@Debongida, that was a well deserved compliment, because last time I checked, your clansmen were dancing upside down, buck naked in the rain forests of Ndwandwe- - -


Busta deserves an Ogbomosho hunk like me. The beautiful picture of moi in my profile speaks volumes

If Busta wants a yoruba man, I am right here. - - - Busta, forget about the gworo crunching Alhaji Debongida for, grafikdon (real name Adeyemi) is the sugar in your tea and the match that lights your mrijuana (if you're into that stuff).

Denigrate what? An already denigrated Nigeria?

It's like sinking a sunken ship- - -

Lol. . . this is one heck of a hilarious thread. . . Alhaji Usman Dan I-Marudeen. . . l o freaking loud.

So who won the 'bridettle'? Usman Dan Imarudeen, Umaru Davideen or Mustapha Debongida?

Apology Chief Sijien, I came across that on another web board. It was written by one Ozodi Thomas Osuji.

Check the expiration date on your marijuana, that might help.

Amadioha Technology is not a myth but when you combine it with Sango Technology (Amadiango Technology) come and see wonders

Behold, Eve Ijebu and Adam Arochukwu have children that look like Tom cruise, Osama Bin Laden, Kofi Anan, Jet-Li and girls like Nicole Kidman, Genevieve Nnaji and Lucy Liu . . .they multiplied and duplicated. . . although we were not told who they married or where their wives/husbands came from (Bear in mind Ijebu and Arochukwu frowned on marriage between brudas and sistas). . .

We will delve later into that big glitch in Amadiango Technology

nikke:
poster i don't get you.what are you trying to do, make jest of Jesus or what and mind you who ever that posted that pics that looks like devil should remove it thats not Jesus.

Are you kidding me? So you are one of those who believe in the long haired, beautiful, blue eyed, blond Jesus while the Satan is the fugly ass black man with horns? Please, check the expiration date on your marijuana.

If I did misinterpret your post, I bow down my head in shame and humble apology, and I am willing to receive without complaint, your well administered verbal/typographical ass whuppin'.

Take a look at a typical bearded Middle Eastern man and you will have a good idea of what the physical vessel of Jesus looked like. Enough of the black and white Jesus. Sure his physical appearance is insignificant, sure I don't care if anyone shows me Jesus Christ of Sokoto or Jesus of Okija, we should remember that calling a spade a carrot may not be a sin/crime, but it is WRONG.

Leonardo Davinci painted a handsome bearded Italian Jesus, so did Michaelangelo, though Angelo's version is more macho. Rembrandt van Rijn painted a bearded Dutch Jesus while Eugene Delacroix painted a French Jesus. . . but they were all wrong, dead wrong. I admire their renditions nevertheless.

Ndipe:
Wendymanda, go and read your history books of the exploits organized by rulers of ancient kingdoms of Africa, prior to colonialism.

And the ancient rulers of Europe were dancing Atilogwu before their 'people', handing out lollipops and candy canes? If you believe our ancestors had only 'Gods of stick and stones' to offer, you are either dishonest or you read about the history of your people solely from books written by 'Missionaries'. Even 'Anini' was not 100% evil.

Resident Evil in 3D I gotta check it out!

Yes, I have seen Apocalypto several times and I still hold my opinion that our ancestors had more to offer than just 'gods of sticks and stones'. Despite the similarities in the African culture (especially West Africa) what is obtainable from one section does not apply to every nook and cranny of Africa, especially the issue of human sacrifice. I could go into details but that will derail the thread, let's reserve that for another thread.

I'd like to make it clear that my answer to the thread is YES and NO. The bottom line is to put the pros of Colonialism to GOOD use (we are yet to do that after how long, 47 yrs?)

Ndipe:
grafikdon, how was Achebe able to disprove the beliefs upheld by some Non Africans that our certain parts of Africa, like Nigeria were governed by gods of sticks and woods? His book, Things Fall Apart, only underscores the belief. If I was a foreigner and read that book, honestly, one would realize that the advent of the Europeans which ushered in Christianity was a BLESSING to us!.

You didn't quote me right, not at all. In an interview, Achebe said among other things he wanted to point out we were not a bunch of lawless barbarians as perceived by outsiders who have little or no understanding of the African culture. I did suspect he wanted to convey that message, 'among other things', but hearing it from the horse's mouth sealed the deal for me.

Ndipe:
Read the death of Ikemefuna, because the oracle decreed so. As fictional as he is, this sort of tragedy was becoming in our society, pre-colonial times. Colonialism, by bringing in Christianity erased our fears of this idols that our forefathers had reverred. Thank God!

I don't have to read anything to know about the culture of my people. I have unlimited access to the so called 'Dibias' 'heathens' and 'traditionalists' and I get my information from them. I studied without prejudice both the pros and the cons, delved into areas where most people dare just to satisfy my curiosity and I was amazed at what I came up with. It's nice to know you're happy that Christianity brought you the knowledge of God, I am happy for you, but in my own case, it brought a new religion, and definitely not the knowledge of God. On a second note, our ancestors had a lot to offer, not just 'gods of sticks and stones'.

