scionofurhobo:
Introduction


The Urhobo people like all his other brethren ethnic groups that make up the territory called Nigeria, had fled from Sudan, and like the other groups appeared to have conspired to keep their whereabouts a secret from their strong foes. It had to be a secret flight – ‘a disappearing act’ – from North Africa through the Trans-Saharan Trade Route to West Africa and Nigeria, so that they would not be tracked and hunted down by their determined, ferocious foes, especially their kin, king Ayerada (of Isoko lineage) who was bent on converting the whole of Ethiopia (and Nubia) to Christianity either by the Holy Bible or by the sword. Urhobo and the others were well-motivated to abandon Nubia for the following reasons:

1. They were not willing to abandon their ancient gods.

2. They were no match for the military prowess of King Ayerada.

3. Their hitherto thriving economy had failed, as the land was no more yielding oro (gold) and other minerals;

4. Their failing agriculture.

To further cover their tracks and make their ‘vanishing act’ a success, the Fei-roh (Pharaoh, king) and Oloris (leaders/priests) had agreed to prohibit amongst the people the following activities, as well as prohibit speaking or making reference to the topics and subjects listed below, amongst their offspring and on-coming generations:

1. Origin and history of the peoples;

2. Accounts of their migration to their present location;

3. The art of writing (in hieroglyphic) formerly, by the priests;

4. The exposing art and highly revealing technology of pyramid, sphinx and obelisk buildings, and tombs technology;

5. The art and science of mummification; amongst others.

These things were, hitherto, integral aspects of their lives and culture in Sudan, Egypt and even beyond, now stopped.
The people were making a clean break from their past at that point where Ayerada stepped in; for the purpose of ethnic preservation, and for the purpose of preventing the subjugation of their multitude of idols and gods, especially the sun god, Hay-ya-ra, formerly called Re (Hor-re), the moon goddess, Amun (Amoon or Ama-Ra (little Ra) and the sea goddess, Isi.

Therefore, as they crossed the Trans-Saharan Trade Route into Chad, they veered off into the virgin Savannah, moving further down mid-west-ward, through virgin lands until they were swallowed up by the inviting, protective, thick, virgin forests.

God bless you OP for this.

Long live the Urhobo and isoko culture.

long live all nigerdelta culture.

Buhari is a terrorist

Don't be lazy.
Just type 'Buhari achievements as PTF chairman' on Google and read for yourself ok.

I am lazy. You that is not lazy and confident of Buhari achievement should post them here for all to see.

Akanniade:

What you call religion still has their pagan origin, but thats another kettle of fish entirely.
The book and show didnt feature a christain 'god' but the e03 dialogue involved reference to different 'jesus'- black jesus, white jesus, swarthy greek jesus, mexican jesus doing well across america. They even jested that the hispanic jesus swam across the border to get to america.

Yeah, I get your point, jesus was only mentioned but wasnt featured. Why? Simply because this battle is between old pagan gods vs modern day gods.
I even believe that they just wanted to take a swipe against christianity as usual. Jesus or all the jesuses according to the series are still being worshipped till date, meaning they have massive followers and hence are very powerful. the jesuses are still as powerful as the modern gods so why didnt odin(wednesday) approach jesus for help? It looks nice in a christian perspective that odin a powerful god is meeting jesus for help. but remember that this show wasnt created only for christains, hence i believe they are trying their best to narrow i down to strickly traditional gods vs modern gods.

If you like, slam your fore head on the concrete floor from now till 2moro, i've said my own.




Bloody hypocrites.

You guys are the biggest hypocrite. It is okay for a muslim man to marry a christian girl but it is not okay for a christian man to marry a muslim girl. Abeg go fall inside gutter joor.

PHILipu1:
.
I can not do that for you.
Goggle it yourself ok.
The information is readily available.

If Buhari really achieved anything and you were proud of it, you will post it here.

PHILipu1:
.

Google is there for you to check out his achievements as PTF chairman.

Post them here, or are you not proud of your Buhari's PTF achievements?

Akanniade:

Dont get me wrong. I am not trying to slight the Islamic religion, but you will agree there are fantasies even in mainstream religions by false gospels or hadiths. For example 'bel and the dragon' a biblical aprochypa book is mostly fantasies.

I know that you aren't slighting the Islamic religion however, all the old gods are traditional gods not religious. Eg Odin is a Viking god, Anasi is Ghanaian traditional god, Anubis is an ancient Egyptian god etc.

PHILipu1:
.
I said i can not baby sit you ok.
You can simply Google it.

You have not really given any concrete fact on how Buhari looted PTF too apart from sharing so fake sponsored writes up without facts.

