MaxInDHouse:but you agreed that what Jesus founded was a sect of Judaism and all kinds of people including tax collectors working for government followed him |
Odus of IFA, March 26 2025 Oturupon Owonrin When Adan (bat) is not available, we will use ombe for ebo. This was the IFA cast for Jesus Christ who because of the absence of a biological father in his life became the only son of God to himself and his followers. Oyeku Oturupon A father does not need the opinion of the newborn before caring and providing for it. This was the IFA cast for Akin Lawanson when a US led alliance protected him from over thirty assassination attempts starting from 2007 orchestrated by prominent people from Nigeria and Britain. He was advised to sacrifice He listened and complied Not long after Meet us where we celebrate victory like Ogun at the feet of Obarisa. Owonrin Irete The revenue drought in a rich country is what they indirectly desire. This was the IFA cast for the nation containing millions of people earning income while they are not taxed leading to low government revenue. They were advised to sacrifice They listened but they did not comply Iwori Ogbe When a path is the only way forward, we are duty bound to follow it. This was the IFA cast for some eminent Muslim leaders on the day they agreed with the plan of the rest of the world to bring an end to religion. They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied Not long after that Meet us where we celebrate victory like Ogun at the feet of Obarisa… Ogbe Oyeku It will always be there.. This was the IFA cast for the jobs within an economy that can not be exported. It was advised to sacrifice It listened and complied Onlooking people of Po and Offa! You can not take your head to a foreign country to barb. Otura Osa You can not use the same standard for God and men. This was the IFA cast for the religionist who fervently believes and preaches that God does what a level headed human being can never do by burning people in hell for unbelief and idolatry Owonrin Oturupon Our dream was the reality of our ancestors. This was the IFA cast for the descendants who can not replicate the success of their ancestors. Iwori Oturupon God is never tired of giving us fresh starts. This was the IFA cast for the Christian who believes the most hideous crimes can be forgiven by God upon asking. He was advised to sacrifice He listened but did not comply Onlooking people of Po and Offa! It is your victims that you offended that you should appeal to and not God. Iwori Oturupon I am the last of the greats This was the IFA cast for the ‘ last prophet’ who believed he is the last messenger of God. He was advised to sacrifice He listened but did not comply Onlooking people of Po and Offa! God do communicate with people every day. Ogunda Oturupon God is not impressed by those who abide by the law. They must also submit to the holy book. This was the IFA cast for the religionist who aim to convert people despite that they are already law abiding |
MaxInDHouse:OK but early Christians did not have such a rule |
MaxInDHouse:No. It was because he detested Gentiles. He once referred to Gentiles as dogs |
MaxInDHouse:By happenstance, a whole country or the leadership can get converted and then need to defend its territory or the regime. That was exactly what happened in Rome |
Aonkuuse:What autonomy is needed is real democracy at LG level so that opposition can win some seats. If they don't give you your allocation, you can always go to court. Then where the FG needs to step in is in not releasing allocations to states stifling democracy at LG level. Then there is no need for the FG to be conducting LG elections. States should continue. Let contestants go and gird their loins |
MaxInDHouse:When JW successfully convert a whole country and that country is threatened by war, we will see what will happen. I tell you we will back at the same scenario of catholicism. They are pacific now like the early Christians because they are not majority anywhere and have never had any territory to protect |
sonmvayina:JW in their outlook to life are more similar to early Christians than others but not necessarily doctrine wise |
MaxInDHouse:. The name of the man on whom Christianity was founded was not Jesus Christ. He was Isa bin Pantheras. No one was ever named Jesus Christ. The man was a Jewish nationalist who did not like Gentiles. He had no Gentile disciple and did not befriend them. He founded a Jewish sect not Christianity. It was Apostle Paul that started converting Gentiles that can be referred to as the founder. He founded something similar to JW. I agree on that. It was the Romans that founded the global thing we have today. They converted many at sword point and indoctrination took over |
Is Islam Arab culture?. People like saying Islam is the culture of Arabs when Arabs before Mohammed were no different from other people across the world. They had a chief deity called Allah and an uncountable other lesser deities just like the Yoruba for instance have Olodumare. Islam is like a mega sect of Christianity because Mohammed, because of his belief in the virgin birth and prophet hood of Jesus Christ was obviously converted by Christians including his first wife who was a Catholic. Islam happened when Mohammed added his own to what he got from Christians. It is not a culture of Arabs. Mohammed is not much different from the founders of the Mormon church or the Jehovah witness who all got Christianity from other people and created their own sects. How he is different from them may be that he led a fighting force or army when alive. What Mohammed added to Christianity are some cultures of his own people to make it easier to convert them. Thus was the foundation of Islam. |
MaxInDHouse:All cultures have spirituality imbued in them and asking for the best spirituality is like asking for the best language. Religion is when you hold God to a lower standard than your Earthly father. You say God is punishing unbelief and idolatry. That is not right. God can never do that |
MaxInDHouse:Well, I don't support your position that Jehovah witness which is your sect of Christianity is the only true way. Any holy book spirituality is a no no for me. |
MaxInDHouse:I am heartbroken that you support Christianity and Islam despite the division, rancour, hatred, killings and etc that they add to humanity |
MaxInDHouse:Yes we can win. However rightness of action is more important than probability of winning |
How they grew the IFA corpus. As an Oluwo or as an ardent student of IFA, when you are encountering a situation for the first time, you should do a mental exercise and determine the Odu IFA cast for it. That was how they operated in the olden days and grew the corpus to what it is today. Then there are stories of prediction by divination that came to pass exactly. It is a science. |
