OCTAVO: OP, Aboru boye ooo.

Aboru abo Si se

ghostofsparta: Another inherent problem about all types of Osholẹ is the fact that those whom it had worked for can't come out to attest to it just like
those who have attempted it and didn't work. You see. This will bring
us to the issue of understands that if it works

dahonestboss:

Why?

Simply because it is a shameful thing to talk about or be proud of, those who it has worked for can attest to it in our society because it is an indirect way of saying you have either taken the shortcut path to success or have committed murder. The same goes for those people who have tried it only to have failed them.

Billyonaire: The native doctors scam ignorant people into believing it and also make money from the sales of body parts. The moment the populace is educated against these ignorance, then the scam will be revealed and the killings will stop!

@bolded
The native doctors money ritual practitioners do not go about pasting posters advertising about the possibility of getting money in a shortcut manner, get it once and for all that, it is greedy, impatient, frustrated, desperate and hopeless people who cladenstinely patronises them for it. As a matter of fact, there are occasions were the client would be made aware about it consequence and repercussions but will still go insist on doing it, due to their desperation and long time financial frustration. A babalawo wouldn't suggest or do MR, rather he will first of all enquire about the root of whatever the client problem is, and I know cases of someone whom after whose horoscopic configuration Odu was revealed to, and asked to observe, began to miraculously prosper. In his case, it was that he should just be generous towarsa people and shouldn't certain food. That's all, there are so many of us who are ignorantly. doing, indulging, observing things that are against our spiritual makeup aka Odu hence the unfolding of our destinies is either altered, or delayed, or gradually erased. It only takes Ifa the ' a tun ori se' to adjust/retune our Ori.

ooman: As an atheist, I of course disagree with the existence of spirits whatsoever.

My response to the bolded ^:
I consider myself an A'theist (Aborisha Theist) while you, supposedly a Yoruba African think yourself an Atheist (those who don't subscribe to any sort of theistic assertions such as the believe in the existence of deities (God, gods and divinities), and also the disbelief in ridiculous claims unprovable by science such as miracles supernatural magic and the paranormal), if so, did you happen to watch a video sometimes ago wherein two fornicators were jujufiedly glued together? Can science provide an explanation to that? Don't tell me that penis captivus crap, can science provide an explanation to some element of people among us in Yorubaland and Igboland whose skin and body have been rendered impervious to bullets and machete cuts? Can science throw explanation to preternatural feats some deep-rooted Babalawos, Oniseguns and certain agbas (very old folks) in remote villages underdeveloped by government, all whom still possesses esoteric knowledge on how to vanish or become invisible, effectuate teleportations or walk through wall among several others? I know you won't believe and that's why I exist, because one day you all religious and scientific disbelievers in Nigeria and abroad will have nothing to say when you watch it on YouTube after reading my book either in form of a blog or paperback, I can't say for now but would be titled 'Why I Am Yet To Be An Atheist, Enter: Yoruba Advanced Sciences', and ofcourse it's also going to be published on Nairaland too.

ooman: As an atheist, I of course disagree with the existence of spirits whatsoever.

My response to the bolded ^:
I also don't like using the term spirit since a whole lot of people don't even understand the concept of what should be addressed as 'spirit', therefore let me enlighten you a bit so you will hopefully stop getting it twisted like them religionists do, before I continue, note that I want your mind removed from the kind of spirit the religionists refers to i.e. the human kind of spirit that the Bible always illustrate to be in need of redemption and salvation. The Christian spirit is a concept I find not only illogical ut also self-contradictory because, why should after death, one's spirit will be liberated from the same body whose mind was never aware of when the body was alive and conscious, only to chart it own path, also more confusing is it divine association with no other God but the Abrahamic God, I wonder if that could be said of the spirit of those that should be called murderapists many of whom can found at murderpedia.org...

...Without deviating further, let come back to the true concept of what a spirit is, Spirits are umastered energies, what do I mean by that, well I would explain it in detail in a book I am still researching and writing. But note that Sorcerers Arcanists from ancient cultures throughout the world especially those of the Yorubas have studied, understood and personified various forms of these hidden energies/forces, these super-intelligent humans mastered and enforced them with identities only to be summoned by the initiates belonging to various esoteric schools groups scattered around the world since time memorial. As I gradually take you to the realm of metaphysics, I want you to note that these forces are ONLY set to task by those who have truly mastered and can control them otherwise it will consume its wielder. It is some of these suspended personified forces that different folks from different parts of the world tend to call 'spirit' when experienced. Note that the concept of a ghost and the soul are completely different from 'spirit'. Think of spirits as energies/forces yet unknown to science just like the scientifically known forces maintaining the dynamics of an air-craft or the energies that are set to task in your USB flash-drive in the form electricity.

ooman: But as a yoruba person, I love and want to learn more about Ifa and other Yoruba Gods.

Why would a disbelieving Yoruba atheist want to waste his time learning about the Yoruba's Ifa and Gods Irunmoles /Orishas? Unless you wouldn't mind becoming like me, an A'theist (Supernaturalism - Religion x Science).

ooman: I must confess that I know more about the Jewish monster called yaweh and the Arabic vampire called Allah.

Sorry I am not a father confessor...

ooman: I disagree with the veracity of money ritual because it cannot be shown to logically be true without belief in some spirit system

Leaving the spirit system out of this for now, what do you actually mean? Is it that money ritual can't be performed or it isn't just true?

ooman: It involves frauds/death of one person for wealth of another, I know Eledumare to be a good God, He will not allow that.

