We Are All Entitled To Our Own Opinions Bro. You Can Also Impact Lives, So After You're Gone.. People Can Be Inspired By Your Way Of Life, Start a movement, Religion About You (Definitely, People Will Want To Write About You Too).

One Thing We All Need To Know Is, There's a Difference Between Who Was There When It Happened. Who Heard About It When It Happened, And Who Was Told/Heard Stories And Was Inspired To Write It.

Another Thing Is This. The Resurrection Story Was Written By 4 Different People, At Different Time, Age (We Learnt They Were Inspired By The Holy Spirit.) Now, Let's Be Constructive And Ractional Here.

1. The Writers Were Inspired, They Were Not Present When It Happened.

2. When Any Human Have An Idea About Something, Our Levels Or Interpretations Are Not The Same, Our Reasoning Aren't Of Same Pace, But All That Matters Is The End Result.

3. Geography As a Subject Has Over 3 Definition Composed, Discovered By Various Geographers Age, Centuries Apart. Yet, Their Various Definition Mean Same Thing.

Seun:
The best evidence that Christianity is not true is the account of the resurrection of Jesus in the gospels. The accounts in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are contradictory on basic facts. There is no way to construct a coherent account of the resurrection of Jesus that does't contradict one or more of the biblical accounts. See the contradictions below:

Who went to the tomb?
John: Mary Magdalene alone.
Matthew: Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary."
Mark: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome.
Luke: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and "other women."

Who was at the tomb when they arrived?
Matthew: One angel sitting on the stone outside.
Mark: One young man sitting inside on the right.
Luke: Two men in dazzling clothes standing inside.
John: Two angels sitting inside (but seen later, after Peter and John visit).

What did the women do afterward?
Mark: They fled and said nothing to anyone because they were afraid.
Matthew & Luke: They ran with joy to tell the disciples.

Where did Jesus first appear to the disciples?
Matthew & Mark: The disciples are told to go to Galilee, where they will see him.
Luke & John: Jesus appears to them immediately in Jerusalem.

If the supposed eye-witnesses of the most important event in Christianity couldn't agree on basic facts, their religion can't be true. Right?

So Mr Seun .. Based On This Context And Before You Can Conclude, You Need To Write Your Own Account Of Christ Reassurance. Sleep, Wake Up, Write About It, Submit Your Thesis To CAN. CAN Will Forward To The International Bible Society, If Beyond Your Fact, It Happens Your Own Narration Is True And Acceptable. Then We Now Have

Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Seun.

1. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

He wasn't against celebrating Jesus so called Said birthday. He is only against how people turned it into idol Worship and the story surrounding the set of people who started the term Christmas.. The only thing Christ said we do in remembrance of him is the LORD'S SUPPER.

2. HE doesn't celebrate his birthday, the church doesn't celebrate it, it's people who understand his worth come around, do designs, celebrating, his teachings and legacy.

A woman in a relationship or marriage holds the power to nurture love, stability, and progress in her life. Respecting, appreciating, and staying committed to her current relationship is not just about loyalty to her partner but also about protecting her dignity, emotional well-being, and future.

True happiness in a relationship comes from mutual respect, trust, and shared values, not from entertaining distractions from the past or seeking fleeting pleasures outside her commitment.

One of the biggest mistakes a woman can make is keeping communication with past lovers or engaging in unnecessary interactions with other men. It may seem harmless at first—casual chats, calls, or even seeking financial favors—but over time, these interactions create emotional entanglements that can destroy her relationship.

A man from the past rarely has good intentions; more often than not, he only seeks to exploit her emotionally and physically. Instead of adding value to her life, such men drain her of her peace, self-respect, and stability.

Why Staying Committed Matters

Commitment in a relationship builds security, emotional balance, and a solid foundation for the future. A woman who dedicates herself to her relationship experiences deeper love, a sense of belonging, and long-term fulfillment. When a woman is truly invested in her relationship, she nurtures her home, gains the respect of her partner, and fosters an environment of love and trust.