All you do share are just fake propagandas that were sponsored so that Nigerians will not vote for him.
If you have any government gazette or white paper that indicted Buhari then i will believe you ok.
Stop fooling yourself with all this fake and sponsored bloggers stories.

You claim that I am providing blogger stories. So why don't you who has the authentic details provide them with the source to back up your claim. It is obvious you can't defend Buhari is you can't even post just a link to show his success while in PTF.

PHILipu1:
.
Goggle it yourself and learn.
I should not baby sit you ok.
All the things you need are on net.

You should be proud to show off Buharis PTF achievements with proof for all to see. How hard is that.

Pangea:
Gay s.ex alert, episode 3 is disgusting

That part was very disgusting. Must they bring gay stuff to TV series?

Gmajor:


Yup.
though the call it Mr Nancy

The Nancy part is from Anancy (Anasi).

Akanniade:

The book and show exploits the arabic/islamic myth that she swallows men through her vagina.

Well, I disagree.
The Islamic myth never termed her to use her vagina to swallow men.

Also, in the TV series, the gods being portrayed here are all traditional gods and not religious gods. Eg, Odin, Anasi, Bilquis, Anubis, even the leprechaun guy are all traditional gods worshiped by traditional people that came to America.

So it is more of old gods(traditional gods) vs new gods (modern gods)

PHILipu1:
.

We all know his achievements and that is why he is called MAI GASKIYA and anybody that want to know more can just Google it.

He handle PTF and came out as trustworthy as usual even though your people sponsored fake stories to discredit him because they knew he was the only one capable of sending PDP parking.
We all knew that all this PTF stories that he looted PTF were fake to discredit him and i thank God that Nigerians were not deceived and they voted for him and he is our president ok.

Hahahaha, more pointless talk as usual. Show us his achievements in PTF let's see. That's what we want.

CplusJason:
Never forget Yunusa (a.k.a Yellow) and Ese Oruru.







Bloody head slamming hypocrites.

Stop talking like an illiterate. Ese oruru case was that of paedophilia. It is a crime. Ahmed Musa married a Christian woman, did you see any one complain?

PHILipu1:
.

You can simply Google Buhari achievement as PTF chairman.
I guess guys like you don't do personal research but believe every thing that all this fake bloggers dish out.
Do your own research and be enlighten and don't dwell on fake propagandas ok.

Google it yourself and post it here. Let everyone see the so called achievements of Buhari when he was in PTF. Atleast, you should be bold to flaunt his success.

PHILipu1:
.

Looted PTF dry?
The roads that PTF constructed in Nigeria are still there for all to see.
The hospitals that PTF constructed and equipped are still there for all to see.
Since PTF,there is no other government agency that has done what PTF did even NDDC.

If funds are meant for something and you use it for that thing,does that amount to looting?
Stop all this your hatred,it will take you know where.
It's Buhari till 2023 in Jesus name.
Amen.

Show us pictures of the hospitals you are talking about that was constructed by Buhari when in PTF? Infact show us what exactly Buhari did and achieved while in PTF apart from looting. At least, you should have reverences to back you up.

Talk is cheap.

PHILipu1:
.

Go and get your facts before you come here and spill rubbish.
PTF was disbanded immediately Obasanjo took over and within 3 years of it operations,it did many roads,hospitals,infrastructure etc that no organization has been able to match.

PDP put us into recession and hid the truth from us.

You are yet to provide a single fact to buttress your own claim. No reference link, no referral image no nothing and you want to be taken seriously? If i ask you to provide proof that PTF was disbanded immediately obasanjo took over, you will start talking gibberish. If you dont know, PTF was disbanded over a year and half after OBJ took over in 1999. During that period, Buhari looted the country dry, #fact. Buhari caused recession in 1983-1984 ( no pdp then to blame), and the same incompetent president have put us in another recession. Half of the year is almost gone and we are yet to have the Budget of this year signed and implemented. The incompetence and negligence of this government is out of this world.

PHILipu1:
.

Only a fool thinks that a country that had a sound economy will just fall into recession over night or within 2 years even if the new president is the worst in world history.

The recession we were in was not as a result of Buhari 2 years policies but a result of 16 years of PDP bad governance and lack of no planning.
We had oil boom but failed to diversify or develop our infrastructures

A woman does not get pregnant and within a month or two give birth to a good child or bad child.

We were already deep into recession even before the 2015 election but the previous government were hiding it so that they could win the 2015 election.

Buhari has nothing to do with our recession and stop blaming him.

Put your blame on the previous government that lied to us about the true state of our economy then.

