Now i know u are joking.

@ haha, nice insight... Let's not be too agnostic about the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, (It may interest you to cross reference H.G. Wells Classic, A Short History of The World, 1922), that Jesus was neither Caucasian, Blonde, Blue Eyed, Tall, nor Handsome, he was Black Eyed, had Jet Black-Bald Hairline, had a Hump, and walked with a Staff, because of his Hump et al.,.

Of course his life has historic mention, even though most, if not all his activities were exaggerated to suit European Imperial Interest.

Gun Boat diplomacy, employed by Elizabeth I (1533-1603) the so called 'Virgin Queen', using the 'bible and the sword' to 'pacify' locals all over the World, from Ireland to India, New Indies(Americas) to the Scramble for Africa(Berlin Conference) in 1884 by Otto Van Bismarck, to tectonically (with German efficiency) organize there 'Lucrative Heist' and 'Imperial Rape' of Afrika.

Her half Brother(Heir Apparent) from Henry VIII, King James I, only made the scheme better by compiling the various scrolls and tracts in 1611, after his coronation to initiate the King James Version (KJV).

Were early 'Christians'(followers) not termed Terrorist? What was Paul(Saul)'s citation pre conversation? Wasn't he a prosecutor? Or a turn-coat? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

'Afrika must wake up' ... Peace!

Where are the priests? Where are the kola nut? Where is the church?

But, we know the catholic church(othordox denominations) do not frown on consumption of alcoholic beverages, so far its in moderation. Just like churches in Europe hold prayer meetings with beer as refreshments. Don't also forget that some Nations in Northern Europe have little fresh water supply/sources, hence they substitute with spirits like Vodka which is functional and logical, as such water would be very cold at room temperature, and spirits also have a warm(hot) effect on the body.

Summary: Moderation is key, let Afrikans not cry more than the bereaved, because the Caucasians that introduced this Religious Dogmas have reasoned beyond all this shenanigans. Afrika must wake up!

A friend of mine invited me to his Catholic church today(dnt ask me d name of d parish or its location)
Bt its an ordination ceremony,
The surprising things there
1--They r using colanuts as one of their instruments of ordination.
2--A DJ was brought in and he was giving them series of circular music's.
To cap it all,
Stand or sitting before me are crates of beers consumed by members of d high table.....
Pls if u r a roman Catholic member here on NL.
Is it a num in d church or this is just one out of a million�

Afrika must wake up from this colonial mentality, Roman Catholics came in to Lagos in the 19th century, Kola, spirits, and percussionist drums and dances with chants have always been part and parcel of the Afrikan Liturgy. All this "imported" religious beliefs have their benefit, but let's not be afraid to be Afrikans, or Hybris like CCC, C&S, or ROF.

Something for the Arewaites to be cheerful about(the 21st century inclined Malo's), not everybody should be a cleric or zealot. Religion is overrated.

@Basic123
Good Evening Sir,
Lovely work you are doing.
I sent a request via your Profile, can we exchange opinions, as I need to make a clarification. Can you assist with any opening at this project of a life time sir? Any role with direct bearing to this project will be appreciated sir.

DonX001:


No point in quoting you again going forward. Too many idiots running loose on Nairaland. I'll just ignore you as you're a waste of my precious time.

My last word to you is-
If you keep smoking what you're smoking, you'll either end up in Aro or YabaLeft, possibly permanently. That's if you're lucky.
If you're not lucky, you'll end up jumping into the lagoon one day.
The choice remains yours.

But you just did, you bipolic itj.

DonX001:


My dear, seems the weed you took is working even stronger than ever before.
Did you cook it with beans??
If you continue like this, you might end up being admitted for a looong time at Aro or YabaLeft....
That's if you're not typing this from inside there already.

Your dear's in your house,...you piece of shit. Its your family that will end up in Aro.
Bastard child of a thief! U wan make Ogun use ur blood baff! Beta stay ur lane; idiot.

femi4:
Thanks.

