I look at you and all I see is a wandering and lost soul. Africa is indeed a land filled with Primitive, Barbaric and gentile people and you a natural case study.

I got nothing to do With ur talk with pagan. But you calling a fellow african blood gentile struck me. With a smile tho!

The first african country to become developed will be the least religious with an advanced cultural system.

U. Get me wrong. I said I will watch it because now I'd not conducive. I have book marked it already. Believe me I know a lot about this neo coloniasm . I tell you. If you want to defeat it. It starts from within. You are already. Ethnically, culturally and religiously marginalized .. So it going. To be easy for imperialist. If you think its. Only them. Wait for india Brazil and china to put finishing touches. Wake up. Having said that I need urr comment. On. My previous post

PAGAN9JA:
its a shame.

those french troops i talked about were supported by the Fulani Caliphate of Sokoto as a jihad against Pagans.

Nigerians were never united . Many saw the colonists as allies. On wat basis are these animals blaming the religion of dia forefathers for our colonial subjugation?

I call. It intellectual inferiority. Its a bllack. Problem. And we have not Thought of solving it.

PAGAN9JA:
na soo...also Hausa Priestess-Queen of the Azna Pagans , Sarrounia Mangou who put up a tough resistance against the French, though losing the first battle she and her fighters and engaged the attackers in a protracted guerrilla battle which eventually forced the army of 600 French troops to abandon their project of subduing Lougou.

Its funny that not one of this stories are thought in schools or shown as documentaries or cartoons. Not one!

PAGAN9JA:
THere are also stories of much smaller less-known kingdoms and Tribal Chiefdoms defeating trained colonial forces .

Like the benin amazons. Even britian gave credit to the Fighters ,but they received nothing from their own people till today

PAGAN9JA:
1) The US army is an unbeliever force.

2) Nigeria never unitedly fought any independence struggle. Many Nigerians were aiding the british and saw it as just another conquering empire/tribe.

Same thing to other great african empires. Else the likes of the ashanti would. Have continued defeating the british. History only tells of When The british defeated them

jantavanta:
Japan manufactures satellites and they have their ancestral shrines because technological independence is from cultural Independence.

Europeans ventured into space only after they went around the world to get the idea and means from other people they succeeded in colonising.

Read about the Vimanas.

am still confuse about your gender,your juju ideology confirms masculine nature.

Well u Have A Point

obstead200:
walahi,
After reading her write up I quickly went to view her profile to ensure she is sane and actually human. Na wa ooo.
She actually reminds me of someone I dated long ago(I mean her mentality ooo) na race I take leave d chic.

Anyway different strokes for ...............

U think she is insane because she does not conform to your type of thinking. What if you are insane too?

tit:
do not be rude.
the problem we are having in the army is the chief of army staff.
for some time now, the chief do not do juju.
the last chief that do juju and give the formations is dambazu.
when abacha was chief, he will do juju and give the formations.
that way, when they boys move, they do not look back.

even malu organize do strong juju.
by that time, who no fear nigeria army?
everybody get the same juju.
confidence go high.
no be like now whey everybody dey do different different juju.

the problem is since they put that eebo man,
he refuse to do juju for the boys.
that is why there is low morals.

and the new man has refused to renew the juju of nigeria army.
maybe he does not want to use the juju the army has been using since.
he wants to use new juju: egbesu.
maybe the medicine man no gree comot from water since.
you know ijaw people leave in water.

things will not get better till they appoint a strong juju man as chief of army staff.
you have to belief.
juju is belief. it is not superstition.
it is very bad.
i just pray for my oga head.

Hey there, how u doing? Seen you on Here for a while now, but you really caught my attention yesterday when you talked about the jazz stuffs.. You went really deep and I respect you. You are A virtuous woman . This is the type of woman ,men need beside them and not some fast food girl that does not know the. Happenings of this World and just want everything rosy. May God keep. Your husband safe for you and. Your children. And may the war end soon with nigeria as the victor.

