Culture / Re: Ejire Ara Isokun! Where Exactly Is Isokun? by ladionline: 11:21pm On Apr 19, 2019 |
FOLYKAZE: Bro, you can't give a conclusion on a subject matter that you have not demonstrated any expertise. Please endeavour to share the stories you are alluding to in their original form sir. That done, you can then establish your authority as Yoruba folktale analyst with ease. And again, telling us what is "impossible" is like masking what is impossible to you as status quo, and infusing us with your "limitations" as "education". "Ogbon o pin sibikan", says Yoruba, what "shouldn't be deciphered literally" by you could be done by another person to arrive at the core message: oun to koju senikan, eyin lo ko selomii biilu gangan. And then the contradiction: how do one make sense in a message you can't decipher to come to the ultimate conclusion that a message is already passed across?
In Iwori Meji, ifa says and I quote: "Oro kii gbaaro, ka fi ale so, adia fun okoko niyele, ti yoo bani tule yiwo. Nigbati Olodumare seda eniyan sile aye, won o ribi gbe, nitori ogede omi lo kun ile aye" From the above, we see example of how to quote source to establish clear inference without interpolations of data from third party, not how to allege that somewhere a point in obscurity (evolution) was alluded to in a verse in obscurity (Ifa) making the inference deduced from both obscure sources a resounding fact. So, what is okokoniyele in the creation story above? In scientific analysis of data, Ifa and evolution did not become a fact, its analysis of the claims deduced from both school of thought that one harness to make a point: meanwhile, Ifa was actually alluding to reverse-evolution, where one of the twins became ape, not where ape became one of the twins. The verse being referred is Odu ejilaesebora. You can share the Ifa-evolution piece to buttress your point. So, by your standard, when osun was said to have become "aguntan" in Yoruba tradition, it means we branch out to those quadrupeds in evolution too? Just now you told us not to take the word of Ifa literally and that's exactly what you just do in a purposefully confusing way.
You are not an analyst, you are a reformer: you pick what others have shared and creates a brand new problem and produces a tailor-made solution to it.
Bro, you are a creative thinker. How do we get a valid traditional support for the Ogun who mould bones? I believe this is new. I think this claim is premeditated by a story you have created. And really, your story exposes your poor logic and scientific understanding. Calcium is Iron, iron is ogun? That's incredible. I don't know where you get that from, but its plainly wrong. Calcium is an element just like iron. For instance, Calcium has different mass number and atomic number which is different from iron. Calcium is calcium (Ca) and iron is iron (Fe). Both have different electronic configurations and their nuclear proton and neutron varies as well. Not the same in chemical property to start with. So, how could two different things still be the same thing? And the "ogun been refer to in creation story" itself looks familiar, its like plagiarizing the passage of the scripture revealed to Ezekiel about a place called "valley of dry bones". So the creation story simply resembles causing senew to cover those dry bones for ogun to take the credit. My bros, that's just another misconception of evolution. Please get your facts right bro. In your mind, Calcium is the building brick of life, how then you also alludes to evolution? I don't know how to harmonize this complex claims. If Calcium is the building brick of life as you have insinuated, then how did "calcium atom" evolve to "Calcium cell" or, how did an atom evolve to life? It takes a quantum leap for a mineral (calcium) to become organic (life) and you have some good explanations to make. Please don't always pretend like Ifa has all the answers and have saved you of all analytics, explanations and quotations you'll ever encounter anyday, once you say it says one thing or the other somewhere about something that you believe to be true. kindly endeavour to have a distinct voice of your own, Ifa is an achiever already, tryna achieve too. That's my 2 cents. Lest I forget, Ogun is said to be "god of iron" even though orisha is not parrallel to god, the Yoruba who introduce us to ogun says of him, lakaye, oshin mole. Which one of his praise evoke calcium that its important to ascribe calcium to Ogun? fixing two unlikely data together for a story and not quoting any valid, time tested tradition to buttress your claim is forgery and lying and deception for credits and reputation.
So, you did none of this analysis in all the treatise above? Talk of 'much ado about nothing'. None of your claims adds up traditionally or scientifically. 1 Like |

Culture / Re: The Republic Of Ireland Says “yes” To Same-sex Marriage Through A Popular Vote by ladionline: 11:31pm On May 30, 2015 |
When I was a kid, I do ask a lot of questions. In the village, hegoats will swamp on shegoat, kick the shegoat and make all sort of funny mouth-contour after smelling shit. After the shegoat has taken in, another shegoat sometimes do 'mock climbing' and the elders will tell us, 'stone the corrupt shegoat anytime it repeat that' So I asked the elder why? She said 'it would cause the pregnant goat miscarriage'. As a christian, I have come to realise the fact that the elders were trying to shield us off awareness of inordinate affection, and the animal that does that do it as mock sex. We have all done mock sex as kids I think, where you just become exited at something, only to grab your friend from the back and rock your pelvic against their buttocks. This I think is mock sex that animals do too, it has no throes of emotions attached to it. Gay is being initiated to same sex sex. If gay were born, all will be gay. I even have friends that say if I was a woman, they woda marry me cause I'm very patience |