In contrast, engaging in extra relationships, even just through secret chats or favors, gradually destroys the bond between her and her partner, leading to regret and broken trust.

The Dangers of Extra-Marital Affairs

Extra-marital affairs, whether physical or emotional, bring nothing but pain and destruction. Many women who engage in affairs with exes or other men end up suffering emotional distress, heartbreak, and, in extreme cases, exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

These men often do not care about her well-being; their only interest is temporary pleasure, leaving the woman to deal with the consequences. Affairs also cause retrogression—distracting a woman from her goals, affecting her mental peace, and sometimes even leading to financial instability.

A wise woman values her dignity and peace over momentary pleasure. She understands that true love and fulfillment come from building and maintaining a strong relationship with her partner. Respecting her commitment brings long-term joy, while straying only leads to regret.

Madeu:
I came in from Europe, and i love road trip. The roads were bumping, lots of stop over due to checks from bribe seeking officer. It was worse in Ghana. The environment wasn't stimulating full of disorganize driving and poor building planning . In road trip in Europe, one can see beautiful lush green garden, plains, hills, valley and waterfall.

Definitely, you cannot compare road trips in Europe to those in Africa . But you shouldn't say Ghana is disorganised, what you going to say about Naija then

Madeu:
Keeping this post alive

I embarked on a road trip to Accra Ghana. Used one of those popular transport companies. Cost between 81000-85000 one-way (depending on the time of booking).
Passport is held by the bus company until you get to your destination and a yellow card wasn't asked for ( maybe due to the scarcity of the card).
I didn't enjoy the road trip. It is something that I won't try anymore.

I guess the yellow card is scarce then, cause they prefer to ask for it than some valid means of identity sef.

Why didn't you enjoy the road trip, was that your first time?..

Maybe you weren't used to traveling by road. Road trips are my best bet

Originalsly:
Interesting. Following. Don't they demonstrate the talking drums? ... is the art passed down? ...Badagry people jump in.

Talking Drum Is a Core Yoruba Thing . I'm Not Sure It's so pronounced among the people of Badagry

Understanding the Role of the Palace in Modern Times

One of the younger chiefs then spoke about the present-day relevance of the monarchy.

“The king may not rule in the political sense like in ancient times, but he remains the spiritual and cultural leader of this land,” he explained. “He presides over traditional ceremonies, serves as a mediator in community disputes, and ensures that our customs are preserved.”

He continued, “We work closely with government institutions to ensure that our heritage is not forgotten. The youth of Badagry are encouraged to learn our history, speak our language, and uphold the values that define us as a people.”

It was inspiring to see how the monarchy had adapted to modern times while still holding on to its traditions.

A Tour of the Palace Grounds

After the insightful discussion, the chiefs invited us to tour the palace grounds. Led by one of the attendants, we walked through the courtyard, admiring the historic structures and artifacts.

SESSION THREE

We saw:

The Royal Drum Section – Traditional talking drums that had been used for centuries to communicate messages across the kingdom.

The Ancestral Shrine – A sacred spot where past kings were honored. Our guide explained that this was an important spiritual aspect of their tradition.

The King's Reception Hall – A large, ornately decorated space where royal meetings were held. Though the king no longer received guests, the hall was still used for important discussions.


A Moment for Reflection

As we stood within the palace grounds, many of us took a moment to reflect. This was more than just a historical visit—it was a spiritual experience.

One of our church leaders spoke softly, “When we look at this palace, we see a testament to endurance. This kingdom has stood through colonization, wars, and modern changes, yet it remains. As Christians, we must learn from this resilience. Our faith must be strong, unshaken by challenges, just as the people of Badagry have held onto their traditions.”

We nodded in agreement, deeply moved by the significance of his words.

A Traditional Blessing from the Chiefs

Before we left, the palace chiefs gathered us in a semi-circle and offered a traditional blessing.