Why are you just reiterating what I have explained already explained before, because I can't see any question here. Secondly, please be corrected about Eledumare/Olodumare because according, to Ifa; there's not odu that describe the sex of Olodumare/Eldedumare, it's even stated that no one, even the Irunmoles and Orishas have seen IT before, for it has no gender, it is only the Abrahamic God that has and is still continue to be addressed as a 'he' implying that their monotheistic God(Yawheh/Allah) is a male. According to Yoruba cosmogony, as repositoried in Ifa, all matters concerning morality, ethics, good and evil are left to 400 Irunmoles in their respective departments. Eledumare/Olodumare doesn't share the same moral dictatorship with the Abrahamic God, and also doesn't have a permanent adversary or any adversary at all, aside from the Irunmole Owo (money) whom according to Ifa defied Olodumare/Eledumare and was hence cursed to seek and be sought after by the same humans he proclaimed before Olodumare/Eledumare to more popular than, other than that, Eleduamre/Olodumare has no enemies, not even an approximate equivalent of the Abrahamic Satan the Devil.

ooman: Irumoles cannot be proven to exist.

What would you like to bet with? and it shall be proven to you that not only do they exist, they are everywhere to be harnessed and tapped by those who can.

ooman: Therefore, there is nothing like money rituals, only hard work pays.

You seem to be mixing things up big time, if you believe there's nothing like money ritual, fine, it's 4:21 AM now, drowsy and tired of typing over a slow connection, I have done my own bit by freely clarifying and explaining years of personal research and observation all in a bid to enlighten those who are confused about Bebe2's misleading topic of which, ever since it popped up on the front page, haven't slept properly, wasting my life trying not to convince you but inform you.

GOOD MORNING
Zzzzzzz!

RIP to Heath Leadger, the actor clapping below who died of hard-drug overdose from substance abuse #BloodMoneyPeople

- UNINTENDED RESPONSE WAS MISTAKENLY POSTED HERE -

Ogbeche77: Really insightful,though OP failed to address where the money ll come from after the severed human parts is given to the babalawo.

And why do you still deliberately ascribe Babalawos as the sole doer of Money Ritual when I have clarified that particular widespread assumption you seem unable to eradicate from your Nollywood brainwashed mindset? I even went as far as to carefully explain who Babalawos are, supposedly should be, differentiating them from the Oniseguns who are the main indulgers of this heinous act and yet decided to misuse the Yoruba term 'Babalawo' because you just like many think it is cool to spoil their name as the Nigerian churches are always fond of, the same churches attended by some people who have used isegun to acquire wealth, success, power, positions, etc only to hypocritically give credit to the semitic deities of the Abrahamic religions and appreciations in the siphoning form of tithes and offerings. Well done.

Another fact you need to know is that so called educated Yorubas and non-Yorubas who patronizes both the Babalawos and Oniseguns for various purposes do not know the differences between the two and care less in knowing. Also, Afas in Yorubaland are the equivalent of the Christian pastors and in certain respect Islamic spiritualists, however, and as a matter of the fact, there are many Oniseguns that some Yoruba people just call 'Afa' because they borrow certain Yoruba esoteric knowledge to be combined with Islamic mysticism (dud) in order to appeal to patronizing Yoruba muslim clients, the point is many of this Afas are the major driving force of Money Ritual in Yorubaland.

Ogbeche77: Is it through winning contracts never applied for?

Yes, there are Oguns (magic powers) that can be used to win contract or anything pertaining to negotiations, which is different from Money Rituals. There are Yawu boys and some deceptionists who use them too, but there's bound to be grave repercussion on the side of the users for whatever has been forced to yield must eventually equilibriumate. That is one of the laws of supernatural magic (which is different from trick/stage magic invented and practised mostly by whites for the purpose of amusement and entertainments)

Ogbeche77: Receiving credit alert on a daily basis from unknown source?

Would you believe such ridiculous claim? Well you could if you were offered by 419ers posed as Babalawos or Oniseguns with the aid of those types of Juju I classified under the Mayehuns. Despite the overwhelming powers of the jujus belonging to this class, they can be overcome depending on the strength at which your mind draws on reason and logic.

Ogbeche77: Customers quadrupling on a daily basis, if into buying and selling?

Despite your exaggeration, there are Juju such as the Aworos and the likes used to pull crowd, congregation, customers. They have their conditions and repercussions.

Ogbeche77: A head in the cupboard vomiting money as seen in Nollywood?

There's no damn head in any cupboard that vomits cash, is there no end to your Nollywood stylised thinking?

I know this may sound gross and grotesque but for the purpose of enlightenment those confused people on the other thread, what the severed head is used for depends on the type of Oshole involved., the human head is but one of other components needed for the preparation of the evil procedure. If you ask me to go into the methodological 'into-to' of how the money ritual is done, I'm sorry I do not know because I haven't done it before, will never indulge in it, and I'm certain my anti-scientific curiosity will never lead me there but I have this to say: If any white or African-American disbeliever happen to read all this and still doubts, I urge him/her to appeal to any of their several communities/society of debunkers, myth-busters, skeptics, atheists, rationalists, psycho-analysts, scientists and anti-paranormalist, to ask their government to grant a huge amount of money to the family of a convicted death-row prisoner awaiting execution in exchange for consenting to volunteer himself/herself for the verification of this money ritual thing in Yorubaland, after all their government invest heavily on science/tech research and development unlike ours who have endorsed corruption by perfecting the art of embezzling and laundering public funds and states money.

Ogbeche77: Pls OP try and address this, then I ll ask the next set of questions, seems you are really knowledgeable in IFA, I won't mind having a book myself

You also asked me to address where the money will come from. Where do you think the money will come from? Thin air? Forex? The mountain? The ethers? Ofcourse it's from the bank and wherever, whatever symbolises 'Owo' is manufactured or made massively. There are big and small companies that make hell of money, there are financial institutions including banks, insurance companies and even the central bank whose officials would be scratching their head over how certain huge amount of money can't be accounted for during their annual review or whatever it's termed.

