... is an idol

Olu317:
perpetual ignorance on your path

I agree.

Ifa does not support idol worshiping.

Ifa supports the feeling of deep respect and admiration towards all the Orisa.

'Idol worship' is an ancient Asian and ancient Eurocentric Crusader's terminology that they use to discriminate against anyone that does not belong to their religious sect.

The Africa pyche does not recognise such terminology as "Idol worship", as it does not translate correctly.

The people that history records as being Idol worshipers are found in ancient Arabia, ancient Greece, Persia and ancient Roman communities.

Olu317:
This is how you missed it because you thought ancestors were a form of angel but of course not because the ancestors who became deified.

I havent missed anything here, there is a common saying that goes as thus:

"There are Orisa and there are Orisa"

There are those of them that are akin to heroes, sages and prophetssic, whilst there are those that are said to have been in existence prior to the creation of the planet Earth.

To me, my grand father is an Orisa; yet for the sake of an accurate translation my grand father is a demadeity.

Orunmila is a premodial Orisa and his embodiment on planet Earth is known as one of the greatest philosophers the world has even seen https://www.nairaland.com/5258769/greatest-philosopher-all-time#79560051.

Orisa are NOT "Idols" or "lesser gods", as Abrahamic religion will have you believe, as in, the term "lesser gods" is readily reserved for Arabian, Greek, Persian and Roman mythology.

In all reality, the Visiers of Olodumare are divine representatives of the Almighty God on planet Earth.

Normally, Ancestor veneration can be an altogether seperate African concept and experience.

Olu317:
You don't know the Semitic language or able to interpret it.

Why would any African want to know about the Hebrew language?

The Hebrew language is a made up one and is connected to ficticious characters and manufactured religions.

According to Abrahamic text, the Hebrew language is claimed to have derived from the region of modern day Palestine.

How does that benefit the African?

How does that lead to progress in our world?

How does a language that originated in Asia help Africans to defeat colonisation and opression?

How?

The less we know about that fake language in the context of religion the better.

All i can gather from your investigations are that the people that invented that language did so by copying from the Yoruba language, apart from that, there are no other positive implications to derive thereafter.

I emplore you to continue with your robust investigations on an academic level rather than trying to use it to justify Christianity.

Nobody can successfully justify the horific crimes perpetuated by the ancient adherents of these Abrahamic religions.

Psychological: Manufactured religions. As long as we continue to assign ourselves to these foreign manufactured religions, then, that problem is hard to overcome.

Sociological:
Creating the false assumption and complete illusion that white is the literal opposite of black.

And then force the identification model that they are "white" and their grandfathers are "black".

That is said to be directly connected to our source of language and the religious sect that we belong.

Therefore, since we continue to educate ourselves using languages foreign to us, plus practising foreign religions, then, that problem is hard to overcome.

Militarily:
Creating the conditions whereby they retain military dominance.

Since most Africans educate ourselves using foreign languages, then, that problem is hard to overcome.

Conclusion, only once we all come together as one and dispatch away with all and every foreign religious, academic and sociological concepts can we expect to completely solve these triple-threat artificial problems. As did China, India, Japan, Pakistan e.t.c

Once we solve these identified artificial problems, then, the enviroment that allows for true progress will definately present itself to us.

You seem not understand the purpose of Bibo Ori? Well,it is obvious you're not too deeply knowledgeable on it because you placed hatred in your heart on something You don't know the Semitic language or able to interpret it. Anyway, as simple as ABC,Yoruba's ancestors acknowledged the adoring of the dead ancestors preference over Eleda(Ori) which provoked God in which the warning came down in Ori concept wworship that was posted earlier and which was a big mistake on the part of the yorubas. So, plainly Yoruba people missed it when you or I ignore ori bibo and place ancestors praise as preference. All Yoruba are ancestors( gods) .

Perhaps you don't know that even you will become an ancestor one day . This is how you missed it because you thought ancestors were a form of angel but of course not because the ancestors who became deified understood how to use the Asé ~ authoritative power of command to be (holy spirit from Christian perspective) in side of them to speak with God and they fellowship together.

I admire your understanding, yet there is one important pieces of information you might be overlooking here.

Christianity is a manufactured religion, and the reason it was forced upon Africans was due to an ancient Eurocentric project known as the "World Order".

