THE DISGRACEFUL "OONI of IFE"

Yoruba culture and history has been an area of interest for me, the Yorubas have their own records from Oduduwa down to this present Ooni and Jesus is not in that history at all.

How come the Ooni is openly saying that Jesus is his father? Is Olodumare the same as Yahweh? Is Orunmila the same as Yeshua?

Maybe I studied the wrong Yoruba history or the Ooni knows something I don't.

[b][size=14pt]SIASIA: MIKEL UNSURE FOR RIO, WATFORD STOP IGHALO[/size]

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/01/07/11/2F8721ED00000578-3388325-image-a-27_1452164747483.jpg

Coach Samson Siasia has admitted he is not certain Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi will feature at the Rio Olympics just as Premier League club Watford have refused to release Odion Ighalo for the tournament.

READ: No Rio Olympics for Osimhen

Both players have been lined up as over-aged players for the summer games.

However, Siasia has now disclosed he is no longer certain of Mikel for Rio 2016 as he has yet to receive Chelsea’s nod to release the star midfielder, while Watford have said Ighalo will not be released.

“I’m not sure of Mikel because Chelsea have not got back to us on his availability, while Watford said they won’t release Ighalo,” he said.

“It’s a big disappointment.”

Already, Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has also opted to stay put at his club rather than be in Brazil for the Olympics.

Siasia expressed confidence that the likes of Umar Aminu (Turkey), Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon (Belgium), Kenneth Omeruo (England) and Shehu Abdullahi (Portugal) will be available for the competition reserved for players Under-23 with three over-aged players also allowed.

Lets just say, God is the standard of goodness, there no standard beyond him, He is the ultimate being. In a sense he is "the good" Plato wrote about.

How do you know this?

Nothing then,for it impossible for the God to have had a different character.

As for the psalm, it's not about Yahweh character, it's a cry for justice, an imprecatory psalm asking God to let justice be served, let Babylon suffer in the same measure as they made israel suffer.

2nd Kings 2:23-24
Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"
When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.…

What happened to Yahweh here in answering Elisha's prayers?

I was reading about Homosexuality in Africa some years back and it occurred to me that our Ancients treated them with indifference. In fact, some of them were deified. Sango, a Bisexual is a god in the Yoruba traditional religion. Sango, the Yoruba god of thunder was often described as a beautiful man who dressed like a woman, had his hair braided and accessorized like a woman. Sango priests, all men, still dress in women apparels when performing traditional rituals.

The foreign gods messed up our minds.

Then there is a problem. We may paraphrase what you just said to this (please correct me if I am wrong): "Things are not good because He approves of them, they are good because they are like him."

If yes, then it seems to me that you just shuffled the problem around. If the character of God is somehow like seizing the little ones and dashing their heads against the rocks (cf., Psalm 137:9), what then?

[b]IS GOD THE SOURCE OF ALL MORALITY?

Christians say God is the source of all morality. Let's explore that contention.

Does God command things because they are good or are things good because they are commanded by God?

If it is the former, God simply KNOWS what is good. So goodness is knowledge that we could acquire too, whether or not God exists. That would mean God is not the SOURCE of all morality--the source must lie outside of God.

So, perhaps Christians mean the latter, that things are good BECAUSE they are commanded by God. But how does God know the things he commands are good? Of all the possible things God could command, if some are good, some must be not good.

So God MUST have to choose what to command. God's choice cannot be arbitrary because that would lead to contradictions. For example, he cannot say killing people for fun is both good and not good. Ultimately, God can only choose because he KNOWS what is good.

We cannot avoid the conclusion that God does not need to exist for us to have morality. And that is exactly as it should be since there is no reason whatsoever to believe that God does exist.

PS This is my version of an argument first raised by Plato in his dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro, known as the Euthyphro dilemma.

PPS: If this post is over your head, read it again. If after the third time, you still can't grasp it, I understand for "...everyone who lives on milk ...is an infant. Solid food is for the mature...." Hebrews 5:13-14 grin

MARK TWAIN ON CHRISTIANITY...

