Christianity Etc › Re: The Vatican To A New Corruption Case by amor4ce(m): 1:45am On May 31, 2012
Rome/Vatican will soon be sunk, but this time it will be worse than the fate of Pompeii when Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. This would shatter the deceits of Christianity and expose the racism of those who look down on blacks all over the world. Note that there was a temple of Jupiter/Zeus/IeZeus/JeZeus in Pompeii that was also destroyed.

I don't see why the descendants of Cain should be portrayed as evil because of the crime perpetrated by their ancestor. Cain settled in Nod (Ondo) and one of his descendants, Tubal-Cain is known to the Yoruba as Ogun. Is it coincidence that Ondo is the center for veneration of Ogun (Tubal-Cain). See for yourself how Tubal-Cain is described in Genesis 4:22 and tell me whether or not that description fits Ogun.

I know very little of the Yoruba Orisha, and even the Yoruba language, else I would have done my own analysis and seen what you pointed out as the difference between Yewa and Yehve. But it doesn't change the meaning of Yehve/Yeve/Yihwe except Modupe Oduyoye got it wrong. Note that this same Oduyoye was able to demonstrate that the Biblical Nod is Ondo and that Cain is Ogun though my counter argument is that Tubal-Cain, the instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron who most likely lived in Ondo/Nod, is in fact Ogun (see Genesis 4:16,32). Also, I did not allude to anything about snake worship but I think it is well explained in this document (quite lengthy but insightful).


*Yoruba ajo is cognate with Hebrew Haj and Arabic Hajj
*“Alhaji” is cognate with Yoruba Alejo
*Igbo “dibia” (medicine man) is cognate (has the same origin) with Arabic “tibia” (Physician, doctor)
the irun-prefix in Yoruba Irunmale (divinities) hitherto thought to be “400” to the Arabic” word harem and Hebrew herem both of which convey the idea of “sacred” or “holy”
*Ijebu “Lisa” (chief of first rank) to Igbo “Olise” (“God” as in Olisemeka) to “Lesa” among the Ambo of Malawi, the Barotse, the Bemba, the Kaonde, Lala, Lamba; the “l-s” consonantal root (which liquid forms are r-s” “l-z” “r-th” which all convey the idea of “head” “chief” first”) is cognate with Hebrew “rosh” (first) to Arabic “ras,” Aramaic “resh” and Akkadian “rishu”. And to Yoruba “Orisha”; Hebrew “Harison-iym” is translated “Ancestors” in Psalm 79.8 , the “-iym” being a mere plural suffix in Hebrew
*gibbor-iym (Yoruba al-agbara)


The name Jesus is derived from the Greek Zeus/IeZeus/JeZeus and is counterfeit. In 168BC Antiochus IV Epiphanes set up an altar to Zeus on top of God's altar in the Temple at Jerusalem. After 135 AD the Romans shattered the people of Judah, destroyed the Temple, and built on that site a temple to Jupiter (Roman name for Zeus). Blacks were driven away from the Levant and their populations replaced. The culprits have been preparing to repeat same here in Nigeria by various means including abandoning/doubting our history. They tried earlier during the slave trade and we should thank Olodumare for using mosquitoes to weaken them - note that they've been spending a lot of resources to shield themselves from tropical diseases like malaria to make our land hospitable for them. It is not for nothing that in the past, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone were called the white man's grave.

Yahweh was the Bronze Serpent–nahas nehustan

(The reader with special interest in the subject of this section is advised to follow the argument with the aid of any comprehensive online etymology dictionary, and the reader interested in further researching the dissemination of the root of Y-W-, as discussed in this section, is advised to read Modupe Oduyoye's Afro-Asiatic Interpretation of Genesis and also consult any good etymology dictionary. The reader will also find D. MacKenzie's, Migration of Symbols invaluable for appreciation of the universality of spiral symbols and vortices in religious-mystical tradition).

Asklepius

We may glean evidence in support of the view that the dazzling serpent entwined Asklepian pole was the symbol of the Kenitic Yahweh, and a totemic symbol of the Kenitic clan of Yahweh worshipers, from the worldwide dissemination of the root Y-W- a form of the Afro-Asiatic root verb h-w-h ('to be"wink.

