I can see handiwork of England France and Spain... Nuke them

London, Paris and Berlin.

He's right. Life has no meaning except what you give it. Someone spending 40 years on a job may be doing so, not necessarily because of anything other than hope...

Didn't say he's wrong

Esu is not Satan, but esu is the chief head of evils. Babalawos always try to avoid esu in other not to get into trouble since he was the one that always destabilize and injure other gods. ESU MA SE MI OMI ELOMIRAN NI KO SE chants of traditionalist, se Ori re pe bayi?

Don't lend opinions on things you know less about or assert a position out of ignorance. A Babalawo that avoids Esu is not a Babalawo. When they say "Èṣù ma se mi, omo elomiran ni ko se" it's generally an appeal to Esu asking him to bless their path with clarity and redirect any harsh lessons or chaos toward those who mean harm towards them.

Esu is an entirely impartial deity. If you perform good deeds, Esu ensures you receive blessings. If you act with greed, malice, or ignore spiritual wisdom, he enforces the natural consequences of those actions.

Go and learn about yourself, your heritage, your very rich culture and traditions. Most importantly go and learn about your ancestor's way of life instead of some Jewish or Arabian's way of life and religion.

He definitely can and probably will. After mid-term elections there are no constraints on Trump whatsoever.
He can tell Iran to go to hell

Yh because USA has unlimited resources to wage wars and Iran will just sit back and take it? Great thinking

No you cannot go back to bombing Iran and you know it

No1, I am not a religionist. Yes I was born into a Christian home and have read the Bible so many times.
But my conscious self doesn't believe in all those bumkum again.
So if you can call me an atheist now, you're not far from the truth.
.
But in the so call Bible which you directed me to that I have also read. Why are you not separating the old testament to the new ones. The new said no more blood sacrifices.
To my own understanding, anything blood sacrifices is evil. And I am still doubting your ifa doesn't do blood sacrifice of a claim.
I will find that out

I myself was born into a deeply religious christian home until I started asking uncomfortable questions and digging dip into history but anyway that's by the by.

Why should you separate Old Testament from the New Testament? If you have to distinguish parts or sections of a supposed "Holy Bible", what does that achieve? If the New Testament is now the "approved" section of the bible that Christians should live by then why did the Old Testament make the cut?

How is blood offering evil? How do you decide what's evil and what's not? What's your frame of reference? Is it the same God that happily accepted blood sacrifices in the Old Testament, the same God that told Christians in the New Testament not to offer blood sacrifices anymore because he already accepted Jesus's blood as sacrifice? Help me make it make sense.

Again, you don't make sacrifices to Ifa. Ifa is like a conduit and depending on your circumstances, Ifa may tell you what deity to appease and how to appease the deity which may or may not include animal sacrifices.

About you being an atheist, I suppose that's fair, you don't have to belong to any religion. Everyone should be allowed to practice whatever religion they deem fit but I hold a strong opinion that Christianity and Islam doesn't belong to us.

My distinct will guide me on what to do, whatever my distinct tells me is what I will do. My distinct has never failed me.

Very distinct.

Kalulu44:
But they sacrifice blood to ifa and esu

Ifa is a spiritual and philosophical system, you don't sacrifice to Ifa. Do you offer sacrifices to Esu? Absolutely. So, since we're on whataboutism - are there no rituals and sacrifices in the bible involving blood? (Assuming you're christian) You may want to read Leviticus, Exodus, and Deuteronomy especially. Even christians believe Jesus was a human sacrifice to God. (There's nothing like human sacrifice in Ifa system by the way).

Even in Judaism which is the religion that Jesus practised, they offer blood sacrifices to God for a whole lot of things - sin offering, burnt offering, peace offering, guilt offering and other rituals.


Know the religion you practice, read your bible too in depth. Not just the chapters that preaches prosperity, "heaven", and placing curses on "village people".

damoobaba:
Wait, I no understand. Your holy spirit no agree with Pastor?

"Holy Spirit" is not a christianity thing. Holy Spirit is your intuition

I'd trust my Holy Spirit and would most likely get off the bus with the "traditional doctor". A pastor herds a flock of sheep, A real ifa oracle sees with the third eye and guide you to navigate life accordingly. This is who we were before the colonisers brought their religion and told our ancestors that our spirituality is evil.

Ifa is not evil. Esu is not satan.

Trump is forced to negotiate with more hard liners in Iran because he killed off the moderates. Not achieved the objective of restricting Iran’s missile or nuclear capabilities, or regime change.

All that is seen in Trump’s decision to postpone his return to US and stay on the other side of the Atlantic than to be present for the signing ceremony on Friday. This is a guy who loves the limelight - he went to the Middle East last year for one single day to be front and centre of the signing ceremony marking the end of the 12 day war between Israel and Iran.

Why wouldn’t he want to bask in the glory of this diplomatic triumph? Unless there’s no such thing as “diplomatic triumph” because the only thing US has achieved was reopening of the Strait of Hormuz which wasn’t shut until Trump decided to wage a war against Iran. A huge blunder and strategic failure for Trump’s USA.

