Olisa, Olisha, Orisa, Orisha.
Whose word is it?
Igbo?
Yoruba?
Or their common ancestor?
Common ancestry dating back thousands of years to KEMET, also known as Ancient Egypt.

The word is derived from HORUS-AT, the ancient Egyptian Son of God.

HORUS-AT was the son of the God OSIRIS, whose wife was ISIS-MERI.

This is where the whole Christian tale was STOLEN from.

Ancient Egypt was a pure BLACK AFRICAN CIVILISATION.

Our history dates all the back to that remote era.

Different strokes for different folks, they Igbos must not necessarily be like u, & them that till today still do sacrifice & rituals all in the name of tradition.

That is why in those core Yoruba states, once you hear skull in the news, u know the region.
Stop talking crap.

This is the same inferiority complex and self hate that has made your culture disappear in the diaspora. Using one bad thing that happens in your religion to condemn the entire religion.

Christian priests have raped children, boys, and sexually abused their congregation all over the world for centuries till today. Some ordain same sex marriages, LGBTQ marriages etc.

Yahoo boys, kidnappers etc go for blessings in christian churches today.

Many christian priests blessed and prayed with Adolf Hitler when he was slaughtering millions of his people in Germany.

None of this has EVER made you condemn or reject christianity. Your real problem is colonial brainwashing.

Yorubas are much much harder to brainwash than you. Even the Yorubas that are christians and muslims do not disrespect their traditional religion or those who practice it.

At the rate you guys are going, you will finally get your wish of becoming anonymous white men in black skin (coconuts) with no originality of anything, and no memory of your existence once you're gone.

Stop talking thrash based on your imagination.

Ebo day is celebrated in the state of Georgia.
It's not about Ebo day. Do they remember their culture and traditions, and traditional religion?

Or do they spit on their traditional religion in their desperation to worship 'white Jesus' like Soludo has been doing, chasing and persecuting traditional priests in Anambra?

There is a BIG difference in racial and cultural pride between Igbos and Yorubas. It is very obvious.

You need to learn from Yorubas to be proud of your culture and traditions, including your traditional religion, and honor it over and above any other culture.

Exactly.

The funny thing is that even though more Igbos were enslaved, there is ZERO trace of their Igbo culture among any of the black diaspora.

It's like the whites flogged it out of them and they abandoned their traditions immediately, and turned to self-haters and white men in black skin.

Trinidad and Tobago is holding a carnival where they are proudly displaying their Nigerian heritage.

They divided their capital city, Port of Spain (below) on a map in accordance with the various parts of Nigeria they came from.

See 'Yoruba Village' map below.

ZERO.

Better realise that Russia has far greater economic and diplomatic interests and trade with Nigeria than Niger Republic.

USE YOUR BRAIN. IT'S NOT THERE FOR DECORATION.

Fighting terrorism is VERY different and requires all manner of military RESTRAINT due to the risk of civilian casualties, since terrorrists don't wear uniform, or come as an army in a war front, and embed themselves in civilian territories.

That is VERY VERY DIFFERENT from conventional warfare, where it is army versus army and air force versus air force, and navy versus navy.

In CONVENTIONAL WARFARE, the Niger Republic, which does not even have a SINGLE fighter jet, is no match whatsoever for Nigeria.

No. Government should not be ''involved in everything''.

But they should be involved in THIS thing. Fund its promotion, worldwide.

Promotion costs millions of dollars. They need to be involved.

To make it bigger and more structured so as to attract huge numbers of tourists every December to Nigeria.

Meanwhile Ghanaians have been expressing anger on social media that their own 'Detty December' is so dry, and that all the foreigners and celebrities are going to Lagos instead of Accra.
Entertainment › FG Must Take 'Detty December' To The Next Level & Make Nigeria A 'Mecca'. by Catapault(op):
The entire world and online world is abuzz with 'Detty December Lagos Nigeria'.

Countless superstars from all over the world are in Lagos as we speak, in addition to MANY THOUSANDS of foreigners, especially Afro-Americans, who have booked up major hotels on the Island, and even the Mainland. Places like Sheraton, Ibis, and the Marriot in Ikeja are all fully booked up. Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Tyla, Ayra Starr, Tems etc have performed or have been rolling on the island. Parties, clubs, and concerts on 24 hr runs!

The whole island is bubbling.

The social media buzz that's been generated by this year's Detty December is SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY.

IT'S OFF THE CHAIN.

Many people from all over the world who missed out this time around, especially black Americans (many of whom were planning to visit Ghana, but have now changed their mind to Nigeria) are vowing that they MUST be present in Nigeria for Detty December 2025.

This is a potential goldmine for Nigeria.

