So, you will become terrorists because you don't like immigrants?

That's not new. And we'll deal with you like we dealt with you in the past when you did the same terrorising.

CrimeRe: Islamic Bandits Begin To Fund Tiktok Giveaway With Cash On Livestream (video) by budaatum: 7:42pm On Jun 09
Poverty alone did not push this individual. And I don't believe him nor this report that claimed the money was "confirmed ransom money", which sounds more like a scam!

I just can't decide yet if the person claiming 100million naira was demanded of him is the scammer who thinks we are all ignorant and stupid like he is. But I'm certain many will believe this.

While the man's claims have not been independently verified by security agencies, the story has triggered widespread debate about desperation, online safety, and the dangers of accepting money from unknown sources.
So, you'd be asking me the source of my money that I giveaway? What a joke.

"The man's claims have not been independently verified" sums this up, because I am very certain you'd nicely tell me where to go if I demand my giveaway money back, not to talk of asking for 1000 times of it.

You are pathetic if this is your answer. Little wonder it is easy for them to overrun south west. Your Obas that they kidnap like chicken and his so called gods will run away.
And you are rude.

My Oba is not the only person living in my community, and no one can dictate what gods people worship. If one could I'd command everyone kill their gods and become atheist, since gods are fictions you make up to worship, but I doubt anyone would obey me.

CodeTemplar:
This solidified a dominant Islamic theocracy that defined Northern identity, law, and culture.
Yet, they failed when they arrived amongst us Yorubas.

Funny enough, the past Olufon of the Orolu Kingdom, Oba Al-Maroof Adekunle Magbagbeola (Olumoyero II), was a Muslim and was the weakest Oba in my lifetime, as he wouldn't tarnish his Islam with Isẹse.

The Olufon before him, Oba Sakariyahu Olatoye Ilufemiloye Orisatoyinbo, was an Isẹsẹ and a Christian, and was the most powerful Oba in my lifetime.

The current Olufon, His Royal Majesty Oba Peter Oluwole Ipadeola Ilufemiloye (Akinyooye III), is a Christian but serves as a father figure to all faiths in his community.

A smart king would recognise the religions of their subjects, like King Charles III who refers to himself as the Defender of the Faiths as opposed to the defender of the (Christian) faith, to the extent that some even accuse him of being a Muslim, lol.

We even fought a war to maintain that unity, for reasons best known to us.

PoliticsRe: Islamization Of Nigeria: Hausa And Yorubas Are Taken, Igbos Next (opinion) by budaatum: 3:25pm On Jun 09
I do not know why some of you like talking this Islamisation of Yorubas like you seriously believe we are about to abandon Obatala and Sango and Ogun and Sopona for foreign religions.

Our Obas almost all worship our gods, so I can not see how we can possibly be forced to abandon them. But of course it is you Christians who seem to be threatened by Islam, while we just watch you all and laugh.

What's unique to us Yorubas, and many other tribes in Nigeria, is our multiplicity of gods. And none of them can possibly claim to be the only god we must all worship, despite the clamour of a few loud mouths.

Maybe dump just needs to sign an executive order that stops the federal courts from opposing his executive orders.


A federal court ruled against Donald Trump’s transgender military ban earlier today.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 in Talbott v. USA that the ban on transgender people serving openly in the military is a policy designed to target a group of people based on their gender identity, upholding a March 2025 ruling from out federal Judge Ana Reyes that the policy likely violates the Constitution.
Christianity EtcRe: Religion And Human Civilization by budaatum: 6:32pm On Jun 08
lawani:
Religion and human civilization

God has always been there and will always be there but religion is an innovation, a very new thing which if left to fester can and most probably will bring down our civilization.
Gods are innovations that never existed until human beings created them and used religion to propagate ideas of them. It is for this reason that there are so many gods, as each civilization created their own. And it is globalisation that has enabled the religious spread of information about some gods around the world that now seem universal.