We shall begin our tour in West Africa. Oduyoye, notes the incidence of the root Y-W- in the religious cults of the following West African peoples: Among the Fon (the voodoo or vodu cult of Benin Republic or Dahomey) we have the word "Yehwe," meaning: "spirit," "divine spirit." Among the Ewe of Togo, we have "Yeve," meaning also "divine spirit." Among the Gun (also of West Africa) we have "Yihwe" or "Yehwe" meaning "a "god" or "spirit or divine being. Among the Yoruba of the "slave coast" we have the antique virgin goddess Yewa ("our mother," "our lady" cognate with the root h-w-h, of the verb "to be"wink.

I would also like to state that the mother as a christian(obviously not strong in the faith)knew using the bible(if fake)would result in an unforgiveable sin for lying against the holy spirit.As for me this story is fake,close and dusted.xtians dont let any hoax bring any disbelieve on your faith.THEY ARE ALL ANTICS OF LUCIFER.brb.

As nobody as I am when I shoot the name of Jesus Christ, no demon possessed or attack there challenge the name, so what Name do you want us to use that is working for you without soiling your hands in evil covenant/ demonic activities

I still insist that our people forgot ELEDUMARE's personal name. Eledumare is a title/appellation just like that of Yoruba kings e.g. Alaketu of Ketu, Elepe of Epe, Oniru of Iru,Olubadan of Ibadan, etc.

It seems our people got drunk/fat, began to misbehave, and then forgot Eledumare's own name; Olodumare, Eledumare, Olorun, and Eleda are titles/epithets. Let us seek to know and confess HIS name before trying to point fingers at the oyinbo/Amorites.

Politics › Re: The Kwerekwere Testament by amor4ce(op): 8:42am On May 11, 2012
A remarkable incident in The Kwerekwere Testament occurs when Orakwe runs into his friend Obi Obiora who leading others in initiation rituals of the Inagba cult where a baby is killed, his heart eaten and his flesh pounded to a pulp with pestles. Orakwe refuses to be a part of it all and ends up killing Obiora with the pestle in self-defence.

After the killing, Orakwe goes to Durban to stay with his girlfriend Nosipho and then travels to Johannesburg airport for the trip back to Nigeria with only 20 Rands in his pocket. He is nearly prevented at the airport from travelling back on account of his “cack” Study Permit extension. His vigorous protests attract attention until he is allowed to travel at the very final boarding announcement. Orakwe gets picked up at the Lagos airport by his brother Ugonna, the wife Ifeoma and the human rights lawyer Ekundayo.

In The Kwerekwere Testament: The Complete Chronicles Kenneth Chukwuka Madiebo has done a great and courageous duty to the unspoken truths beneath our existence. The authorities and the establishment may not like to hear this testament, but it remains a bulwark for the march of civilization. South Africa needs to change its ways. No nation has ever made it through insularity and exclusion. Here is a grand historical document that needs to travel.

However, there are niggling editing errors in regard to punctuation and quotation marks, capitals, and the spelling of names like Mohammed as “Mohamed” . All these can of course be tidied up in the next edition.

All these do not detract from the fact that Kenneth Chukwuka Madiebo poured it all out straight from the heart. It is through such a conviction that the course of history is changed. May his tribe increase!

This is the concluding part of the review. Did you notice the bias, especially as indicated in the last paragraph, of the reviewer who refused to acknowledge the ignominy of his people's behaviour?

Nigerian Kwerekwere in Southern Africa

Book Review Titles: The Kwerekwere Testament: The Complete Chronicles Author: Kenneth Chukwuka Madiebo Reviewer: Uzor Maxim Uzoatu Publisher: ArtRelated Year of Publication: 2011 Pagination: 401

Let's just start with a very fundamental definition. "Kwerekwere" is the derogatory term that black South Africans and, indeed, sundry black Southern Africans use when referring to unwanted foreign blacks especially Nigerians.

The Kwerekwere Testament: The Complete Chronicles is autobiography-disguised-as-fiction. Its author Kenneth Chukwuka Madiebo is the son of Major-Gen Alexander Madiebo (rtd), the Nigerian military's first Artillery Commander and Biafran Army Commander, who authored the pivotal book The Nigerian Revolution and the Biafra War. It's crucial to get the pedigree of the author especially as he earned his degree in veterinary medicine in Nigeria before venturing into Swaziland to sell clothes only to end up in Southern Africa for all of thirteen-and-a-half years! He lays it all bare at the end of the book with these words: "I should know all this, because I was a kwerekwere for thirteen-and-a-half years."

