Lol.

When they say that HIV incidence is a certain percentage in a State,do you think everyone living in the state was tested?

A sample is taken,a sizeable sample and the result extrapolated.

So be assured,this is a rough reflection of the society we live in.

Are they not talking about people that approached them for tests?. They did not say they randomly tested the population

MaxInDHouse:
Every human being is a farm for a spirit according to my IFA research.
You yourself are a God is the gist. We are all Gods.
So why separate Humans from Gods since all of us are Humans and Gods?

Humans are incarnations of Gods. They are owned by Gods. There is still a small difference. As you are here on Earth, your spirit owns you but it is still a God going about its business in heaven

donbenie:
Na today you dey hear say Naija is the headquarter of Paternity fraud in the whole Universe?
Maybe all of the reports are one big giant Conspiracy?

But the data is talking about people who conducted the test and not the general population. The percentage of paternity fraud in the general population will be much lower

MaxInDHouse:
Wahala Yaaaso!
800billion Gods.
OK.
But why they are more than humans?
Àbí they don't care about worship?
If they do, how many worshipers are there to worship 60 billion deities?

You people just fabricate whatever you want to criticize the Bible, later you will start questioning what is written in the Bible.

Is this what your ifá revealed to you?

Please how come the number of deities is more than that of supposed worshipers or you have suddenly forgotten the meaning of the word gods?

I said over 60 billion not 80 billion. Every human being is a farm for a spirit according to my IFA research.
Your own spirit is the one that you should first worship as it is the owner of you then you have ancestors whose spirits are interested in your progress because they can incarnate in future as your kid or descendant.
In heaven all spirits are peers and therefore they are all Gods but they cooperate with each other in different ways. You yourself are a God is the gist. We are all Gods

frog12:
i see. that makes sense.
the appearance na dna.
the soul na supernatural

but why spirits go wan tinker with how the child look? for what reason?

To make it resemble the father now

frog12:
what is this suppose to mean? so the child no go look like the man wey cheat on the wife?

the statistics no make sense.

Even if the child looks like another man it will still be the husband's ancestors.
However spirits can even tinker with how the child will look

We have over sixty billion spirits and they are Gods.

If your culture does not have an inbuilt theology then it is not a complete human culture. All cultures have theology and that theology can be upgraded from time to time just like language is. To discard everything for what one foreigner brought to you is very inappropriate. It is a disservice to humanity. Also all cultures have always contained people who are not idolatrous. It is not an innovation of Judaism, Christianity or Islam. That is just normal. There is a popular Olofin in Yoruba history called Olofin Adeja who was notorious for never following the directives of priests. He will always neglect to do ebo or sacrifice. He differed from Muslims and Christians because he was not at loggerheads with those who worship deities.
What is important is for all societies or cultures to make it a point of duty to not allow the stereo typing of God as a hater of Idolaters. God hates only evil and not Idolaters. This is where the line must be drawn and it needs to be drawn urgently. According to my research using the IFA oracle there are over sixty billion spirits and heaven is the civilization of spirits. Around half of these spirits have incarnation experience and are always either on an incarnation or queuing up to start an incarnation in a line they have rights in. Those spirits that have no incarnation yet have no special interest in being incarnated. They are satisfied with surviving on the handouts they get from other spirits and the God grid. They are like soldiers too because they have to work for food. They can also be killed by human actions. The primary purpose of being incarnated is to harvest spirit food for sustenance in heaven. According to IFA, if your life is filled with good deeds, a life of just one hundred years can harvest five thousand years food for heaven but at least you will be able to harvest food that will last you in heaven the same number of years you spent on Earth.
Spirits with no incarnation (light spirits) consume only fifteen percent of the food consumed by spirits with incarnation (heavy spirit). When you are on an incarnation you will still be existing as a spirit in heaven with the appetite of a light spirit and going about your business there.
All spirits in heaven are peers because there is no spirit lording it over other spirits but you are supposed to pay ten percent of the food you harvest to the God grid via a primary protector. The God grid is made up of five percent heavy spirit and ninety five percent light spirits. All primary protector spirits have male incarnations while God grid spirits have female incarnations. The head of the God grid is a heavy spirit whose last incarnation is female.
All these spirits help people on Earth and there is nothing wrong in worshipping them.
In reality there are over sixty billion Gods and your spirit is one of them. The spirits of your ancestors are also Gods. People on Earth can call upon any spirit including those of prominent ancestors and it will go out of its way in concert with other spirits to help them.
According to IFA, apart from these spirits there are no other entities interfering in our Earth. No Allah.
Spirits give birth to other spirits when they win a confrontational debate against another spirit. The gestation period for a debate is two years. If you try to kill someone unjustly, the spirit of the person will give birth immediately and the offender will go down one step in empathy rank and if you go down the last of six ranks you will die as a spirit and as a human on Earth. That is the only way heavy spirits die. You will also give birth to another spirit as well as rise in empathy rank if you make an articulate submission like in a completed PhD.
There is heaven and it is a splendid civilization. Earth is a farm where spirits come to harvest food. There is no hell and the only repercussion for evil doing is that you will if you continue be knocked out of the reincarnation cycle and existence in heaven and the benefit of doing good is that you will exist forever. The benefit of existing forever is that you will always come back to Earth to be pursuing the same objectives, building the same things etc.

