Thats instructions from creator of mankind. We do that in obedience to Him. When He instructed Ibrahim to kill ram instead of his son, he obeyed. Whatever He instructs prophets to do, they do it without hesitation. And we the followers of the prophets obey as well. That’s not idol worship. That’s the worship of one true Lord.

This your story of Ijapa ati Yanibo Don cast
Your Ibro na fictional character 😂

Why did You think Abraham left His fathers idols to follow the MOST HIGH GOD?.

For years He has seen His Father and Fathers carry nonsense upandan that cant say a Word,but this VOICE ooo This Sweet soothing VOICE He nows Hears and Speaks to HEART to HEART without seeing Who's It Is must be the REAL DEAL or LIFE is equal to
Tohu wa Bohu(ABSOLUTELY NOTHING,NOTHING)

Nothing concern Africans with The story of Abraham, we are not related to the Arabs or the levants.

There is no definitive archaeological or non-biblical historical evidence to prove that Abraham was a real person. Most mainstream historians and biblical scholars consider the patriarchal narratives in the Book of Genesis to be largely mythological or cultural memories rather than strictly factual history.

Like I said, the greatest undoing of these foreign religion is the Internet, all your centuries of lies have been laid bare for all to see.

Of course, I know the story..

I’m from Ogun state myself..

Tortoise, one of the most sacred living thing ever! 😎

I never knew the animal was scared, no wonder some palaces keep them as pet.

That's good
Have you heard of the Story about Antar Laniyan the amazing actor, he gave an interview sometime ago about how he was born.

A lot of these knowledge are going to waste, every use of ewe and Egbo came from IFA. Even the Drums we beats and how it was made came from IFA.
The worst thing that happened to these foreign religions is the Internet, all the lies and secrets have been layed bare before us.

If they call us elebo, let's wear it with pride. ✌️

PulaPower:
Very correct..

When I was born, somethings happened when I was growing up which is very strange. So, ifa was consulted and it revealed that I should stop eating anything plantain! It revealed that I can eat banana but not a plantain! It revealed my Eleda doesn’t like a fried or cooked banana.

My Eleda only likes the natural Banana. We follow the instructions and just the 3rd day, I became a bouncing boy till date..

From then till now, I don’t eat plantain - either cooked or fried!

We’re very much blessed in this part of the world. Only that our people have been caged by all these foreign religion..

If I tell you something, you no go believe? And that’s, I was born inside house, not hospital. All my life till date, I never been to hospital before. I no dey fall sick at all… Lots of stories bro… I love our tradition so much!

That's really inspiring
I'm sure you've heard people say the phrase " Ijebu ni ahun " which was later mistranslated as " the Ijebu people are Frugal "
Ahun here is tortoise.
There was a time people where dying young in Ijebu, so the wise Ijebu people consult IFA eleri ipin.
IFA instructed every household in Ijebu to keep tortoise as pet and the people stopped dying young.
When visitors started trooping into Ijebu kingdoms again, they observed they all had ahun ( which is tortoise )
When visitors explained what they observed in Ijebu on their way home, they all kept saying "Ijebu ni ahun" which translates to the Ijebus have tortoise.
For some nefarious reasons, it was mistranslated into Ijebu being Frugal.

There are more stories but I don't wanna derail the thread.

Alfuad:
You are totally wrong regarding Prophet Muhammad's knowledge about what will happen after death.

How come he didn't see all his children will die before him except Fatima that died a few months after him ?

PulaPower:
You tried but Orisa is not even idol. The word idol belongs to those unfortunate Europeans, trying to ridicule our traditional ways of doing things.. Those white’s are the real idol worshipper..

For example: Sango, Ogun, Eshu, etc are not Idol. They’re simply spirit..

Ifa by the way is the great philosopher & a consultant. Irrespective of whichever spirit you believe in, if something strange comes up, it’s Ifa that they’ll consult to shed light and give details on what & why..

Eshu wey you dey see so, I mean Eshu Laalu Ogiri Oko, is not the same has the Satan in the Bible o! Our own Eshu is a spirit that can fight any evil & stop the evil from happening. Me, I no dey joke with Ogun & Eshu. Once in a while, I go give them their dues… The real meaning of give what belongs to ceaser, to ceaser! They’re protective to the core !