In the prologue, it is explained that another alias for a foreign unwanted person other than Kwerekwere is "Ngangawane" but both terms translate to insults such as white South Africans calling the blacks "Kaffir", or whites generally addressing blacks as "Niggers". The darker the person's skin is the worse kwerekwere he becomes such that "even bona fide black South Africans especially from the Venda and Pedi tribes, have been arrested for being too black, with the immigration officials labeling them Zimbabweans." The xenophobia in South Africa is such that Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka was in 2005 denied entry at South Africa's Airport for eight hours until Nelson Mandela and his wife Graca Machel had to intervene.

The protagonist of The Kwerekwere Testament Orakwe flies into Swaziland at noon on December 13, 1994 to sell Nigerian traditional attires in the company of his friend Tony Okereke who had snared him into the profitability of the trade. Tony's contact in Swaziland, the Tanzanian Mohammed, who had earlier said he would pay cash for the goods ducks out of the deal thus leaving the duo stranded. In his thatch mud habitation in rustic Swaziland a distraught Orakwe ruminates on what his dad had told him: "This is a senseless move you are about to make, son." He recalls also how his father had advised him back in Nigeria not to undertake an Alsatian puppies' business that doomed him to bankruptcy. Actually he had in 1993 secured provisional employment in the Drug Enforcement Agency of Nigeria as a dog veterinarian only to be denied and kicked out unceremoniously. It is against this background of graduate unemployment that exporting traditional attires and even snake skins to Swaziland becomes a veritable lure.

Orakwe resorts to basically hawking the wares with his companion Tony when no big-time buyer could step forward. He desperately had to make a phone call to his Swazi in-laws who had only recently been in his Nigerian hometown of Awka to see their daughter married to his cousin, but no dice was forthcoming. Now trapped and knowing that his plans to be back in Nigeria for the December 1994 celebrations is at best unreasonable, Orakwe decides to survive on the brink with shady characters like Saul Slave-Trade who is involved in human trafficking of the sex trade variety. Orakwe gets the task of travelling into Mozambique to ferry back the prostitute Patricia who had some immigration problems, but comes back empty-handed and unrewarded as the girl Patricia had somehow found her way into Swaziland.

He meets up with 30-year-old Ndubuisi Akunwata who sold off his two restaurants and transport buses in Aba for the journey to South Africa. Ndubuisi's friend, Okoroafor Freedom, in South Africa to whose family in Nigeria he had paid $1000 reduces the man to a slave before kicking him out in the cold, but the man from Aba had managed to pilfer his master's $5,000 with which he runs to Swaziland and back to Aba. Orakwe becomes exposed to the mules on the drug runs to Brazil and Europe such as Chima who gets jailed in England and later in Columbia.

Orakwe fortuitously makes contact with his classmate Mike Dagogo who had graduated at the top of the class but is now a big Johannesburg baron who advises that he should immediately cross over to South Africa. The crossing to South Africa is done by Osaze "Swaz", past the dangerous pass at Ermelo and onto Johannesburg. The beauty of the white cities does not hide the ugliness of the black shanties even as Orakwe gets a heroic welcome from Mike Dagogo only to soon learn that everything for the kwerekwere comes down to survival of the fittest on "The Streets". It's instructive to note that his lecturer "Dr. Azubuike, who has PhD in veterinary pharmacology from the University of the Southeast, sells pinches of cocaine in Berea."

Mike Dagogo organises his procurement of the paper to move around South Africa atop which is printed "Temporary Permit to Prohibited Person", thanks to Section 42 of the United Nations. His mentor Mike has a shouting match with the white receptionist of their lodgings, Melanie Kruger, over arrears of rent, and she invites the police bursting in on the Nigerians at 4AM. After a thorough search no cocaine is found. Then the Nigerians eventually get thrown out of the 905 Apartment. Mike who earlier would not reduce his bosom classmate Orakwe to hustling drugs on "The Streets" now declares that he is "broke too" such that everybody has to find ways to survive.

