Religion / Re: How To Control The Religionists by lawani: 8:44pm On Sep 21 |
budaatum:Why?. Is there any other solution?. Religion started with Christianity two thousand years ago and what it added to us are new reasons to.hate, fight and kill each other in the public. Don't you think it should recline out of public spaces? The foolishness that started one day will.end one day 1 Like 1 Share |

Politics / Why I Don't Do Afro Centrism by lawani: 8:06pm On Sep 21 |
I do not subscribe to dividing people into black and white because it does not align with Yorubaness or even basic common sense. I don't do Afrocentrism or pan Africanism because there are tens of millions of white Yorubas by origin in the New world. They have no other origin. It does not align with basic common sense because DNA tests will show that East Africans are not more related to west Africans than they are to Europeans |

Kobojunkie:To go around and get enough people to sign is expensive. Do you think it is a straight forward thing?. Lagos is part of Nigeria and Lagos is different. There are good results in Lagos. They have a robust civil service and improving infrastructure. Therefore when condemning Nigeria, remember Lagos is different is what I mean |

Kobojunkie: It is a very expensive exercise. Then Nigeria is as it should be. If the country were organized with tax collection it would be different. As bad as things are, Lagos is different |
Religion / How To Control The Religionists by lawani: 7:43pm On Sep 21 |
There is no other way to control the rampaging religionists than to legally kick them out of the public space. Their practice is not compatible with the progress of humanity and they should practice in private because of that while children are taught in schools that God is a gentleman 1 Like |

Culture / Approach IFA Carefully by lawani: 9:51am On Sep 20 |
Approach IFA carefully When we are dealing with the spirit realm, we should be well aware that we are dealing with intelligent beings that can appraise us. There is a story in Obara Oyeku (Obara inaki) that illustrates this position. Story A certain man who was doing well by all means decided to approach IFA to ask for still more blessings. On getting to the priest, he made his prayers silently and the priest used IFA to determine what his prayers was. Obara Oyeku appeared to the priest. Since he was very comfortable financially, the priest told him to offer as ebo his only horse before a certain date. The man was not happy as he did not want to let go of his only horse. He refused to give up the horse to the priest and he subsequently died after the deadline. The horse he did not want to give up was what his children sold to raise money to bury him. The lesson in the story is that we can work hard and plan but we should not let only financial well being or prosperity be our main motivation. Our ambition should be to solve societal problems and not to be billionaires when we are already millionaires |

New odus of IFA, September 19 2024 Otura Osa It is only ingrates that bite the finger that feeds them. This was the IFA cast for the people that left all the sacrifices of their ancestors for them to be claiming Jesus Christ died for them. They were advised to sacrifice.

Oturupon Owonrin The desire of God is whatever I lay down. This was the IFA cast for Prophet Mohammed styled the last Prophet who said we must always pass through his Quran to reach God. He was advised to sacrifice. He listened but did not comply. On looking people of Po and Offa!. God is available to and reachable by all human beings whether or not you believe in Prophet Mohammed. Ogunda Otura Madness can only be cured with commensurate madness. This was the IFA cast for the Yoruba people who accepted the two competing religions in equal proportion. They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied. Onlooking people of Po and Offa!. When you have a mix of Christians and Muslims in a family, they will know intuitively that the division is not authored by God. Irete Osa Bi a ba dagba tan se ni a nyo Ogun ja.

Ika Irete The King can not go outside his territory to collect taxes. This was the IFA cast for the Babalawo that will never cross boundary to Osanyin territory. He was advised to sacrifice He listened and complied On looking people of Po and Offa!. IFA is purely academic and anything added to make it look like magic is Osanyin. IFA is not more than spiritual advise followed by ebo. Ogunda Irete This woman is attractive, I can not wait an extra day. This was the IFA cast for Prophet Mohammed who slept with the wife of a Jewish chief on the same day he killed her husband and burnt down their home in war. Note The story is one of the many stories in the hadith written by the companions of the Prophet that shows clearly that the Prophet is not the best of mankind. Ogbe Ofun Revenue should determine a constituency’s representation in government if cost of living in different constituencies are the same. Irete Ika A family once formed should not be disbanded.

Religion / Who Died For You?. by lawani: 6:52pm On Sep 18 |
Who died for you?. As Americans, there are people who died for the nation against Britain while fighting for independence and during the civil war and subsequent military engagements around the world. We know those who died for the IJESA nation throughout the centuries of existence of the nation. Poole war, Fejeboju war, Kiriji war and etc. Those who died for the Yoruba nation willingly in Nigeria include people like Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, Colonel Victor Banjo and thousands of others during the civil war and after the state murder of Bashorun Abiola. It is an attack on the spirits of the true heroes to say Jesus Christ died for Americans, the IJESA or the Yoruba as a whole when we know those who actually died. Making the statement about Jesus Christ in public should not be encouraged in any nation. |
Nairaland / General / Re: Does The Color Of The Skin Determine The Degree Of Genetic Relationship? by lawani: 5:18pm On Sep 18 |
Thesmera:My whole point is that some light skinned people are more related to some non light skinned people than they are to other light skinned people and etc. Australian aborigines are more related to Europeans than they are to Africans despite being dark skinned. Yoruba might be more related to Germans than they are to East Africans and etc given the distance between them. We can not say genetic data is equal for everyone like you said. I hope you see my point |

Health / Re: 54-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide In Lagos by lawani: 8:33pm On Sep 17 |
Kobojunkie:Did any holy book or tradition say humans outnumber spirits?. In the olden days, a Yoruba city will.have more deities than human beings because each person will have a tutelary deity. |
Health / Re: 54-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide In Lagos by lawani: 8:24pm On Sep 17 |
Kobojunkie:What I am trying to say is that spirits outnumber humans and the supreme God is just one of them no matter the name you call it |
Health / Re: 54-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide In Lagos by lawani: 8:19pm On Sep 17 |
Kobojunkie: The deities of the Yoruba are Yoruba ancestors added to some natural things which we believe have resident spirits. Everything have resident spirits. Other people have their own ancestors. There is no culture without its own Ogun, Oya, Osun and etc that manifested in those ways when alive. People generally revere (worship?) the spirits of their ancestors world wide. There is no reason to leave your own ancestors and be propitiating other people's but religious people don't know this. When an Ur hobo person say Osanobua, I know it is Olodumare they speak of |
Health / Re: 54-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide In Lagos by lawani: 8:09pm On Sep 17 |
Kobojunkie:There are beings in heaven and God is their head. They have their own civilization. I think all cultures agree on that but some, starting with Jews believe only the supreme God should be worshipped and you should not say even hello to angels. The Yoruba have orisas who are just outstanding humans. After their death, their spirits are worshipped. God is not sacrificed to at all because no one knows its favorite food and the belief is that God is too distant. It will be like a pupil going over the head of the class teacher to report to the President |
Health / Re: 54-Year-Old Man Commits Suicide In Lagos by lawani: 7:54pm On Sep 17 |
Kobojunkie:All cultures have names for the supreme deity. Olodumare, Ubangiji, Allah, Chukwuabiama, Jehovah and etc. They are all referring to the same entity which is the Father God not five thousand different ones |

Culture / Re: New Odus Of IFA September 16 2024. by lawani: 7:13pm On Sep 16 |
HeatSeeker:It is not mechanical like that. When you use IFA, you are dealing with spirits and spirits are non material human beings. So far the Babalawo you know and acknowledge can teach you how he obtains his results, then it is scientific but relationship with spirits is not mechanical just like relationship with human beings is not. |