You argue like a baby. Do you know the person who made that comment? Do you know the number of financial, economical experience he has? Can you even debate intellectually your own assertions with him? You just come here to talk and make mouth without providing tangible evidence or facts to back you up. Buhari has everything to do with the current recession. In 1983 he caused recession and now the same thing due to his negligence and incompetence, so I don't get your point.
Even under the PDP 16years of misrule that you keep mentioning Buhari was part of it under obj he was in charge of PTF were he looted the economy dry. Every angle points to buhari incompetence and negligence

No be only house of common, na Fuji house of commotion! Mtchhhhww

sarrki:
The truth is only north can't decide the fate of the country anymore

We are all stake holder

Either the southern parts like it or not this is a clarion call to them

This is the very first time you make alot of sense and talk like a true patriot

PHILipu1:
.

The most important thing is that who is the head and boss of all this people that you mentioned above?
The answer is Buhari.
This people will not dare try what they did under GEJ and PDP because Buhari has the will to send them out of his government or send them to jail and that is the big difference.

A good pastor will never send unbelievers away but he will make sure that he correct their paths.
All have seen and come short of the glory.

Please tell us where Buhari is today? The impunity that was in GEJ time is still here today if not worse. Budget padding, grass cutting scam etc. They are too numerous. The woeful failure is beyond immeasurable and Buharis incompetence has put us in the worst recession in 25years. BTW you are yet to provide back up to all your claims. Stop posting without back up references.

PHILipu1:
.

His promise was that he was going to build world class hospitals and government officials will no longer travel abroad for treatment again.
The PDP left any funds for such hospitals to be built within 2 years?
The answer is capital NO.
They left empty treasury.
Did they build any world class hospital in their 16 years?
The answer is also capital NO.

Don't you know that those promises were made based on the statistics and figures that the PDP government were dishing out to Nigerians and this statistics and figures later turned out to be fake and wrong.

There was no way the APC would have known that because they had no access to the real informations at that time.

The figures and statistics about our economy and foreign reserve were all fake and lie,PDP just wanted to use those fake information to win the 2015 elections and it was only when APC took over power that they really knew that all those informations were fake and the present government have tried and i will repeat it that it could have been worse than this if not for Buhari.

We all remember how Ngozi the former finance minister warned Nigerians even before PDP lost the 2015 election that we should prepare for tougher times due to drop in oil price at international market.

Were are just too unfair to Buhari.

A woman that did not gather water when it rains should not expect to see water to use if no more rain.
We had oil boom and did nothing with it but we expect Buhari to perform magic that the previous government could not perform with crude oil selling as high as $140 per barrel then.

What on earth are you taking about? Is it PDP that made the promises or APC?

Buhari made a promise that once elected, government officials will not travel out for medical treatment(no foreign health care) ..Today where is Buhari receiving his own medical treatment? Or did oil price also affect it too? I need answers to these questions.

PHILipu1:
.

How did they fail?
Nigerians in 2015 gave them a mandate of 4 years and after 4 years Nigerians will rate them with their PVC.
It's just 2 years and even with fallen crude oil price which is our major source of income as a nation,we are still moving to the next level,the present government has been able to manage things.

I bet you that it could have been worse if the past government and GEJ were allowed to continued and crude oil price is this low and the looting continue.
We could all have been refugees in some other Africa countries by now.

We should thank God that Buhari came during such a time.

So a party of people who promised heaven on earth after winning elections changed their mouths to say they were voted to do the impossible are not failures right? Keep on defending incompetent leaders. You will soon get tired.

Only a fool blame other people for his or her own misfortune.
Instead of you to look inward and see where your hero failed,you are here blaming the opposition and Buhari for your hero failure.
Why couldn't they scammed Obasanjo who is a southerner and Christian too.

The men working with our clueless son were wiser than him and were just using the issue of bokoharam to milk this country dry and your hero couldn't just figure it out.

It is so funny that Buhari and APC are now killing and disorgainizing the bokoharam fighters that they used to scam GEJ and PDP according to you.
We all knew that the PDP arranged for Buhari to be killed in Kaduna so that it will look like bokoharam attack because GEJ and PDP knew that it was only Buhari that was going to be their problem in remaining in power.

Do you know how much we were budgeting on security during this bokoharam issue,the corrupt and wicked men working with your hero then didn't want bokoharam to end so that such amounts would not be remove from the budget.

They were just feeding on bokoharam funds and didn't want it to end.

Don't blame anybody or group for your hero failure.

To the bolded, that means Buhari, Lai Mohammed, current ministers, APC government and even APC supporters are all fools according to you since they all blamed past government for their failure and misfortune.