It is 'Owo' the Oniseguns would command through the use of incantation specific to the particular Oshole in progress, some Oshole isn't about commanding Owo itself but of manipulating extreme forces yet unknown to science though collectively personified as 'awon emi ayiri' which means unseen entities, whose respective Yoruba names are known to the Onisegun practitioners who at specific time invokes/summons the entity associated with the Oshole involved through the chanting of powerful incantations specific to the Oshole in progress in order to be either commanded, tricked, blackmailed or manipulated to always go and search and deliver physical money wherever it is on behalf of the client when called upon (where the client would be taught the lock and unlocking code through recitation i.e. the few incantations to utter in order to operate it wherever it is kept in the house when in need of Owo (money)). There is another evil version belonging to the major ones where the name of the human used is somehow metaphysically impressed into the ritual procession wherein all the client need do at home whenever in need of money (Owo) is to visit the ritualised human juju at a given time and commands that name with learned incantation to fetch him/her physical money wherever it is. The two highlighted are not how all major Osholes are effectuated as there are various types of both minor and major Osholes with their respective configurations, rites and ofcourse deadly repercussions.

There are some minor Oshole types known by its Oniseguns where the ritual money seeker would be provided with the option of using a part of their physical body (thumbs, toes, strip of flesh) for the money ritual wherein the further it decomposes the higher their shot at acquiring money (some Yawu boys do these types), there is another minor one wherein animals such as tortoise and special but rare to find birds are used in the money ritual process, there are other minor types wherein powerful rings are specially prepared whose sole purpose is to render enchantment over a to-be-victim of any of the numerous online scam (some Yawu boys use this on their magas) the endgame is still to make money, which can be argued also as money ritual, there's another in which I don't know if I should consider it minor or major since it involves the ritual money seeking male to offer his 'fertility essence' in the form of semen in exchange for tremendous but time-limited wealth, there's another I also don't know where to classify it but which involves certain thing I haven't found out but with the condition that the ritual money seeker must spend completely all the money the entity fetches him that particular day otherwise he/she is done for, there are two variant of that particular type with an almost similar condition which is of not coming back home with any remainder of the money belonging to that which the entity brought forth, the other being unable to spend the money on people you know such as friends, family and relatives, there is another belonging to the major types renderable by those Oniseguns who knows about it, wherein the money ritual seeker would be checked, and if qualified by the required pre-condition, will be told he/she can't be rich since he/she isn't destined to be opulent unless they have someone he/she loves the most, (which he/she actually does have, being that the ori they choose from ajule-orun is to meet/be with their earth love partner) which has to be substituted for 'Owo'.

The underlying principle about Ogun Owo is the Ori, there was this married Ijebu man who had serious financial issues and eventually opted for MR, whether it was a minor or major type I wouldn't know but what happened was that the Oshole involved was in the form of an Ose (Yoruba word for soap) given to him by one of the many trial-and-error money rituals Oniseguns to be used whenever he wants to take his bath and instead of working for good became more impoverished, he stopped using it, his wife who wasn't aware about the sopa or what her husband had done began to use it, and since then on, different customers after buying provisions from her started giving her money without her asking, at times for no obvious reason, up to an extent some would just drive by and just dash her huge amounts of money after buying petty items from her, her husband noticed this and enquired from her only to discover that she's being using that soap, they both clung tighter to each other and became very rich. The point is about the 'Ori', some people's 'Eleda' didn't chose or include stupendous 'Owo' into their 'Ori' when coming from 'Ajule-Orun' to 'Aye', but while the 'Ori' of 95% of humans were optimally chosen for by various presiding eledas (Orishas and Irunmoles), most will unknowingly involve themselves in various Ewos (taboos) that delays their Eleda-given/Ori-chosen destinies including some of the remaining 5% who have chosen or preordained to be stupendously rich which is the case of that real life event about that husband whose destiny doesn't include being rich in his Ori make-up but whose wife it does and according to Ifa, there are some people whose Odu decodes that he/she is bound to excel or become rich only when the right life-partner is met, and to do this, provided the Ori hasn't being too damaged, one just need to 'Bo Ori' hence Ori laa ba bọ ka fi iwakuwa silẹ (We should instead charge our Ori rather than searching for shortcuts).

All in all, Ogun-owo aka money ritual is B arbaric A bysmal D estructive. Why? There was this fairly old man whom I pressed to disagree way back, that people who does money ritual are fools because I thought it was a ruse and he told me that he personally had an Ewọn (long chain) that whenever he wants needs money, all he needed to do early in the morning is to drag his Ewọn (juju) around the open compound before anyone wakes up, and that before that day is over, he must realise lots of money somehow, I was still very skeptical about his claim until when I asked how could that be possible and he revealed that he must have money due to the power of the juju chain but at the expense of his surrounding neighbors remaining seriously broke for some period, then I quickly remembered my pal who live close to that place who always complain to me about why he is unable to account for how he spent his salary and that he wasn't supposed to be penniless.

It's just pure evil and it does not worth it. Some do lure their friends into committing some of the minor Osholes, bearing in mind the consequence but will nevertheless do it because of so many reasons I consider unjustifiable, well it's true that 'Money is the root of all evil'. Another important thing to understand is that because a lot of people are not patient in this festering nation, especially most of us youths who want to live luxurious lifestyle, drive exotic cars, live in a mansion, or in short just want to satisfy a desire to spend, spend and spend money in clubs, at ladies, showing-off by lavishing, these are mostly the kinds who ends up at this short-cut avenue, without knowing whether if their 'ori' and 'eleda' carries such destiny, which in no time they agree to murder in the name of money ritual, driven by their uncontrolled lust for money such that they deprive other's from fulfilling their 'ori' destiny, enjoying life at the expense of others misery whose husband, sons, daughters, wife are reported missing or found mutilated thinking they they ought not to be a consequence.

What other questions do you have, and I hope they aren't Nollywood inspired?

@everyone who has commented, I have this to say:

98 of you all knows nothing about the African metaphysics. Worst of it all, it would have been better for those 95% to simply say "I Don't Know" rather than pretending to know something about especially by bringing foreign Abrahamic religion to the topic. Well, it shows that kids and the uninformed are the majority messing this otherwise great website. Nairaland should have been a place where when someone seeks an answer, those who know about it should explain but because every 1diot wants to say something because they think they know, the OP and the outside world of guests learns nothing. It's only the user 'pafo' that knows something, the rest are just religious butty dimwits.

