QuinQQ:Christianity and Islam trying to convert the whole world do not work better than traditional spiritualities that maintain their own lane and let others breathe! People who say God is a maniac burning idolators and unbelievers in hell are not the right guys. Tell me one thing they added to human civilization other than new reasons to fight wars and hate people? There is nothing they added more than negatives ie jihads and crusades |
QuinQQ:These bible books had been lying around for centuries before they were compiled into one volume. So at what point did they become the word of God when even the authors can not be clearly identified? Then people are converted to religion by force, by intimidation, by indoctrination and by band wagon effect. Not by reason |
Sonofgod1990:Commercial bank interest is over 25 percent in Nigeria. Fixed deposit rate is like 15 percent. One million dollars is 1.5 billion naira and if you fix it at 15 percent you will take home over 200 million naira every year. The interest on one million dollars for one year in Nigeria is more than enough to live on in Nigeria |
jidesp:Yes any language is easy if you want to learn but the Yoruba have no reason to learn Hausa. They would rather be teaching another language in their schools that is more in use. The Yoruba surpass the Hausa in population in Nigeria |
QuinQQ:That doesn't mean a thing. Are people's idols not working for them? |
The bible is not just one book but a collection of books written over thousands of years with most of the authours' identity unknown. The old testament isn't written in the language of the characters it talks about. It was written thousands of years after their languages went extinct and there are no accounts in any other languages apart from those relatively new languages. Actually not very strange because in a thousand years time, all Yoruba history written may be in English alone When being compiled, some books were removed because the compilers do not like the contents. The Catholic bible, the Ethiopian bible and probably some other Bibles have some books that do not exist in the European bible The bible is full of contradictions. Just type contradictions in the bible inside google Therefore read the Bible as it will give you insights into many things but never be so naive as to think it is the word of God because it was written by mere men and it is full of errors too |
Samantha125:It is an uncivilized and barbaric behavior to lynch people for being illegals in your country |
Samantha125:I once suggested this many years ago but I have changed my mind. There are more Hausa speakers in Nigeria than Yoruba speakers including L1 and L2 speakers but Yoruba people as an ethnic group surpass Hausa people in population in Nigeria. In west Africa, people speaking Yoruba are close to 100 million including L1 and L2. Such a language does not need to shift for any other language on its own land |
I believe they were producing for export or are they selling that much meth in the country? |
New odus of ifa May 20 2026. Ose Irosun When my neighbor prospers it will reflect on me and I will absorb it This was the IFA cast for western Europe that rode on the industrial revolution breakthrough of their member England to world prominence It was cast for the rest of the world that copied western Europe's industrial revolution and became prosperous. They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied Onlooking people of Po and Offa! The prosperity of one person or one section of the world can radically bless the world Odi Owonrin The solution to any problem can be generated from any of God's creations This was the IFA cast for Osanyin the commander of all natural elements On the day he was coming from heaven to Earth He was advised to sacrifice He listened and complied Onlooking people of Po and Offa! Osanyin would use water to light fire while offering fire to quench a person's thirst Anything created by God can be used for anything you want to use it for, you only need to know how to activate it. That is the philosophy of Osanyin. Iwori Irosun (Iwori Ijesa) The more people in a sailing boat, the more it rocks and the more jolly the journey This was the IFA cast for the professional business founder whose work for the economy is to set up companies, run them profitably for some time and then sell the controlling stake at a profit to new investors It was cast for Dr Lawrence Omole the founder of IBPlc the first Nigerian founded manufacturer to successfully list on the NSE and make the company a living thing with it's own life. Otura Ogunda We do not know exactly where our feet is taking our heads but we know God will make it be a better place This was the ifa cast for the whole world whose lot is getting better as people do things and other things happen on their own They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied The King of England was forced to sign the Magna Carta and it had to be efficient British companies via the corporate model of doing business expanding the British empire instead of the crown. The crown in other countries never achieved much The managers of the companies were put under pressure by shareholders seeking profit and it led to the industrial revolution Religionists went on rampage all over the world causing all kinds of ills and disturbances and it led to peer reviewed spirituality. Otura Irosun If you dig deep, you will find treasures If you travel far, you will get to lands where they serve their meals in cooking pots All things are acceptable unless they are morally wrong This was the ifa cast for the person who became irreligious as a result of reading very widely and thinking very deeply He was