aremuforlife:I will like you to give honest answers to the following questions 1) why does Ogun take delight in human sacrifice? 2) why do babalawos respect witches and praise them,despite knowing the evils they had committed, witches are malevolent spirits that causes pains and sorrow, so how will olodumare which you view in your context as the supreme God ordain such beings on humans. Then I will like to correct a misinformation from you,you said Christianity contains secrets too and you made example of the Crusaders,well I think you are very wrong,the crusade is no secret, it was a religious war that was declared by the Latin church against invading Muslims who are trying to conquer Jerusalem after the Western Roman empire had been weakened by the invading Goths and Hun's. Crusade was a war of Christian survival not a war of aggression such as the Muslim jihad,or a war of expansion. There is no secret in Christianity, you want to know anything, you go consult your Bible, anything outside the Bible that is taking as doctrine is called heresy . |
oloyedprince1:thanks bro for the comment, I will try to drop an update soon. |
divinelypruned:thanks miss,i missed your comment |
[quote author=Fahdiga post=97877954]Most of the villages in Igbo land looks like cities in Yoruba land [/quothe]here comes the tribal conscious ones,always comparing |
I have some contrary opinion to your prepositions. 1) Jesus is not a Greek God, nor was he a human creation, the Jews bear testimony to his existence, likewise the Greeks, the Romans,the Arabs and all civilized institutions, so nobody can actually come out with bold excuse to deny his being. 2) Christianity is not a white man religion, it is the religion of humanity, Jesus said" go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations ", Matthew 28:19, Jesus never said of white nation, he said of all nation, irrespective of their color or race. Mind you Christianity never developed from the west,it origin was from Palestine. Black people in their quest to break free from slavery ,denied everything about their master including the religion, they find only a racial solace in African indigenous religion. 3) IFA is not perfect, Africans practices IFA with devotion but still they lack the real essence of humanity which is love,Africans practiced IFA but still they sold their brothers to slavery, they practiced IFA but still they support human sacrifices ( mind you, babalawos do not deny human sacrifice so be informed, they do it,but now that civilization has come,they couldn't come out to do it openly again) but the same whites were those who fought for the abolishment of slave trade, the American civil war was as a result of slave trade,people who fought for the abolition included a lot of white politicians and people, why were they ready to sacrifice their live to stop slave trade? Because, they knew Christianity was against it. 4) IFA support demonic possession and witch craft. Every IFA priest or babalawo reverenced and fear the witches,in fact they call the witches, eyin Iya" which means" our mothers" babalawos works hand to hand with witches,not only that,demonic possession is an obvious thing in IFA,remember shango olukoso who was possesses by jakuta the fire breathing demon,he ended his life in misery, if it were not to be a demonic possession, he would not have dies the way he died. My greatest conviction of the flaws of IFA is that,a true religion appeals to humans without much deliberation IFA never appeal to men until they are been enticed by it secrecy,mind you bro,if you walk the path of IFA, your life would be wearied by knowledge of sorrow and mystery,I am saying this from experience, if you study IFA you will surely acquire knowledge and wisdom, but I tell you,you would wish you never know them at the first instance, Jesus is the only way |
TimeManager:ok |
gregyboy:all Yorubas deserved to be respected for their great contributions to the world |
TimeManager:are you a Yoruba, be serious guy,so that I can give you the respect you deserved |
IFA is indeed the true religion of the Yoruba people, a great art,a great science. It was developed by a great Yoruba philosopher, Orunmila, it present a way of knowing the mind of olodumare through divination, IFA has 256 principal odus,although there are sixteen odus,but each odus has another alternative which makes it 256. But the bad side of IFA is that some of it Philosophy goes against ethics and humanity, human sacrifice, tendency to get in contact with wrong demons,so I say it loud IFA is to be associated as a great art or science but not as a religion, hear me I grew up in the midst of elders and I know what they do in secret, they never have peace of mind,the truth is that only in Jesus is there peace and hope for the afterlife, Jesus said " love your neighbour as you love yourself, he said to the adulterer" go and seen no more", what religion could be greater than this,what I wrote is the truth,is you disapprove ask your heart |