According to research I did with the IFA oracle, irrespective of who impregnated the woman it is the ancestors of the husband that will determine who incarnates in the child. However if a man is maltreating the woman the spirit of the woman will not allow his line to incarnate even if he owns the biology.

Oduduwa and Ile Ife

The title of Oduduwa was Olofin Aiye. Aiye means Earth and Olofin is a variant of Alaafin. It can mean the owner of perfection or the owner of the perfect place or palace. According to my research using the IFA oracle, there was actually a global world and Oduduwa was the first ruler of this world. A global world just means all lands on Earth were aware of each other and they cooperated under a leadership.
The Yoruba calendar is the most ancient on Earth at 10067 in 2025 AD but my IFA research says the global kingdom is even far more ancient than that.
However the Oduduwa that started the current dynasty ruling in Yoruba land came comparatively recently and not over ten thousand years ago as is evident from the number of his successors. He was according to my ifa research, a prince from Egypt who came with an entourage and was recognized by priests here as an incarnate of the first Oduduwa. The first Oduduwa landed on Earth from space. IFA said Egypt was established over five thousand years ago by people from Ife and that is why present day Yoruba language is more than fifty percent Kemitic Egyptian by vocabulary. Words like suegbe (fool), Ika (evil) and etc are words used in Kemitic Egypt which if spoken I believe will sound similar to Yoruba dialects like Ijesa or Itsekiri today.
The new Egyptian Oduduwa told people in Ile Ife that he was a son or descendant of Nimrod (Lamurudu). What this means obviously is that he was physically descended from a dynasty in Egypt with links to Sumeria. Nimrod was the first King of post flood Sumeria and he himself was described as King of the world in history. How then can the new Oduduwa also be a descendant of the founding Kings of Egypt that would have come from Ile Ife?. According to IFA, when you kill somebody in war, the spirit of the killed person will incarnate in your family within three days. It will displace any spirit in a pregnancy that is not up to thirty days old. The invaders from Sumeria or so killed an Egyptian noble man and his spirit was incarnated in their family as a person of noble birth. That person was recognized in Ile Ife as an incarnate of Oduduwa but he saw himself as a son or descendant of Nimrod of Sumeria as he was brought up and he passed the information to his children hence the name Lamurudu in Yoruba history. Lamurudu is not venerated as a Yoruba deity and is obviously not a Yoruba ancestor.
In the beginning, all Kings on Earth recognized and protected the Olofin Aiye and the title was Olofin Aiye at the time but things changed over time and new kingdoms arose all over that did not reckon with the Olofin. In the past thousands of years the Olofin Aiye has only been recognized by a few states in a small corner of West Africa and he was under the protection of more powerful states, he was no longer an emperor and was given the new title of Ooni by the kingdoms protecting him.
There are a number of King of the world stories around the world from China to Sumeria but there is no other place apart from Yoruba land where surrounding states traditionally protect a smaller state saying it is representing the first capital of the world. Owu was destroyed by other Yoruba states for attacking Apomu an Ife town. Owu was at one point more powerful than Oyo. There is therefore an authenticity to the story. So far Yoruba history is concerned the first King of the world was Oduduwa.

bamosagie:
Ask any yoruba man the neaning of Oduduwa and he wont have an answer, this is because Oduduwa is what the people of Ife called the young prince who was hiding under the alias Izoduwa (they couldnt pronouce Izoduwa so they called him Oduduwa). The prince organised their warriors and defended the kingdom from external agressors and he was made king in return.
Izoduwa, a prince from the acient land of Benin was originally known as Ekaladerhan... who was on the run for his life hence needed to be Identified by an alias. He was royalty, a prince, the son of a king; hence cannot be the first king in the world.

Oduduwa means the Odu that created Iwa. The story is in ofun meji in the IFA corpus. It is the name of Olodumare. It means he whose conduct or act can not be questioned. The person can always defend himself. A perfect person.

