. But back in the BCs within Africa everyone was “black” other than maybe the khoisan and “indigenous Arabs”

SUFFERinSMILIN you say your helping your nation but you don’t know what others are doing. I’ll be brief about it but essentially we’re building solar powered homes in Nigeria for the homeless and in the next few years we’re building a private lan African university and we’re inviting the foremost professors to work there, the school fees will be very low or simply free.

jl115:
Are these people black:

The first two yes and the last one no, the first two are the dravidians of India black people who left Africa thousands of years ago and their skin colour never changed

jl115:
That's your opinion.....only difference is Boers have a culture and language unique to SA which is not found anywhere but in SA

No only difference is the boers are just Europeans who settled in Africa making them immigrants and not indigenous or natural Africans, their culture and language is unique because it is foreign.

jl115:
What if I told you genetically Khoisan are not black?

I’d listen and wait for you to give me evidence

jl115:
Probably the most ret@rded thing you've ever said!! having black skin doesn't make you a Black African..........otherwise Indians and even some coloured people in SA would be classified as Black!!!

Hell not even the South African government classifies Khoisan as black.....they are classified as coloured in South Africa!

Also if you look at the definition of indigenous then Boers are certainly indigenous

I very clearly said indigenous to Africa, so Indians and other groups can’t be because they’re not within Africa and the ones that are. Are immigrants to Africa.

Nobody outside of South Africa uses the term coloured I learnt that very quickly when I left and I called someone coloured it is a racist term. Elsewhere Khoisan are considered black or light skin ( which is another type of black people )

And you know exactly what I mean by indigenous. When I say indigenous I don’t accept groups who immigrated into Africa a few centuries ago. I’m talking of people who’s ancestors ancestors lived on this continent, the boers are just Dutch people even they’re language shows this.


Don’t use the term coloured just trust me. And there’s a difference between a light skin and an Indian, or Indonesian or someone from Philippines remember that they are considered they’re own ethnic group

jl115:
Boer are indigenous to SA hence you don't find them anywhere but in SA and Khoisan are not Black!!

Boers are not indigenous to Africa being indigenous has nothing to do with being found in one country and the khoisan are black that is their skin color that is their race, although their facial structure is different from other Africans they are still black and Africans and only one of those is indigenous and even if they are that just means that the ancient Egyptians were blacks, the boers didn’t exist back then and the Khoisan didn’t even reach that far up north so you’ve simply proved my point

This is laughable how tf can the boers claim themselves as an indigenous group of Africans that’s a load of bullshit plain and simple