@topic
First of all, the OP title is misleading, it is as if it was intended to debunk the subject. I would have asked the OP to scan through my past posts on various thread to understand from NY numerous thread my kind of approach in explaining things like this. I am not a theist nor an atheist. I think of my self as a truth -seeker using what I termed 'anti-science' to probe certain supernatural claims in areas science is definitely bound to fail.

I have created another thread to address your curiosity here: The Unvarnished Truth About Money Ritual

This is a respond to the topic: Debunking The Myth Of Money Ritual: Is It Real?

First of all, I clarify that I hold no absolute authority on the true nature of this subject. My submission so far is based on years of observations, trend, deductions, logic and my undying interest in African metaphysics and esoteric knowledge, specifically in what I have termed Yoruba Advanced Sciences erroneously known to many as Juju (a term of french origin).

The purpose of creating this thread is to enlighten those who don't know or are usually confused about what it is meant by 'Money Ritual'. This thread does not seek the opinion of those black Africans who ONLY judge and measure this world and it reality by the theology of Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).

Once again, who am I, well I am your regular Nigeria youth that you can come across with in the street or sit beside with on a molue bus sweating with the rest of the tired passengers heading home from a hard day work.

At a tender age, I have since dropped fantasy, fictions and comics stuff only to gradually delve my attention to seemingly mysterious stuff by fixing my mind and studies to whatever could shed illumination on disturbing and mind-boggling happenings whose nature and purpose for occurring is left to the native traditionalists known as the Babalawos who are completely different from the Oniṣeguns.

Money Ritual which is different from, is very often times used interchangeably with the term 'Blood Money' to confer the same meaning when actually they are completely different in meaning.


Blood Money:
Blood Money can be defined as any method of possessing money through means that either directly or indirectly involves the shedding of human blood. For instance those mafias in Europe and Russia, gangsters and kingpins in USA and drug lords in Latin world all whom are involve in illegal drug trade and trafficking, can be argued to be indulging in blood money because their wealth/money is tied to countless loss of lives. A hired gun, a mercenary, an hit-man, an assassin can all be said to be involve in Blood Money even an armed robber who has taken human life before in the process of acquiring money.

I hope with that cleared, I can now proceed to explain what is meant by Money Ritual.

Money Ritual
The Yoruba generic word for it is Ògun Ówó. Money Ritual can be accepted as the proper English translation of the word 'Ògun Òwó' which I can define as any supernatural means of acquiring whatever symbolizes Ówó money, through the application of certain arcane knowledge known only to the practitioners of a branch of iṣegun (Yoruba Esoteric Knowledge)

Esoteric refers to knowledge unavailable to everyone. For instance everyone knows how to boil Yam with water which makes it an Exoteric knowledge, however someone once proved to me that it is also possible to boil a Yam without the application of water, and he did it, now that's Esoteric. No, he insisted he wasn't going to teach me the procedure of how it was done and I respect that.

If Ogun Owo is the Yoruba generic word for Money Ritual, then you should know in Yoruba esoteric parlance, the technical word for it is Osholẹ.

Osholẹ as it is called among the Oniseguns (practitioners of Ogun (supernatural magic)), is a sub-branch of Isegun (craft of Ogun) that encompasses all the metaphysical knowledges of acquiring Owo in a shortcut manner. According to my very limited, uneasy and painful researches I have come to realise that the more effective the results of a type of Oshole is, the more it diabolic requirements and consequence.

A sound Babalawo (an Ifa priest/practitioner) knows more about isegun, their true nature, intricacies and repercussions, that's why a true Babalawo must and will never do Oshole for an asking client, since it is a direct violation of Ifa teaching and ethics. Only the Oniseguns are the ones doing it, and often times a self-compromised Babalawo.

It is a shame that many Yorubas as reflected on Nairaland carries enough knowledge about semitic cultures but knows very little or nothing about theirs just like the differences I have just explained above and many more about the nature, order, purpose and hierarchy of their traditionalists who are the keeper of their culture. Worst of it all are the so called Yoruba speaking movies, especially the mount zion flicks that demonises everything about the Yoruba traditions they do not understand. The Chinese have the Shoguns and Japanese the Samurais and yet never denigrates it just like the Europeans still celebrates 'head hunting'. Without deviating further, let us now unravel the efficacy of Money Ritual or Osholẹ.

First of all, Osholẹ is by no means recommended nor will it be recommended by an Ifa priest when consulting over an issue relating to lack of money or financial problems. There are better alternatives of no consequence proposed by the Ifa priest to a visiting consulter. However, since it takes an Onisegun or a corrupt Babalawo to do it, I'm afraid that it does truly exist and works but not in the way Nollywood and urban legend have exaggerated it. Let those who disbelief in it be informed.

There are minor types of Osholẹthat are prepared in the form of Ose and Aseje for the client to bath with, at times on specified days, these types are mostly to draw Aje (fortune/prospect), it progresses like that up, it's like a spectrum of grades. The higher up it goes, the dire the condition. The underlying problem with Osholẹ is that of all other branches of iseguns; that is they do not last long and for some that seem to, there always afflicted with various factors like; period of potency, conditions, precautions, warnings, renewal due to expiration, grave consequences and dire repercussions for those who offers it knows that nothing goes for nothing otherwise they themselves would have been richer than Bill Gates.

Another inherent problem about all types of Osholẹ is the fact that those whom it had worked for can't come out to attest to it just like those who have attempted it and didn't work. You see. This will bring us to the issue of understands that if it works

Money ritual aka Ogun Owo aka Osholẹ, in all its forms, versions and variety are one way or the other malevolent in the sense that, it is inherent with a drive that readily intoxicates it indulgers with a craving to always upgrading to the major ones for the uncontrolled love for money which makes it completely diabolical, selfish and evil. It takes someone who is either uncontented, impatient, greedy, desperate or frustrated to resort to money ritual, and the Oniseguns are ever available to render it.