Orakwe goes back to Swaziland when his old friend Tony informs him that a surefire job for a veterinary doctor is there for the taking. The job does not manifest and he tries out the business of the Croydon Diamonds. He does eventually go back to South Africa where he is nearly beaten to death by racist white cops at Jan Visser Square where he had gone to save his acquaintance Romanus. He is charged with dealing in drugs which becomes reduced to illegal possession and, finally, bribery. He is granted bail for 3,000 Rands. He is reduced to starting literally afresh. He then learns that his friend who made him to come South in the first place, Tony Okereke, had got lucky by being handed cocaine sent through a courier company.

Orakwe makes much money through the forging of documents. In short, he becomes the most artful forger in the land. He indulges in 419 letter-writing, duping the South Korean businessmen Kwon and Kim in league with the tag team of Oga-Yawe and Benita who would eventually cheat him out of the deal. Ogo-Yawe then travels to Nigeria to marry Benita on Easter weekend of 2001, then the couple would travel to Dublin then London only to return to South Africa, broke.

To make something of his life after all, Orakwe abandons "The Streets" for admission into the prestigious College of Medicine of the University of the West for a Master's Degree in Public Health. His troubles do not end as he tangles up with the racist Professor "Asbestos Killer". The racists attempt to make him not to graduate by not giving him a supervisor. He writes a protest letter to the black vice-chancellor and all hell is let loose. He then graduates in June 2007. [review is incomplete; remaining section in the Sun of May 6 2012]

Politics › Tricycle Operators Groan Over Rising Cases Of Theft by amor4ce(op): 5:02am On May 07, 2012
By Vincent Ukpong Kalu
Saturday May 05, 2012
https://www.sunnewsonline.com/images/keke-marwa.jpg


After toiling all day to eke out a living, operators of commercial tricycles popularly called Keke Marwa in Ojo area of Lagos, now sleep with one eye closed, leaving the other open to monitor movements around their tricycles, which have suddenly become endangered species due to a new found love for them by robbers.

According to operators of the tricycles, over 17 of them are stolen monthly from the Ojo area of Lagos alone, a development that has sent fears among operators and businessmen that lease them out on hire purchase. Beyond the panic, the rising cases of stealing of the tricycles is also affecting business for investors who import them and operators who usually buy them between N600, 000 and N650, 000.

The frequent reports of missing Keke Marwa has also landed many operators in prison due to their inability to meet up with the payment arrangements with investors who resort to the use of law enforcement agents to arrest and prosecute operators who lose their tricycles.
A sigh of relief however came the way of the troubled operators recently when they got wind that some of their stolen tricycles were being loaded in a South East bound lorry at “I Love Jesus Garage”, in Alaba International Market, Ojo.

The operators led by Comrade Obafemi Ayejegun swiftly reported the incident at the Ojo Police Division where policemen were detailed to storm the scene where four of the tricycles were recovered and one Daniel with another suspect were arrested.

According to Ayejegun, “We got a tip off that at a garage in Alaba International market that twice in a week or weekly, Keke Marwa are loaded in South East bound lorries and that presently they were four being loaded. We promptly reported to the Ojo police to avoid confrontation if we go there on our own. Some plain- clothe policemen were sent with us to the garage and they recovered four of them about to be loaded in the lorry.”
Painting pathetic picture of what his members are passing through, the union leader, said that “ some of the operators are in prison custody in Kirikiri because their tricycles were stolen and the businessmen that gave them out on hire purchase couldn’t believe their stories, reported them to police and they were arraigned and later remanded if they couldn’t meet up with the bail conditions.”

The manager of the garage was not around when Saturday Sun visited. However, Sunday Nduka, one of the workers in the garage said “ this morning police men from Ojo police station and many people that said they were Keke marwa union officials and operators came here and asked who parked the four Kekes here. We showed the police the boy that was loading the lorry and they arrested him.” Nduka denied that the garage is where stolen Kekes are transported to the East, as according to him, they have never loaded Keke at the garage before. He said those who brought the tricycles to the garage wore the uniform jackets for keke riders.
One of the victims, Jerry Chimaobi is so lucky as his missing Keke was one of the four to be taken to the East. According to him, he leased it to one Tunde, an operator. “On Easter Monday morning, Tunde came to tell me that the new Keke that was less than six weeks old has been stolen. We reported to police stations in Ojo, Ilemba Hausa and Okoko and there was no report of its whereabouts until now. I thank God for exposing the people behind this evil job”, he explained.

