ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE

Ethnic and religious prejudice,this is an unfavorable attitude,feelings or behavior against people,region or religion based on religious misunderstanding,ethnic diversity,false news,myths,stereotype or ethnic affiliation. This attitude impede human potentials and the victims such are more likely to have low self esteem,lack self confidence,poor self concept and limited aspiration. People with prejudiced attitude may find themselves at an economic,social,educational and political disadvantage,in essence,ethnic and religious prejudice threaten the development of both the perpetrator and the victims.

Prejudice gives the perpetrators a false sense of security and superiority,false confidence and pride,their inflated sense of self esteem may eliminate any guilt that would be normally associated with the negative attitude feeling and behavior toward others. People with prejudice attitude are real threat to collective reasoning and their acts,words,and attitude would ordinarily destroy a common purpose that should be pursued jointly.

People with prejudice tends to influence others with the same attitude on the same ground about religion and ethnicity by perpetrating the exaggerated myths and stereotype they accepted. This cycle of prejudice negatively affects the victims and the perpetrator by limiting their understanding of others and their potential to find common ground.

Prejudice acts can be quit subtle or unashamedly blatant,it's recognized and judged prejudiced if its denigrating or undermining,regardless of weather the action is subtle or unconscious,referring to ethnic group as them,you people or judging other ethnic or religious group harshly than how you judge yours for the same act is a prejudice or bigotry attitude,blaming others for economic,security and the entire political destabilization is a prejudice attitude that must be changed and eradicated in our attitude and environment.

Many prejudiced people don't usually accept they are due to their false sense of superiority and confidence,but willingness to look inwardly helps to change such situation.

People who interact with others from different ethnic and religious group and who are involved in activities that give them accurate information about cultural diversity and believes tends to develop sensitivity to ethnicity. These set of people are able to form their own opinion directly from their personal experience not news or third person narration and molded by myths and stereotypes.

People with prejudice usually see everything from an ethnic or religious angle,they consider others with different view as biased or prejudiced,whereas,they are. Their reasoning usually originate from sectionalism and are mostly limited not broad. They tends to see people with broader reasoning as a threat and indulge in any condemnation and the use of abusive languages. To get over this, we must be willing to look at our errors,take the blame for our wrong doings,maintain a single standard rather than judge others harshly more than ourselves for the same act,learn to improve our attitude and avoid hurting others with our words and actions. Most Nigerians are prejudiced due to the foundation of deceit,hatred and tribalism,the Yoruba people of southwest or Igbo's of the east ordinarily refer to Hausa's as Mallam or Aboki,ordinarily,Mallam or Aboki is not a bad name to call any Huasa person, but in the context used,it is regarded and used in an insulting manner. The Hausa's on the other hand refer to the yoruba's as bayerebe, or the igbo's as inyamirin.This is so due to the political rivalry,ethnic,cultural and value superiority which was used in political pursuit of the leaders to portray others region and tribes as inferior to them and not worthy of any respect. We must therefore move away from the negative attitude and stop the use of bad languages against each other for our collective progress and development. Based on the above submission,since it is clear that we have more prejudiced Nigerians than the none prejudice people,how would you regard yourself? Are you an ethnic or religious prejudiced? and what are you doing about it. Abdul AOH

SECURITY AND THE POWER OF POWER

The state power is the most formidable and useful power in any society,this explain why most wealthy people are never satisfied until they can control the political and economic power which automatically transform to state power.

State power is a very useful instrument to have and control,it gives you a feeling of superiority over all in the society and the sense of ownership,it in your limited reasoning places you above everyone and anyone,but little did you know it could also place you bellow everyone and anyone. The desire to control,distribute and direct social,economic and cultural lives of the people testify to the usefulness of state power,that is why people jostle,scheme and sometimes kill in an attempt to capture it,this is done to ensure self security and acquire the power of power. It is the basis of all security,all rights and privileges in a society and maintenance of any mode of livelihood. It gives you the chance to destroy of rebuild.

Wealthy people pursue their own security thereby creating insecurity. They want their security to oppress,violate,abuse and do all sort. They want the security in embezzlement,security in exploiting,security in every way of their life be it good or bad and they are willing to sacrifice the entire community to achieve their selfish desire. The current world setting is based on the survival of the fittest,it makes states or people to struggle in an attempt to get a fair,or giant share of the country or world resources at all cost, the conflict of ideology is another major factor which must all be considered. We must therefore guide our heart away from UnGodly reasoning,selfish pursuit and greediness.