If we go strictly and literally by the Biblical (and the Quran) requirement for entrance into Heaven, I can assure you that NO SINGLE SOUL WILL SMELL THAT HEAVEN, we all gonna be barbecued in hell, all the 8 billion of us, no EXCEPTION.

1. You're always under pressure to be a role model (self imposed pressure, that is).

2. You keep a safe distance from girls because you don't want the younger soldiers to start eating the apple of Eve before their jaws are strong enough for the process.

3. You smile like an slowpoke caught red handed with his hand deep down in the pot of soup when one of the younger soldiers 'catches' you walking hand in hand with a girl in the park.

4. Your eyes pop out outta the sockets when you eventually realize the young soldiers are well knowledgeable in the 'affairs of the world', without your 'help'.

No Nuclear power for Third World countries. End of Story.

Chei! My people you're all very good comedians. This is pretty much like spraying air freshener to kill the stench of poop instead of flushing the friggin' toilet. . . Wazobia ko Osanobua ni.

was it what your warrior king father used to defeat the british?

Yes oooo. . . the man held the British at bay with Amadioha Technology for twenty years. . .but somehow (Not sure what he smoked, paw paw leaves perhaps), he changed his name from Agwoturumbe to Nathaniel and lost the battle. . . he received the ass whuppin' of his life from Oyibo man

@ Ndipe, I don't think you have a good understanding of Our lord Jesus, seeing that you referred to him as the 'ONLY mediator'. Aren't you complicating the concept of the Trinity? Or are you one of those who think the Trinity is hogwash? Oh well, that is another topic for another day.

Achebe did not try to 'expose' the beliefs of our ancestors, that's far from it. He wanted to correct the erroneous conceptions we were barbarians living in chaos and darkness until the Christians 'liberated' the 'dirty, mindless barbarians' from the power of 'darkness' and 'gods of stones and stick'. Many got the message, many didn't but Achebe threw more light on the issue and it became more obvious.

LoverBwoy:
so the census has been cancelled? or there will be a recount abi what exactly is the significance of this boycott?They want more money?
or maybe we will stick with the 1991 census until google tells us how many we are

We wait for the Nigeria1 impeccable Amadioha satellite to scan our land and tell us how many we are, based on land mark and how many buildings you can fit in a state. . . not minding you can't figure out the amount of floors in a building from Nigeria1 satellite angle. . .

Here goes. . . yes I know, it's wikipedia but I find it interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah

Here's another one from a 'non wikipedia' site. . .

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1942910/posts

A Catholic newspaper in Malaysia asked to drop the use of Allah in order to renew their publishing license. I find it totally absurd that human beings will dictate what the Almighty should be called. Does that mean I am required to use the term 'God' instead of 'Chukwu/Chineke' when I pray in Igbo? Religion (especially Christianity and Islam) can be painfully depressing sometimes. So much misconceptions and superficial followers.

EmekaNaija:
@Afrocynic

Maybe you still do not understand my point. MASSOB agitating for Biafra cannot re-write history. MASSOB or Igbo agitation for Biafra still does not change the simple historic fact that Biafra as known in 1967 was the whole of former Eastern Nigeria. Biafra was led by Ojukwu - fact. Effiong (a non-Igbo) was 2nd in command - fact. I careless about more recent events. No matter how we try, one cannot change the past.

Biafra is long dead now but its ghost could still hunt us if its not buried properly.

And that, my friend, is the bottom line.

I will go with Hunchback

Isn't Allah the Arabic word for God? Allah, Chukwu, Yaweh, Abasi, God. . . same ol' same ol'. . . or are we saying that God is an English man and we should all address him solely in his 'English' name? We have every right to call unto him in any language and we don't necessarily have to use the term 'God'.

Somebody looks at Naruto and belives it is BETTER than Death Note? say what? Oh well, I guess we all have our preferences. . .heck, Samurai 7 is better than Naruto and Death Note beats both Naruto and Samurai 7. Btw, Anyone seen Samurai 7? Wow! I watched the entire 26 episodes in just three days and that was another eye popper. I didn't pay much attention to it since i am easily turned off by mech and giant robot stuff but the moment I watched a couple of episodes. . .wow! I have never seen a perfect blend of humour, action and romance. . . wow! Still like Death Note more though

The guy is right, English is our native language. The most populous tribe in Nigeria is Oyibo (90% of the population) so other minority migrant tribes like Igbo and Yoruba had no choice but to blend in and flow with English, the language of the Oyibo tribe.

Na real wa for WAEC o. . .

It was horrible in so many ways and good in a few ways. Horrible because most of us have been brainwashed into believing our ancestors had NOTHING to offer but SATAN and JUJU. Most of us have been brainwashed to accept we were lawless barbarians with no civilization until 'they' showed us the 'light'. Most of us (I believe 80%) were led to believe we had no knowledge of God, especially the Christians and that erroneous concept has not changed.

I love it for one reason though; many of us don't know this but the British smashed Islamic Jihad and put it in check! I don't believe in spreading religion by force, heck I am not religious at all, so I will ever be grateful to the British for that act.
