Where were all these powerful gods and goddess when the Caucasians came and conquered the whole of Africa and enslaved its children both at home and abroad.

Were they sleeping or were they powerless or they were too drunk w to do anything to protect their children.
That's a ridiculous question.

When a christian community is sacked by Islamists, do you ask why 'Jesus' did not come down and save them?

When Nigeria won the civil war, why didn't Igbos abandon Mr Jesus?

Mr Miracle worker was nowhere to be seen.

Yet your worship of him has more than quadrupled since then, as banditry, terrorism, tribalism and corruption have increased.

Why is it one law for your imported white gods and another law for the Gods of your ancestors?

How come it's okay for your imported white and Arab gods to SLEEP through your destruction, while you demand magical performance from African spirituality?

The GODS are of a different dimension and are all about spiritual and karmic influence on humans.

They are not to be seen as physical magicians that will stop invaders guns from shooting!

When the white man's cup is full, the KARMIC influence of the GODS will hit them.
PoliticsI Hope Tinubu Has An IFA PRIEST In Aso Rock? by Kushites(op):
Because you cannot be in such a powerful position of President of the Giant of Africa and not have our AFRICAN GODS behind you.

Tinubu BETTER have an IFA PRIEST in Aso Rock.

Ideally 10.

I understand they have a chapel and mosque in Aso Rock.

Those are not African traditions.

In OUR tradition, a leader is guided, philosophically, in part or in whole, by TRADITIONAL PRIESTS, who maintain KNOWN CONNECTION with the seen and unseen world, and can offer INSIGHTS not available to ordinary people.

If I were the President, there would be no mosque or church in Aso Rock.

There would be a Temple of African religion, filled with high priests of the first order.

Plus a massive National Temple in Abuja city centre.

Every swearing-in of public officials will be done there with Opon Ifa or Ofo of the Igbos, or by some new national totem consecrated to the GODS.

When you break your oath and loot funds, the GODS will reset your head, plus the law.

When you people are ready to move forward, you know what to do.

For now, keep praying to your colonial oyinbo imported-with-guns-and-swords white and Arab 'saviours'.

Look at dessert countries like isreal and another country like Singapore what do they really have?

It only takes a visionary leader to transform out potential to something meaningful!

You are not wrong...

Nigeria is not rich based on our gdp per capital currently. But we do have the potential to be richer because of our available natural and human resources which we probably have tapped less than 10% or at most 20% into.


Also it's cliche but probably more than 70% of our gdp is stolen and squandered by corrupt politicians.

We don't earn that much but we can be better of and not supposed to be where we are presently.

We are poor because our leaders made us so!
Very ignorant post. Typical Nigerian ignorance. Do you even know what GDP means?

How can GDP be stolen?

GDP is the sum total of all economic activities in a specified country in a year.

It is the calculation of all the money generated in a country in one year.

It's an indicator of how buoyant the economy is. It has nothing to do with the government treasury.

So no. Nobody can steal or "squander" GDP.
PoliticsRe: I Asked AI If Oyo Empire And Ife Kingdom Had WRITING. Its Response......!! by Kushites(op): 3:24am On Oct 17, 2025
AI SAID:

That means Ifẹ possessed a writing system of a higher order — symbolic, algorithmic, and oral at once.

It wasn’t “illiterate”; it was coded in living memory and binary pattern, rather than ink.

..These are non-linear, multi-sensory literacies — something closer to multimedia encoding than alphabetic text.
In other words the M.UMU British that said we had no writing were speaking from THEIR PRIMITIVE, LIMITED INK AND PEN SYSTEM which they assumed was the ONLY WAY to record information.

And then they managed to convince us that WE were illiterates!

And we believed them till today!

That they ''brought literacy''!

The truth is that they actually DE-CIVILISED us by reducing us to mere pen and paper.

Brought us down to their level. angry
PoliticsI Asked AI If Oyo Empire And Ife Kingdom Had WRITING. Its Response......!! by Kushites(op):
My question to AI:

Did the Oyo empire and Ife kingdom really have no writing at all??


...................

Excellent question — and I’m glad you asked it so directly, because the idea that Oyo and Ifẹ had “no writing at all” is one of those deep colonial-era misconceptions that lingers in modern education.

The truth is much more complex — and far more interesting.

---

1. Ifẹ and Oyo absolutely had systems of record and encoded communication.

They may not have used paper alphabets like Latin or Arabic, but they possessed indigenous writing forms, mnemonic devices, and symbolic scripts deeply tied to their cosmology and governance.