You'll see what I mean? Why are you thanking me? Read between the lines, if you can.

The guy is probably high on Oshogbo weed...[/quote

@DonX001 kids like you that keep repeating this useless and stale Osogbo weed joke need to grow up or find something new to say OK?
This NL is full of ignorant waste of a space. IGNORANCE is not an EXCUSE, try to read more OK, maybe then, you'll quoting my statement will be wiser and hopefully, will get the point. Not after I have died at an old graceful age like Fela told your dumb forbearers, but y'all didn't get it till he died, or like Saro wiwa was advocating, before dunces like that dark googled dictator murdered that LORD!
Children on Nairaland who barely have education that excels will be Muzzing!!! Check Yourselves fools, before you wreck yourselves in your own spittle. Piece of slime, wasted in a womb!

femi4:
Only fools post nonsense

@femi4
Like this post of yours......

Tazdroid:
are you immortal? No, so say things "at the proper time" , that appeal to reason OK?

@Tazdroid obviously you are not literary. And since you have appointed yourself as the most reasonable of people. Take out time to check/search the root origin of the phrase " Only fools die". Moreover, when critiques are done(Literally), you do not separate the pre-text from the contexts of the statement or sentence.
Possibly, you where in a haste to 'react' and comment/quote opinions on NL, that you have failed to think about the statement before acting. I hope you are not a millennial here or this unfawn teens quick to babyism? WHAT was said was "Only fools die, let the dead sleep, RIP to the dead".... Now, how does that personal Opinion which I am entitled to not sound reasonable to you? Grow up, before you sit with MEN.

Only fools die, let the dead sleep.... RIP to the Dead.

Patiently waiting for the children of Shuku Alabiabia to come do what they know how to do best



I remember the day Fulani herdsmen attacked Yorubas in Oyo state, one Alabiabia descendant said "I swear they can't try this in Aba and Onitsha." Lwtmb that day

Clowns have been beating their dry, hairy chests since Nico Mbarga sang sweet mother . If there's anything you have to give props to Ipob clowns for, it is their ability to provide Nairalanders with Grade A comedy

Ipork clowns on the keyboard 24-7 fighting Yorubas like...

Silence…

Shhhhhhhhhh….

Its a gathering, a religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or fame, with its followers often living in an uncontroversial manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.

That’s the dictionary meaning of the word cultism, and to me it has gone beyond the days of the Ayes and the Pyrates as persay.

Cultism today has developed a new phase which of course is no much different from the definition above and in this I wish to throw more light on.

The founding fathers of cultism in Nigerian today, would sit back and smile at what it has become, others like my able laureate Wole Soyinka as a learned man would understand the adverse effects of his good intentions back in 1952 in the University Of Ibadan and frown bitterly because so many souls, the innocent and the guilty have been lost or killed for the sake of the word “Cultism”

Today, Cultism has become a new thing in the Nigerian society and what pains me more is the rate at which this new phase is generally accepted and respected in every home.

Our youths no longer says welcome to the good things, to the good names and to the degrees. They only want to enjoy the gift of this new cult and I still say its not worth the attention it currently gets in our society.

The new phase of cultism is so admired by all simply because of the good things that is believed to come with it.

The leaders of this cult are not those in 1952, its simply those that are seen as bosses or Oga in the game. Wait in the game of what? Game of pretence and stealing?

You hear Johnson caught his new car, Toyota Spider and your every sanity vanishes from your head. You see him build house for his papa and mummy and you suddenly want to explode.

Your every good mentality suddenly drops and you want to hit his wall, house or phone in order to blend in. Now he actually picks your call and you go straight to the point.

“Make they carry me along naa”, you demand to be carried along, to be updated with the current trends in the cult and if his mind allows, he invites you to his spot.

Buy some high profile cognacs, BBQ and assorted kinds of booz and your day is made. Oboy this guy na blast.

You’ve probably touched the heavens and no one reach you again.