Oduduwa according to Yoruba history was the first Olofin Aiye the ruler of the Earth. Some other cultures have a name for the same individual but we must note that the Yoruba calendar is the most ancient 10067th year this 2025 AD

SkengRay:
Alright Thanks. I actually have understanding about it. I was just looking for more insight.

Corporate readings involve cooperation of spirits.

SkengRay:
@lawani Chief please can you explain Oworinsogbe

Owonrinsogbe can mean many things for instance it can mean there is an agreement to make you exceptional and it can mean there is an agreement to make things very difficult for you or for someone.
What should I do to him?
Join hands to make him exceptional or join hands to make things difficult for him

What is the prospects of this person?
They will become exceptional because of helpers.

What can I do?
Agree with the exceptional person
Agree to make things difficult for someone.

Owonrin is exceptionality or difficulty while Ogbe is alignment.

DrMuzungu:
If you are in Houston, go to the local H.E.B. supermarket and for $60 you will find ingredients to feed you for a week. Not richly, but you wont starve. However, if you want to go to an eatery because you can't cook, it is your problem.

Is food that expensive in the USA?. Sixty dollars will feed you for more than a month in Nigeria if you cook

Konquest:
Interesting insights on the historical accendancy of the USD since the Gold Standard was abolished to pave way for the Petrodollar-based global economy.

One of the major downsides of the USD being a global reserve currency is that whenever the United States Federal Reserves increases interest rates, especially with the horrendous global economic downturn from the early 1980s during the former President Shehu Shagari years, it causes recessions in multiple countries and these countries started defaulting in their loan payments which were tied to the USD from international creditors.

So, these sequence of events led to dire global geopolitical consequences such as military coups in countries located in Africa (including Nigeria), Latin-America and more to effect regime changes and that ushered in more corruption and regional instabilities from these military dictatorships and more.

That is why it is a free market. Interest rates normally follow inflation rate. If inflation is high, interest rates will be higher. What obtains presently is a free market and if the US fed is not ethical the dollar will lose its edge. I think it is OK the way it is.

ElSudani:
Not exactly at gun point but it was a whole lot of pressure from the Americans. And it was not because of convenience but because it offers a whole lot of advantages for the Americans mainly because the Gold standard came to an end. It was actually very important to the American dollar and the American economy.

My submission pointed out that the effect on the economy is negligible. By how much a year is the whole 2.5 trillion dollars in circulation inflated?. If other countries don't need such to be prosperous the US too don't need it but international traders need a good currency to use to facilitate trade. The benefit a year to the US will be like fifty billion dollars out of government revenue exceeding 7 trillion dollars

ElSudani:
But in what currency are other commodities traded now in the world? Once you put a system in place and everyone is using it then it becomes normal. So, if you export or import oil which is done in dollars you are more like to ask for the familiar currency when you want to buy or sell your cocoa.

Our bone of contention is was it forced?. I said No it was not. It became the standard practice because it was more convenient for everybody

ElSudani:
US was a dominant economy in this period but that didn't exactly translate into the dollar being the dominant trading currency.
The most traded commodity in the world both in volume and in value is crude oil. So, go figure.

It is still a fraction of the total. If exporters don't choose one currency to be collecting their jobs will be more difficult

ElSudani:
That is a lie, the dollar supremacy started with the oil crisis in the 70s when the US economy was badly affected by oil OPEC oil embargo.
Herry Kissinger arm twisted the Saudis into making the dollars the only currency for oil transactions.
What you should be interested in is why and not if it happened.

What was happening between 1945 and 1973?. Oil trade after all is a fraction of global trade. On the overall, majority of international traders are collecting dollars and nobody forced them though some barter is going on

ElSudani:
All the threats going towards the BRICS is because of the fear of losing that dominance.
There's are reason the United States made the dollar the currency of foreign trade.
They didn't exactly work for it. It was through a mix of coercion and arm twisting.

The US did not make the USD the currency of international trade. Till today and since the end of the second world war the largest economy with the lowest inflation is the USA. Traders chose the USD by themselves.

I wish I had learnt IFA divination earlier

Why the USA deserves the US dollar dominance.

