absoluteSuccess:
Great insight Sir, good job.

It is possible to have both honour and wealth. It's also possible to have either or neither. I think it's just that simple.

Going by the Yoruba proverb you anchored to, the "honour" will be purchased with wealth. Truth is, Owo laso oge, bio sowo, faari o si. Owo ni koko, owo ni fuja.

Indeed, there is honour that's associated with wealth and there is one associated with nothing. And that's not good enough.

I will argue that you do not buy honour, rather you earn it. That's exactly your argument.

If so, then iyi, as used in that proverb you alluded to, has other meaning. At least it has price-tag.

Olowo nfowo ra iyi: that 'iyi' is 'commodity of enduring value' that costs some fortune. It follows that "iyi" as used in that proverb means "value".

So back to the proverb: you are looking for money, you come across value, go back home and brainstorm.

The reason is given: If you get the money you are looking for, you will eventually spend all on valu-ables.

So, the dark saying is that, you should recognize "value" as "intangible wealth" in case you come across it instead of money in your quest for success.

Moral: we must learn to create wealth instead of being fixed into hunting for money. I agree with your Puritan philosophy in spirit and soul. I agree with wealth also.

Is that your choice for the thread?

As in, is the Jesus character your choice?

Amujale:
Then, according to your own admission, it stands to reason that there was never a person that walked the Earth known as Jesus Christ.

What is the etymology of the term 'Isa'.

Have you perform a philological perusal of the term 'Isa'.

What language came first between the current form of Arabic and Greek?Nobody named Jesus Christ ever existed but it should be with explanation

His solution has been tried elsewhere in the continent and it led to disaster. The fact that none of you Tinubu supporters find it difficult to criticise his words when he's clearly wrong is worrisome. The naira isn't a global currency neither is Nigeria a major economy or exports lots of products and services that others purchase. But hey, you believe QE is advisable because Tinubu said it. That's how you people brought a relic from 1984 because he would fight corruption.

Amujale:
Jesus never existed.

There was never a person who walked the Earth known as Jesus Christ.

The Jesus character is an adaptation of various older religioussic characters from around the globe.

You derived that from a blog you acknowledged is defective. Interesting

kayfra:
And you insert an unfounded percentage? When you are not an Aba or Biafran statistician. Lmao

On what basis?

kayfra:
Present day language to ancient language. Language is not static and changes every 100 years.

Present day Yoruba lexicon compared with alleged Kemet is brain dead

kayfra:
I knew the blog will be full of sh!t. Didn't even bother to read it. I thought he had a peer reviewed document or something written with serious research behind it.

Same ole mumbo jumbo with Nok culture moving BCs like Cayotte chasing the road runner

kayfra:
It's a blog. Nothing more than the opinions I read here.

lawani:
This is the paper I was telling you about.http://obamaandpeace..com/2010/03/oduduwa-and-yoruba-revolution-in-world.html

macof:
That's what the story you are referencing says.

What I know is that oduduwa has no connection to nimrod, whether father or great grandfather or whatever is not the issue

macof:
I keep asking you to provide the traditional source of such history since you want to believe its part of yoruba oral history


The story goes that oduduwa was a Prince of mecca
And his father was Nimrod (Lamurudu)

I think 1 + 1 should be expected to be 2 even if we weren't told

Where are the records of such migration of millions of Egyptians?
