And yes, we are all Aborishas. We all nourish one "consciousness" or the other, seeing as we are social beings. Ina kwana! |

One of my favourite quote from Kemetic literature is: "know thyself, know nature." This is similar to Ifa's explanation of human consciousness. Pertaining to the human brain, we'd both be deluding ourselves if we choose to submit that modern science has contributed less to the study of the human brain, compared to, maybe, ifa. Ifa focuses more on the mind, science is concerned with every-every. And whats more: science is continually a work in progress. |

FOLYKAZE: They are non-existence when it is woven through other cultural knowledge. That is what you saidThis is obviously a case of mistaken interpretation. Read the comment you referred to in the quoted again. I wrote "...beyond what is narrated in the many literatures is ALMOST non-existent," and I tried to relate that to the figurative meaning that xtians now attach to the Luciferic serpent. Anyway, that's that! |

I take it most of those commenting about Ibadan on this thread have not been there before. Imagine someone saying Akure, Asaba, and the likes are more developed that IB. One even had the temerity to mention Abakaliki in the same breath as Ibadan. Jokes will never cease! 2 Likes |

And isn't it a little too extreme to dismiss what you clearly don't get as 'wrong'? Say what you will, the ancient ancients never thought of stars as centres of solar systems, if available literature is anything to go by. Ire o! |

FOLYKAZE: Yoruba spirituality is of the ancient time. Event and element are illustrated through mythology, allegory and metaphor.Hate? What's to hate in ancient beliefs and practices? They tell our story. |

*The 512-max words in a post on this phone isn't helping.* Anyway, I get (at least part of) the point in the original post. Even I have always maintained that irrespective of personal beliefs, we all serve something: a deity, a purpose, an innate urge, etcetera etcetera. The rest are just art: literatures, demonstrations, performances, etc. But then, imagine the world without those? It will be colourless. Salaam. |

You cannot talk consciousness and universality in the context of Yoruba (traditional) spirituality and hope to include Ganymede or TrES-4 in the plot. That will be the same as a modern xtian trying to equate the talking snake in the biblical story of creation with metaphors. When the plot of the basics of Yoruba spirituality was being woven, through history, experiences, migrations, culture-meets, etc, the knowlege of heavenly bodies beyond what is narrated in the many literatures was almost non-existent. |

@FOLYKAZE There is one of those Oju Odu's that speaks about ori being the most superior of the orishas, at least in the context in which the story - a particular one - was told. Pertaining to spirituality and religion, the lines are blurred more often than not. It's not always black and white. Before the advent of popular monotheism, the belief systems were, I believe, considered as 'spiritualities' (I dunno if you get my meaning). |

You've made a very valid point, especially as pertains to the nourishment of selected consciousness(es) in the universe. However, you argument falls within the same sphere as religion: that humans are the centre - most important - of universal entities, as evident in your veneration of 'ori'. I am an atheist, and I am a Yoruba boy. I cannot relate with the middle-eastern religions, but I'm always at home with the doctrines of Yoruba spirituality. We are creatures of the earth; the universe is far bigger. |

If the writer of the article hadn't made the same old mistake that many commentators make - gone political with the write-up, this would've been a classic piece. When my parents were sponsoring me in school, they weren't interested in (or worried about) a Yoruba-Igbo competition somewhere, they only wanted to do their best for their kid and themselves. All these silly tribal rubbish are instruments fabricated & deployed by politicians to pull support. There are more than 200 ethnic groups in 9ja! 3 Likes |

a = without/no; theo = god; ism = belief. Atheism = without belief in god. The word "atheism" itself predates popular monotheism, i.e. Christianity & Islam. Why people equate atheism with denial, I dunno. We simply don't believe the sh¡t! That doesn't mean it doesn't (or they don't) exist. Is there Harry Potter? O yes, the flying wizard at Hogwarts. Is there JC? O yes, the man who walked on water in....Is there Muhammad? Yes na, no be him be Allah's messenger? Salaam. 2 Likes |

Masagoody the boss, it was nice meeting you, again. And to the lady, who said she's ghost too (failed to ask for her username), it was nice to meet you too, and I must say that your voice has started a competition with Mary Morningstar's, in my head, as the sweetest voice I've ever heard. lol. For those who are up for assessment today, you'll have four short presentations/interviews. The good thing is that you get to know what you'll present before you go in. All the best! 1 Like |