NIGERIAN ORIGIN OF INTERNET (IFA) IN YORUBA LAND

May be i am wrong,but i think i am right,even though it is not confirmed,a more historic research and analysis would show the connection. I am aware that the history of internet/computer didn't show any connection,but come to think of it.

Computer/Internet was designed some someone,he represents the founder,he taught people,as in experts,then many followers use it.

IFA is an ancient Yoruba devination, Orunmila is the Grand Priest and custodian of Ifá who represents the founder of computer/internet. Ifa is the source of knowledge believed to have a keen understanding of the human form and of purity,information of the past and prediction of the future.

Divination
Performing Ifa divination is called Ifa dida or idafa (or dida owo and ounte ale) which may be represented as networking,setting up. Ifa dida / Idafa (networking)is performed by adifa (experts,computer engineer).

After setting up,a cyber cafe is handled to the admin just like the adifa,who coordinate the divination of ifa or the administration of the cyber cafe.

People consult the Ifa priest just as we consult the cafe or service provider,The items used for divination include:

* A group of sixteen Ikin, commonly known as sacred palm nuts, which are used to create binary data which can be represented as the modem or ticket incase of a cyber cafe,Dust from the Irosun tree (Iyerosun), which may be the keyboard,a vessel for the seeds (Ajere Ifa), which may represent the CPU,a divination tray (Opon Ifa) which may be the computer,a tapper instrument (Iroke Ifa), may represent the mouse.

Ifa is consulted to get information,connect people,know history of the past and prediction of the future. Just like the computer internet where we get information,connect our old friends,see future prediction etc.

we open our computer like the ifa priest would to his opan ifa,ask question just as we type with the key board and press enter. The opan ifa would search for your requested information and bring possible answer to your question which would be determined by you,just like google and other search engines would bring different option for you to choose that which best for you. A thorough historical research would prove more about the connection.

A BAD ROLE MODEL

I have not hidden my dislike for Sanusi Lamido's style of leadership and pursuit for power and relevance at at all cost,this time is not different. I am aware that some youths in Nigeria see him as role model,but i wonder. What role of Sanusi is worth modeling? other than the role of truth distorting,fact twisting,reality confusing,Goldy misrepresenting,history diverting,pride, shoulder Highness,insincerity and hidden agenda. Some would say he his intelligent, yes,but 419's are always intelligent.

good write up

Giving security to outsiders? Funny.

May God save this country.

hey guys,

lets make this thread a lyrics avenue,where we post lyrics of popular or unpopular songs,new or old songs.

People interpret songs differently,we can use this venue to put the record straight.

the floor is open

Thanks

May God help us.

From the information reaching me, the cost of transportation has instantly increased as a result of the fuel subsidy removal. I heard that the transportation from enugu to lagos is now N17,000 making it impossible for some people who went for xmas to go back to lagos. Pls share the cost of inter state transport for people traveling to know so as to effectively plan their jorney around. Thanks

a food for thought

Keeping silent for a fool gives him a point and makes foolishness accepted to others as a way since its unchallenged. AOH

Osun state government under the past administration, Oyinlola, used to feed the students of primary school and also give them books.

My 'single bad word' hasn bombed buildings, yes it hasnt bombed buildings, But it bombed people mind all over the world, any day they see it, it bombed the more,unlike bomb which just bomb once, yours wil always bomb.

Hasnt claimed countless innocent lives-yes it hasn't, but it has or will claim countless innocent minds who has or will read it into thinking bad which may eventually be worse than killing few innocent people,

Doesnt battle for supremacy- no it does, that why you challenge every challenge of it and doing more damage to prove the wrong right.

doesnt cause chaos n total civil unrest- yes it doesnt at the moment, but who knows what a bad word can do? the boko haram bombing and planning started with a word just like yours.

doesnt threaten more bomb attacks - sure it does, for everytime people read it, it brings bad feelings and bad feelings bring bad thought to do evil, and doesnt call for d head of d SSS boss- yes it does not, but may later call for the head of the president,

. I'l rightfully conclude dat my words are for d reflective minds who dont mind hearin d truth. TRuth? did you say truth? A truthful word is a word that seek to harmonize not separate, your is the opposite, and if you insist this is a truth, even boko harm which all condemn still think they are truthful, but the truth remain the truth,

U seem to be muslim dah's why u cant see past wats beneath your nose---Yes i am a Muslim,

But the truth is, religion has nothing to do with the truth,

The truth is a word on its own, be you a christian or muslim, the truth remain the same,