"There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing, and predatory as it is – in our country particularly and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat modified degree – it is still a hundred times better than the Christianity of the Bible, with its prodigious crime – the invention of Hell.

Measured by our Christianity of to-day, bad as it is, hypocritical as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the Deity nor his Son is a Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilled."

[b][size=14pt]6 MILLION EUROS BID FOR WILFRED NDIDI REJECTED, CLUB 'WON'T SELL CHEAP'[/size]

https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/06/Samm_15_July_7.jpg

AfricanFootball.com can specially reveal that top Belgian club KRC Genk have turned down a six million Euros bid for Nigeria star Wilfred Ndidi, less than two years after they paid $200,000 for him.

READ: Ndidi, Moses Simon, Madu lead new Olympic team

“Genk have already rejected a six million Euros bid for Wilfred Ndidi,” one of his known representatives informed only AfricanFootball.com

“The truth of the matter is that Wilfred won’t go on the cheap as Genk have produced some top stars like Kevin De Bruyne now of Manchester City, Christian Benteke, Divock Origi (Liverpool), Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea), and all these players did not leave on a cheap.”

The 19-year-old Ndidi has made a remarkable progress in a highly promising career.

He joined Genk in January 2015 as a central defender and playsed six matches mostly as a left or right fullback.

However, this season he celebrated his conversion as defensive midfielder by playing 38 matches and scoring four goals in the league as Genk qualified for the championship play-offs and eventually booked their passage to next season’s UEFA Europa League.

His goal against champions Club Brugge in the regular season was also voted the best in the entire Belgian league.

Ndidi has won three full international caps and he is now set to feature at the Rio Olympics.

I'm reading speculations that Iheanacho wants to drop the Olympic team for pre-season with City.

Don't know how true it is (reports emerged today), but, what do you guys make of the decision if true?

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. He has a greater assurance playing during pre-seasons and getting acquainted with his new coach than he does playing for Nigeria. Siasia may just pull the same trick Manu did in U20, and Kelechi's sacrifice will be all for nought

Right now, I am not sure I care about Siasia any longer. Siasia looks like someone who is for his boys. If that's the card he will continue to play, Kelechi is better off going for the PreSeason with Pep and jostling for a starting place when the Season begins.

Marist Brothers Juniorate(only boys) and Marist comprehensive Academy(mixed) are located in Uturu, just few kilometers from ABSU, Abia State

The school has a very great quality, when I really knew it, it's been nearly 7years I went there, so I can't say for now, but from what I hear, I think it still has great quality, especially in sports and WAEC success...

Experiences and challenges are kind of personal, I can't lay them out here, unless in a private message/chat .... Due to some reasons best know to me

Qualifications, the school used to have an entrance exam which usually takes place in the school premises, they candidate needs to get a good mark to be considered for admission as there are always many candidates.
Secondly, finance= the school as far back as 2008 had a sch fees of over #39,000 minus text books nd pocket money (provisions were banned) I heard the pay over 120K now per term na big man school ooooo

The school is a boarding school, the uniform is White trouser nd white shirt for seniors, nd white shorts nd white shirt for junior
While day wear is Yellow shirt and green trouser/shorts
But uniforms are mostly provided by the school, or a tailor who has an agreement with the school
Other uniforms are white nd red shorts for sanitation, labour, games.....
Director, deputy director, Dean of studies, patrons are among the hierarchy of the school management and administration, the have a good borehole, semi water cistern toilet, enclosure bathroom (you will bring ur water nd bucket)

Disclaimer : this views are they last known facts I knew about the school, but MAYBE a lot have changed, as I said I haven't been to the school or beenin touch with the school informations for over 7 years....

Are people who are opposed to Islam racist? Let's delve into some logic.

Can you convert to Islam? Yes.

Can you convert to a race? No.

Can you become an ex-Muslim? Yes.

Can you become an ex-Caucasian? No.

Are Muslims people of different races? Yes.

Well, that's pretty clear then. Islam https://www.prepressure.com/images/glyph_not_equal_to_2260_143.png Race.