We can capitalize on, and MULTIPLY this publicity, to ENSURE THAT NIGERIA BECOMES A MECCA FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD EVERY CHRISTMAS.

The benefits are just incalculable. It could bring in BILLIONS OF DOLLARS into the Nigerian economy every December.

This is tourist money that will come into the hands of ordinary Nigerians, not politicians!

The FG needs to look SERIOUSLY into the phenomenon of Detty December, and take it to stratospheric levels.

They can make it go BEYOND Lagos, and choose say Port Harcourt and Abuja for focused activities in Detty December.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Arab Egyptian - ''Black Africans Are The REAL Egyptians & Built The Pyramids'' by Catapault(op): 10:49pm On Dec 27, 2024
Here are seven powerful quotes from the ancient world that support the Black African identity of the ancient Egyptians, who civilized the entire world:

1. Herodotus (5th Century BCE)

"It is certain that the natives of the country are black with woolly hair."
— (The Histories, Book 2:104)

Herodotus, often called the "Father of History," described the Egyptians as having physical characteristics similar to those of other African peoples south of the Sahara.

2. Aristotle (4th Century BCE)

"Those who are too black are cowards, like for instance the Egyptians and Ethiopians."
— (Physiognomics, Vol. 6)
Though couched in the racial biases of his time, Aristotle links the Egyptians to Ethiopians, whom the Greeks considered unmistakably African.

3. Diodorus Siculus (1st Century BCE)

"The Ethiopians say that the Egyptians are one of their colonies which was brought into Egypt by Osiris."
— (Library of History, Book 3:3)

Diodorus records the Greek name for all Africans south of Egypt, 'Ethiopia', highlighting their African connection.

4. Strabo (1st Century BCE)

"Egyptians settled with Ethiopians and formed a single nation, sharing the same culture and language."
— (Geography, Book 17)

Strabo emphasizes cultural and linguistic ties between Egyptians and 'Ethiopians', reinforcing their shared African identity.


5. Ammianus Marcellinus (4th Century CE)

"The men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny and desiccated look."
— (Res Gestae, Book 22)

Ammianus, a Roman historian, noted the skin tone and physical traits of the Egyptian population during his time.


6. Lucian of Samosata (2nd Century CE)

"His complexion is dark, and he is not unlike an Egyptian in appearance."
— (Navigations, 2)

Lucian compares a dark-skinned person directly to an Egyptian, reinforcing their African features.


7. Aeschylus (5th Century BCE)

"The Egyptians are the progeny of the river Nile and share the complexion of their Ethiopian cousins."
— (Suppliants, Line 318)

Aeschylus draws a parallel between the Egyptians and Ethiopians, both described as having dark skin.

These ancient testimonies collectively portray ancient Egyptians as a people who shared physical and cultural traits with other Black African populations, aligning with the evidence of their African roots.

arkad139:
They pyramids wasn't built by humans
My question to AI (ChatGPT)

''Were the pyramids of Egypt built by aliens or by Africans?''


AI Response:

.................

The pyramids were built by Africans, specifically ancient Egyptians, who were an African civilization. There is no credible evidence to support the idea that aliens constructed the pyramids. Here's why the evidence strongly points to humans, particularly Africans, as their creators:

1. Historical and Archaeological Evidence

- Hieroglyphic Records: Ancient Egyptian texts, such as those in tombs and temple walls, describe the construction of pyramids, including the workforce and techniques used.

- Workers' Villages: Excavations near the pyramids at Giza have revealed workers' villages, complete with tools, bread ovens, and even the remains of workers themselves, proving human effort was involved.

- Local Materials: The limestone and granite used for pyramid construction were sourced locally, and the techniques for quarrying and transporting these materials are well-documented.


2. Engineering Techniques

- Advanced Knowledge of Mathematics and Engineering: Ancient Egyptians had a sophisticated understanding of geometry and architecture. The Great Pyramid of Giza’s alignment with the cardinal points and its precise dimensions demonstrate this expertise.

- Use of Ramps and Leverage: Evidence suggests they used ramps and sledges to transport and position massive stones.


3. Cultural Significance

- The pyramids were deeply tied to Egyptian religious beliefs. They were built as tombs for pharaohs and designed to help their souls ascend to the afterlife. The designs are rooted in African cosmology and traditions.


4. The Alien Myth

- The "alien" theory is often rooted in Eurocentric skepticism about African ingenuity, reflecting a bias that denies non-European civilizations credit for monumental achievements.

- This idea has no basis in archaeology or history and has been debunked repeatedly by scholars.


Conclusion

The pyramids are a testament to the ingenuity, organization, and cultural sophistication of ancient Africans. The myth that aliens built them undermines the achievements of humanity, particularly those of ancient African civilizations.
