tupacshakur:

Isn't now the perfect time for you to tell me what the "HD" means?

There's something about mysteries.......if I tell you the secret, it's no longer fun.

Add 1 more Osun/Ijesha cat to that list --C'est moi. Lati Orlando, FL to LasGidi.

You're in Orlando, FL?

tupacshakur:


My only reservation with the late Tupac Amaru Shakur was his deep belief in God. Damn, that Nigger acknowledged God a great deal in his songs, poetry and interviews.

And now you, Shymmex.

Inner voice and intuition? The inner voices you hear are nothing but your innermost thoughts that come to you as voices from others. Your intuitive capabilities and dispositions have been ingrained in you since birth. No God is responsible for them.

In my heart of hearts, I really don't believe in the big bang theory, just as I think the idea of a God creating the entire universe and living things in not only absurd but unrealistic. Don't you think a "God" capable of doing such great wonders is too big and wonderful to be imagined. Now, don't you think if a "God" created something, then that "God" must have been created by some other "God". Now, infinite regression sets in.

If I were to choose between the big bang theory and the bible's explanation of the creation of the world, I'll go with the former, as it has some scientific basis.

...ain't no God, Bro!

I like this ngga

Ekitis are actually in two(2) local govts in Kwara state namely Ekiti and Oke Ero local govts

What's our population in Kwara?

I don't want her walaha, only Mayor can handle her.


Regarding the other question, man must flex. Life is short nah.

If everyone keeps saying this, we'd have no development to speak of.

Pardon my French, but that's a foolish excuse to be wasteful.

I see three Osunites on this thread.....2 people 1 robot.


Unku IFELEKE, if you have any pics of Ekiti state, please share am.

tupacshakur:


I'm Atheist.

I only used the hypothesis to buttress a point. I have always doubted God's existence, even as a kid. Well, I grew from being agnostic to a type of Agnosticism that borders on Atheism...and now to a complete Atheist.

How I became an Atheist? Oro po ninu iwe kobo.

I'll tell that some other time.

I always like knowing why Nigerians are atheists.....they're rare gems.

Quote/mention me when you want to tak about it [be it on this thread or the religion section].

teamchocolate:
My sentiments exactly! Immediately I saw the name ojukwu. I knew it was an end-time story.. the other ojukwu I know is a fraud, he led to the death of 3 million people and dressed as a woman to escape

My brother, na so we see am o.

They're usually getting duped or defrauding people.

tupacshakur:


I am a staunch, unrepentant Atheist.

I'll prefer Hennessy.

Either there's no God or there's a God who doesn't deserve to be worshiped.

I'll go with my first hypotheses, any day, anytime. There is no God.

The second hypothesis can be succinctly justified from Richard Dawkins quote in his book, "The God Delusion":

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

There's nothing holy about that fictional journal/diary

The attributes he ascribed to "Jehovah" can be proven from various verses in the "Holy Bible".

Even if he exists, Why should I worship such a "God"?

Atheist or agnostic?

If you believe God is fake, but that there's something out there greater than us, then you're agnostic.

How did you become an atheist?

*will ask nikkigurl to bring you your drink*

Reading is essential, this Ojukwu was the one that was jilted.

Same way Ojukwu was jilted by Igbos during the 2003/2007 election?

Unnecessary waste of money

Some Yoruba people likes showing off too much.....and God knows to whom. From owambe to ....

Just save and invest. Until you're a multimillionaire, the small money you have is nothing.

Invest.....dem no hear.

Start business..... Dem no listen.

Start a multinational company.......

zimoni:


I dey tell you. Just 1 LG, I see no reason why they lumped them with Kwara State. It was unnecessary.

A lot of things are unnecessary in Nigeria.

Which state are you from? I never got to ask.

DickDastardly:

You are better than this

Who sent you after me?

Why are you following me from thread to thread?

DickDastardly:

Yes sweerie, just showing sincere concern

Did anyone ask for your concern?

Don't carry another mans problem on your head like gala.

Might as well start redrawing......a regional border

Dem don Northernize my Ekiti people.

The Bible is very clear. All one needs to do, is to read it with an open mind....

And the man of God is not using any power to determine who gets to heaven, he was just using the criteria set out in the Scriptures (which any individual must obey in order to make heaven), to arrive at a conclusion about the person's destination.

Currently on my phone. I'll get back to this post later.

Lol......

There are several things I'd wish for this thread to deviate from, and I believe we've discussed one of them at the onset of the thread:

Allocating a large amount of the thread's content to non-Yorubas, esp when unnecessary.

You talk about other groups, they will come in.

If possible, let's minimize talking about romanis, fla.the.ad or whatnot. It takes essence away from the thread.

Honestly, it makes the thread boring after a while. Let's allocate much of our time to discussing Yoruba and Yorubaland.

If care is not taken, this thread will become a war zone.

tupacshakur:


You must be omniscient and very spiritual to have known she died without sins...

Do you know what's called Ese Afiroda?

Sins committed via one's thoughts.

Now, I'm not saying she died sinful. I just think Adeboye coming out to tell the whole world that she is in heaven doesn't only sound cocky and conceited, but also "unchristian-like".

You sound like an atheist.....if so, I owe you a drink.

If not...... If the bible claims that we're all sinners [I find that I like to sin quite a lot], how can someone die sinlessly?

laudate:


According to the Bible, there are certain conditions a person must fulfil, in order to enter heaven. If Pastor Adeboye saw she had fulfilled those tenets as laid out in the Scriptures, would he be so wrong as to say she was in heaven, if he was convinced she had met the scriptural qualifications to gain access into that realm?? Even Jesus Christ told one of the thieves that was crucified along with him: "Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Would you say He had no right to do so?

I do not want to start quoting scriptures, as this thread is not a platform for such things. But please be rest assured that the Bible is clear on what an individual needs to do, to enter heaven. If any individual meets the criteria, what would hinder him from gaining entry into the place??

Christianity........a nest of confusion.

Since when did a man of God have the power to determine who gets through the gate of heaven?

Actually the bible is quite unclear.

zimoni:


The Ekitis in Kwara State are not many. Just 1 LGA. So, if they merge them with their folks in Ekiti, it's not a bad idea.

Why were they separated from Ekiti state in the first place? Are they natives or migrants?

Many borders in Nigeria needs to be redrawn.

One would think the borders of Nigerian state was drawn by a child.

raumdeuter:


Yes. Its easier to identify with historical kingdoms than the attempted STate creation by the military. Oyo STate, Osun state, EKiti STate Ogun state lagos State are Nigerian and military terminologies

There can be up to 20 provinces based on our ancestral differences. WHat is called Osun currently is a combination of Igbomina, Oyo speaking, Ijesha, And Ife people, Ogun is made of Egba, Ijebu and riverine people, Ondo is made of Ondo, AKure, Ikale, and riverine people

Merge the Ekiti in Kwara with the current EKiti, The Okun can stand alone, the Igbomina in Kwara merge with their Osun brothers

It would make traditional rulers more powerful but Yorubas dont have an issue with obeying their annointed kings and like in Oyo empire there are Oyo mesi to check the king

Say what?


Okun can stay alone but the Ekitis in Kwara can't? Why not just blend the whole SW na?