That project began by the Romans hundred of thousands of years ago.

Initially all of Europe and parts of Asia abide by the laws and moral code of Africa.

Then one Roman Emperor deviced a plan that would enable Europe to dominate the globe both militarily and spiritualy.

His plan was dubbed "The World Order", it was during these times that Libya was invaded as the first post-pharaonic military campaign ever launched by Europe on African soil under the stewerdship of Portugal and Spain with the so-called blessing of the then Pope.

Its important to note that Rome was never stationary, Rome moved its administrative capital on various occasions, the most commonly talked about being Constantinople that is the modern day Istanbul in Turkey.

Rome is actually a Eurocentric political concept. One that only allows for European and or their descendants domination of the world.

The "World Order" and the so-called "New World Order" are one and the same.

The adherents of the "World Order" spend hundred and thousands of years trying to nail down their unwitty claims of superiority over everyone else.

What happened was that the Romans use all the intellectual tools available to their Emperor and political class to lay their foundation of world domination.

They use psychological, sociological and military inteligence to reach their goals and objectives.

The Asians also caused havoc. Its argued that if the Asian war mongerers hadnt launched their crazy holy wars inside the continent, the Eurocentric Crusaders would never have made the military progress they achieved on the continent.

Neither the trans Atlantic slave trade nor Colonisation would never had taken place.

The argument that the Europeans won most of their crazy battles because of internal conflict is false.

Most of the internal conflicts at the time was created or exacerbated by the adherents of the "World Order"

The reason they made in roads was due to the earlier Arab wars and military campaigns combined with the Christian missionaries and Jewish missionaries that precede the crazy dash for African treasure. There was also some local traitors. They, the missionaries and traitors, were emmisaries and spies to Europe's political class and they reported much of the situation on the ground.

The scramble for Africa was a calculated campaign that involved the political classes from all over Europe, Eurocentric Royalists of the entire continent of Europe, Christian and Jewish adherents; multiple meetings and various conferences.


It's rummoured that if you visit the Madonna chapel at the Vatican there is a model of mother and child representation of African divinities, some call it the "black Jesus", whilst some argue that it supppse to represent Isis and Horus as these was the Roman Empire's chosen religion at the time; the one that preceeded Roman Catholicism.

I understand all you say, yet, due to the language descrepancies, there is a great evil being perputuated by Abrahamic religion.

Orisa are divine entities.

Orisa are divine representatives of the Almighty God on planet Earth.

All the Orisa agree that Ori is one of the most important Orisa's for a good reason.

Therefore, intentionally using derogatory terms to qualify any of these divine entities and personal heroes is wrong and should cease immediately.

The term "Idol" in the context of religion was invented by Abrahimic religious Crusaders specifically to try and degrade local traditions and customs of their Colonies.

Zalmoxis: Thracian deity, Eastern and South Eastern Europeans believe that his death and resurrection assures them of eternal life.

Romulus: Roman state deity, has death and resurrection celebrated annualy.

Everyone should strive to acquire and read "Intellectual slavery, the worst legacy of Colonialism".

A great read.

Thank you Op, keep up the good work.

Lets assume three major Nigerian Languages: Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

(a)All Hausa speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to tertiary institution, the Hausa language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Igbo & Yoruba are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

(b) All Igpbo speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to tertiary institution, the Igbo language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Hausa & Yoruba are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

(c) All Yoruba speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to tertiary institution, the Yoruba language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Hausa & Igbo are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

Apart from the fact that the enviroment that allows for these type of conditions to hold will sustain numerous breakthroughs often in all our daily lives, especially in the Arts, Commerce, Science and Technology sectors.

Will further improve our correlation and communicational skills.

At a certain point in time after the implementation of these policies into the current education system, every Nigerian that passes through the new and improved version will be versed in at the least two Nigerian Languages.

Leading to a good solution in the scenarios presented in your book and further boosting the Nations overall productivity.

prince2ce:
is There any country called holy land? ...

No, theres no country that fits into such description.

There are holy towns and or cities however, and they can all be found on the African continent only; and are commonly known as being "sacred" opposed to "holy".

All the countries that claim to be "holy land" are full of fakers and liars.

Shinjitsu:
Christianity and her ideology was a noble cause when it came to Africa..

Christianity and noble cause are words and their opposite.