“We pray that your journey through Badagry will be filled with wisdom,” one of them said. “May you take the lessons of our history and use them to build a better future. May your church continue to be a light in the world.”

We responded with a resounding “Amen.” It was a beautiful moment of unity, where tradition and faith intertwined.

Departure from the Palace

As we made our way back to the buses, we felt a deep sense of gratitude. Though we had not met the king himself, we had received a wealth of knowledge from the palace chiefs. We had walked through history, gained insight into governance and tradition, and most importantly, drawn inspiration from the resilience of the Badagry people.

As the bus doors closed and the engines hummed to life, our tour guide announced our next destination: The Seriki Abass Slave House—one of the most emotional parts of our journey.

Little did we know, the stories we were about to hear would leave an everlasting mark on our hearts...

Come see as church people dey dramatise nah

Chapter 2: The King's Palace – A Glimpse into Royalty and Tradition

I GO CUT THIS CHAPTER TWO INTO 3 SESSION SO E GO FIT ACCOMMODATE MORE PICTURES

SESSION ONE

Arrival at the Palace Gates

As our buses pulled up in front of the Akran of Badagry’s Palace, the anticipation among us grew stronger. The palace, an architectural masterpiece standing with an air of regality, was a testament to the deep-rooted traditions of the Badagry people. The entrance was flanked by intricately carved wooden doors, symbolic of the cultural heritage of the town.

We stepped down from the buses, adjusting our clothing in reverence, knowing we were about to walk into one of the most historically significant places in Badagry. The palace was more than just a royal residence, it was a sacred place where history, tradition, and governance intertwined.

A palace attendant in traditional attire greeted us warmly, ushering us toward the waiting area. As we gathered in an orderly fashion, the tour guide briefed us on palace etiquette:

We were to speak respectfully and listen attentively. (OMO, FEAR BADAGRY OH, DEM LIKE JUJU, JUJU HOUSE FOR HERE BE LIKE AS LIKE 10 CHURCHES FIT DEY ONE STREET)

We would be addressing the palace chiefs, as the king was not available.

Taking photographs would be restricted to certain areas.


With these instructions in mind, we took a deep breath and prepared ourselves for an insightful experience.

Meeting the Palace Chiefs

We were soon led into a grand hall where several elderly men sat in a semi-circle. Dressed in flowing agbadas with elaborate beads adorning their necks and wrists, they were the palace chiefs, the custodians of Badagry’s traditions. Their presence commanded both respect and admiration.

One of the chiefs, an elderly man with a deep, authoritative voice, stood up to address us.

“You are welcome to the palace of the Akran of Badagry,” he said with a warm smile. “We are pleased to have you here, but we must inform you that His Royal Majesty, the Akran, is not available to receive visitors due to old age. He has now retired from active public appearances, but we, his chiefs, will ensure you receive all the history and knowledge you seek today.”

There was a murmur among our group, not of disappointment but of understanding. Aging is a natural process, and we respected the king’s decision to withdraw from active duties.

The chief continued, “The throne of Badagry is one of the oldest in Yoruba land, and this palace has stood for generations. We will take you through our history, our traditions, and our role in preserving the culture of Badagry.”

A Brief History of the Badagry Monarchy

As we sat attentively, another chief took the floor, narrating the story of Badagry’s monarchy.

“The history of this kingdom dates back to the 15th century when our ancestors settled along the coast,” he explained. “Badagry was a key trading post for both local and foreign merchants. While trade in goods such as fish, salt, and textiles flourished, the era of the transatlantic slave trade cast a shadow over our history.”

He sighed before continuing, “The monarchy played a crucial role in trying to navigate the difficult times of that era. While some rulers resisted external influences, others engaged in negotiations for the survival of their people.”

His words painted a vivid picture of a town caught between power struggles, commerce, and colonial influence. It was a complex history, but one that gave us a deeper appreciation of Badagry’s resilience.