gregyboy:when the British came,they avoid trying to get into trouble with great monarchs, so they accorded them great respect, do you know the position of our Ooni compared to the back sit of your Oba( I am not disrespecting your Oba just trying to make you see fact) Ooni is the greatest not by mouth,it real and obvious, I don't proclaim my Ooni, the world proclaims him,go to Brazil, go to Cuba, go to the Caribs and ask for Ooni, you would be surprised, but your Oba is limited to Edo state alone, in fact " igi imu jina si Ori". the distance from the head to the nose is great,to my Ooni, ( in naira Marley voice)" kade pe lori,ni bats pelese". |
TimeManager:guy wait, are you for Yoruba or against it,it seems there is a confusion here |
gregyboy:tell him what? are you supporting me or opposing me? talk o,so that I will know how to treat either as friend or foe |
gregyboy:if you can walk up to the Ooni and declare him a chief priest not a king,I will count your opinion to be valid, or if you are to afraid to do that,you can go meet the press and tell them that there is an error somewhere, that Ooni is not a king but a priest, but if you can't then FEM, don't disrespect the stool that your father worshipped and feared, small boy. |
TimeManager:we rule Lagos, that is all that matters, we will sit and watch you agitate for Lagos, and we will laugh at your helplessness, we ain't your mate,we take actions you do the talking. |
TimeManager:kilometres and people is not my business, my business is that Yorubas as settled in Lagos and they had ceased the sit of power,nothing matters to me than that. |
TimeManager:if you say so,but the fact is that they can never claim it, na we get am,you need to understand that |
Kentuforchrist:abeg no vex, you seem reasonable to me |
gregyboy:why won't we be liars to you, you don't know that chronic liars like you sees every truth as lie,except a truth that will benefit them. |
1)I called your conspiracy theory crazy, I wasn't insulting you, that was my appreciation of your conspiracy theory.then that means the slaves were smart and wise to have ceased leadership from the Edo aboriginal and settle down as heir,while you are here trying to reclaim the land,the truth there is that Yorubas are the ruler of Lagos now,as in now,and there is nothing you Edo folks can do about it,unless you want to get yourself injured |
gregyboy:according to your proposition, Benin borrowed some names from their Yoruba neighbours and even intermarried with them, here is the fact,great culture impacts the weaker,it seems Yoruba culture has given the Edo culture an uppercut at that corner,because Edo had seen and experienced the great culture and beauty of the omoluabis,no man takes for himself a wife except the woman is great in beauty and in character, but the last time I checked, you gregyboy, insulted the beauty of Yoruba women and insulted their pride,deduction two from your preposition, some Bini families migrated back to Bini with their Yoruba partners,here is the fact,those Yoruba carries their gene with them and transfer it to their offspring, never minding whether, the father or the mother is Yoruba, the offspring carries the blood of oduduwa, which probably means you may be a probable carrier of these gene,but I am sure you are not,you are too dumb and crude, you are not worthy to be call the son of oduduwa, now the mixing of Yoruba and Edo culture is what the Op was trying to analyse before your tribal ego set in,but at least,thank God that you are learning how to accept things as they are now. |
only on nairaland are you permitted to make a claim over Lagos, you funny Edo folks, you think Yorubas in their wisdom and cunning surrender Lagos to you,cry water,cry blood,Lagos is for us, awa la ni eko,eko de ni baje |
nocomment2:I trust logic more than history bro,answer the damn question, why is it it that Lagos as it is today is dominated and ruled by Yorubas,no need for insults bro, present reasons not insults |
gregyboy:Edo was raided by Yoruba, Nupe and igala, read well dumb boy |
let be logical,If Lagos indeed belongs to the Benin then why do Yoruba dominate Lagos today, was it that the Yoruba conquered the indigenous Edo settlers or Yoruba's were the indigenous settler,if Benin agree with the first thesis,then they should take heart,because lagos is gone for Good, Yoruba's won't open their eyes and watch you capture their big meat, but if Benin disagrees with the first thesis and support the second, then they are thieves that deserved to be hanged or shot,but if Benin does not agree with the first and second thesis, let them propose the third . |
Edeyoung:back to be beaten blue black, dumb gregyboy |
Ciara9251:I personally love African history, culture and the richness of it indigenous wisdom and philosophies,my work is just a fictional product of nonfictional African people who had experienced the roles of each of each of the characters, I believe that there are others like me who cherished and thirst for African stories and their lore,so I started this work as an introduction to many more African tale I would write,most especially in myths,legends. |
Ciara9251:I will surely do that in my next work,I thank you for your consistent encouragement, I believe I would have improved much before I start my second work, in fact i would have start it already but I don't want to divert my attention from Oyeku till am done with it. |
blazebaba:thanks, blazebaba,seeing your comment for the first time, I cherished to see more of you. |
Lakesc:abi o,love drunken, I have missed s lot of your comments, thanks for this ones. |
