Third and final semester? Thought it's either 2 semesters (FT) or four semesters (PT).
My program is PT with three semesters. Not all PT are 4 semesters especially those whose PT is every evening on weekdays

Why are you people so elated about the Unilag admission though? I dont think I've seen anybody with good testimony about Unilag PG. Everybody always complain of delayed project approval elongating the time frame of a masters of 2years to 3-4 years. Nobody got such time to waste. I was given admission but honestly I dont think I want to start what I can't finish in 1 year. I dont have more than 1 year for PG runnings. I am scared same thing Unilag is known for might repeat itself, coupled with ASUU strike..The uncertainties are just too numerous
ASUU strike affects all schools other than Unilorin and OAU that pulled out of ASUU.

I've seen people go through the program seemlessly. Project has to do with who your supervisor is and the kind of topic you decide to research on. I didn't study for my first degree in Unilag but I can tell you this second degree in Unilag is not as stressful as where am coming from. You even get to choose who Ur supervisor will be. (You would definitely have consulted those who have gone tru the process to know which of the lecturers give less issues when it comes to project.)

I already knew the modus operandi of my supervisor and nothing changed. Just be street smart, you will pull tru

My argument with you from the start is that Jesus is not the same as Olorun.

I have been consistent with my argument with you. You are the one that’s turninoninown.

I’m asking you again, how is Yorubas Olorun = Jesus.

I have screenshot the genesis of the argument for you. I’m sure you can read very well.

Yoruba uses Jesus as Olorun grin.

No need to be arguing with you anymore then.
But Ọlọ́run is also an orisha, just the Biggest Orisha Ever Liveth ( BOEL). grin

Am sure you wouldn't argue that àbí?

what about the common john 3:16
I knew someone would come up with this. But this is one of the inconsistencies some people complained about in the Bible. John 3:16 says God gave his only begotten son to die for the world, but the passages I posted showed Isiah and Paul calling Jesus God. And someone says God was never referred to as God

I see we are not talking about the same thing. I’m not arguing about the divinity of Jesus with you.

The basis of this discussion is how Jesus = Yoruba Olorun.
I followed up all the talk from onset. You asked him how Jesus was Ọlọ́run and I told u how Yorubas use them interchangeably.

I myself have been to several churches and I've seen people call Jesus Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Olódùmarè and all; not as an intercessor but as the all knowing one. I knew you wouldn't agree with this and went two steps ahead to even show u Bible passages of prophets in the Bible doing same.

Now you say we aren't talking same thing grin

Okay, tell me any prayer that Christian pray in Yoruba that use Olorun as Jesus.
You aren't asking the right questions bro. Why aren't you asking why Jesus was being referred to as God in those passages I quoted?

I don't ẹ gege in arguments like this based on sentiments or trying to turn amala. Different people pray in different names. Some pray in their pastor's name, others in olugbohun, some in Ọlọ́run àṣẹ. Anybody can decide to pray in what we've name.they wish with this present day Christianity.

One thing I can assure you is Isiah and Paul referred to Jesus as God in those passages and it wasn't called blasphemy neither was it taken out of the Bible. Except u want to claim you know Jesus more than they do

Are you saying the Bible God was hanged on the cavalry killed like a mere mortalhuh
Am not saying anything. I quoted a verifiable passage. You can draw whatever inference you wish to from that passage.

He claimed Jesus was not referred to as God but I proved that to be wrong by posting those passages from the same Bible.What he chooses to do with that is left to him na

Ọlọ́run is God. But Jesus is also God yes or no? I've sent Bible passages that prove this to be true ; so your yes or no might not really matter

Whether in Lagos or in the hinterland, OLORUN is OLORUN. Olorun has never been spelt as OLOHUN.

Now to your other post. Yorubas do not worship Olorun directly, in fact there’s no shrine or place of worship to go and worship Olorun. There are place of worship for Orunmila, Obatala, Sango, Ogun even Esu but there’s no place of worship for Olorun. It is Olorun that grants Orunmila, Obatala, Sango, Ogun and the likes their power.

Bible says Jesus is our Lord. Lord means Oluwa and NOT Olorun.
So where do you think Ọlọhun originated from? Benin republic? It's just a corrupt form of Ọlọ́run. Most people who grew up in Lagos use it. There are a lot of Yoruba words like that Yorubas in Lagos use that ate not really the original form of Yoruba. There are numerous examples. If you want I will give you.

