Culture / Re: Benin Kingdom In Edo Is Yoruba Territory — Ooni Of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi by adsonstone: 1:17pm On Feb 22, 2016 |
opal4real: It is insulting when you say another person has 'little or no I.Q., and needs cheese balls and bobo juice to reason better.' Imagine such was said to you, or your dad...or even any grown friend of yours...in your presence; how will it sound? Like an insult or not? I wouldn't dwell on that anyway. opal4real: 1. You did not say when the word 'Oba' enter into the Edo lexicon. 2. What is the 'deep meaning' of Oba in Edo? The word/title Oba only started to exist when Oba Eweka created it. "The title of Oba was created by Oba Eweka I, Benin Empire's first 'Oba', who is said to have ascended to power at some time between 1180 and 1300." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_of_Benin Oba as used in the Yoruba Language was adopted from the Edo people. opal4real: "The Benin word for King is Ogie or Ogiso changed to Oba" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_(ruler) Though, it (Ogiso) literally means 'King(s) of the sky' but realistically; it means King ordained by God or God ordained king. ihuanedo.ning.com/m/blogpost?id=2971192%3ABlogPost%3A58541 |

sotall: Oba is a 'title' for kings in Benin just like Alake, Ooni, Alaafin are titles for kings in Yoruba; it really doesn't mean King. The title was created by Eweka, who happens to be one of the descendants of Yoruba King Oduduwa; who himself was a rejected bini prince. The Edo-Yoruba is quite interwoven anyway. |

AlPeter: King in Edo/bini is Ogiso. When exactly did the Yourbas start using the word 'Oba' for King...and when did 'oba' ever translate to mean King in bini language? Date please! |

olisaEze: cecegorz: Oba is the word for King in the Yoruba language of contemporary West Africa Nigeria. Kings in Yorubaland are known as Obas, for example Oba Sijuade of Ile ife, Oba Aromoralan of Ijeshaland, Oba Adeyemi of Oyo, Oba Eriediewa of Benin. The Benin people adopted the word from the Yoruba. The Benin word for King is Ogie or Ogiso changed to Oba when Eweka l son of yoruba prince Oranmiyan came to the throne in Benin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_(ruler) Hope you can see that the Bini man is lying when he says the word 'Oba' is indigenous to the Bini kingdom 2 Likes |

Culture / Re: Benin Kingdom In Edo Is Yoruba Territory — Ooni Of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi by adsonstone: 2:46pm On Feb 11, 2016 |
There's no controversy about the fact that was stated by the Ooni. Oba is a Yoruba word meaning King. Kings in Bini were known as Ogiso or Ogie. Obas of Benin are subject to the Ooni...because they're his children (from time past). |

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't change however, the woman may use her husband's state of origin when she needs to. |

Politics / Re: Why Are Most Igbos Towns Made Up Of 90-98% Igbos Or Native? by adsonstone: 1:30am On Jan 11, 2016 |
realjoker: Well said, Op. In my opinion, the level of hostility in the south east is quite high and opportunities are not as many as they are in other regions. I believe these two factors rank top. I've had a couple of friends (corpers) who found it difficult to secure an apartment because they weren't Natives...and when they finally got, they had to pay more compared to my other corpers who were natives. An average 'rational' Nigerian will seek 'greener pastures' and that's why the South Easterners and Northerners are quite many in the SouthWest and SouthSouth. 1 Like |

iamkeyz: In as much as I agree with some points up there eg; that the South Easterners engage mostly in merchandise, I disagree with most of the points stated as only an uninformed individual will make those points. 1. SeaPorts. As the name implies, Seaports can only be built where there are Seas/Oceans easily accessible by Ships and other means of transportation on/in water. Anyone who has a little knowledge of geography or maps will know that ALL states in the SE are landlocked thus, it is not possible to build seaports in the SE. That's the reason for the absence of seaports and not hatred for the SE. Infact, only the South West and the South South have Seaports of all the regions in Nigeria. 2. "Good" International Airports The Akanu Ibiam International Airport is in Enugu State in the South East. The last time I checked, no region in Nigeria has more than ONE international Airport, the North East has none. The same Airport in the SE; despite being relatively new, it has undergone renovations to upgrade its facilities. Murtala Mohammed International has been there for years, crying for help yet nothing is being done to it, there has been numerous complaints about it...even here on NL (eg www.nairaland.com/2859691/bad-state-port-harcourt-international-airport), yet, I don't see South Westerners complain of hatred or Neglect...or even the North easterners that have none, we don't hear them. 3. Good Federal Roads and Projects In as much as many of the SE roads are bad just like in many other regions, the SE still boasts of some of the best federal roads in Nigeria like the Obiozora-Iziagu road ...and for other projects; yes, the FG has hospitals and Schools; infact, some of the best Nigerian Universities like; University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, Michael Okpara Uni. of Agric., Umudike, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka....just to mention a few. You have no evidence to show that Nigeria has tagged Igbos as evil since the civil war besides, if the South Easterners are really friendly as you claim, they will not seek secession. My simple advise to you and every other south easterner is that you should focus on positives and seek the unity and progress of Nigeria, rather than secession. May God Bless and Uphold Nigeria. |
Religion / Re: Why We Must Stop Praying Or Bowing To Mary by adsonstone: 6:32pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
Letsgoandfuck: She wasn't 'lucky' because God did not choose at random. As the bible rightly puts it, Mary is highly favoured; blessed among all women. She in particular was chosen to bear our Lord Jesus Christ who is the saviour of ALL men which includes Mary (Luke 1:46-47), those that were dead...and even those that are yet to be born. |
Religion / Re: My Experience At A Church Today Almost Made Me Cry by adsonstone: 11:34am On Jan 10, 2016 |
Weeee: Nothing up there suggests that anyone is being forced to give. "Who wants to give...?" "If you have...and want to?" It is not compulsory to give, I've never seen a 'Church' that forces its members to give; members ought to give wilfully. 2Cor 9:7 Giving is a gateway for more blessings, it is good to give willingly; the bible affirms it. 2Cor 9:6 As for the poor Church members, they are responsible for themselves, one is not poor without his own consent...and yes, poor people should give. Mark 12:42-44 Do you have a problem with people giving wilfully? 1 Like |

This 'pre wedding' pictures seems to be taking a new twist. Very soon, ladies will make it 'compulsory' for their prospective spouses. You'll start hearing statements like 'I can't marry someone who will not be able to take me to the U.S.A for pre-wedding photos,' or 'I and my fiance MUST travel to Paris for our pre-wedding photos.' 1 Like |

First, you have to show where the guy declared that "Jesus didn't approve the rosary"...let's know if he actually said it or if it is another false allegation...as usual.