What the US gains from the US dollar dominance is what every country gains from quantitative easing which is extra revenue for government to spend as a result of printing more currency by the central bank but the benefit is marginal. I even consider it insignificant. The USA does not need it. It is however a plus. Depending on the volume of US dollars outside the US, the US will gain from quantitative easing as if the population of the country were greater. Several estimates exist online. Some say the USD outside US territory is 45 percent of total, some say it is 23 percent and I have heard of over 50 percent. If outside to inside is 50/50 then the US is gaining from quantitative easing as if her population were well over 600 million and that would be the only benefit. The higher the population collecting your legal tender or the higher the volume in circulation the more the country can gain from quantitative easing. The total volume of US dollar in circulation is about 2.5 trillion dollars and what you can print for QE per annum must be a negligible percentage of that. The US government revenue in 2025 across all the tiers of government is over 7 trillion dollars per annum I believe. This is why I say the benefit in the quantitative easing on the 2.5 trillion dollars in circulation is pretty much insignificant for the USA. All governments have to engage in QE for currency management because if they do not, currency will become scarcer due to losses and population increase. I have seen video footages of Nigerian yahoo boys flushing wads of naira notes down a toilet to flaunt affluence. There are many other avenues by which currency move out of circulation and if your money supply is stable or decreasing as a country amidst rising population, there can be a kind of distortion as prices of goods will be forced down. There will be deflation.
Then as it stands today, the US dollar is a facility for international trade. Without this facility, international trade will have to be by barter along with its clumsiness. Nobody is forcing anybody to transact in the US dollar but it makes international trade much easier and it is a reliable store of value. As a result of this, Chinese, Indians, Yoruba and etc are happy to transact in it. Nobody is happy to transact in the naira for instance unless at gunpoint because it is not a good store of value.
Then once again, the US does not need the advantage to be prosperous since other nations have been prosperous without having the advantage. However one nation has to take it up and the USA has worked for it. I am an Ijesa man for instance and Ijesa is a Yoruba sub nation that has been around for over a thousand years. It rose from the ruins of more ancient Yoruba nations like Erinmoje that is now defunct. Before the modern era, we bought and paid for our sovereignty in blood and further bled to sustain it. There is a long list of wars. In the past two hundred years alone there have been Pole, Fejeboju, Kiriji and many others. There was no United Nations security council or US military bases scattered around the world to stop nations from going to war against each other but nowadays nation building has become like going to a party for those who want to build their nations at least as far as peace is concerned. It is therefore a Pax Americana that we are enjoying paid for by US tax dollars.
The USA is the capital of the modern world and printing the currency for international trade is just a fringe benefit that they worked for or which came with it.
However in the new world of equality that we are fighting for, the bill for security must be picked by all in a jointly funded United Nations

What makes a good Babalawo?.

According to my IFA research, what makes a good Babalawo is also what makes a good human being and it is the quality of the spirit. A spirit has two qualities from which the overall quality of the human is derived. The first is the God like managerial ability which in IFA parlance is Iwori odi. According to my research there are eight levels and you are due for promotion after every third incarnation until you become fully mature. A fully matured spirit in this quality can be a primary protector if male. A primary protector collects ten percent of the food harvested from Earth incarnations by the protectees. If female, it can enter the God grid which is the coordinating force for heaven and Earth. A term in the God grid is three hundred years.
The second quality is the empathy rank or Oturupon Obara which is how an individual responds to emergencies in others. There are six ranks from the top to bottom. You rise by doing good or winning confrontational debates and drop by doing evil or losing confrontational debates. A drop from the last rank means death both on Earth and in heaven. The spirits at the top rank have times ten of the appetite for spirit food that normal spirits have. They are voracious consumers of spirit food that we all come to harvest on Earth during incarnations.
Now, the best Babalawos are ones who are at the top of both Iwori odi (God like managerial ability) and Oturupon Obara (Empathy rank). They are of impeccable character.

CoronaVirusPro:
No interest!

That’s the plus of that comes with all these Islamic banks

They charge administrative fees on money and also share in profits. It is more or less the same thing

It should be a jailable offense to pay anyone below the minimum wage

CoronaVirusPro:
Educate yourself. Power generation is not the foundation of our power issue. It is transmission. As it stands today, we can’t even transmit all we generating. So building more power plant is out of the picture.

If you consider we have less than thirty or so power plants when a nation like the US has over three thousand we may say generation is also an issue. There should be thousands of power plants in the country. There should be no city without one. As they are built, the transmission infrastructure will be added

bigpicture001:
How did Arabs turn to Palestinians...?

U are indirectly saying Arabs who are migrants ND appears from no where now owns Palestine...?

It is just like saying Egyptians are Arabs when scientists say they are over 70 percent descended from Egyptians of five thousand years ago who were not Muslims and spoke no Arabic. Palestinians are not Arabs by descent, they are only so culturally. They are their own people. Descended from the mix I mentioned

bigpicture001:
Bias write up... Did the world start from the Nineteenth century for u to claim Palestine have the land..?

