kunlekunle: you dont understand the effect of the big brother watching you.

Special effect or butterfly effect? Which effect?

This Edward Snowden guy is a hero-feeling masochist. I don't see anything wrong with Uncle Sam scanning the whole world for nut-cases so the rest of us can feel safe and informed. Ofcourse almost everyone knows at the back of their mind that the almighty USA ought to have gizmos that does things like what this disturbed, indignant-feeling guy risked his life, liberty, money and comfortability for, all to feel HEROIC. I just don't get it.

If those comments are true as claimed by their posters, then it's a clear evidence of 'religious delusion'. Period.

[quote author=A-HA]AFRICA WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN THE DARKEST CONTINENT IN THE WORLD.[/quote]Yes Africa may continue to remain in the dark because of ignorant people like you who think knows but doesn't know. Was it Africans that call themselves Africans or their lands dark continent? Are you aware that they're tremendous external manipulative forces responsible for the present state of Africa.

[quote author=A-HA]THE SPIRIT OF GOD HAS LEFT AFRICA LONG TIME AGO.[/quote]for you to have known that the spirit of God has left Africa then you must surely know where that 'spirit of God' has gone to seek a new abode.

[quote author=A-HA]AFRICANS STILL BELIEVE IN WITCHCRAFT IN 2013.[/quote]No, majority of todays Africans believe and act with a mindset that has been irreversibly conditioned to eliminate anything that doesn't conform to their slave master's religion such as burning of a concept sold to them as witch-woman and specially gifted children who were obviously misunderstood, as backed by the books of the Abrahamic faiths (heinous deeds which their pre-ancestors never did even when a true so-called witch was identified)

[quote author=A-HA]THEY JUST MURDERED THAT POOR WOMAN IN COLD BLOOD.[/quote]Just like the Europeans who supposedly brought us civilisations murdered hundreds of thousands of women accused for being witch or having pact with the devil.

[quote author=A-HA]THAT WAS HOW OUR FOREFATHERS SOLD THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS INTO SLAVERY FOR COMMON MIRROR,WHILE THEY WERE IN THE SHIP, THEY CURSED AFRICA[/quote]Due to the victor's re-written, black-condemning version of history books you might have read or told of, which you like many are programmed to regurgitate without bothering your lazy minds to find out what actually happened...I can say yeah, yeah you're right about your own FOREFATHERS selling their people for mirrors and clothing materials but not we the Yorubas because we already had mirrors (jigi) and clothes (aso=ankara, aso oke, agbada,etc)

[quote author=A-HA]WE ARE SEEING THE EFFECT NOW[/quote]The negative effect we're experiencing now in most of Africa is as a result of the continuous aftermath of the devastations stemming from dehumanizing slavery, mental slavery, colonialism, and the ongoing neo-colonialistic manipulation by Europians and Arabs insidious intrusions and presence.

comnsense: Thanks for replying to my post. However, where do you get this info on the gods? Did they reveal this to you? I was asking why all the claims about juju failed against the white man and thus looked false and you tell me about how the gods act - which is itself another claim for which you have no proof or evidence. This way, the gods stay defended whatsoever happens. And saying that the gods do not dance to the petty commands of humans runs entirely contrary to what juju is seen to be. Juju is basically seen as using the gods to act and effect something in a person's life and circumstance, generally, at will.

Comnsense, going through your post on NL, your views on what is supposedly meant by JUJU are just regurgitations ruminated through a western way of thinking, do your researches and you will understand why JUJU wasn't used against the colonialists and you need to know that Juju and the deities are two different subject.

pdidi: Does returning glory to GOD for what HE has done make one delusional?If you think it is not HIS handiwork,then let that be your problem-don't deride those who give HIM glory for what HE has done!

Yes it does, and how does one return glory to any of the unprovable abrahamic Gods? How did those who invented the so called holy books about the ways and happenings of a dated bronze age came about the gender of their unprovable God, for you and other delusionists to assume the unprovable God is a 'He'?

What of others who are equally if not more talented than him from pagan and atheist nations, are they less human worthy of the imaginary place religious delusionists call 'Hell' simply for not giving glory to a 'God'?

normaljenny: This is so wonderful. When you look at these cool stuffs you tend to believe that it every man/woman created of God, something special is installed by God in their lives.

I can't help but wonder the day this God delusion will cease to influence the thinking of most Nairaland commenters and religionists, imagine this too

Princess zoe: Initimacy in marriage must be done selflessly. The man should always compromise and same goes to the woman. If the man needs it, the woman should give in and if the woman gives reason for not having the strength or body language whether flimsy or not, the man should compromise and control himself. Selfishness drains peace, love and trust in marriages. The couple MUST be selfless for peace and genuine happiness to last in their marriage otherwise the two parties might even be cheating on themselves for different reasons without knowing it.

