Sapiosexuality: Everything has pagan origin. The Scandinavian Gods are fully entrenched in our daily life.
From Moon Day to Sun Day and Janus there impact is everywhere but what is it that makes something wrong?
If today is the day is the day demons celebrate their feast and I also choose today as the day of celebration of my feast, how exactly am I celebrating demons?
What is it that makes a thing wrong? Isn't it the essence? Is anything wrong because of the origin or because of the essence?
What exactly do Christians do on Christmas and how does that thing justify your argument? Dates are pagan, the months are pagan and so are the years and the astronomy of the Eras.
So, to our main problem, how exactly will sharing with the poor, irrespective of the festival, be wrong if the goal is to help?
Nobody said sharing with the poor is wrong, it's based on the individual not the collective. The scriptures says to make the shabbath aka *Sabbath* holy not Sunday the *day of worship for pagans*.
According to the scriptures the pagans would go into the woods and chop down trees and adorn it with candles, silver and gold to celebrate their God. This was offensive to Yah. This is what Christians reckonise as Christmas.
ALAGOGO007: Taboos has and will always be a part of the African cultures, irrespective of the tribe you represent, there will be something you must never do in some lands, else you will face the wrath of the gods.
The IGBO tribe is one of three major tribes in Nigeria, western Africa with rich cultures and heritage, they are highly industrious and enterprising. But as beautiful as the IGBO people are, they have specific cultures that must not be joke with even as civilization seems to be sweeping away so many cultural values, Certain things are considered a taboo in the entire IGBO land.
Well, if you are wondering what TABOOS are: A taboo is something declared forbidden either for its sacred nature or to protect the people of a given community from the wrath of the gods and the leaders. Lets take a look at 10 forbbidden thing you shouldn't do in IGBO land
1.Killing/eating of the eke (python): Pythons are generally sacred in Igboland and in Delta State, and must not be killed or eaten. Pythons are believed to be the reincarnation of ancestors, and regarded as “our father.” Killing a python is like killing one’s own father, and apart from drawing the ire of the whole community, it could also draw the ire of the gods. Mistakenly killing or catching a python in one’s trap requires that the animal be buried with all the lamentations of a deceased human being. Quails, snails, dogs, and some other animals are also not eaten in certain parts.
2.Committing adultery is taboo: Fornication is nothing in Igboland – meaning that it does not draw the cultural ire of the gods, even though elders forbid that youths engage in premarital sex. But it is much worse if a married woman engages in adultery, and both the elders of the land and the gods forbid this. It is believed that a woman can become mad or lunatic for adultery, and a man must never taste the food prepared by his wife if he has reasons to believe she engaged in adultery – or he might be a partaker of her punishment from the gods.
3.Suicide or killing of oneself: Killing oneself or committing suicide is a taboo in Igbo land, and so much frowned upon by both man and gods that the victim of suicide must never be buried within the community. His body is cursed and must never be buried in the land, but in the Forbidden Forest or outside the town to prevent such evils from befalling others in the community.
4[b].A woman blessing the kolanut: [/b]Kolanut is considered a sacred nut in Igbo land and in Delta State, and must never be broken or shared by a woman. A kolanut must only be broken, blessed, and shared by a man because “he that giveth kola, giveth life,” but never by a woman because it is a life-giving nut of the gods.
5.Committing incest: [/b]It is a taboo to have sexual relations with one’s blood relations or with sisters from the same parents. This is frowned upon by everyone in the community and must never be attempted by anyone or blindness, deafness, poverty or death might result as consequences according to the elders of the land.
6[b]. Using the left hand: Using the left hand to do anything is forbidden in Igboland and strictly prohibited – regardless of the fact that the individual may be left-handed. A left-handed individual is trained or oriented to learn the use of the right hand in eating, writing, giving and accepting things. Elders deeply frown on giving or taking things with the left hand because it is considered most disrespectful and unfortunate.
7. Unblessed marriage union: It is forbidden for a woman to live with a man without the proper marriage rites or without the due approval and approval of their parents. A respectable man is expected to pay the dowry or bride-price of his wife before or shortly after starting to live together, or the woman will lose respect in the community and may face problems of poverty, retrogression, sickness and death among others.