The beautiful aspect in the Yoruba religion is that each house hold has it own Orisa(s). In most cases these households are one way or the other related to the Orisa.
In some cases, when certain things happen to people in a household frequently, they consult with IFA eleri ipin, they get answers. Some households might be told to " bo " egun or oro. In some cases, IFA will instruct them to "bo" Orisa idile
I don't think there's a perfect translation of the Yoruba word "bo".
You can decide to "bo" Ogun or Sango, even though you've no connection to them but IFA eleri ipin will guide you to also "bo" the Orisa(s) from your households.
IFA has all the answers and IFa does not lie.

AgentNairaland:
Placing statue or stone and bowing for it is an idolism.

Worship thy Lord and God alone, anything that's an object you placed and bow for is totally condemned. Even this your IFA is an idolism so far you bow for it. I read you do say IFA, this is your head means you bow and surrender for IFA. This is totally and absolutely condemned!

That would mean both Christians and Muslims are also idol worshippers 😂

simpleseyi:
.
What is idol worshipping? Is it the type that Catholics do by worshipping the statues of Nary and Jesus or the ones Pentecostals do by worshipping their Pastors?

Someone died on a cross next to criminals, but you're meant to believe the symbol of the same cross criminals died on is somewhat sacrosanct.

Let me guess, if Jesus had died from a hanging noose, I guess Christians will wear a rope around their necks 😂

Bowing down to kabaa shrine is now what?

Government subsidized tourism scheme, apparently the government is interested in where you go on vacation

You don't know law, where's the law

BrickandLace:

I'm sure omoluabis are not the ones producing and way billing these counterfeits to SW.

They are just the victims.

You don't know law, show me the law

The herdsmen in Southern regions, who owns their cows?

That's a very good question bro
Mist of these cows belongs to the chiefs and kings in those communities which isn't helping the situation. We are our own problem.

Over the years, farmers have learned to overcome certain obstacles with the ingenious inventions of effective solutions. Some of those hurdles and their solutions for example are
Pesticide for pest
Avicide for birds
Insecticide for insect
Even soil science to improve the quality of soil


In the 21st century Nigeria one problem remains,
The Fulani herdsmen
Why these people hate farmers is something that remains a mystery.

For every problem there's a solution, the only language they understand is force and that's the language every farmer needs to learn.

Take away the AK 47, the average Fulani is a coward and that's why I believe it's every farmer's God given right to bear arms to face this injustice.

It has not being a fair fight so far and perhaps it's time to even the playing field. If a man comes for your means of livelihood, such a man has already made an attempt on your life.

If you think these people are not xenophobic
Humor me this

Let's assume for the sake of argument Nigerians are terrible people.

Are people from Zimbabwe, Malawi and other African countries also bad or these group of putz just hate black people in general.

This is the kinda time I wish we still had someone like OBJ in power, e for cure una xenophobic madness ASAP.

I'm surprised Nigerians are still being taken for a ride, the same midnight data plan does not expire in Ghana and you can do it as many times as you want.
For Airtel and Telecel it's 3 cedis but MTN allows the flexibility to buy between 1-2.99 cedis.

The government have failed to protect its citizens, these companies are making banks with the scams they are pulling on hardworking Nigerians.

Looks like a Hawk. Why are we so superstitious and wicked? If you ask them now, they'll tell you it's a witch. The poor bird was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Blame Nollywood, they ignorantly destroyed African spirituality.

You mean to say 2003, when he stepped down, so that Obasanjo can continue...?

He stepped down for MKO in the SDP primaries
Atiku has had this ambition since the 90s

Capitalist...

Anyway, it has been proven beyond doubt that you like hallucinations more than glaring truths.

Capitalist abi?

Time is a Gentleman

I was expecting a compelling counter-argument and this is the best you can come up with; quite a lacklustre rebuttal.

esnbrutality:
Dangote for North and SW...

In Biafra..entrepreneurs will be actively competing against each other.

SW needs to enjoy Dangote and his penchant for astronomical prices. Imagine buying a Bag of cement for almost 7-8k, when the raw material is directly located near his factory.

Igbos, hustle hard for Biafra, because those supporting Dangote will still protest against him and tell him he is not from their land and he should carry he factory back to the NORTH.

You just described the SW as a capitalist economy and the Ibos as the opposite.
This means the SW is an open and free market. No wonder they're flourishing.
