Christianity EtcRe: Is There Anything Wrong In One Not Going To Church But Believes So Much In God? by ajl: 5:11pm On Mar 20, 2022
There is a reason Europeans and Arabs used religions to hold Africans down. They know what they met in Africa. They use their religions to dispossess Africans of their true spiritual ways and their power. Look at the internal guilt you are feeling for not going to church. There is a reason why you are feeling that way. But at some point, depending on your spiritual knowledge and growth, it won't matter any more. You just need to grow spiritual.

oz4real83:
this is the racism that goes with white. Even though this fruit is found in Africa, they gave it their English version of name instead of looking for one local African language name to give to it. If this fruit was in Italy, France, Spain or any other European country, they would have called it in the languages of those European countries just like Spaghetti, macaroni, mayonnaise and many others.
Because we allow them to mess with us. Until we get our acts together and do away with their system.

There are earthly benefits to the Christian religion.
Check the regions of the world where civilization and industrialization and innovations and inventions largely emanated from - Christian dominated areas.
Most of the boom in Asia was made possible by their young people going to the West for education.
So there is a nexus between the two.
Why is Africa not the home and hotbed of inventions and innovations?
Did Sango or Ifá give you the phone you used to type your comment?
You are one of the dumbest African alive. Western philosophy says "Ignorance is bliss". But ancient Africans in Egypt said "ignorance is evil".

Africans are currently poor because they choosed not to do what they are supposed to do, and because of their evil acts to one another. The West is materially rich because of a culture of seeking knowledge, and a culture that exhibit habits that promotes prosperity. More so, their prosperity is built on the pain and back of few other races. It's good that you mentioned IFA. The binary code in IFA is what the white people used to invent the computer. IFA is the first source of knowledge to use binary system. Although the white man won't admit that it's the source of their knowledge of binary system but they learn it from Arabia who learnt it from the Africans. Some Europeans also came directly to Yorubaland to collect information about IFA. So, blame mentally lazy Africans like you. It's one thing to have knowledge and another to use it. But the white man help you self-destruct one another in order to keep you down, so as to claim their own supremacy.

How could a people hate themselves and the knowledge of their ancestors so much because of some foreign religions? People have become spiritual and economic slaves of owners of those religions. Do people ever wonder that their ancestors are not happy with them because they continue to dishonor their ancestors. Not any different from other Africans. Orunmila, Yoruba divinity for knowledge and wisdom said this of them. :

"That they are like a hoe that faces home while heading to the farm, and also faces the farm while heading home. Which divined for a slave claiming that the king is his kinsman. Who doesn't know why the hoe always act irrationally".

She ought to be sued. Especially because it was the family and not her that was paying the hospital bill. This is what religion is doing to many Nigerians. That's how my younger brother who practices Islam refused to show up at a remembrance thanksgiving for our late dad. His claim is that his type of religion doesn't allow it. He probably joined an Islamic sect in Lagos.

you are right but the portable own no clean and he do say it publicly .I remember one day he was aurging with his former promoter that he was angry, you will know he's not ordinary. whatever charm they do for him, it's temporary. with time his eyes go clear
So, it's the charm that is singing, dancing and writing the songs? The charm is also the music producer, manager and marketing manager. Go and use the "charm" without natural talent. Natural talent comes first. Personally, nothing wrong in using a "charm" that allow the world to see your talent because of witches and wizard like this poster that are probably happy sitting on people's talent. They love playing God. Portable talent don escape from where dem carry bucket cover his talent..... grin grin grin

Example of Grace, even some people will still say it is soap whereas there are some people that are using soap, grace never show forth in there lives.
Ever heard of the Yoruba word "Ori"? This doesn't mean Ori as in head but as in your Essence. We also use destiny as one meaning. Ori is the spiritual author of your fate here on earth. The kind of "Ori" you choose in the "spirit world" before you were given birth to determine what you will turn out to be here on earth. Though there are other factors. Other things like natural talents are things granted to you in the spirit world. In yoruba, we call this "Akunlegba", meaning something your granted while on your knees. According to Orunmila, the Yoruba divinity for wisdom who was also present when every being was created, he said that your Ori, Owo, and Ese determines whether you will be successful in life.