According to an Ifa odu , it is sang that Owo (an irunmole) was the only one who ever challenged the Yoruba supreme God by placing itself before Olodumare as been more popular than Olodumare among humans for which Olodumare cursed Owo to forever seek and be sought after by the same humans that bestow Owo it fame. Till this day Owo is sought after by almost every humans and those who know the secrets of invoking Owo and its manipulatives are those I have been talking about since.

If a true Babalawo is consulted about money matters, just like any other matters such as child bearing, spiritual metaphysical protection, or just mere inquiry about the future, he must first check the consulter's[i]ori[/i] to know what it current configuration reads in respect to the consulted matter. Then, a sequence of rites commences, this is done to seek understanding and possible solution to the matter. In the case of having debilitating financial problems, it is from the consulter's ori an answer is provided. Ori in this context does not mean the physical head but one's eleda. According to Ifa teachings, it isn't everybody that is meant to be stupendously rich and wealthy. It is sang that everyone one of us before conception had chosen been opportuned to chose one out of the three types of destiny from ajule orun before manifesting into the physical world from the womb. Some people like Denlere have chosen that 'na thru madness me I won go take make my success' and so shall it be enforced by a particular irunmole whose name I can't remember now but always at the te between ajule-orun and ile aye (Earth).. For some they've chosen a destiny to be rich at a very young age by either being born into a wealthy family whose parent will open a far account for, or doing something that earns him/her steady wealth (Seun/Zukerberg/Walcott), and their others whose destiny is to make it at a late period (Fatai Rolling Dollar). But most importantly Ifa states: everyone is bound to be monetarily rich in a relative manner at some particular point in time in their designated life from ajule-orun, it is that time we don't know, that's why we ought to be patient and hardworking. It is that time a particular version of Oshole fastforward to, and bring all the money the partaker is meant to have, over a period of his/her future time, to the immediate now and spends because he/she couldn't bear being intimidate with cars and material things on campus. That would have being better since he/she would alone suffer gross penury in his/her future time being the limitation and consequence of that type, but as I said when the money is exhausted, he/she would start a journey of searching for another Onisegun who knows of another shortcut to acquire Owo until they reach those ones who knows one of the major types that demands the head of human that is destined to have money. It doesn't always play out like this, there are other major types of Oshole that require either oneself part or if providable that of others. Which is why they are corpses with missing body parts all over Nigeria. Eyes, tongues, breasts, genitals, fingers, livers, kidneys, hearts, legs, hands etc.

Some of you rationalists can be tempted to think it's all bullshit, trying to rationalise that those corpses whose body parts have been removed are done by those in the organ harvesting business crime. The answer is an emphatic NO!, I am not saying Nigeria haven't being experiencing the 'invasion of the body part snatchers' or there aren't those who voluntarily sell their kidneys to Malaysia agents/buyers, but still before them has being existing organised syndicate of people who make the same money we're talking about by severing and providing human body parts through kidnapping and abductions among several methods.

I have a friend who strongly believes that they shouldn't be call money ritualist but serial killers because he is unable to wrap his mind around why would someone kill another human only to sever the head off or cut some part(s) for the purpose of magically converting it to money or selling to those who indulge in such still beats him.

The shocking truth is that those who patronise this means are mostly Christians and Muslims, both their youths and adults and ofcourse in secret, for no traditionalist or what you like to call pagans will readily indulge in it for they no better. Believe it or not, Money Ritual is a reality and it is as real as Boko Haram.

There used to be those who are called Yahoo!(TM) Yawu Boys who used deception to dupe unsuspecting people over the internet. Ever since people, mostly whites have been enlightened to beware of their schemes, tricks and ploy, the game hasn't been the same for these Yawu boys whose purpose of existence is a reflection of our bad excuse for a country, as they couldn't standby and watch what they consider as their only means of survival, most gradually turned into the application of 'tibile' to aid their online careers by turning to the use of isegun in love/dating scams, phony business dealings, etc. Calling it Yawu Plus. The fallout of these metamorphosis is that a considerable lot of these Yawu Yawu Bois have and are getting railroaded into Money Rituals and now disguises their wealth and money as Yawu money.

Finally, there are lots of 419 con-artist who also disguises as Babalawo and Onisegun by presenting themselves as bona fide money ritualists for the unsuspecting sucker who is going to be asked to soil his/her hand in committing murder only to be further blackmailed to cough out more money or risk exposing his/her secret until he/she finds another gullible victim to be replaced with., thus generating an endless cycle where desperate money seekers are exploited and conned.

¤Ori:
It is the life force and path instructor that each and every humans is uniquely created of by our respective eleda.

¤Irunmoles:
Dateless primordial entities from ajule-orun or outer world. According to Ifa, were said to be 400 in numbers who were missioned in batches at various times to Ile-aye (Earth) by God (Olodumare/Eledumare).

Irunmoles which is a bit different from Orishas are both uniquely Yorubas and are not demons nor wraiths nor titans nor gods. Irunmoles are Irunmoles.
Irunmole (singular), Irunmoles (plural)

***This is a serious topic***

I was watching this really ANNOYING Nolly/Ghanywood movie on AIT, about one otherwise comfortable young husband whose very sexy wife kept denying of sex. It's keep getting worse despite all his polite attempts and overtures. She insisted she doesn't like to have sex and that her husbands only knows nothing but sex which is untrue according to the progression of the movie. Although this poor young man fought every attempt to patronize prostitutes twice, I think he was trying to obey his moral training probably stemming for a Christian background, whatever. But alas! NEPA did their thing as usual but this time it was is a favour since I wasn't bothered on how it was going to end. But the story kept me thinking in the dark. Personally, I don't think I subscribe to this social requirement i.e. having to do with this 'Wifey thing' but what would you rather do if someone you consider your wife denies you of sex continuously?