Jews have an historical claim but the land has been under the ownership of non Jews for centuries. Even during Bible times the non Jews were there. Galilee was called Galilee of the Gentiles for instance. The present Palestines are definitely descendants of Philistines who scholars say were a Greek people, Jews, Romans, Turks, Persians and etc and they have their own national identity. There were also Jewish indigenes in Palestine as well as Samaritans.
The problem is you can't just expel people from their land because your ancestors controlled part of it 2000 years ago. It is not acceptable in the modern world

The struggle between Israel and Palestine

There should be a UN brokered deal between Palestine and Israel. If Yoruba groups like Ife and Modakeke that fought and killed each other some years ago can be living beside each other peacefully today then the same is possible between Palestine and Israel. Palestinians are insisting they have a right to all the land and it is understandable because it is their ancestral land which started passing into Jewish ownership in the late nineteenth century during the Ottoman empire era. However ownership by purchase does not necessarily translate to sovereignty but the Palestinians must also remember that if this were AD 70 we, as onlookers would have been pressing the Romans to let the exiled Jews return to their land just like we are pressing the Israeli government to let the exiled Palestinians return today. Jews performing the aliyah today inherited their refugee status from ancient times and Palestinians have refugee status from 1948. It must be noted that the desert in Israel today is not a no man’s land just like it was not during the nineteenth century. There is no no man’s land anywhere in the world.
I believe the Israeli government should reach an agreement with the Palestinians as per how many people they can allow to return so that at least some people can return. It is however not easy to form one state for all presently on the land but it can be possible to form a de facto one state similar to the European Union with both Palestinians and Israelis not requiring visas to live and work in both countries while they will only be able to vote where they have citizenship.
If this will work then onlookers that want peace must find ways to monetarily compensate the Palestinians who are the only people to lose part of their ancestral home land in the twentieth century. The era of driving people off their land has passed and if there is going to be an excuse for the Israeli nation then the aggrieved party i.e. the Palestinians should be compensated.

Scandinavia and communism

How financially well off you are is directly related to how many workers you are leading. In the olden days it will be the size of your household including slaves, offsprings and etc. A business owner leading one hundred workers should be more financially well off than one leading fifty workers. However there are outliers in form of people who get wealthy without leading a lot of workers like sports stars or musicians but more often than not, your net worth is tied to the number of workers in your organization as a business owner. The real worth of a corporation no matter the sector of the economy it is operating in is also tied to the number of workers.
The aim of the government on its part should be to make sure the lowest paid workers can afford to live above poverty after paying tax and that nobody, whether employed or not, is left behind. The government should never fix minimum wage only because they want to help workers but also because they want to take personal income taxes from it. Minimum wage workers should not be tax exempt. That way everybody can be assured of a high quality of life no matter their income or circumstances. Under such circumstances, entrepreneurship will be like missionary work because you can only gain a little extra as an entrepreneur. It is the communism that we have been searching for and the closest societies to it on Earth today are the Scandinavian countries. Captains of industry in Scandinavia are doing more of serving the nation because they don't have much extra that they are gaining. It is how the whole world should be.

orisa37:
NO. THE JEWS WERE NOT RIGHT. AND GOD IS STILL PUNISHING THE JEWS TILL TODAY FOR THAT SINGULAR CRIMINALITY.

If anybody today were to say 'I am God' or I and God are one and etc you would probably consider the person a megalomaniac or a mental case or an apostate. Why do you think Jesus should be different?.

budaatum:
I think you want to live in a dreamy imaginary world.

Your "three thousand dollars per annum household income" is some people's monthly rent in some countries, especially the dollar country. More dreamy is it sounds like you don't want to earn enough or afford anything since useful gadget makers wouldn't pander to your very low wage, unless your gadget is a simple ordinary spanner.

You can't use Nigeria to determine costs everywhere else. In UK, a Nigerian Guinness is about £4, a small yam is 2 for £5-£7, and 3 plantains is £1.50. A UK doctor earns £32,398 to £70,425 per annum, and a qualified UK teacher's pay generally ranges from £31,650 to £60,092. Average rent for a 3-bedroom house in the UK is around £1,344 per month, while the average sale price for a 3-bedroom house in the UK is around £326,491.

Do the maths.

What I mean is that rent especially for beginners is usually about ten percent of household income and definitely building materials are similarly priced all over the world and there is no need for there to be discrepancy in rent if not that the real estate sector in high income countries is over bloated in size. They need to address that. It was not like that fifty years ago