Some of the victims that besieged the garage told Saturday Sun their catalogue of woes and how their Kekes were stolen from where they were parked in front of their compounds, well locked and secured.
Ibrahim said he spent two weeks in Kirikiri before he could meet his bail conditions last week. According to him, he got his Keke on hire purchase and in order to meet up, when he was sick sometimes in March, he had to give it to another operator to work instead of it lying idle. “ The following day, I was told that the Keke was missing, we reported to all the police stations around and it was not found. I have only paid N120, 000 and leaving a balance of N480, 000. I was supposed to pay N600, 000. The businessman that gave it to me on hire purchase didn’t want to hear that story. He reported to the police and I was arrested and arraigned. The magistrate asked me, are you guilty or not, I said I was not guilty. I was granted bail and the matter fixed for another day. I was taken to Kirikiri prison because I couldn’t meet the bail terms it was just last week that I was released on bail”, Ibrahim narrated.

Another victim, Solomon Adeyaju, told how after the day’s work, he had parked his keke in front of his compound and only woke up in the morning to realize that it was missing. He went to all the police stations in Ojo area to report the incident. According to him, the owner has not taken him to the police as they were hoping that it would be found. “I parked in front of my house after locking the neck and chained it. They came in the night, broke the chain and took it away. I have paid N150, 000. When in the morning that I didn’t see the Keke, I went to report at the police stations.”

Narrating his own experience, Okechi who is an investor in the business said he leased his own keke on hire purchase to operators. He however added that he gave one to a young man to operate but was stolen and has not been seen since February.
A victim from Itegbi in Shibiri, Ajangbadi area of Ojo also narrated how his keke that he was yet to fix its number plate was stolen. According to him, he just bought it and had registered it but was waiting to fix the number plates before he discovered that it was missing.
While reacting to the rampant cases of missing Keke Marwa in Lagos, the state police public relations officer, Joseph Jaiyej oba, said the command does not have a record of missing tricycles as the operators have not been forth coming with such information.

Christianity Etc › Lords And Thrones by amor4ce(op): 8:03am On May 01, 2012
Baal is said to be a Canaanite word that is translated as Lord. In the Yoruba language there is a title known as Baalẹ held by men which means father of the land as it is derived from baba ilẹ – baba is Yoruba for father while ilẹ is land/ground/earth. As baalẹ is linguistically equivalent to baal it is reasonable to accept that lord means father of the land.

The baalẹ is the head of a Yoruba community where there is no Oba (king) but is not the king as he has no crown and is thus of a lower rank. Similarly, within the British monarchy from which is the English language, lords serve in the House of Lords as members of parliament. These lords are not of the same rank as a British king or queen. Is it therefore not an error to refer to the Everlasting Father or Lord of Lords, as if we deny HIS throne and that HE sits on a throne? Consider also that HIS throne has no earthly comparison as Heaven is HIS throne. Also, has any earthly throne ever been associated with the titles lord and baalẹ?

Furthermore, since Melchizedek, priest of God Most High, refers to HIM as Possessor of Heaven and Earth, and Lord and Baalẹ are titles restricted to the earth alone, would it not be a grave error to associate a lower title with HIM?

With all these in mind it should be safe to expunge the word Lord from all Biblical publications. It is worth noting that its widespread use is a legacy of the British monarchy, the Church of England, and the publishers of the King James Version of the Bible – including the Old and New Testaments. This particular Amorite legacy is terrible for luring people to forget the name of God Most High, that is, YEHVE, and instead use Lord in stark contrast to the lexicon of the original texts. Consider also the way Lord has been used all over the New Testament.

Jeremiah 23:26-27. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Thankfully, baalẹ is not used in Yoruba translations –from English – of the Bible. Rather, other words like Oluwa which can mean Our Benefactor are used. I want to believe that Biblical texts of other languages do not feature words equivalent to Lord or Baalẹ/Baal and that more apt titles are used.

If this was just a case of paranoia over semantics, why is it then written that the Ancient of Days will give us pure language at the appointed time?

Zephaniah 3:9. For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of YEHVE, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
