PoliticsRe: Abolish States, Adopt 6 Geo-political Zones As Federating Units – Atiku by ElsonMorali: 2:10pm On May 23, 2017
Great idea.

Abolish states. Have regions and local government areas. Let each region source for funds to develop their region and pay some token to the Federal Govt.

This is still the best idea for Nigeria as far as I'm concerned and a step in the right direction for the country to splinter peacefully without bloodshed.

Every society had kings of some sort at one stage or another.

Just because it was done previously does not mean that we must continue with the practice, especially when there is no evidence of it having a positive effect on the society.

Is Ile-Ife safer than parts of the country that have no monarch? Is it more prosperous? Is it cleaner? Is there more industry?

The answer to all the above is no.
Have you heard of the queen of England? No?

You haven't presented one valid argument.

People are the reason why languages and customs survive, not a monarchy.

France does not have a monarchy and yet their customs and language remain intact.

What monarchy does China? Has its culture died?

Monarchs set a bad tone for the rest of a society in that they promote inequality and class stratification, hierarchy based on birth rather than on works.
Wow!

Come closer dear.

Monarchs are part of our culture and tradition.
Do you want me to repeat that?

Kings aren't just kings. They are a very valid part of Yoruba culture.

Whatever obtains in France applies to the French not to me as a Yoruba chap. And not everything the white man does must be copied by us. Get that?

That is the biggest load of nonsense.

You sound like the imbeciles who claim that Africa's progress has stalled because Africans follow the wrong religion.

The problem is poorly informed people, such as yourself, who think that we must keep doing things that do not benefit the society.

If the king was a vanguard of progress and prosperity I would keep my anti-monarchist sentiment to myself, unfortunately for him I am familiar with the issues of Ile-Ife and that is why I ask what his purpose is? Why would people pledge allegiance to an office that offers zero services?

People attack the FG and the state governments in Nigeria but they do far more than this guy and the other useless monarchs.
I was hoping you'd realize your folly and keep shut, But alas! Ignorance has become the vestment you so proudly adorn.

A spring or brook that forgets it's source dries up. No doubt.

You want all the kings in Yorubaland to abdicate and abolish their thrones because according to you, they are not contributing anything to society.

I'd be surprised or shocked at this submissions But I recently realized that a lot of Nairalanders wrote this last university entrance examination. Arguing with a kid at times could be strenuous and demeaning.

So instead I'll educate you. You can thank me later.

The Ooni of Ife and all the other monarchs in our lands are the custodians of our esteemed culture, traditions, rites and religion.

These kings/monarchs are the ambassadors of our culture worldwide and the guardians of our collective heritage as Yorubas.

Our culture and tradition are very much exportable and that's why our language is a thing of pride and in high regard and in high demand outside the shores of the African continent.

You may want to check the link below for verification.

https://whatsupibadan./2013/11/16/yoruba-language-is-studied-in-47-american-varsities-says-ui-don/

Our culture, our pride.

We love and revere our kings.

What harm do they do anyway by being monarchs in their domain?

I suspect that you're from an ethnic group that maybe doesn't have such a thing to be proud of, so the next best thing is to pull others down. Grow up!

Enquiry is not an act of pride
But invariably it is. Some people seek knowledge for self gratification and for a sense of exaltation above their peers.

Others seek knowledge as a light to their path, realizing that their life is a journey and would be better tread If they had the light of life.

Why do you seek the knowledge of God?

Your answer will determine what your action will be when you reach the limit of your natural human perception of God.

You'll either be prideful which leads to atheism, or you become humble discovering your nothingness before the Almighty, which will transport you increased relationship with Him whom you seek.

If u succeed in convincing me that God is an uncreated creator, will it be out of place den if I argue dat He doesn't exist since He wasn't created? I say dis because for a thing to be, it has to be caused.
For a thing to be, it has to be caused. This is only true regarding all created beings, whether in this plane of existence If matter or in other planes of existence which we even know nothing of.

If you say He doesn't exist because he wasn't created, you are equating Him to you as well as denying your own existence.

You can't then make sense If your own existence.

At the beginning of our discussion, If you remember, I wrote that proof of God's existence (for us) is embedded in our own existence.

