No ruler was a Christian back then the only ruler who wants to become a Christian was told to sell off his prestige and affluence:

“There is still one thing lacking about you: Sell all the things you have and distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come be my follower.” Luke 18:22

That's what Jesus told the politician!
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

My friend JW can never and will never ever fill a place because we are moving to places where there are no JWs.
If it's just to convert those within a territory we won't be moving to other places.
For your information Jesus commanded us to go throughout the earth so if Nigeria is filled with Jehovah's Witnesses we will no longer stay here instead we will move to places where there are no witnesses because that's our job until Jesus returns! smiley
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
PoliticsRe: Bill To Establish Independent Body To Conduct LG Elections Scale Second Reading by lawani(m): 2:56pm On Mar 26, 2025
Aonkuuse:
You are the one that is very stupid...... What are the states doing with the local government? It's better the LGA be controlled by the FG than the states.... How many of the 36 states have given full autonomy to the LGAs? And you love it to remain like that? At least an election will be conducted at the LGA level than governors using the office to settle political thugs... The way you people reason ennn, I don't know how hatred and bitterness have taken over una brains
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

The purpose of the gospel is to unite all faithful people throughout the earth as friends of peace {Luke 10:6} and WITNESSES of the Prince of Peace! Act 1:8

So true believers in Christ must practice what Jesus taught which is LOVE fellow believers {John 13:34-35} LOVE neighbours {Mark 12:31} and even LOVE enemies! Luke 6:26-27

Failure to do this means the religion is having a form of godliness but proving false to it's power. 2Timothy 3:5

The title GOD means SUPREME BEING so how can the worshipers of the same GOD be fighting and killing themselves yet claiming they have the same God? smiley
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

Dude abeg pack go one side Jesus really walked this planet and established what is called CHRISTIANITY.
.
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
Christianity EtcIs Islam Arab Culture?. by lawani(op): 12:10pm On Mar 25, 2025
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.

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

CultureHow The IFA Corpus Was Compiled by lawani(op): 9:13pm On Mar 24, 2025
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.

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.

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

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

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'.

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
PoliticsLet Us End The Bloodletting Between Herders And Farmers by lawani(op): 7:19pm On Mar 20, 2025
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.

sammiewrite:
In Nigeria, rape, murder are crimes where the perpetrators are often arrested and prosecuted. Why is it that when it is done by a Fulani man it is no longer a "crime" where the criminals are to be arrested or prosecuted, but rather a "problem" whose only solution is "a livestock ministry" and/or ranching?

The people have spoken and the FG should back off. If they are serious about the whole "farmer-herder" crisis - like, is it even farmer-herder clashes, when it is the herders who are always trespassing and committing mass murders? - and think they need to get involved, they should:
1. Ban herding and proscribe the herders national association and its members as terrorists
2. Go after the criminal herders and treat them like the criminals they are.
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

Whatever business you want to engage in, first you must get a skill, then raise capital.

Anybody who graze his your cows with someone's crops, is not into business, but terrorism.
Anybody who supports such madness is devilish.
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.
PoliticsRe: Igbo Town Unions Reject FG’s Ranching Plans In South East by lawani(m): 5:35pm On Mar 12, 2025
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.