Now you’ve tasted the cult, the next thing you wanna do is blend of be blended into the system and so you look for money from every corner and hit the plaza or the mall to do some shopping (Buying Laptops for Yahoo = being blended into the cult)

After the shopping you want to buy the uniform too, may be regalia is a better word for it. And so you

Walk into a Barbara shop,

Dies your hair black
Grow some dreads, after a few weeks of sleeplessness, you catch Your own Toyota spider, Drink a lot of codeine (The favorite drug of the members), take a lot of weed, hit the jewelry shop and get some gold chains or mimics, you buy that Trending Nike Slippers, get your own tattoo on the face and get one or 2 piercing.

Now you’re a bonafide member of cult, you’re trending, you’ve been with the bosses and you’re recognized.

You buy their favorite smartphone brand (iPhone), you now get a very cool hotel where you spend most of your night.

You actually speak and text like all members do and you begin to hit on girls like your bosses do, if you’re not careful enough, you’re introduced to the “Plus” version of the cult and this time a human sacrifice becomes necessary.

They ask for one or 2 members of your family, probably your mum or any other person the juju could work for. Its called “Washing of hands” and you’re big boy now.

The money keeps coming, you stay real to the cult and you’re a big boy. You hit the clubs and buy the expensive brands of wine, probably 300,000 every night and you’re good with the girls.

You’re on Facebook only to do one thing “Seek the innocent white women” and scam the hell out of them and you think you’re going to make heaven?

The cult is growing fast and so other new ones are introduced to you. They call you boss and you think you’re really a good boss.

Look you’re just a thieve, you’re a cultist and you are among the many thieves that have spoiled the name of this country, even if they don’t know you’re a Nigerian, you’re one and you’re the reason why I was called a scam in Jamaica.

You’ve made it hard for Nigerians to walk into a Club or a shop and but with their cash because the cash (Dollar, euro, dinar, pounds has to be scanned to ensure its not fake, yet a little boy walks in with his bill, buys and walks away without his notes check simply because you’ve made the world believe there is every bit of scamming in our gene.

You’ve made it almost hard for an average honest Nigerian to secure a job abroad because you’ve so spoiled the name “Nigerian” to the extent that even illiterates now frowns at the average educated Nigerian youth out there.

This is the cult and it is trending now, but that’s selfish though cos you’re happy for your own pocket.

Not really here to criticize the actual cultism, I respect everyman for his religion and culture but this new phase of cultism is what I frown at cos its caused me a lot of pain.

Can’t even make a friend from outside Nigeria here on Facebook without having to explain how clean I am from scamming.

Please feel free to leave your comments and suggestions

@Mr Pinner. You are entitled to your opinion, but I dare say the topic you chose may be off point(according to what you wrote) Fratanity should be separated from Confrantanity, as the latter is what you alluded to majorly in your post. Confrantanities have always existed in pre-'Nigerian' Nation-States and precolonial empires. This also included Aboriginal Confrantanities like the Ogboni which was recorded by Prof Uli Bier and Suzanne Wenger(Aduni Or is a) during their Academic studies of African Sociology and Arts. They in fact had to be initiated before being allowed access to some of their esoteric knowledge and history! This was at least decades before the formation of the first campus fratanity in Ibadan. Fratanities also exist in developed countries, as employers require this frat graduate state on their resume/CV the fratanity they belong to. The only difference is that they are more cerebral in activisim, and not "SECRETIVE". Thus, begging the Question, Should Nigerian Campus Fratanities be More Open Legal? Or less Secretive? Criminals that engage in kidnapping/human trafficking should be separately treated from the aforementioned cadre of Societies. Whether their goal is to dismember victims for " Blood Money " or cannibal fetishist ends, because some of the "RITUALS" performed by the Aforementioned Societies do not require any Human Sacrifices as its method of Attonment.(NB- BLOOD MONEY RITUALIST may(and mostly) be cultist, as their modus operandi dictates.