Nobody said there's a shrine for Ọlọ́run. I already told you most people worship smaller deities which u repeated in your post. Ọlọrun is highly revered and called orisha ńla. He's always begged to tamper justice with mercy ; Hence you hear people make comments like orisha òkè là bẹ kò fún wa lomo ( We beseech the God of the sky to give us offspring)

As for you saying the Bible didn't refer to Jesus as God, you obviously haven't read your Bible as much as you claim. I will give you few passages to show you gaffe in that regard

1. "After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, 'Peace be with you.' Then He said to Thomas, 'Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.' Thomas answered and said to Him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed,'” (John 20:26-29).

2. "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God , Eternal Father, Prince of Peace," (Isaiah 9:6).

I don’t need to go grab any book because I’m a full blooded Yoruba. It’s obvious you are not Yoruba.

When I say you spew a lot of rubbish with so much confidence you actually think I’m abusing you. Your ignorance is legendary.

Olorun is what Yorubas call God even before religion came to these side. Olorun and Jesus does not have the same trait.

Yorubas call Jesus OLUWA. OLUWA is different from OLORUN. When you say Jesus is Lord it translates loosely to Jesu Ni Oluwa. OLUWA means Lord.

Olorun/Olodumare/Eledumare - Yoruba
Yahweh/Jehovah - Hebrew
Allah - Arabic
God - English

So I ask you again, is Olorun Jesus?
Olúwa is lord quite alright. But Jesus is also called God by those who believe in trinity ( majority of pentecostal Yorubas fall into this category) i.e God the son.

I have no intention of stopping you from posting on this issue, in fact that’s what I want so you can keep showcasing your ignorance to everyone while I just keep puncturing your lies.

So let’s start all over sir. grin

Is it true that Olorun is the same as Jesus? wink
First and foremost, Yorubas(mostly Lagos born and breds) refer to God as Ọlọhun. Those from the hinterlands say Ọlọ́run. Pentecostal Yorubas when talking about trinity say :" Ọlọ́run bàbà, Ọlọ́run ọmọ àti Ọlọ́run ẹ̀mí mímọ́.(Meaning God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit).Ọlọ́run ọmọ which is God the son is inseparable from the trinity as they are referred to as mẹta lọ́kàn (Trinity)

So if the Guy says Ọlọhun / Ọlọ́run is Jesus I don't think he's wrong, except you just want to troll him because you don't agree with his atheist point of view.

And yes Ọlọ́run according to the Yorubas is orisha ńlá, the biggest ong the gods. He lives in the sky and rules over the affairs of the world. It is believed he is so big you have to tru other deities which explains why Orunmila is consulted to know his mind and what he holds in the future for individuals. Most people who have smaller deities they worship in the Yorubaland of old prior to the missionaries and Arabs coming still look up to Ọlọ́run / Ọlọhun for better days ahead.

Lemme advise you guys not get discouraged especially if Ur profile says not recommended.

Last year I got my admission scoring around 68.75 or so, a friend who wanted to do MBA scored 47%.
He was not recommended for the MBA and his name was eventually not included in the list.

I had resumed my own program and my friend had focused on something else. Later my friend got a text that he had been offered provisional admission ( bearing in mind about 400 names was on the initial list ó)

He had to go to school to confirm on Monday and he discovered a new list was recently released. Today he is in year 2 of his MBA program PT.

Even my own program, some of our coursemates were coming for lectures despite their names not being in the list. Later a new list was released and their names came out.

I think I will advise those that didn't score up to the cut-off to keep in touch with their departments and check as time goes by if another list is released.

Its one thing to support Hazard but it's totally unacceptable to blame everyone else for his inconsistency.
Especially when hazard has been honest with himself telling the whole world how he likes to have the ball which seem to leave most of the coaches he's worked with frustrated and all.

I no just understand. Hazard is a good player no doubt, he obviously believes in showmanship like okocha and he doesn't hide it. What they are trying to defend here I may not really know

Don't think someone dribbling on the sideline is ever that important to Chelsea.

Someone that will be hogging the ball and using our possession time for unproductive actions

There are many ways to win a football match, Hazard way is one of the most predictable and easiest to stop.

3 out of 7 seasons, we would have failed to qualify for UCL since Hazard came. That never happened before Hazard.

He should fück off, the unproductive, visionless, urgency lacking, lazy shakushaku dancer.
I think this is what Dayo has been saying for a while now. Maybe because it's coming from him sha people won't listen.

Hazard is a good player but watching him at times even as a non Chelsea fan irritates me.He holds the ball needlessly and end up passing when his teammates are already out of position.Sadly he's too old to change his playing style