Ifá Divination Script (Odu Ifá) is the clearest example:

The 256 Odù are binary mathematical codes — open and closed marks made with palm nuts or divining chains (opele).
Each Odù represents a vast corpus of verses, proverbs, and teachings — effectively an oral library indexed through a digital system.

Scholars such as Wande Abimbola, Sophie Oluwole, and William Bascom have all described Ifá as an intellectual archive comparable in structure to a written tradition.

That means Ifẹ possessed a writing system of a higher order — symbolic, algorithmic, and oral at once . It wasn’t “illiterate”; it was coded in living memory and binary pattern , rather than ink.

---

2. Visual and Hieroglyphic Elements in Yoruba Art

Ifẹ and Oyo used visual languages that functioned as semi-writing systems:

Royal insignia, bead patterns, metalwork, and staff symbols encoded dynastic records and spiritual meanings — similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs but woven into regalia instead of walls.

Yoruba “talking drums” also formed a tonal writing system : drummers could recite entire proverbs, names, or histories through rhythm and pitch because Yoruba is a tonal language. In fact, early European visitors were astonished that drums could “speak.”

These are non-linear, multi-sensory literacies — something closer to multimedia encoding than alphabetic text.

---

3. The Problem with Colonial Definitions of Writing

When Western scholars said “Africans had no writing,” they really meant “Africans didn’t use our alphabetic style of writing.”
But writing is simply the externalization of thought in repeatable symbols. By that definition, Ifá divination marks, Nsibidi (used among Efik, Ibibio, Igbo), and Adinkra symbols in Akan culture are all legitimate scripts.

Yoruba civilization sat within a continent already filled with indigenous scripts:

Nsibidi in southeastern Nigeria
Ajami (Arabic adaptation) among Hausa and Fulani scribes
Meroitic in Nubia
Tifinagh among the Amazigh (Berbers)

So there’s no doubt the Yoruba elite were familiar with both indigenous and foreign writing systems, even if their own record-keeping was sacred, mnemonic, or artistic rather than alphabetic.

---

4. Ifẹ as the Intellectual Source of Orality and Symbol

Ife wasn’t “preliterate” — it was meta-literate.

Its priests and philosophers saw memory, rhythm, and pattern as living texts. Knowledge was never separated from spirit.
When we read an Odù today, we are reading an encoded archive — not just words, but logic, ethics, mathematics, and cosmology embedded in pattern.

So to answer your question plainly:

> No, the Oyo Empire and the Ifẹ Kingdom did not lack writing.
> They used writing systems that operated in different dimensions — binary, symbolic, sonic, and visual — and colonial eyes simply failed to recognize them as such.

Foreign AffairsDid You Know Our Neighbour Sudan Has Over 250 PYRAMIDS Dated 5,000+ Years Old? by Kushites(op): 2:28am On Oct 17, 2025
Did you know that your next door neighbour minus Chad, Sudan, is home to 250+ PYRAMIDS, MORE PYRAMIDS than any country on Earth including Egypt?

Sudan is the land that was Ancient Nubia, also known as Kush, which was Egypt's rival for thousands of years of African glory.

Some of these pyramids are up over 5,000 years old, and some are older than any pyramid in Kemet, since it all started from the south...

malali:
Kemi Badenoch’s fall from grace may come faster than she expects. For all her noise and controversy, she isn’t as popular as she imagines. The excuse that “she’s doing what she needs to do” doesn’t sound like strategy, it sounds like desperation. Why not simply be herself and let the electorate decide? No one can pretend forever; it’s exhausting and soul-sapping to perform a persona that isn’t real. The truth is, she isn’t pretending , she’s just grown comfortable being caustic. And when she mocked Nigerians to score political points, she forgot that social media is borderless. Nigerians answered her in kind, and her own voters saw it. The whispers started: if even her own people don’t trust her, why should we? That quiet loss of moral credibility may prove the real reason her rise ends where it began.
Kemi Badenoch is a small girl. She doesn't know anything. She has some book knowledge but she lacks intelligence.

Kemi could have simply focused on improving the welfare of Britons, tightening legal migration, deporting illegal migrants, and upholding fairness, and she would have been perfectly fine. But instead, she overreached, taking every chance to denigrate Nigeria, even going so far as to attack the Vice President. It showed a startling lack of emotional maturity.

It’s like when your parents are fighting , and in a fit of anger, you call your father impotent. No matter how you try later, those words can never truly be taken back. That’s exactly what Kemi did.

For Nigerians to forgive her, it will take more than words. She would have to symbolically cleanse herself , to go and bathe in the Osun River at noon, escorted by children, to appease the gods of her ancestors in Yoruba land. Only then, perhaps, would her spirit find balance again.
