Maynmann:
Parables are used in poems, bud.

correctguy101:
Ah..

Budaatum. What do you think the something else is?

Maynmann:
In Yoruba, the term for a parable is "oriki." Yoruba oriki are praise poems that are often structured as parables or metaphorical narratives. They are used to honor individuals, express cultural identity, and convey moral lessons.

Treadway:
i think that is best done in a related topic, so you are not banned by the spam bot or something...I have placed the link in about two 'related' topics in the course of today.

WorldRichest:

Gossiphub:
How it started vs how it's going

N3TRAL:
Sowore is a socialist.


I hate socialism. I hate anything Sowore.

sukkot:
is OB ok ? he looks like he has a huge tumor around his left lung which has made him asymmetrical

RingRoadMafia:
Or... you could copy the link and post it on a front page topic. Voila! 😊

veraponpo:
Thank you.

TheSourcerer:
if this was possible I'll definitely support fully but I do not know the inner working on Nl so we need one

TheSourcerer:
This should make it to FP
As ironic as it sounds it needs more coverage

RingRoadMafia:
My dear, Nigerians are too smart for their own good. The average Nigerian is rigged to see every veiled proposal as a scam, that's why they easily assume that the audacious ones are not. Let me explain:

This same Adaojo Victor has once advertised OPENLY on one of his threads that hit FP that he has FRSC job slots to fill and that interested persons should hit him up but they should also be ready to "settle" him inorder to get the so-called job. He wrote this openly on nairaland front page. A public forums front page.

Now, imagine he made that offer vague and then told you PRIVATELY that you will have to grease his palms (which is what an actual sleazy government official trying to sell government job slots to total strangers will likely do). Your inbuilt Nigerian scam radar will start to beep. You'd rather go with the guy who was audacious because you'll naturally believe that he wont have the audacity to put that out in the open if it wasn't genuine.

That's how he gets away with it.

Although I can tell you for free that his audacity is not on purpose. Its actually a big blunder on his part because he's carried away by the delusion of grandeur which the Nairaland mods made him develop by pushing his Buhari pictures threads to FP. He genuinely thinks he's someone special here. He has severally bragged on his Facebook page about how all his threads on NL make FP. He's a genuine idiot.

But he's not to blame, the blame should rest solely on nairaland mods. They gave him legitimacy.

triplechoice:
And he has been hounding me . Is that what he is supposed to be doing at that level ?

kkins25:
Goodness gracious, buda the 33rd degree freemason.. I wonder, what coven are thou from?

Freemasons were bricklayers, stone carvers, and construction workers of the ancient days you know? @Triplechoice.

triplechoice:
I know you won't fall for such a thing .

It's just for others see what I warned about him earlier .

A001:
Lols, I've been on this forum since 2008 oga. No need for unnecessary warnings. Just face him/her and leave me out of it. I usually avoid engaging people like that on Nairaland.

A001:
I'll simply bin your mention because you're arguing ignorantly. Only a person with low intelligence argues against facts.

A001:
Actually millions do, as Africa is regarded by many as the most backward continent in the world. It's the least developed continent in the world because it has stupid people in high numbers, more than any other continent.

These are facts backed by data. Data doesn't care about your emotions.

A001:
You'll never find a real Muslim that recites Qur'an in his mother tongue (except Arabs) when observing Sallah. It was stated in the Quran itself that the book is only in Arabic (the verses are in Qur'an itself).

A001:
The translated texts aren't Qur'an, but just translations. Intelligent people know that nuanced meanings get lost in translation.

A001:
The funny thing novices like you don't know is that the way a Christian or an atheist/agnostic would translate Qur'an will be starkly different from the way Muslims would.

A001:
But stupid and mischievous Yorubas that translated Qur'an tried to hide all the elements of paganism from Qur'an or Sunnah (Muhammad's recorded traditions and deeds), yet those of that understand Arabic and read widely can easily spot all these paganistic elements in the text.

A001:
I consider posts praising Qur'an and/or the Bible as silly and such a poster as a stupid African.

A001:
FYI, Qur'an only exists in Arabic language.

Any translation of the book isn't the Qur'an itself!

A001:
Since the two books you attached as pictures in that post are among the sources of your words, then you must understand why enlightened people would always have issues with your posts. You can't be posting biblical or quranic verses all about that look like tales meant for kids and expect intelligent people to take you seriously.

Those two books are meant for dull people as they make the brain dull. There are thousand and one books about philosophy and science that intelligent people quote in intellectual discussion before even thinking of quoting silly books like the Bible and Qur'an, which are harmful religious texts for Africans.

The Bible and Qur'an are tools of European/Arab colonization, domination, and subjugation. Of course, you can start turning your amala as usual, trying to manipulate yourself and other gullible people.

Knowing your history here, I don't expect you to understand these simple and glaring issues I stated.

budaatum:
As a prequel? Whao! Where does one begin!

From reading the Bible I suppose. Proper reading, I mean, starting at Genesis and page by page to the end of Revelations, because it is readily available and easy to learn to read. Then the Qur'an. To see what else is out there. They could be read the other way round depending on availability, but both are essential to cure oneself of belief and for learning to think and reason and research for oneself.

Then Plato, just so one understands what the heck Aristotle is talking about because he'd be next.

From there, you let yourself be led I suppose, through you investigating what you may have learnt so far.

You will need enthusiasm I do confess. For while I wish I'd read Heidegger when I was much younger, I wouldn't have comprehended what the heck he was saying or talking about. Golly, I struggle even now!