8. Marrying an Osu: An Osu is an outcast within the caste system, and marrying one is considered a taboo that must never be done. An Osu or outcast is considered the property of the gods or a slave and descendant of slaves and must never be offered or taken for marriage. Free-born men and women are expected to investigate the origins and social class of an individual to be certain he/she is not an Osu before contracting marriage. 9. Causing the fall of an elder: [/b]Causing an elder to fall from his seat or drop from his feet is considered a taboo, and the offender must kill a goat for ritual or he may never grow to the present age of the age. A goat or any other prescribed item must be provided to cleanse the land and atone for the offender. Regardless of the situation, a youth or younger individual must never cause the fall of an elder. [b] 10. Whistling in the night: It is considered a taboo to whistle in the night because this act is considered to lure snakes into the home, and also attract evil spirits that roam the night. Whistling in the night is highly discouraged and forbidden and must never be tried in Igboland or the individual will receive the sharp rebuke of elders of the land.
Sapiosexuality: But as Christians celebrating Christmas and New Year, does this still hold?
Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with God/Yah, read your bible, don't listen to your false prophets called pastors/priests. The Bible tells you how much it is against that paegan celebration called Christmas. The Catholics lied to you with their changing of the scriptures.
Fasholu: Your urge to practicalize what you've watched is perfectly normal, most pple would have the same response to the event, However what you feel is terribly disordered, and you must leverage on psychological and religious tools to treat yourself. Try understanding why such urges are disordered both from a psychological and moral perspective.
Supersweet2019: So ignorant, Black Americans are in no way threatened by so called confident Nigerians. If you understand history, we are actually West African and probably share DNA with many of you. And I agree, worldwide Nigerians and African Americans are seen negativity. People that tear each other down of course can’t be respected by outsiders.
Actually African Americans aren't seen in a negative light, people worldwide imitate and love our culture, it's Nigerians who are seen in a negative light because of all the scamming, drugs, sex trafficking, and child porn they are involved in when they migrate to other countries.
To be honest most black Americans don't see Nigerians as a threat because Nigerians don't exist in their world.

streetsoldier1: I tried all I could to save face, just have to end it all after discovering that the single mother I married still contacts her ex regularly...
Despite forgiving her several errors even while we got engaged, she still has the guts under my roof to mess up.
Warning guys, never ever marry a single mother that has been messed up!!! 6 years was messed up!!!
Wouldn't she have to keep in touch with her ex for the child's sake.
Princewill1: They're lazy,rude and uncultured yes! but we are not wearing the shoe that's why we don't understand them and the psychological problems they are facing.
The African American people in the US are a broken people. Broken by the white man thru long years of physical and mental slavery and oppression. Their spirit is dead. The African American community need a healing process.They lost every thing; their culture,identity,ancentral home land to oppression. I don't judge them because I understand their plight.
The African migrants in America are desperate in chasing after the money, they won't understand them and their problems
The attitudinal problems is the result of the phycological effect of their long years of oppression and subjugation. They need our love not rebuke. Moreover if not for their civil rights movement, African migrants won't enjoy the privilege to work in the US today.
The white man in America will even be glad that there's no unity among us.
You are such an arrogant hypocrite just like most Nigerians are, you said you don't judge us yet you falsely call us LAZY, RUDE, and UNCULTURED. Ironically that's how most people see Nigerians.
Obi1kenobi: Igbos lost a civil war and have been politically marginalized since, which justified much of the paranoia and victimhood Igbos feel about their place in Nigeria. But the "victim mentality"doesn't affect our individual aspirations. We still go to school and work and look to improve our lives (at least, comparative to other Nigerian groups). Many African-Americans have convinced themselves that American society has erected insurmountable barriers to their progress and immerse themselves in a deep, destructive cynicism, ending up either dependent on welfare, or turning to crime. It's a mentality I just don't understand with all the boundless opportunities in America. In America, if you could just complete your high school diploma (quality K12 education which is absolutely free), avoid early single-parenthood, learn a low-skill vocation like say plumbing or building and spend responsibly within your credit limits, you can easily achieve a lower middle-class lifestyle by your 30's. I'm always amazed by just what kind of destructive lifestyle leads to the poverty and social dysfunction of African-Americans in a land of opportunity. Illegal immigrants come from Mexico to become fruit pickers and gardeners and busboys and waiters and housekeepers and nannies and support their families in Mexico. If those guys can thrive, it's really, really hard to feel sympathy for African-Americans and their plight.