You do not have to be racist to oppose Islam. You might just feel a religion that, for example, institutionalises gender discrimination, or prescribes penalties, up to and including execution, for changing your faith is a religion that should be opposed.

THE JEWISH GOD CHOSE THE JEWISH PEOPLE

It's quite a coincidence that when God selected the Jews as his Chosen People, he also chose them to tell the world that He exists and how he created the universe and everything else about Himself. In fact, God didn't tell gentiles anything. Nothing, nada, niente, awan-ilocano.

Without the Jews we would know NOTHING about this particular God. It would be just like He didn't exist.

[b]GOD vs SURGEONS

Here's a test for those pastors who claim they can work miracles through God; take them to a hospital to pray for 30 patients.

Ten patients have aortic valve failure and need replacement heart valves.

Ten are almost blind, suffering from advanced cataracts--their eyes need replacement lenses.

Ten have chronic osteoarthritis in their knees and need artificial knee joints.

In a modern hospital, surgeons will achieve a 100%, or near 100%, success rate healing these 30 patients. God will not be able to heal ANY of them.

Any pastor can feel free to prove me wrong but we have never, ever seen God do what surgeons do every day.

Believers make extraordinary claims for God. They claim he created an entire universe from nothing and he designed and assembled living things from atoms. But they can't show he can replace a knee joint, an eye lens or a heart valve.

The truth is, believers cannot even show that God exists, far less that he did anything at all--all they have is faith and empty claims.[/b]

[b][size=14pt]Akpeyi Listed As Nigeria Olympics Goalkeeper [/size]

www.nairaland.com/attachments/3849336_55b0090aaf9bb8504a0000001_jpeg51bdf2905d76146eabb722acde3aa6a3

South Africa-based Daniel Akpeyi will be on Nigeria’s squad to the Rio Olympics as one of the over-aged players and he will be the top-choice goalkeeper ahead of Emmanuel Daniel in Brazil.

Akpeyi, who plays for Chippa United in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League, is a late inclusion to Nigeria’s provisional list as one of several over-aged players and he is now set to be selected as one of the three over-aged players in the squad, Africanfootball.com reported.

The 29-year-old was initially not in contention for a place in the squad, as Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia had listed only outfield players as possible over-aged for the Games, but appears to have had a change of heart.

“Dan (Akpeyi) was not on the list but coach (Siasia) realises he needs an experienced goalkeeper in the squad especially after the Korea tournament,” an official of the Nigeria Football Federation said.

“He (Akpeyi) is not new to coach and that’s why he has been selected and I can tell you that he will make the team except any last minute change like his club refusing to release him, which we don’t think will happen,” the source informed further.

Akpeyi is expected to resume for pre-season on July 6 with his club while he will not be with the Nigeria U23 all through a training camp in US later this month. The goalkeeper is however expected to join them in time for the Games in Brazil.

The goalkeeper has previously worked with Siasia and was a member of the silver-winning FIFA U20 World Cup team in 2005 and was also part of Nigeria’s Olympic squad in 2008.

The latest being the ill-fated 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt, of which Siasia was the Super Eagles coach on an interim capacity and Akpeyi was in goal in the return leg in Alexandria.

But contrary to general reports that Victor Moses may be dropped from the team, The PUNCH has confirmed from the NFF that the Chelsea player never made the list.

“From the list available to me, Victor’s name is not there. I have a copy of the provisional list the coach is working with and his name was not even in the original list drawn up,” the NFF top official said on Wednesday.

[b][size=14pt]We Learnt A Lot From Suwon Tournament – Siasia[/size]

https://www.thenff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/SAMSON-SIASIA-EAGLES-NFF.jpg

Head Coach of the Nigeria U-23 team, Samson Siasia has said his team learnt a lot from the 4 -Nation Suwon Invitational Tournament in Korea Republic, after his boys ended the invitational with a 3-1 defeat of Honduras on Monday.

Speaking at the post match press conference, Siasia said the experience in Korea was overwhelming.