Nobody in their correct senses is meant to use 'Christianity' and 'noble cause' in the same sentence.

When infact all the evidence suggest that Abrahamic religions are all weapons of mass destruction.

Abrahamic religions are all false, fake and counterintuitive.

Shinjitsu:
..We keep blaming the white for it right...Cause it changed Africa ever since

And rightfully so, because it changed Africa in a negative way, before the forcefull introduction of Abrahamic religions, Africans are living in relative peace and harmony.

Sadly, after the forcefull injection of Abrahamic religions, war, conflict and desease try to take over.

Now is the time to take back control and get rid of all of those fake Abrahamic religions that are counterintuitive, unAfrican and majorly unfit for purpose.

bilms:
How?

How what? Kindly clarify.

Bad and twisted terminologies that are exclusive to Abrahamic religions and yet are meaningless outside of their religious gathering include:

'Idol', 'Idol Worship', 'Idol Worshiper', 'Gentile', 'Keferi', 'Non- Believer', 'Pagan', 'Unclean' e.t.c.

In Abrahamic religions, namely Christianity, Islam and Judaism, idolatry connotes the worship of deities and or divinities other than their specific individualistic interpretation of God.

Outside of Abrahamic religions, those type of terms stated above are deemed to be all false and invalid.

You will often catch them making use of unwitty and derogatory terminologies as 'false gods', trying to make it sound as though their manufactured religion is the one and only true version; when in all reality that is not true.

As a matter of fact, all manufactured religions are false, fake and counterintuitive.

When a delusional adherent of Abrahamic religions that hasnt had a bath since their day of birth is calling well kept people 'unclean', how does that make any sense?

....

The Jesus character was invented by the Romans

He takes out of various older characters, the most popular is Horus and this due to the striking characteristics they both possess.

The obvious one is the Mother-Child relationship,

Isis and Horus
Mary and Jesus

Then you have them using similar terminology:

"I am Horus in glory . . . I am the Lord of the Light . . . I am the victorious one . . . I am the heir of endless time . . . I, even I, am he that knoweth the path of heaven"


Then you have the "Ankh", according to Ancient Egyptians is supposed to be the symbol of re-birth or reincarnation. The one Horus is holding in the depiction below.

The authors of Abrahamic text plagerized Ancient Egyptian text and religious concepts as they did with various many others.

These similar pattern is also identified with relationships between Jesus and Krishna, Jesus and Buddha e.t.c

...Just look at Kwame Nkrumah, Robert Mugabe, etc. No amount of foreign exposure seems sufficient to vaccinate African elites against the usual illnesses of nepotism, tribalism, religious bigotry, kleptomania and sheer lust for power.

You are completely and utterly mistaken, Kwame Nkrumah and Robert Mugabe are amongst some of the greatest African leaders in recent history.

You need to re-educate yourself about the African narrative and cease listening to too much CNN.

Yoruba never have and never will be Idol worshhipers.

The term "Idol worship" is a nonsensical Abrahamic religious concept that is meaningless outside of European and Asian philosophy. i.e the term "Idol' makes better sense in a European and Asian context as is properly reserved for Arabian, Greek, Persian and Roman mythology.

The term "Idol" in the context of Abrahamic Religions is an immure and derogatory way of attempting to discredit all other faiths or religious concepts that arent Abrahamic.


That is to say, those that dont belong to any of the Abrahamic faith are automatically considered by adherents of Abrahamic religions as Idol worshipers. Which is in itself a nonsensical conclusion for anyone to make.

Yoruba Orisha is never an Idol in the context Abrahamic religions would have you believe..

Orisha are divine entities.

Orisha are in all reality divine representatives of the Almighty God on planet earth.

Amujale:
In as much that, the term "Idol" is an immure and derogatory construct that has no real meaning outside of Abrahamic text.

Ifa does not support idol worshiping.

Ifa has does indeed supports the feeling of deep respect and admiration towards the Orisa.

rokisammy:
So you expect Egyptians that are basically Muslims to credit such a historical incident to the Bible....
���

The current stock of Egyptians arent related to Ancient Egyptians.

The Moses story is fake.

We dont need to find the pharoah's body in the sea to conclude that the story was a made up one.

All is needed is to establish when and if these events occured, the name of the Pharoah and how long they reigned.