This is what I will do:
Personally, I for one used to self-service 4-5 times a day for 18 good years, I am saying that just to give an idea of how serious my libido is. And maybe I am somehow railroad into the matrimonial agreement of 'husband & wife' and she maliciously starts to deprive me of what I am privileged to, say for a week or two.



The day I am reacting is the day she's definitely packing out of that house that mid-night. My house or hers, it won't matter. And, say for one reason or the other I allowed her back in, with the expectation of her changing and she resumes the act, an act that will now be much more painful than burning in hell for eternity.

Let me hear your thoughts before I tell you how I will punish her sexually for making me regret the decision of allowing her back.

Don't get me wrong as I know some will tend to, this is not a thread about misogynists who relish in the suffering of females. Again...it's a thread asking what will you do as an husband if you find yourself in such dilemma.

Thanks for viewing.

Rgp92: Codependency bro, look it up. cba to write

Codepency ke? What does co-dependency have to do with some people who doesn't have enough but still manages to acquire stuff to impress others they considers inferior or loathworthy? What does codependency have to do with an artiste/athlete buying a $20million dollar ride to intimidate impress his/her haters, what does codependency have to do with our polithiefcians, sinators, legislooters, cumissioners and ministars buying multi-million Naira homes to impress the commoners they dislike? A top govt. official in our area is often seen driving a customised 2013 SUV to his home on a very horrible road laden with pot-holes, is it not only to oppress impress the downtrodden that surrounds his abode.

Maybe I don't get you sha

Again

Why Do We Buy Things We Dont Need With Money We Dont Have To Impress People We Dont Like?

It's a mystery

It is a culture unique to no race or tribe, every human do this

The question is why?

Reference: Reasonable people are not condemning these products and practices. The problem lies with standardization. When you want to sell to the public beyond the scope of origin you must subject those products and practices to the level of scrutiny of the recepients.

To me, I consider them standardized but what I think you meant is having them to conform to western standard, init?

Reference: In those days with a lower level of literacy certain things could be taken for granted, not now. I will liken it to the automibile industry in the seventies. The Japanese designed wonderful cars but the moment they were placed on the international market various countries demanded changes to suit their local peculiarities so today you have tropicalised cars, US specs, European specs, etc.

E ye fi owo osi ju we i le baba yin, you like millions of black African still hold on to the belief that our ancestors were illiterates. You have all being brainwashed with western misinformation. Note that literacy is the ability to read and write which I know for certain our people not only developed but also were the originator. Literacy is completely different from being educated. You are talking about automobiles which is different from indigenous herbal remedies, which brings us back to the topic; Let me ask you is it sensible to compare the Sushi or any native Japanese food with Amala & Ewedu? Both food are uniquely indigenous to the body and mind of the natives who originated and ingest it, but the moment one western-educated (which I am not against) black African professor start saying agbo Jedi/sepe doesn't fit any empirical standard, then there's bound to be this sort of debates. Let me give you another shocker, do you know that our African chewing stick is far better than the foreign tootbrush and paste? If you disagree, check here: https://www.nairaland.com/1020098/tooth-brush-vs-chewing-stick#11826231[/quote]

@topic
I like tatoos, both the laser and the UV ones especially placed in strategic areas of the body but having a tatoo inside the eye-lid as I have seen on Tatoo documentaries and magazines is extreme muchless of black-tooing the white of the eye which I consider masochistic.

And...

...Just so you may also know:

ancient Yorubas of Old, (not the mentally enslaved and religiously brainwashed ones of today) had long advanced the knowledge base of certain aspect of their native science by adapting the concept of tattooing* with certain aspect of their native science to yield realistic effect in their delve to master certain metaphysical purpose. An act which spread at a rate that is proportional to the abrogation of the metaphysical aspect but became a practice revamped by it new adopters over Africa that is now and still erroneously regarded by white scholars as Scarification.

*tatooing: it has both physical and spiritual metaphysical dimensions.
Physically: A tatoo is meant to inspire appeal and admiration. Basically, it's an artful expression of identity or glamour.

Metaphysically: it consciously involves having to do with what I call the logicum in order to bind pact(s) registered into the blood in exchange for certain energies in nature yet unknown to modern scientific discoveries. What I am talking about here is completely different from Physical one above, certain West African folks who aren't shy about and are in one way still into their ancestral belief system can be seen with what I'm talking about here which the Yorubas call gbere (incision) which from a foreign white man's point of view is either another form of tribal mark or scarification.

I hope I have been able to educate someone in our fast fading culture. Like this post if you feel informed by my response.

I strongly think this research findings, if true can only be inspired, as usual from the responding by venturing of foreign scientists into rumoured claims of certain persons in remote African villages were joy of remedy have been shared among some few who have consulted said herbalist who will never be credited.

Mortiple: I believe in the potency of Agbo (herb) whether it's for Jedi (pile), or any other health challenge. My fridge bears me witness. I don't even see myself stopping it soon. I need to stress that I don't take Agbo mixed with alcohol. However, many who condemn Agbo are re-echoing what your colonial masters have told you, hence you are either suffering from sheer ignorance or colonial mentality. Why would you condemn what you know nothing about.

For those who care to know, Agbo is natural and not synthetic, very effective and potent. Over-dosage is usually a rare occurrence.

By the way, Orthodox medicine manufacturers are entrepreneurs whose primary objective is to make profit. They may not want you to get cured permanently, so that your patronage would continue.

My people think!