PapaNnamdi:
On the job,
1. You don't have to be intelligent to get the good jobs or promotion, just get a good network, or know how to wonderfully kiss a diarrhea ass and you are good
2. Getting a job or working as an employee keeps you in a loop, education was actually designed to domesticate individuals and jobs keep them in a busy loop till they loose purpose and die,
3. Life has no meaning, you are the one that gives it meaning through your relative experience

All the three points are completely true from my viewpoint but the contradiction in the second and third points - if life truly has no meaning whatsoever, then I think the idea of losing one’s purpose becomes difficult to justify. Why would it matter if someone spends 40 years working a job if there is no meaning to begin with?

I just want to remind the world that an African man is the richest man in the world.


Mansa Musa of Mali once did it

Elon is an African man now?

Trump and Netanyahu were operating in tandem just a few months ago, how time has changed. Netanyahu wasn’t even given a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between USA and Iran, in which Israel has huge vested interest. Israel doesn’t want to pull out of Lebanon but the deal signed between Iran and Israel hinged on Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon. Any attack by Israel on Lebanon will mean continuation of the war which USA can't afford.

Deal signed between USA and Iran is not welcomed by the political establishment in Israel because they believe that their war against Iran completely failed to achieve any of the original objective they aimed for at the start, but there’s nothing they can do. Israel don’t want to pull out of Lebanon but they also can’t fight a war without USA’s support.

Relationship fracturing between Washington and Tel Aviv. Netanyahu is desperate for friends at the moment, the only friend it has currently is Somaliland - only because Israel is the only country that recognises Somaliland as a country. Netanyahu is currently in a horrible political position.

QuinQQ:
Exactly right my boy. US economy is thriving, inflation is under 4%, and they have now become the world's largest exporter of oil, entirely due to the war.
Iran on the other hand, their economy is totally destroyed and in deep depression. Inflation is over 200%. Their Navy, Airforce, and air defence are gone. On top of all that, over 7000 people are dead in Iran and Lebanon, including their topmost leaders!

Even greater insight. Well done!

QuinQQ:
The difference is that Irsn's wing has been clipped (last thing on their mind is nuclear wespons), Ayatollah and all those who tortured civilians are dead, and US controls WHAT Iran spends money on.

Iran's wing has been clipped? Ah right Ok, great insight, nice one 👍

How exactly is this a better deal than the JCPOA that didn't require Obama to wage a war?

As part of a President Trump-brokered peace deal? You waged a war and brokered peace deal? Someone please get me off this train

Ah Ok we're still on this "Christian genocide" soundbite

Where are the drones for dog's sake?! Are they hunting for hares and antelopes or conducting search and rescue operations?

When I say that the West and their Neo-colonial instruments like IMF are not Africa's friends, African "Americans" somewhere in Surulere will tell you to shut up. They know you can't do without telecommunication and fuel, and that's where they're asking their puppet president in Nigeria to impose tax. You all will soon wake up se.

padi padi clanmate politics.

Trump is just a disgusting and cowardly clown

Invade this country with ground forces once and for all

Remove the regime and do whatever you like

Invade Iran with ground forces? What are you smoking? crack cocaine?

Iran is negotiating from a position of power. They are essentially in the driving seat of this negotiation. Araghchi has said that the Strait of Hormuz is the sovereignty of Iran and Oman which can never be challenged and management of the Strait will never return to pre-war era.

So, if:

1. Iran is demanding $300bn (£225bn) from the US to end the war before they can open up the Strait of Hormuz that was never shut before the war.

2. Tehran continues to control strategic waterway (in collabo with Oman) generating almost $80billion a year which they weren't earning before the war.

3. Tehran continues its nuclear enrichment (as they rightly should).

Where is the win for bloodsucking warmongering America?

Ladies and gentlemen, the 4th world power in this new global order - Iran 📢

You don't know a systemic problem but want to be president?

But why would you kill a python?

. Do not blasphemy, Christian religion never preach violence or hatred, neither does it force anyone to convert to it or has any strict and severe punishment for anyone except the hell fire that both the Bible and Quran refers to has greater punishment for mankind that deserve it. But logically, Islam are in to 2 major main groups, one is Sunni which is moderate. And one is Shitte which are fanatic and originated from accent parsia which is Iran 🇮🇷 today. Although Islamic religion was brought to the world through violence and sword by converting people's by force and sword and blood things to conquered many empires and spread the religion during the time of mohammed himself. But some later refined and chose to be moderate when seeing the Christianity side and modes. But some adamant ever since then. And those are shitte today that carry the same sword for head like their hair which iran is their headquarters. But many other Muslims are moderate and calm in nature.

Christianity never preached violence? Do you read your bible at all? Do you read the 1st Testament? Both Islam and Christianity have references of violence in their "holy book" ordained by "God". Both are foreign religions that should not have a place in Nigeria.