It amazes me how you arrogant people can only focus on the negative society in black Americans but can NEVER see the positive progress of a people who have come from slavery to the Whitehouse. You are such idiots you think only Igbos have aspirations. You people are blind fools. For your information education in America is not FREE, it's paid through our TAXES.
tiar: A topic on Nigeria seems to pop up on Www.lipstickalley.com almost everyday. This site is an AA forum mainly frequented by AA women.
AAs keep telling themselves that Nigerians think they are superior and this drives the hateful discourse that follows as evident in some AA replies.
Nigerians stand out wherever they go (fortunately and unfortunately) and it is easy for this to be seen as threatening by others. Nigerians are driven to succeed and not to conquer.
The minute AAs stop seeing Nigerians as some form of THREAT, this will become a non-issue.
Nigerians stand out because of the negativity they portray. They are not a PROGRESSIVE threat but a THREAT of HARM.
profilemessages: why do.women hate gay men? I don't know the problem of our modern day women nowadays with gay guys, if they(/women)/notice that you are gay, they will be the first to snitch on that guy, but if the guy toast them they will shout "no" .
I toast you you said no, I toast a guy he said yes, what the hell is your problem? guys please share your comments
I don't think women hate you gay guys, it's your deception we hate. Don't waste a woman's time/life by wooing her to cover up your deception.
The most disgusting and unforgivable selfish behavior that you do is to convince these women that you are straight, love them, and marry them only to continue to chase dick. That's who gay men are in Nigeria.
NaBanga: Yes I remember you an African American. You must defend your people. It explains your reasoning. The American woman set out to scam Bummi from the onset. Not only did she not pay for the clothing. She wore the clothing to an event and proudly showed it off. She did all of this without paying for the outfit. MC Chaz saw that she was not going to abide by their agreement and she went further to proposition him for sex. He sent her on her way to Ghana. She then was able to engage in her immorality with Ghanaian men who were desperate enough to take her.
You are full of lies and hypocrisy. Were you there? What do me being American have to do with anything? We know in America if you take on a paid commitment with a deadline that deadline must be met. There are lessons to be learned here.
Tonya offering Chaz sex is just stupid, for what? Chaz turned her down for sex because? This is about incompetent people making up excuses for their incompetence. I fault Tonya for forgetting that she is in Nigeria and things aren't ran the same way they are in America.
You hypocrites kill me with your fake morality, you are the number one country in the world that is known for your immortality, scamming people in every country that you migrate to.
NaBanga: Did you watch the video? This devilish American woman made Bummi cry. She did NOT pay for Bummi's labor. Can she do that in America? If this is what you call kind and respectful, I cannot consider you a serious person. She went forward to scam MC Chaz, but he packaged her up immediately when he realized what she was doing.
There is nothing devilish about that woman, she was kind, respectful, and tolerant. Bummi made a commitment that she should have not made. She was already over worked with prior commitments and she had no time to take on more work. She promised to have the dress finished at a certain date, when she didn't she made excuses.
When you have a business of your own it is important to be true to your word. If the dress was not completed what should she pay her for? This should be a lesson to Bummi not to overbook herself out of greed, don't take on work that she can't finish by the deadline.
Mr. Chaz was unprofessional, he should have had everything planned out, he should have left early enough to get her to the airport at least an hour before her flight.
NaBanga: Many Youtubers are now promoting travel vlogs. While it's good for the world to see the good parts of Nigeria, it seems some people are taking advantage of us. One such person is the video blogger Tonya TKO. I have watched some of her vlogs and she does not seem like a stable minded person. She has taken advantage of many people.
Recently, she brought her instability to our shores. She employed a seamstress named Bummi. Yes our dear sister was late, which is to be expected during the festive season. The outfit was made as agreed. Tonya TKO demanded alterations. When Bummi tried to mention her instagram page for advertising, Tonya TKO cut the video so the viewers could not hear. She moved forward with abusing our Nigerian sister in the presence of her children. By the end of the spectacle Bummi was shedding tears.