As historians have already determined the approximate length of the reign of each Pharoah that reigned on the Late Bronze Age.

During the relevant period the follpwing pharoahs reigned.

.Amenhotep 1 (1526 - 1506)
.Thutmose 1 (1506 -1493)
.Thutmose 2 (1493-1479)B.C.E
.Hatshepsut (1473-1458)
.Thutmose 3 (1479-1425)
.Amenhotep 2 (1427-1401)
.Thutmose 4 (1401-1391)
Amenhotep 3 (1391-1353)
.Akhenaten (1353-1336)
.Smenkhare (1335-1334)
.Nefernfetuaten (1334-1332)
.Tutankhamun (1332-1323)
.Ay (1323-1319)
.Horemheb (somewhere between 1319-1292 BCE)
.Ramesses 1 (1292-1290)
.Seti 1 (1290-1279)
.Ramesses 2 (1279-1213)
.Mernepath (1213-1203)

According to Abrahamic text, the Exodus supposedly occurred 480 years beforr the fouth year of King Solomon's reign, which, based on biblical chronology, would meant that the Exodus took place approximately 1440 BCE.

However, that date is entirely impossible because the Amarna tablets tell us conclusively that Canaanite (present day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine/ Israel) kings still ruled their cities later than 1350 BCE, under total African domination.

Not only were they never defeated by a ficticious Israelites, anyone fleeing from Ancient Egypt would be fleeing to an area controlled by the Ancient Egyptian army and their allies.

The reference to the city of pi-Ramses, named after Ramesses 2, means that any date before 1250 BCE is not possible.

On that evidence, Ramesses 2 is the only pharaoh who could fit the biblical narrative.

Yet, we know that Ramesses 2 died as a very old man and was mummified, and so could not have been the pharaoh who pursued the so-called Israelites and was drowned in the sea.

Why then can we readily rule out all this story as fakery when the Bible is so clear that the pharaoh and his army pursued the Israelites, to his death.

We ought to look at the archaelogical record to see whether these events really happened, and then the first thing we find is that there is no direct or indirect reference in the Ancient Egyptian records to the Israelites or to Moses.

The distinguished Israeli archeaologist Professor Israel Finkelstein says that over 90% of scholars believe that there was no Exodus from Ancient Egypt as described by the Bible.

Amujale:
...The Irony of that particular storyline is that Pharaoh Ramesses the second is considered to be one of Ancient Egypt's greatest Monarch.

The Battle of Kadesh clearly states that Pharaoh Ramesses beat down and forced a hostile army into the sea.

And that story seems to have been bastardised to the greatest extent.

Many of the hostile armies are depicted to have been killed or drowned by the forces of the warrior-king Pharaoh as depicted in the 20th century re-copy.


Ramesses II in his chariot at the Battle of Kadesh (battle between the Egyptians and the Hittites of Muwatalli II, took place in 1274 BCE). Image is dated 1285 BCE

The main reason most of our ancient artefacts are in the hands of the Westerners is due to the fact that once these are dated properly and accurately, then, all these biblical stories will be blown out of the water.

Yet, even without them being accurately dated, archeology has already proven to everyone that Yoruba predates, Ancient Egypt, Sumeria and anywhere else outside of Africa but the manufactured religions are spending a fortune to try and supress these truth.

TAO11:
The problem remains that Adam and Eve can not possibly (according to the Judeo-Christian accounts) be the earliest of human creations because the Bible numbers obviously situate them at c. 3,798 BCE; while hard indisputablee archaeological evidence situates human activities in Yoruba land to at least c. 7,000 BCE.

Totally agree with you.

Historians have been able to trace the Adam and Eve story to an adaptation of the Sumerian (Sumer is in modern day Iraq) tale of Ninti and Enki.

To make a long story short, Enki out of curiosity eats 8 plants in the paradise of Dilmun (cf. Eve eating the forbidden fruit), Ninhursag considers that a mortal sin, so she causes 8 of Enki's body parts (including his rib) to suffer, and he is on the brink of death. Enlil takes up Enki's cause and persuades Ninhursag to relent, and so various deities then come to heal each of Enki's body parts. The one who heals his rib is the goddess Ninti, whose name means both "lady of the rib," and "lady who makes live," which serves as a pun.