Owo means hands. These suggests the things you use your hands to do while here on earth. Like the job, business, or trade you choose to do.

Ese means leg, and suggest the efforts you put in what you do. Or places you or people you choose to meet in order to achieve success. For example, some jobs or business require that you have interpersonal skill or communication skills. If you want to be successful, you are required to make effort to have those skills.

There is nothing like prosperity in Yoruba spiritual cosmology. You cannot me richer than you are destined to be. If you go out of your way to pursue riches that your Ori did not apportion to you, there are consequences for this. Though, you can be aided to align your life to fit what your Ori destined for you, no one would promise you wealth. Or you can be aided to remove spiritual obstacles standing between you and your destined success. Any act outside of this is evil. And any individual promising to help you get rich using some ritual is helping plan your downfall because it will surely not end well.

You're right there! ✓
When you have few rich people exercising power, the society is weak. Their system allows few to be more powerful. Many Russians don't support what Putin and his bunch of oligarchs are doing and if they speak up, they are pursued, arrested and locked up - just like it is in Nigeria. Putin is going down.
Russia is also a corrupt country where few get rich at the expense of the masses. Like Russia, there are couple of oligarchs in Nigeria that are made rich by people in government. They make each other rich. Kickback and kick-forward.

NATO can end everything by just assuring Russia that they won't expand east and all this will end quicker than it began, but they won't.

Before quoting me, please educate yourself about the Cuban missile crisis when US almost went to war with Cuba because it was getting too close to the Soviets.
As sad as it is, you have a point and you are surely right. It's a game they all play. I can't say I really don't care if they wipe out each other countries because I reside in one. We will see out it turns out.

Everything seems to get energy and destiny.

Throughout my primary school days, yellow house always came last in inter-house sports competitions.

No wonder scientists are speaking about dark matter.

This is an unseen energy which permeates and defines everything.

That's why things like repeating themselves because there is a force that defines and orders everything.

A man who is not handsome or rich may find that every where he goes, women are the ones asking him out.

But normally, such women don't ask men out but when they see him, they will just find themselves running after him.

That explains why things like repeating themselves to a particular person but not to other people.
I was thinking in the same direction as well but not sure of the working details. I know colours carry their respective energies.

I just did a brief investigation using the Yoruba cosmology by trying to know the colours of the Orisas (deities). Interestingly, the Orisa that uses yellow colour has a female energy. Blue is for Yemoja which is androgynous (male and female energy). Red goes for ever powerful Sango. Esu also uses red. Sango and Esu are male energies. Ogun, the warlord, uses green, and its a male energy.

It now make sense why yellow houses often come last. Because yellow is for Oshun, a female deity, for love and fertility. Physical strength is not her specialty. But she is powerful in other areas.

In my high school days, blue house often came second and few times first. And the deity that use blue has both male and female energy. Yemaja is hermaphrodite.

I will say 70% of the times, blue house came first. Ogun who is male energy is extremely powerful and known for wars and likes. The ever elusive and tricky Esu uses red and black as colours.

It all make sense.

In every secondary school interhouse sports.. yellow house always have all the resources and manpower but somehow always come last ..

If you no experience this for your secondary school, you no go secondary school for 9ja be that.
That was exactly our experience at Methodist Boys High School, Lagos. Each of our houses had names with colors. You know the school was initially a missionary school, and the names were British. I hope they have changed the names. Didsbury was green, Handsworth was blue, Kingsbridge was red, and Westminster, my house, was yellow. Coincidentally, for almost all the years I was at MBHS, Westminster, my house, was almost always last. I think it was only once we missed the last place. Didsbury (green) was often the top performer.

See the way British Methodist missionary wanted to turn our head upside down, gave British names to something in Nigeria. And for over hundred years as at when I attended, no one thought it right to change the names. Even after government took over missionary schools in Lagos.

You are mad. This is the same statement he was making before your terrorist president decided to attack him. Go check his statements at all his rallies. He only said he would fight back if he was attacked in daylight. But he knows that if they come at night, there would be no clear evidence if he choose to use his own means to defend himself. He is someone with foresight and good judgment. Not the pack of criminals in govt. More so, those elders that are with him will advise him against use of violence. Violence is typically not part of Yoruba culture except it get to a point that they have no choice.