I do not believe Bummi was paid for her services. This cannot stand. I don't care if this makes front page, but I know many will read it. How can foreigners continue to mistreat us on our soil? Can Tonya TKO go to the US and scam an American without being charged to court.
She tried to do the same to MC Chaz and our brother no dey fall my hand. He sent the rude and disrespectful woman packing. He let her know that she wanted Nigeria but Nigeria did not want her. She then went to Ghana for her promiscuity and they accepted her stinky kpekus for a few cedis. She is back and bouncing around our country looking to and fro for a maga. Nigerians must put a stop to this. Seun we must respect ourselves.
What are you talking about? In this video Tonya is very kind and respectful to Bummi and her children, its Bummi who seems to be scamming Tonya out of her fabric. Why would Tonya come all the way to Nigeria just to scam someone over a cheap dress? Your post doesn't make any sense.
tiar: You appear to not have the intellectual rigor to discuss this issue. I will take my leave.
I pray your hate does not CONSUME you.
No poverty in America especially in the AA community? No living in squalor? Delusion does not build self esteem...
But its you who speaks as though Nigerians don't fail *Nigerians are driven to succeed* your words not mine. My point is, the false arrogance that spew out of some of your mouths is bafflingly.
You come from a third world country of extreme poverty to a first world country and look your noses down on people who are less fortunate but still doing better than you are. So disagreeing with someone's opinion equates to hatred to you?

Stop talking like all Nigerians think the same and are the same. *Nigerians are driven to succeed* if that were true then why all the poverty in Nigeria, what about the Nigerians in the US and other foreign countries who have been living in squalor for years?
tiar: That's the discord in a nutshell. Nigerians are not in competition with African Americans. African Americans appear to think so and continually complain, abuse and denigrate Nigerians to prove superiority. This is also evident in your write up that I quoted.
Nigerians are frankly only in competition with themselves. There are over 220m Nigerians in Nigeria and over 3 million in the USA to bother about across over 100 ethnic groups.
Nigerians are not fixated on AAs and do not see AAs as a threat to anything they are trying to achieve. Nigerians are overly fixated (to an unhealthy level) on themselves.
Evidence abounds across the internet reflecting AAs negative concern about Nigerians.
LIve and Let Live will end this debate. There is enough room for everyone to coexist and pursue their dreams. If Nigerians fail, it's on them and not AAs or other Africans. If AAs fail, please do not point fingers at Nigerians or other Africans.
Best wishes
I see you didn't understand my post, I said we aren't in any competition with you because there is no competition, we wish you success, it's your people skills that needs improvement.
tiar: The reality of the matter is everyone is looking for whom they can dominate. It is easier to look down for an extended time than to look up.
African Americans see themselves as the head honcho of black people in America and understandably so.
Suddenly, Africans (Nigerians especially as the most populous black nation in the world and 7th overall) in America act in a way to challenge that notion. The seed of discord is sown as African Americans refuse to allow another ethnicity to challenge them in their homeland.
The seed of discord is sown as AAs try to be put Nigerians in their place and Nigerians are wired not to stay put in one place even when in a foreign country.
In reality, everyone is just going about their business. Success is noisy and Nigerians never come last in anything they set their mind to!
Insults are not needed to be debate this issue. When anyone resorts to insults, they have already lost!
That would be great if what you posted was the truth. The truth is black Americans success outweigh Nigerian success in America. There is no way the few Africans in America can outweigh the success of over 40 million black Americans, lets be realistic here, you aren't a threat to anyone as a matter of fact we wish you success.
It's the arrogance, false pride and COONING for whites that we hate about you. That behavior is embarrassing to all black Americans. Please work on that.
RaptorX: At the end of the day Africans need to get over the illusion that whites love them more than AA's. They might tolerate you more because they see you as less threatening, but all that fawning and kissing up to whites in Africa especially on NL that you people do is also one of the cause of the rift when you bring that attitude to America. At least that was one of their complaints from monitoring predominantly AA online forums.
Ok, this one has his eyes open to the truth. This explains it all which I have said so many times, and they get upset when I call them AfriCOONS. Enough said.
jimyjames: Hmmm and you refused to complete the story?
I have repeated my self many times about this topic and I'm not doing it again. The truth is, everything the op posted can be applied to Nigerians in America as well as the home based ones. What did the bible say about that plank in your eye?