"I’m happy we are not going back home pointless. The most important thing is that team officials and the players have learnt a lot from this tournament which we will take back home to start making our corrections.

"The best thing that has happened to this team is that due to results at this tournament, we have heard Nigerians criticizing us, we thank them for all the negative things they have been saying about us. These have served as motivation for us, we have realized the areas that we need to improve on and those players that we need to inject into the team to make up a very strong team going to the Olympics."

Siasia added: “The biggest problem we are having right now is that we do not defend very well; we create several chances but do not convert them. So, we need to make changes in those areas for us to move ahead from here, we have other games coming up too in America. After making those changes we will see how well the team will look going to the Olympics.

"I don't see any plus right now, I only saw players that are not fit enough, that's the biggest problem we had. The change of weather actually affected the few ones that we trusted to play well, most of them faltered, so that's a problem, and we need to address these things in a hurry."

Coach Siasia disclosed that he has a number of players in mind to fortify the team, but he will not disclose their names now, because he has not been able to confirm if they will be available for the Games.

The Nigeria U-23 finished third at the 4 -Nation Tournament after beating Honduras 3-1 in their last game on Monday. Honduras went ahead in the 17th minute through Alberth Elis while the Dream Team came into the game in the second half, scoring the equalizer in the 61st minute through captain Azubuike Okechukwu. Godwin Saviour increased the tally in the 69 minute from the penalty spot and in the 87th minute, Saturday Keigho made it three with a beauty of a goal with a shot taken from the Nigerian half of the pitch.[/b]

Chelsea forward Victor Moses could be excluded from Nigeria squad to the Rio Olympics as “a corrective measure” after he opted out of the country’s recent friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg last month, AfricanFootball.com has been informed.

Moses is now one of the over-aged players on Samson Siasia’s provisional list for the summer games, but as reported by this website when he pulled out of the friendly games last month, he incurred the wrath of the NFF, who could now be set to exclude him from the final list of players who will travel to Brazil.

READ: Olympic team fly out from Miami for Rio July 29

“It is as I said before, his withdrawal from those games (against Mali and Luxembourg) made us unhappy and it wasn’t the first time he was doing it,” a top official told AfricanFootball.com

“And now his name is on the Olympic Games list, but I’m not sure he will make it because we need to take some corrective measures for these players to understand the importance of playing for Nigeria.”

Head coach of Nigeria’s U23 team Samson Siasia is yet to make any proclamations on this, and it remains to be seen if he will insist on having the Chelsea winger on his team should he be available for Rio Olympics.

[b]DEATH OF A GENE

The genes that are dominant in any population, are those that are most successfully passed from one generation to the next. Eventually, the most successful genes will be found in almost every member of a population. The same is true of religions.

Changing environmental pressures can disadvantage previously successful genes, reducing their transmission to the next generation thus causing them to become less prevalent and eventually to exit the population. The same is true of religions.

Religions are suffering from adverse environmental pressures in many populations today. These pressures reduce their ability to infect young people and so diminish transmission between generations. The most important adverse pressure is readily accessible global information. It is now easy for young people to discover that:

1. It is OK to have no religion.
2. There are many religions but none can be shown to be true.
3. Religions cause deadly conflicts and human rights abuses.
4. Science shows some religious beliefs are false.
5. Science actually delivers benefits whilst religions only deliver promises.

These pressures will affect some populations and some religions more quickly than others but, in the long run, they will be fatal for most religions in the world today.

Religions will persist longest in populations that suffer deprivation and poor access to essential services, and in populations that restrict access to information or make leaving religion dangerous. But these populations too will eventually change.

I suspect the only hope for long term survival is for religions to morph into something different. Something that satisfies human needs without confronting the zeitgeist of the information age. My guess is we will see religions distancing themselves from the supernatural and embracing the natural; we'll see retreat from outer space towards inner space--our minds, our emotions and our relationships.

The survivors won't be the most powerful but the most adaptable. And gods will be conspicuous, only by their absence.[/b]