My black brother may the Irunmoles bless you for your sound response. I don't know why our dudu people are readily inclined to always condemned anything ancestrally theirs as inferior and unscientific. One wonders why black Africans are nowhere today except neo-slaves to the rest or the world. Colonial mental slavery is more devastating than physical enslavement, if not I wonder why does the black man still hold on to rhe belief that their first parent is Adam & Eve, anything black is bad while white is God and good. They still think of their native science (Juju) as satanic and demonic just as the EuroArab slave masters defined it to be. Pagan Korea, China, Japan are adapting their nativity(pseudo-juju) to modern science since 40s while many hypocritical religionists are secretly applying the negative aspect of ours for their selfish interest and enriching themselves. Decades ago every one used to consume foreign alcohol while we enrich the foreigner's pockets at the detriment of ours fading into obscurity due to some useless laws, thank the gods for Taiye Solarin (an A'theist) whose brave act put an end to that silly law. Imagine today, our women and ladies unknowingly keep killing their male folks with too much of foreign Magi and Ajinamoto, and they are told what about our native equivalent they'll response with statement that mildly condemns the same Iru and Ogiri what their fore-fathers was ingesting to work the New World and begat them.

egoldman: Real soldiers dey mali , afghanistan and syria they fight as soldiers , this one dey form local champion with civilians he is being paid with their money to protect , animals in human skins

He (the soldier in the pic) shouldn't be singled out as the only forming what you call local champion. It is a norm in the forceful amalgamation called Nigeria to witness militaristic atrocities such as this which is nothing when compared to those I have seen. About 5years ago in one afternoon, I among other passengers in a commercial 'danfo' bus that slowed down to drop and carry other awaiting commuters were overwhelmed with shock to have seen Nigerian soldiers seeing to the proper completion of about 4 to 6 males who seem to have been ordered to roll down the busy express road, it is precisely that busy road were commuters tend to board buses bound for Ketu/Ojota/Mile12. And to my surprise, I was stunned to hear one of the new passengers who just entered to justify the soldiers' use of excessive force on those danfo drivers immediately an elderly man in the bus said in Yoruba that those are able men, husbands and fathers forced to risk their lives to serve as punishment, he further said in Yoruba that no matter what they had done, they don't deserved to treated as such.

Keep reloading bro, I'm still updating

Time, moving quickly as it always does at this time of the year, has left me in a bit of a daze. It barely feels like yesterday that 2012 was rolling around, and now 2013 is just around the corner; beckoning in yet another six month period where I will consistently fill out the year part of dates on forms incorrectly. 2013 won’t be all about mistaking the date though, as graphics and processing power are set to improve, as they always do with time. Whilst we get old and decay, PCs and consoles only get better, meaning that we’ll have some of the best looking games yet gracing our doorsteps in the coming months. We’ve lined up 25 of the best for your perusal.

Do you think that PC gaming is running away far from consoles in terms of technology? What games are you looking forward to in 2013?

http://gamingbolt.com/25-most-visually-appealing-games-of-2013

1. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sniper-ghost-warrior-2-16052-1920x1200.jpg
The first Sniper: Ghost Warrior had pretty decent visuals that were let down by sketchy gameplay. Now that its sequel is set to adopt Crytek's incredible CryEngine 3 though, we can only hope that both aspects of the game will be improved immensely.

2. Dead Space 2
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/games-217a.jpg
The original Dead Space games have been fantastic examples of how a little bit of visual polish can go a long way. With Dead Space 3 truly [i][/i]pushing the current generation of consoles to the limit, it's visuals are likely to make the horror all the more real.

3. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Raiden_Rising.jpg
The Metal Gear games have always been about the awesome visuals and, with Platinum Games heading the awesome looking spin-off, it's likely this tradition will be continued in a big way.

4. Bioshock Infinite
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/bioshock_infinite_2013_game-1440x900.jpg
Early trailers for Ken Levine's upcoming masterwork have been damn impressive but, whilst the game looks technically amazing, it's the fantastic artistic design of the Bioshock series that is the truly exciting aspect of this upcoming first person action adventure romp.

5. SimCity
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/simcity_618871b.jpg
Will Wright's management classic returns in 2013 and, whilst the series has never really been about the graphics, developer Maxis's decision to use the controversial GlassBox engine should add a whole new level of detail to the game.

6. God of War: Ascension
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ascension.jpg
The God of War series has never exactly been a slouch when it comes to graphics, and Ascension seems set to raise our expectations even higher. The multiplayer mode is also a nice inclusion too.

7. Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ws_StarCraft_2_Heart_of_the_Swarm_1280x800.jpg
The scale of the average RTS often excludes it from lists that focus on graphical excellence, but Blizzard's strategy classic makes it exempt from this usual categorisation. Though it's often more zoomed out than your average action game, Heart of the Swarm will still give the kind of detail you want on the Zerg forces to make it a shoe-in for best visuals of 2013.

8. Gears of War: Judgement
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/gears_of_war_judgement_wallpaper-1080p.jpg
Back in 2006, it was the graphics that first endeared us to Gears of War. I'm sure the innovative cover system and excessive amounts of gore had a decent hand in it, but it was the beautiful visuals that initially strike when starting up Gears of War for the first time. Things aren't too different today, and we await Judgement's 2013 release with great anticipation.

9. Dead Island: Riptide
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Riptide-12.jpg
Dead Island had a great scope with its vast open world island, but its technical flaws prevented it from being taken seriously as a AAA retail title. Returning in DLC form with Riptide, the Dead Island series will certainly be able to wow us with its visuals in a more cost effective package THIS YEAR.

10. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/amnesia.jpg
The original Amnesia was (and still remains) one of the scariest games ever made. Part of its awesome atmosphere was created through some absolutely crisp visuals, and we can only hope that the 2013 sequel will retain this absolute visual cacophany of terror.

11. Arma 3
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wallpaperarmaiii.jpg
2010 saw the dawn of Arma 2, and the PC FPS was changed for good. Arma's belligerent dedication to realism extended to its awesome graphics, and its legion of creative mods also shared these gorgeous visuals. We can only anticipate how Arma 3 will look based on this.