There's no way you look at yourself and not see that the human being has been intelligently crafted. And intelligence can only be attributed to a living being.

If like some atheists and God haters say, that we were created by some aliens from outer space, the next logical question jumps right at you. Who created them aliens?

You have to get by that point where you realize that there must there should be, there IS an uncreated Creator who has always existed and will always exist.

Yes. So Many people have fallen away when they tried to capture God within their limited mindset, just like you're doing, and they've become atheists because they feel that a God that cannot be fathomed by them cannot exist. Just like someone would say since I haven't seen ghosts, so by ethnic don't exist. That'd be simplistic.

There's a limit to How much any created mind, human or angelic can grasp.

We need to accept this otherwise we are incurably proud and full of ourselves.

It isn't a problem. The little we know of Him should make us worship in awe and make us want to know him more.

If I understand you well, we are in dsame boat. Since that which created a thing was also created at a time by another bigger being, who den created the one we call God?
You can only ask this question because you are subconsciously attributing the qualities of a created being to God.

Just like your mind finds it difficult to grasp the idea or picture How a square-circle or a triangle-square or even a black light or white shadow would look like, (because you haven't seen one before in this life), so also your mind will find it impossible to grasp the concept of an uncreated Being, simply because everything you've always seen and known were created. Your clothes, your house, your car, heck we even rear animals and plants for food.

Once you can step outside of that limitation of your mind concerning God being the uncreated Creator, then you'll have a eureka moment. And that begins your journey in search for God.

I can only Hope Seun will join you in this journey. smiley

You are approaching this from the wrong perspective.

You are asking the wrong questions.

Here, Let me help you:

Start with yourself, How did you come to be born? Because of daddy and mommy, right?

So, How did daddy and mommy come to be? Because of their own parents right?

So, If you're patient and tenacious enough, you'll get to a point where you'll have to pick between the concept of Adam and Eve or evolution (man being a tadpole in some slimy muck and then stepping out unto dry land, adapting and becoming man.

Then logically our next question should be... that's right, where did that tadpole, or whatever humans evolved from came from?

If you keep this up, you'll prolly be close to 90 years old by the time to get to the big bang.

So, you'll then ask yourself, what is the big bang? WHO made it bang?

Nothing cannot just bang all by itself. Something or someone must have made it bang.

Who is that person, or force?

Then you'll start the Almighty loop. Who created the person that created the person that created... I'll leave you now to continue the loop yourself... grin

If logic doesn't apply to God, how did you come to realise this? How did you arrive at this conclusion?

How did you arrive at the points/examples you gave above?
You have to understand that the physical plane of existence is a drag on our immortal souls.

We feel hungry, thirsty, tired, sleepy etcetera because we are joined to this mortal flesh till the expiration of our individual mortal lives.

Those who have made huge strides in contemplative life and have had the opportunity to feel existence in the astral plane, or spiritual world If you will, will tell you that this mortal flesh, this realm of time and space, this realm where you have to put one foot in front of the other before you can move the gross matter called flesh, this material world where you have to acquire knowledge through laborious means, is totally inferior to that which comes after death.

Those who go through Near-death experiences will tell you that much too. (Unfortunately, yours truly has only experienced a bit of the Etheric plane and not the Astral plane. embarassed Working on it though)

You don't expect that the Creator would bind himself to the laws governing the physical plane, would you? Laws like, time, space, gravity, karma, the wear and tear of the physical plane etc.

If our souls are above that, why would we expect God not to be?

Oh, you don't believe that we have souls, you say?

Come now, even scientists are beginning to believe that there might indeed be something left after the death of the human body. Google is your friend. smiley

That's exactly my point.

It is easier to teach a 3 year-old the finer aspects of Nuclear Thermo Dynamic Astrophysics than trying to understand even one of the Mysteries of God and His Perfections.

It will take all of eternity for the most brilliant human minds combined with the best angelics minds to even begin plumbing the depth of God.

We can only keep trying to know Him.

For to know Him is to Love Him and to Love Him comes the unquenchable desire to serve Him.

And that is why we exist. The only reason we are in this world. To know, love and serve Him.

Every other thing is by the way.

Pride and arrogance is what makes us think we should be able to plunge the depths of he who created us.