The Roman authors of the Bible wrote as though they were living thousands of years in the past, yet they were living in the first century.

They, the Romans copied and plagerised from various older religious concepts from all around the globe, and
"euhemerized" their characters (stories were created that placed their characters interacting with historical figures i.e Ceasar, King herod, Egyptian Pharaohs e.t.c) so as to seem genuine to the reader.

But they never counted on the sound minds amongst us e.g Rossikk, TAO11, seunmsg, myself and others to catch them out for their fakery and deception.

There is so much to learn about ourselves and surroundings yet we are being taught NOT to think; their is no philosophy that can compete with the yearn to progress in life.

We dont need to be saved by anyone or anything because God has already given that to us countless times and i dont see that stopping anytime soon.

We dont need to repent because We are NOT a guilty people.

We are NOT waiting for a white or tanned man to come an eliviate US from suffering because thats just NONSENSICAL if a white or tanned man was going to descend from the skies to eliviate anyone, the first people on the list would be those that look like HIM.

We dont need to face anywhere during petition but our immediate solvable problems.

We dont need salvation because we are saved the day we are allowed into the world.

All the ethics and moral guidelines we need to navigate the planet Earth is already present in our own understandings.

Our ancestors, heroes and saviours deserve nothing more than the best reception.

What is the point in living for somebody elses objectives.

There is so much work to be done, and yet little effort awarded to a cause.

Let us invoke the spirit of our local heroes, in everything that we partake.

There's the need to operate as if our world has been stolen and our AIM is always to re-take it.

When God created the first humans, it created the first Africans.

Humanity began in Africa and then our ancestors went on to populate the rest of the world.

Africans are the first people in human history that are capable enough to perceive the concept of God.

Africans are the first people to explore and populate all the other 'continents.

Africans invented paper and they invented the ink pen.

Africans discovered the concepts of literacy.

Africans discovered the concepts of numeracy.

Civilization began in Africa and then it proceeded to trickle out to the rest of the world.

Emusan:
Lastly, even your organization knows that Jehovah was formed by a Roman Catholic mock Ray who is never a translator of any version of the Bible.

Maybe it has something with the fact that first century Roman aristocrats are the original authors of the Christian Bible.

And then the Jews copied the contents of the Christian Bible to create their own versions of the text.

Judaism is a manufactured religion.

Truth and manufactured religions are complete opposites.

Everything about Abrahamic religions is fake.

Jews did not invent the concept of God, Africans does.

Judaism is a manufactured religon.

Therefore, it matters not what Jews think about such subject.

They built their manufactured religions based on hate, lies, discrimination and unbelievable violence.

The biblical Jews are fake, the real Jews are the ones that are the European descendants that practise Judaism.

And everyone knows of the great and evil part they played during the Tran Atlantic slave trade and Colonisation, plus, everyone can also see the great cruelty being inflicted on the present day people of Palestine.

Judaism does not have any real history further than the 14th century, therefore in my opinion neither does Jews.

The ancient or biblical history they try to claim is a false representation, because according to real history, it was the ancient people of Palestine that reside in that region that Abrahamic text makes reference to.

That is to say, there was never a group of people known in ancient history as the Isrealites, the authors of the bible simply made that up.

There is nothing Godly about that.

There was said to be an uncountable amount of Isis temples scattered accross mainland Europe.

There is such Isis religious temples present in modern day city called Rome in Italy.

Let them return what they stole from us first. If we decide to steal the artifacts and sell back to them, that’s understandable. It would be that we sold what belong to us. As it stands now, we never gave them those artifacts and we sold it to them. They should return what they stole.

I agree, not only are these artefacts of philosophical interest, they are of historical interest as well.

Most of these artefacts tell their own unique stories that can only be really interpreted by local scholars.

They have zero use inside any of the many museum or scientific reliefs that are out there.

The Brazilian government are claiming back most of their artefacts, our government should follow suit.

I'm becoming more confident that yoruba Obas have their ancestry from Benin kingdom. They may be probably renegades from Benin Royal family. I wish a DNA study can be done on it.

'

Benin have much of their ancestry from Yoruba. During the time Op depicts is when Benin is a major power. During those times, Benin was arguably one of the more influential powers in West Africa.

All the recent studies suggest that Yoruba is a major influence on the Benin Empire.