12. Battlefield 4
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/battlefield_3_jets-HD.jpg
Battlefield 3, in spite of its limited campaign, offered some outrageously good visuals. Admittedly, it only ran at 30 FPS but, with Battlefield 4 launching sometime next year, it seems like these kind of visuals could be on the horizon at a higher framerate.

13. Beyond: Two Souls
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Beyond-2-Souls-Wall.jpg
David Cage had a false start in the visual department with Fahrenheit, but my did he up his game for Heavy Rain. With Heavy Rain offering some of the best visuals for the time on PS3, Beyond seems like a decent contender for best graphics of 2013 already.

14. Company of Heroes 2
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/inofficial-coh2-wallpaper.jpg
Company of Heroes has one of the highest metacritic scores for an RTS title ever, and a part of this is certainly down to the production values. With a decent 7 years since the original, 2013 will be a good year for RTS fans with the dawn of COH2.

15. Crysis 3
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/2013_crysis_3-wide.jpg
It's Crysis. Little else needs to be said.

16. Grand Theft Auto 5
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/108586-grand-theft-auto-gta-v-wallpaper.jpg
Grand Theft Auto started out as a largely unambitious top down piece of 2D dirge that was held up by its shock factor. GTA3 turned things around massively, and in 2012 GTA5 is arguably the most anticipated title currently. Part of this is due to the visuals, which we know will be truly excellent.

17. Grid 2
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/screenshots-2155-4491.jpg
As someone who generally detests racing games, Grid wasn't exactly number one on my priorities list when it launched back in 2008. That said, the photorealistic visuals it sported won me over somewhat in the end, and in the same way I'm sure its 2013 will do the same to plenty of people when it launches next year.

18. The Last of Us
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/1680_1050_20120526121200927846.jpg
Naughty Dog were known for their tight platformers in generations past, but this generation has been all about the production values with their awesome Uncharted series. Now they're moving onto the post-apocalypse survival genre with the Last of Us, but it still looks every bit as good.

19. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lr_logo_black_rgb.jpg
Though the Final Fantasy continues to generate into a mere pastiche of its former excellence, it has kept the graphical fidelity that made it such a mainstay of the 32-bit era. Final Fantasy XIII was particular good to look at, so its return in 2013 is likely to attract our eyes, if not our hearts and minds.

20. Lost Planet 3
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lost-planet-3-screenshot-5.jpg
Lost Planet has been a series that just keeps on going. The first one was mediocre at best and, whilst the next one made a real stride in terms of visuals, it still had a few gemplay issues. Let's hope Lost Planet 3 can make yet another leap and fix the series myriad gameplay problems.

21.Metro: Last Light
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpapers_ru_Metro-2033-Last-Light-1.jpg
Metro 2033 was a hugely ambitious title that weaved epic production values into an incredibly personal bildungsroman narrative. That said, the all important stealth elements of the game were awful, so if Last Light can fix these bits whilst maintaining the graphical quality of the series, 2013 will be a mighty fine year.

[color=#000000]22. Remember Me[/color]
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/339291-2560x1600.jpg
Recently unveiled at this year's Gamescom a few months back, Remember Me turned a lot of heads with its cool memory altering mechanics. That said, its graphics were no slouch either, with a cool atmosphere and crisp animations adding an even greater flair to this already exciting looking new IP.

23. Star Wars 1313
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sw1313gamescomscreenshot-11.jpg
When the trailer for Star Wars 1313 came out at E3 in June, that was when most of us really began to see what next generation visuals would look like. Speculation still remains whether Star Wars 1313 will launch next year, or much later on a next generation console, but one thing is for sure: It looks damn good.

24. Watch Dogs
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/watchdogs4.jpg
This was the star of this year's E3 alongside Star Wars 1313. The visuals were stunning, with realistic facial movement, detailed environments and awesome rain effects like nothing we'd seen before. Add the cool hacking mechanics on top of that, and we have a real contender for game of the year in 2013.

25. Europa Universalis 4
https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Europa-Universalis-IV-preview-1.jpg
The Europa Universalis games have never been the flashiest or most in your face of RTS titles, but they've always done what they do incredibly well. Come 2013, they'll be doing their thing even better. Though EU4 might not have the same maximilist detail of competing titles, its smooth and slick looking interfaces are still mighty impressive. Bring on 2013!

Load of cobblers, complete garbage, I'm afraid.

The "original" Christmas date is unknown. The 6th January was, and still is, the feast of the Epiphany when the wise men came to visit Christ. The Church in Rome instituted Christmas to counter those who claimed that Christ was not really God made Man but only became Divine when he was older.

There is NO evidence that December 25th was any sort of pagan festival before Christians chose it for Christmas. You can find images of ancient Roman calendars from around the time of Christ. These show no festival on Dec 25th. There is NO record of any birth day for Mithras. Even the supposed "Natalis Invicti" feast day is dubious and, if it existed at all, came after Christmas started, Romans did not celebrate the Solstice - their festival around that time (Dec 17th), Saturnalia, was a harvest festival.

The Feast of the Resurrection, Easter in English, was celebrated by the church from its earliest days. There are records of Easter services from the 2nd century. There was a debate in the church about which day to celebrate which settled on the Sunday after Passover - Sunday being already know as "The Lord's Day". Because of its link to Passover, the feast was named the Christian Passover - Pascha in Latin (in modern times Pascua in Spanish, Paques in French and so on).

Over 400 years later, Christianity reached the Anglo-Saxons, they were taught about the Paschal Season which happened to coincide with their month of Eosturmonath. The ordinary people therefore translated Pascha as Eostur, later Easter, though the church, which used Latin, continued to call it Pascha until the reformation.

The early English writer Bede speculated that Eosturmonath had, many years earlier, been named after a goddess Eostre whose worship had died out. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing else is known about this supposed Goddess. She appears in NO anglo-saxon myths or legends, she has NO known feast day, she has NO known temple or site, NO known dedication.. Modern scholars have concluded that she was probably made up by Bede to explain the month name and was never actually a goddess at all.