Btw

Its funny that some people do not know this baba , but at the mention of juju. They just hate him and wish him dead to prove your thoughts right, what's the difference between you and the pharisees of old??.. We saw some weeks back the gallant hunters that gave a death blow to the insurgents that they fought with. Everyone congratulated them. Even so called christains and muslims that claim they want peace.it was that jazz that you look as evil that they used. They put their lives in The line . Its not like because they have some mystic powers. They are no more humans?! They Cry, laugh, fear and have blood in their viens. they have a family that they need to feed. Yet you still hate them cos they don't belong to your religion. and your religion indirectly breeds racists. instead of government to train this guys and equip them. They prefer to send money to the accounts of pastors and bishops that u look @ with high esteem to pray. Clerics that when they have issues they Go to the same hell hole that they criticize For help and power. Hypocrites!! What happened to All your fire and brimstone prayers. All your bowing down .. The problem has only increased . Now we have men of Valor. Coming Out to help yet you don't respect them. Blacks are really brainwashed. Inasmuch as we all believe in a true God. Wars are Won by the. Daring decisions been made. Its a jungle and there is no room for the soft.

u just made me realize dat common sense ain't common at all!!!!!!wen I said johnny mad dog,can't u just undstnd dat its lyk a compilation of films wid d same attributes?or must I start mentioning jamaican films b4 ur brain grabscontinue shaking ya head,just make sure it doesn't fall off!!!!!

Its very simple. Learn how to put your sentences clear!!!!
What u say now is totally different from what u wrote. If that's what u meant uu would have put it another Way btw. Nigeria is by far badder than jamaica

GenBuhari:
Who wrote the Guiness book of records were they not the same countries running the IMF and World Bank that was trying to ruin Nigeria by offer Abacha their ruinous loans which he rejected?.

Open your eyes and see what is going on.

IMF and World Bank are tools of neo-colonialism.

please watch this video

Well in my spare time I will watch it.
Our elders say that the thing that is eating the tree is inside the tree. Am not saying that neocoloniasm is non existent ,but not everything is from them. Infact we as blacks help to make their plans get fulfilled. I see how you hail abacha. Because of he stood against western powers. Because of that u look above all his other Deeds and score him a green card. I tell you. He did not stand against any neo colonial bullsht . He has always been a tryant that he is. just like his co horts eyeadma and idi amin. There are also blacks in the world records books known for good things so don't try to sound like its a racial thing. Did clinton not have ties to abacha? Did shell and uk not pressure him to do away with saro wiwa. ? Is that not neo coloniasm played there? Why didn't he Refuse.. Cos he is all about his business and does not send nigerians, he sure does knows what is good for business and knows how to play by the nigerians side and gullible freedom fighters. ..now I get it that a people deserve the people that rule them. U look at abacha and obama. Abacha looks more stern, stronger, and richer. Of course even in a fist fight am sure he will beat obama to a pulp. But what obama can do to nigeria will put him, his family and you all on your knees. Why is that so.? In this generation we need less of powerful people and more powerful systems. its not always about mouth or gragra , but knowing the art of organized violence. So in that case abacha in the end, is the fulish leader. if he did not die by the prostitute . He will die by the gun or one way or the other cos a lot of people were cooking his downfall. If he built a powerful system. Am sure he. Will be alive. And Nigeria will be a safer place.

macof:
ATR? Is there really ATR?
I see it more as African Spiritualities cus if u really get to understand the philosophies u realize it's nt a religion

you probably mixing traditions and culture to it..hence "traditional religion“

When I talk of atr. I mean ifa and co. We need to picture what the future will be like . And we have to shape it. For me I want to see the atr practitioners as I would call it. Use their gifts in medical science,astronomy and innovations.. Be masters of the art. Just like we have in india . The likes of soyinka have done it in the literary sector

macof:
Beautiful most of West Africa should use this form of alphabet, it should be well developed to fit in with different accent and tonal variations, but I don't see this possible.
Everybody seems too sired to Europeans and Arabs

True Talk
My question is this. If they can revamp and reform this ancient writhing. Why can't we do the same for atr?

MissMeiya:
I want to see comics and movies with Mami Water and Sango!

No, I'm not Igbo. I don't remember how I tumbled into Nsibidi. I usually get led into new subjects from wondering about something else. Wikipedia and Google are the best things that ever happened to me. No exaggeration.