nedu666:It is possible if you set up your revenue collection agency properly. Enugu must have up to two million income earners amongst whom are billionaires, millionaires and average people. If you make an average of thirty thousand naira per head per month, that would be sixty billion naira monthly and you can make more. |
The President should be the highest paid position in the country. Lawmakers should not be paid by government at all but they can be paid by their parties |
This is commendable. If you have IGR, you will perform even if you are corrupt and your second term will be secure. Congrats to Enugu state |
Everyday365:There are many of us on Earth not happy about what religions have done to humanity and we are doing our best to out them. You are welcome to join the effort. Nobody will incur shortage as a result of doing the right thing |
Gabrielshow24:I beg your pardon, religions have holy books that must not be peer reviewed. They are therefore not scientific. Religion is the opposite of science. There is nothing new to expect from traditional spiritualities that are as old as language. Nothing new. We just need to reset our brains |
Gabrielshow24:Traditional spiritualities are scientific in their approach. They are not religions. Anything scientific can't be classed with Christianity and Islam that have holy books which must not be questioned or peer reviewed. Religion is a new word and it should apply only to anti science spiritualities ie Christianity and Islam. Religion started with Apostle Paul when he began preaching the beliefs of his sect of Judaism to Gentiles. All spiritualities preach morality and spirituality has been there since language was there |
Gabrielshow24:Before religions were invented, each nation had its own theology and they are peers of each other. No group was saying they are the only way and killing and hating over that. We just need to go back to those good old days and like I said, practitioners should belong to chartered bodies that have teachable methodology eg divination |
The minimum we should ask for while fighting against religion We that are fighting against the onslaught of religion on humanity must be clear about what we want. What we want should be the disestablishment of Christianity and Islam. They should not be allowed to own buildings and hire people. They have done enough harm to the society since Apostle Paul started preaching to Gentiles in the first century. All practicing spiritualists must belong to chartered bodies and have teachable methodology. Islam and Christianity have done enough harm and they should be swept into the dustbin of history. We should spread the mantra 'God is not against idolatry but only against evil doing'. A parent can never tell a child 'Never greet my subordinates'. |
People like comparing GDP to net worth. GDP is not comparable to net worth. GDP is like returns on investment. For something to have a GDP of 100 billion dollars then it maybe worth twenty times that if we assume 5 percent returns on investment |
If the thing is being done properly, there will be no need to waste money on population census. One thing that needs to be added is the deletion of dead people and that can be done by asking for NIN at mortuaries. |
I am not supporting the herdsmen but finding a way forward. The killing is no longer one way as over the past week, two cattle breeders leaders were assassinated by unknown gunmen in Kwara and plateau states. It is a case of aje ke Lana omo Ku Leni, tani KO mo Pe aje Ana lo pa omo je?. A witch screamed yesterday and a child died today, who needs to be told it is the witch of yesterday that ate the child?. One does not need to be told that some group of aggrieved farmers are taking vengeance on the herders. A way out must be fashioned out, otherwise the needless waste of lives will continue |
Let us end the bloodletting between herders and farmers. Killings by herdsmen followed by reprisals by farmers without any recourse to the police is now becoming the norm in Nigeria. It has become a vicious cycle with no end in sight and corpses are piling up. Everybody seem to know by now that ranching of cattle is the only way out to stop the unnecessary waste of lives but the gray area to be sorted out is where to site the ranches. It is clear by now that the people generally will not allow the federal or state governments to take over lands for distribution or allocation to herders. Whether in the North or the South, herders have to sort out themselves. We have indigent Fulani in Yoruba land for instance and they will find space or land in Yoruba land, North and South because they have always been there. It is the same way it should be for all Fulani. In fact, all of them can ranch their cattle in the North and purchase vehicles to be gathering hay for them from all over Nigeria. It is not a difficult task at all and it is the only way out. Herders should be given a deadline after which open grazing will be banned and any cattle found grazing openly will become government property. The law can be made by the federal government or individual states.There are replicas of such a law across the world and Nigeria will not be the first to pass the law. The government can give the herders one year to sort themselves out. It is the only way to end the needless bloodletting. When cattle are not grazed all over the place but fed and watered on one spot they will grow faster on less feed. |
The loss in value of Nigerian pension funds The pension fund in Nigeria has lost a large portion of its value due to the devaluation of the Naira. How can such losses be mitigated against in future?. It is no small deal to wake up and find half of your life savings wiped off. |
sammiewrite:It is many people's source of livelihood and it must therefore be done with caution. They must call them to.meetings which will lead to a deadline for them to sort themselves out even if only to withdraw gradually and build their ranches in the North. There is nothing wrong with building ranches in the North where they have land. They can still get fodder from anywhere. It will be wrong to approach them like criminals. There must be a long enough deadline that they subscribe to |
MAR2012:The only way out to stop the killings is ranching. You don't have to give out your lands. You can get into the business with partnerships. The Fulani are entrenched in it and it is good to put them into consideration too. When everybody has agreed that ranching is the way out, then the people roaming about with cattle will be given a deadline to sort themselves out. They can set up anywhere once they have trucks to gather hay to the ranches. If a family have just one hundred heads of cattle, that is a fairly big business. |
Then start your cattle ranches by yourself or partner with Fulanis. Ranching is the only way to stop the killings and reprisals between farmers and herders. |