Ayo5991:good morning bro,missed your comments. |
Several thought ran across Oyeku's mind as Uzo fix several awful looking charms around his body,he wrapped a special charm around his waist for agility in war,he made him drink some terrible bitter concotions,around his neck were five different amulets that served different purpose,the most conspicuous of these amulets is a leather stringed charm that anchors an antelope horn. His back hurt and stung from the wound of several incisions that Uzo had made on him,Uzo made him smell a substance that got him dizzy,he would have stop him from further inconvenience but the thought of not participating in the war made him dumb as Uzo continued with his business. Uzo he bent down and made incisions on Oyeku ankles,Oyeku folded his lips to stop himself from screaming) with these on your feet,you will run like an antelope in case the battle grows hot,it was baba who specially made this charm for you,(he looked at oyeku) make sure you survive.Oyeku he brought down his feet from the stone which Uzo had placed them) Where is baba now? i saw him last yesterday.Uzo he stood up) baba is at Ibiru right now,don't worry about him,he will be okay,let focus on how to get to the border on time,have you picked your matchet?Oyeku: i don't do matchet,spear is fine. Oyeku he started dressing himself with charms and amulets) go wait for me outside, i want to do some things.Oyeku was finally free from all these punishments which Uzo call empowerment,his thought shifted to Chilo,he had not seen her since three days ago,his mind had been on his martial empowerment that he had forgot about her,he tried to imagine what she is doing right now,probably missing him,or angry for not checking on her,well he would see her now,they would surely pass through her hut,so he would go see her,he was still thinking when he sighted her,his heart skipped,he had really forgotten how beautiful Chilo was,but wait,she wasn't smiling,something is wrong Oyeku thought,well he would tell her sweet things as usual. Oyeku he stood up and smiled)here comes my love.she walked straight to him and stood right at his face with her hands akimbo,Oyeku was puzzled and afraid,what's wrong with her?always behaving weird. Oyeku smiling)what is wrong?you missed me?Chilo she stood on her toes for her hands to reach his head and gave him a knock,Oyeku shouted and squeezed his head,the knock was painful,he would have beat somebody,if not that it was his chilo that knocked him) Where have you been?why do you like to always make me crying(indeed tears were gathering in her eyes) Oyeku why?why didn't you tell me you are here?why didn't you come to my place and check on me,and you know i love you,you know i.......(she burst into tears as Oyeku dragged and hugged her).Oyeku blamed himself,Chilo was right,he had always do things to suit himself never minding what others felt about it,now he made Chilo cry again. Oyeku he patted her) i am very sorry Chilo,very sorry,it was the war preparation that got me busy,i am very sorry(for the first time Oyeku fondled with her breast playfully,he was surprised how he did it,but he knew he did it and he felt good,so he did it again,he grinned) are you still angry?look at me and tell me you are still angry(she covered her face with her palm to stop Oyeku from seeing how happy she was,that is the thing about her,she doesn't know how to hide emotion,and Oyeku knew this so he exploit her weakness an she hates it).Chilo she hit his chest playfully as she laughed) stupid boy.They were in these romantic position when Uzo came out loaded from above to below with unexplainable and undescribeable dangerous looking charms which made him look fatter and heavier. Uzo he was disappointed) oh oyeku! you don't hold girls with charms on,they reduce potency of charms(he cast a glance at Chilo,but Chilo returned the glance with a big frown) hey you!what is wrong with you?why do you look me that way?Chilo she folded her hands)how do i look you?Oyeku could see the tension,he could see the wrath and fury in Uzo's face,his eyes was red as a live coal,Uzo is really dangerous right now,especially because of some dangerous potions that he drank to make him brutal in the battle,Uzo could kill anybody now,including Chilo,Oyeku was afraid,he knew chilo too,her mouth is never selective of words,always insulting people. Oyeku he rushed to Uzo and held him) brother,mercy please,please,you know girls and their mouth,please.No girl had ever treated uzo that way before,but this girl did it,he would have really show her hell,but he was considering Oyeku's emotions. Uzo he relax gradually and spoke to Oyeku,softly)warn her to watch her tongue or else(he did not complete his speech as he hurried away angrily).Oyeku return his gaze to chilo who is still folding her hands as if expexting a fight,she was facing up,this girl doesn't seems to understand things,he thought,he can't imagine what Uzo could have done to her,the thought was so horrible that Oyeku laughed out loud. |


he bent down and made incisions on Oyeku ankles,Oyeku folded his lips to stop himself from screaming) with these on your feet,you will run like an antelope in case the battle grows hot,it was baba who specially made this charm for you,(he looked at oyeku) make sure you survive.