Nice! You are a wild thinker just like me! Got a lot of plans. Will like to see the sango character make it into the marvel comics and movies too. And bring out other african stories , with black emancipation and by as the ultimate Goal. Will like to work with you in the near future!

MissMeiya:
LOL. I listened to you, see?

Re: Anansi, I was just looking for a project to experiment with. And Anansi is West African, so

Well am glad u did! The anansi is a ghanaian folklore. A story that has always sparked my interest. I will like to make a block buster movie on it. With the immortals and alice in wonderland movie theme style.
Btw. I. Read in another post that u are not igbo.where are u From. And what sparked the zeal to know such?

* Wher do you work and what do you do presently.

Don't mind my 'plenty' questions just impressed by your knowledge, works and that has made me curious

I have noticed her on here and can see she is smart.. She's definitely not following the crowd mentality

KingMeezy:
Ghana...valley view university or ashesi university

Hmm.. They are both good schools!!!

LordReed:
This script looks so complicated. To learn the logical flow of it's writing looks like it will require years to master. MissMeiya how long did it take you to learn how to write it?

It looks similar to the chinese. If its implemented. In the coming generations. Everyone will speak and write if fluently

MissMeiya:
Inspired by the Hausa Ajami vs. Latin alphabet thread. Someone mentioned Nsibidi and it reminded me of this project...


From Wikipedia:

"Nsibidi (also known as nsibiri, nchibiddi or nchibiddy) is a system of symbols indigenous to what is now southeastern Nigeria that is apparently an ideographic script, though there have been suggestions that it includes logographic elements. The symbols are at least several centuries old: Early forms appeared on excavated pottery as well as what are most likely ceramic stools and headrests from the Calabar region, with a range of dates from 400 to 1400 CE.

Aspects of colonisation such as Western education and Christian doctrine drastically reduced the number of nsibidi-literate people, leaving members of the Ekpe leopard secret society (also known as Ngbe or Egbo), as some of the last literate in the symbols. Nsibidi was and is still a means of transmitting Ekpe symbolism. Nsibidi was transported to Cuba and Haiti via the Atlantic slave trade, where it developed into the anaforuana and veve symbols, respectively."

From the Nsibiri Project:

"The mission of the Nsibiri Project ('nsibiri' is the Igbo variation of nsibidi) is to record and appropriate nsibidi ideographic symbols for a writing system to be used by the Igbo language and Cross River languages such as Efik, Ibibio and Ejagham. This is being done by transitioning nsibidi into a morphographic script. Nsibidi is also meant to inspire and encourage learning of the languages it will be used in.

Why not just the current ọ́nwụ́ script?
I don't know about you, but I know quite a few fluent Igbo speakers that have trouble reading a sentence in the ọ́nwụ́ Latin-derived alphabet. If you give an average Igbo speaker a novel in Igbo, even with all the diacritics in place, they will not be able to read it as fluently as an English speaker reading an English book. The problem, for Latin, is that Igbo is a tonal language and it has limited grapheme's (symbols) to represent the many different tones, phonemes (sounds) and syllables that Igbo utilises. Latin was never made for Igbo, it was there for the convenience.

Chinese, and some other tonal languages are read by billions of people with logographic writing systems. To a certain extent, Igbo/Ibibio was using some logographic symbols. Logographic symbols do not require you to pronounce individual parts of a word, but, rather, to identify the word as a whole which is important in languages with lots of homophones (where multiple words have the same sound). Ákwà, Àkwá, Ákwá are popular examples of Igbo tonality. Let's not forget the issue of Igbo language dialectal intelligibility and Standard Igbo; nsibidi could almost provide a solution to the issue of Igbo literature being unintelligible to certain Igbo languages, and the perceived bias towards certain languages by leaving open the pronunciation and variation of certain words and their tones. Nsibidi also cuts down words/sentences in Igbo, or those new/translated words that are actually sentences and that cannot be understood in one word using the Latin alphabet.

With a logographic script, backed by a simpler yet relevant syllabary (now alphabet) derived from the design of nsibidi, Igbo writing can go places that it may have never gone before."

A very good read here.. I hope those that have lost their roots and look down on africa are taking note.