Regardless of your opinion, what will you do if you're a man and your wife consistently denies you?

Toluwarni: I just have one question, Have you ever seen YAS in action before

Firstly I don't see how your question relate to this challenge, secondly I have seen YASes in action before. And I have my indisputable reasons for terming them 'Yoruba Advanced Sciences', rather than the pejoratives: jaz, juju, voodoo, winch.

SLIDE waxie: I either fucck d maid or get an assistant-wife!

What if you and your wife employed an houseboy instead of maid, are you going to pounce on him when the heat is unbearable?

EatmyShorts: Jesus is Lord.

pleep: I think it is good that these languages go extinct... hopefully within a generation the number will reduce to maybe 10 or less.

What people have to realize is that language is not important, communication is. The excess languages in Africa are simply clutter that actuatually hinder effective communication more than help it.

Thus they serve no purpose and must be eliminated.

Does your wish include the major languages? Yoruba? Swahili? Igbo?

I strongly disagree with you

Here is parody on blood money ritual, which still doesn’t imply never yield or exists, as a matter of the fact, a lot of youths are being lured into as a shortcut of getting rich quick, it’s one of the evil aspect of our ancestral believe system resurged by the pandemic state of penury that afflicts lots of Nigerian/Yoruba youths, no matter what, not only should it be condemned by all well-meaning traditionalists and traditional activists, non-consequential alternatives which exists should be offered by Babalawos and Oniseguns to clients who come seeking for ‘ogun-owo’, but unfortunately, as it look like, many self-compromised Babalawos and Oniseguns who knows of this art, seems to be sadistic as portrayed in duration 7:56 and 9:33 of this funny video.

glen87: Please how can one reach you on how to meet the real priest to tell one the truth and how to know his destiny if he will be rich or not ansd steps one will follow to become rich without shed of blood or ritual

I don't want to be reached on how to meet any priest, I can only be reached for academic/intellectual discussion and advise relating to ancestral believe system. Secondly, it's wrong to focus on how to get rich or be worried about how to acquire wealth. According to Ifa teachings, it isn't everyone that is meant to be rich or stupendous. The irunmooles/orisha made humans on behalf of Olodumare who bestowed us each with optimum need, reach and limits in life.

lordizak: The truth is... We (some) african paren't are lady and stupid.. Why bring children into the world when You can't spend 40mins out of Ur free hours with them -to teach them Ur language?
You see, My Dad is Nigerian, My Mum a Ghanain. I was born in Cotonou, Benin Republic. Stayed a little in Togo and Ghana. I can speak.. French, Good British-English, Nigerian and Ghanian Pidgin (pidgin get grade). Ewe and afanti Ghana. fon, wheda and Whla Benin Republic and gayngbe togo.. Igbo (Asaba) language. Currently learning Hausa and Yoruba ( i don't know the correct spelling of d names of all those languages) . So I began to wonder Why some dumb folks. Born and breed in their home town can't speak their indiginous language. In my case i never learnt my Dads language Until I Was Age 12, that is because my Dad was a stranger (a polygamist) obviously spending time with my brenthens elswhere as at that time. Now, i can speak my language and the truth is... it was worthwhile.
In many cases, parents are to be blamed. Our languages are going extinct. Our names and those of our fathers are going extinct. For what Good reason should the African bear names as henry, beverly. Lorraine, jimmy. Kelvin? It all start from there? The next thing is you getting the name format - Goodluck Jonathan- we are no longer slaves. This problem is peculiar with Us africans.
The funniest thing is that most of this "white Nigerians" is that some of them can't even speak and write english as cool as folks like me. Those of them that fake accent can't juxtapose between American and British english. Our home videos is full of crap.
What can U and me teach people from the orient and arctic if not our own culture and language? Arise and save Our heritage. It does not stampede your out-growth..

You are so correct brother, I notice the same among us Yorubas which I can say, are the worst, Yoruba children of this age are undergoing massive mother tongue erosion, they can't speak their native language very well and yet they utter blunders in English, "I wi beat u", "I wonto goto america", they can't respond when asked in Yoruba what's their age or name, funny thing is, Yoruba parent are proud their children speak English.

This my attempt has gone bonkers, I tire for you all. My willingness is hereby dismissed.

Logicboy03: E be like say I suppose meet you with AK-47 make we see whether you go display all this yourIjaw juju nonsense

Mtchew, u don forget say I be warri boy?