YourMain: hello peep, watch out for smooth operators, do not let them put you off-guard, to be absorbed in their abomination. This fellow is a man. Let me tell you a story. This afternoon, I was walking towards the arena, I took some colon cleansing stuff and I was pressed. I knew how to get to a toilet, but it will be too late. So I saw a shrub somewhere and decide to do bush attack. It was so funny I had to enter "well-well" so as not to put other road users at offense. Believe me in that bush, I met a young man of my age there, I said O'boy, you have a company, I choose a place that is okay by me and quickly push. I was a bit relieved, then the next thing I saw was from short distance, the guy I saw at the other side began to jerk his manhood. I know at that moment I am at the wrong place. What! Immediately, I clean up and set to go. My instinct told me that this guy can be dangerous. So if anything, he can suddenly pound on me and defile me. That was what my mind told me. As I made to step out of the bush, I did not turn my back at him. I was facing him and he was doing the jerk without remorse, I adjust my jeans to the last buckle and the funny guy engage me in a chat: Guy: See I go watch blue film and the thing con dey worry me" Me: Okay? Guy: some people say my prick big, but me i no believe them. Me: E big, na true.(the guy took a bow at this with humility) Guy: But e no big reach one boy wey fvck me. Me: One boy fvck you? Guy: Yes, (then he gave me this sign ) At that very point I see myself in a strange world, and my mind told me I am chatting with 14 years in prison behind army cantonment. Immediately, i jumped out of the shrub to the road. That's how fools are always taken, they will lure you to their game with smooth talks, and at the end, you wont know where you miss your road from the right path. I wont have comment on this thread, but it was the last I read before the incident, see how the devil operates? Son, watch your back. |

Culture / Yoruba Birds Of Poetry by ladionline: 10:02pm On Mar 20, 2015 |
Agbe alahun alahun aro Aluko alahun alahun osun Lekeleke alahun alahun efun B’omo o lahun won a pe baba. From time immemorial, the Yoruba language has taken in a lot of nature into the building bricks of her linguistic structures. In the same vein, Yoruba has remarkable love for comparative descriptions of nature around them in form of opposites. Agbe, Aluko, Lekeleke are but birds of special beauty and natural significance with the Yoruba people and poets. So the Yoruba will say Agbe lo l’aro, aluko lo l’osun, lekeleke lo l’efun. This is implying the beauty of the feather that graces the birds that roam Yoruba skyline as from time immemorial. Early writers and commentators of the beauty of Yoruba homeland says “Yoruba contain many wonderful things, in it is found the bird called Babanga” -that is, the parrot. The parrot is known as Ayekooto in Yoruba. The name is indeed a thoughtful one. Ayekooto means ‘the world reject truth’. How forthright a notion! The Yoruba believes that the man that held to the truth may not have common mat to sleep on. The naming Ayekooto and the folktale of the Indians show that the Yoruba may have had a forgotten story behind the name of this beautiful bird. The story is told of the time that animals speak the language of man. A farmer was enticed by the Lorikeet and he brought in the bird to stay with him. The lorikeet speaks and understands the language of man. So she goes and come back with the man each time of the day. One fateful day, a buffalo belonging to the neighbor of the farmer wandered ro the farm of the lorikeet keeper. The farmer slays the buffalo, he smoke part and cook part of it and also kept what remains away in the farm. Not long after, the true owner of the buffalo came to the farm and asked his neigbour if his buffalo has wandered to his farm. No was the answer. Then the lorikeet began to talk: “My master slay the buffalo, he cook some and smoke some. He hid part away down there”. The owner of the buffalo summons the farmer to the judge after part of the meat was found where the lorikeet described. The lorikeet argued that his master killed the buffalo still, and the farmer asked that he be given a grace to defend himself the next morning. That night, the farmer took in the lorikeet under the cover and covered the bird’s housing with a shawl to make it look dark, and then he began to sprinkle water drip down on the lorikeet. He intermittently hit at the metal, giving the lorikeet an impression of rain and thunder. In the morrow, the judge was seated and all the community with them. They want to see how the case at hand ends, with the lorikeet being the principal witness. After the lorikeet has retwitted its line, the farmer said “People are you going to condemn me on the allegation of this unfortunate bird? If so, ask the bird what kind of night we had last night.” So the judge asked likewise, and the response of the lorikeet was that the rain fall and the thunder struck all night. Then the farmer said, “Is it on the account of this unfortunate thing that you will condemn me?” At this, the judge set the farmer free and banished the lorikeet from living among men, lest it should sow discord capable of setting people apart. As the bird flew into the forest, it came across parrot and found out that parrot too can speak the language of man. “Oh I see you too can speak the language of man”. The lorikeet says. “Man will find you and take you in, but never should you speak your own mind if you must co-habit with mankind, only mimic whatever he says.” And not many days afterwards, man found that the parrot could talk. They took home the bird just as the lorikeet has predicted. Also, they expected it to talk from its mind. But for as long as man has harbored the bird, it never says its mind, it only repeats few words that man says to it. This was just as it is said in Yoruba, Ayekooto. Happy weekend Nigeria. Stay blessed, God bless. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