If it weren't for globalisation, I'd likely be worshiping Obatala, the ancient local god of my community, and our own recent locally created Owala, which was created when an area was flooded and a huge lake was formed and deified. If I hadn't bothered to pick up books and read to educate myself, that is.

Basically, it's not just NGOs that spread religion and belief. People do too, just as you have done here. But indeed, you are free to. It is the responsibility of those that religions are spread to to ask and knock and seek with their own senses so that they may stop just believing and instead know.

P.S. Do know that religion, as in, the spread of ideas about gods, were what created the first schools. Unfortunately, early education was about telling people what to believe and accept as the truth, and some have not evolved to use their own senses to ask so they may know.

Me too. Unfortunately, as I have been educated, Atiku can not be vice president, so I suggest he be Obi's godfather and work to make Obi president. He should then just retire, unless he wants Obi to make him ambassador to UAE.

When I created a thread sometime last year or earlier this year about the need for a referendum on Nigeria, it was you that kept making the case that Nigeria's problems will be solved through voting.
In that thread I pointed out to you that a referendum is people going out to vote on an issue, and that to get a referendum on any issue, people would have gone out to vote for people who campaigned to offer a vote on a referendum in the first place. But it seems that you don't want to vote for people offering a referendum and just want to impose destructive anarchy on Nigeria because, in your own view, "Nigeria is purely a colonial concept that offers nothing but injustice", and anyone who disagrees with you must have been "deceived into the "One Nigeria" mantra by selfish politicians".

What you fail to realise is that those supposed "selfish politicians", even if your "nothing but injustice" were true which it isn't, are voted for and elected by us Nigerians. And if we want "unselfish politicians", we the Nigerian voters just need to recognise them and elect them or even become unselfish ourselves and run for office and hopefully convince enough unselfish Nigerians to vote for you. But you speak like you have not bothered learning our post-colonial history, and seem to think you will get your unselfish politicians in some other way, like some taking over the reigns of power and imposing themselves on us, as if you were born long after that was how Nigeria used to get its leader who turned out to be uberselfish!

Fortunately not many Nigerians support the selfish anarchical tirades you keep posting on Nairaland. It might indeed be because our brains are washed and not dirty like somes.

@budaatum the Nairalander that likes to apply voting as a solution to all national issues smiley so you show up on my thread once again..... smiley
Odd that I did not notice that it is your thread before I responded. Please know that voting is not the solution to your own specific problem. Education, the sort that teaches the use of the mind and senses, might solve some of your problem though.

Religion is a national problem in Nigeria. It promotes belief instead of sense use, and no amount of voting would directly solve that, though enough people promoting the reform of the Nigerian education system might.

Now, to your supposed "truth" that "many of your people the yorubas do not like the igbos". First, "many" does not mean 'most'. And those "many" are ignorant, just as you are for hating others.

On the way to my Orolu Kingdom after you leave Osogbo, the Igbos are renting roadside buildings and are converting them into white good shops, and now my own Yoruba people don't have to go to Ibadan or Lagos to buy fridge that they can not return if it don't work.

Some "many" people in the area are indeed unhappy that the Igbos are "taking over" as they call it, and are expressing hatred, but those are the lazy phuks who smoke colo all day and can't afford anything white. They hate me their Yoruba family too because I don't feed lazy phuks!

Please know that I have not in anyway forced those industrious Igbo people to unite in my Kingdom and open their shops. They choose to unite in my Kingdom, and my Kingdom welcomes them.

I'll tell you about ChukwuTomato one day, though I suspect I might have already.

We’ve been talking about Micron [MU] because it’s fantastical. Over the past 14 months through the peak on Wednesday, the share price had multiplied by 16 (+1500%) and its market capitalization had exploded from $72 billion to $1.21 trillion! Micron made history when it doubled its market cap from $500 billion to $1 trillion in just 48 trading days. No way in hell?