When pipeline burst and exploded, Akpos, Tega, oritsewunmi fry like yellow garri we dem dey process....all dem jazz fall their hand.......fire no get enemy or friend......ye shall burn in the flames

Logicboy03 let's stay on course without digressing the objective, first of all, let me get you clearly, is it that you believe in the existence and efficacies of YAS but have weaknesses and loophole which they do, or that you just don't believe in any sort from both religious' Jesus walking on water to Africa's rendering of someone impervious to machete cut? I like to know your standpoint, because being an Ijaw boy and atheist doesn't really fit, unless you weren't born in Ijawlands, the first time I learned of such thing as what we all now call 'anti-bullet proof' juju/YAS/charm,etc was from an Ijaw individual whose back I saw was incised with several incisions narrating how they usually dive into water when they couldn't sustain the sting of bullets from attacking Nigerian soldiers when defending their homeland creeks. This is around 11 years ago. I am for academic and truth over claim, not threatening with AK-47s at the slightest nerve.

ijawkid: I don't need to take up the challenge because I knw these powers exist........the onus is on the atheists who claim that there isn't any supernatural or higher powers........

.........

The egbesu's in the Izon villages is enough evidence............

Let logicboy and his cohorts come out and take up the challenge,not me........

And logic boy is not more logical than me.......he's just stubborn......

He is not stubborn, he just trying to be rational, which I also do when disputing foreing religions in relation of how they destroyed Africa, but not on AFRICAN supernaturality, but you on the other hand clings to these foreign religions.

If you believe in the existence of African supernatural powers why then would you accept that of the foreign religions who have been proven and disputed to be false and fake?

Logicboy03: Agreed....let me test it on you

Do bullet-proof companies and military men who buy bullet-proof vests test the efficacies of it on themselves by shooting themselves, okay may be that watery, another instance...

Do motor companies use live humans to test the response of air-bags in their prototype vehicles, isn't it dummies and others use animals in medical field and every human use their drugs.

I am led to think you are all trying to dodge the challenge, because I wouldn't know why an animal shouldn't do.

Maybe I should suggest another YAS,

PalmTree: Do we really need to test the YAS using a goat or fowl?

Yes, to prove the efficacy of the YAS, it's either the goat or fowl dies which you win, or they just shake their body and live on, which we win.

PalmTree: If you are so sure of the YAS, I will take up the challenge (Name the PRICE)

Try and get this straight once and for all, in my still ongoing research in my various classification of YAS, the anti-bulltet YAS has a one basic underlying principle which is that, the YAS possessor mustn't go about seeking or defying clear present danger to prove his machoness, there are many sayings in Ifa that backs it up. Now let me ask you, won't it be foolhardy of you to go bear your body trunk against even a derringer because you're wearing a fully reinforced Kevlar vest? Yes or No?

[

PalmTree: and I'll test it on you.

So a science/chemistry teacher must pour H2SO4 (Hydrochloric acid) onto one of his pupils to differentiate and prove how corrosive it is from the diluted, non-corrosive ones because I do not understand how you intend to remain unconvinced seeing a YAS-wearing-goat/fowl still alive after been shot, for you to be insisting on a human guinea pig? Care to explain why?

abujalapdog: @Op what is the name of his gods please?

IRUNMOLEs and ORISHAs, difference between the two is quite complex to explain

Zither: How does one 'erect' a piece of carving, of wood or stone, endow it with the attributes of a deity, and 'worship' it? Traditional 'gods' are but a reminder of our ignorant past. Had the light of the Gospel not penetrated this part of our world, I shudder to think the ignoble things I would be doing with natural elements like wood, stone, iron...all to satisfy the ancient, traditional desire to have an object of worship and reverence...

Tell the same to the dragon-statue bowing Koreans and Japanese whose Samsung phones and other products you love to buy.

Logicboy03: lol....dont mind the foolish Jewish slaves.

But guy, I dont believe in your juju sha! oooo


Even if you get power, I can easily secretly hire another juju man to counter your jazz lol!!


All in all, I have challenged Ijawkid to bring his bulletproof Jazz so that we can test a gun on his forehead.

It is not my JUJU, I don't claim to have JUJU, but I am ready to procure certain JUJU for purpose of those who don't believe in the efficacies of Yoruba Advanced Sciences erroneously called JUJU. Why should for the purpose of testing anti-bullet YAS, one should aim the forehead, it's odd and stupid, because even the underlying principle of anti-bullet YAS is not to defy death/danger, it's meant to provide escape during danger while some versions are meant for fierce battle in ancient time were it can face incoming 'ota' (bullets), however, if you are willing to stake a substantial amount of money, I will procure a version of the numerous anti-bullet YAS and you need do is just to bring your videocamera, and a goat or native fowl for the test, accept? I am serious.