advised to sacrifice He listened and complied Onlooking people of Po and Offa! Real in-depth scholarship with breadth and width and deep reflection will always lead to the realization that God is not partisan and that he is definitely as reasonable as a kind hearted old man Ofun Oyeku A farmer feeding his cow as if he were a servant serving the master is only because the farmer wants to milk the cow This was the IFA cast for the government that fixed minimum wage high so that it can be taxed They were advised to sacrifice. They listened and complied Onlooking people of Po and Offa! When the government wants the lowest paid worker to be well paid, it is to secure their own cut Osa Otura Water will never naturally flow up a hill This was the IFA cast for the level headed child of God who worshipped other Gods just because violent Jihadists say other Gods must not be worshipped It was cast for the sensible child of quarrelsome parents who was nice to relatives that were nice to him against the instructions of the parents It was cast for the anarchist that will promptly break a law that they see as unfair OSE Osa The honour children give to their parents is automatic and it is wishful thinking to think it can easily be taken away. This was the IFA cast for Other Gods on the day they were coming from heaven to Earth and the Muslims were saying only Allah must be worshipped The Other Gods were advised to sacrifice. They listened and complied Their sacrifice reached Olodumare and was perfected Onlooking people of Po and Offa! The children of the orisa continued to worship them and they did so even more intensely despite the antics of the Muslims Otura OSA Competitors often are the last to acknowledge our accomplishments This was the IFA cast for President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria who would not be acknowledged as an expert by opposition despite solving the same problem in two different places He modernized Lagos revenue profile by freeing the state from dependence on allocations when he was governor and he also modernized the revenue profile of the Nigerian federal government by ending the dependence on free oil money as President. Without his inputs the two constituencies may have remained financially lame. Oturupon Osa When leaves have been wrapped around soap for long enough, it will become the same as the soap This was the IFA cast for the Berom the indigenous people of Jos North in Nigeria on the day they were wondering what the status of the Jassawa should be. The Jassawa are the descendants of non indigenes, many of whom came from Niger Republic to work for the British at their mines during the colonial era. They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied The ancestors of the Jassawa left their old homes without looking back and their descendants today are part of the Berom because of that!. People who are not attached to any other place are part of where they are. Ogbe Ogunda Teteregun abeso woroko A difa fun onile fuja ti o dooto Won ni ko rubo O gbebo nbe O rubo Emi onile fuja ti o dooto Mo kole Owo EMI onile fuja ti o dooto Mo kole Aya rere EMI onile fuja ti o dooto Mo kole omo rere EMI onile fuja ti o dooto Mo kole aiku baale oro Translation Teteregun with it's bountiful seeds This was the IFA cast for Onile fuja (he who built castles in the air) that would become a reality. He was advised to sacrifice He listened and complied I am Onile fuja the one that built castles in the air that would become a reality I have built a castle of money I am Onile fuja the one that built castles in the air that would become a reality I have built a castle of a good wife I am Onile fuja that built castles in the air that would become a reality I have built a castle of children I am Onile fuja the one that built castles in the air that would become a realty I have built a castle of longevity and longevity is Lord over prosperity ASE Note This is talking about the power of imagination as the beginning of creation. The alignment you need first is imagination which will later lead to articulation then later execution. |
gidgiddy:They all have to answer to the people they are working for because those people are not their slaves |
gidgiddy:Nigerians including Easterners told Gowon to renege on the agreement. He can't determine such for the whole country |
gidgiddy:Yes but if Colonel Ojukwu had used that argument, he would have had an upper hand and maybe civilian rule would have been restored for the purpose of state creation but the states would still have been created because the independence constitution allows it. Even if no civil rule, he could have insisted on a referendum and that would have been a set precedent. He did not do all that. He only insisted that no state must be created out of the Eastern region |
Ready2speak:Why did Biafra lose the war? Can Biafra win again after Bonny, Calabar and PH fell to the 3 Marine commando? Any other resistance after that was just to mark time. Biafra's fate was sealed when they drew the west and Midwest into the war and the 3 marine commando set sail for Calabar in response. When you have no industrial capacity and all or most of your ports had fallen to your adversaries, it will not matter much again who is helping you. |
gidgiddy:Why should Ojukwu refuse the creation of a state that was being clamoured for? He could have asked for a referendum instead and be right but he had no right at all to unilaterally say No if the people wanted it. Other states were created in other parts of the country as well Then a coup that did not succeed all over the country would still have inevitably ended in a civil war to conclude the coup unless a kind of truce was reached. If he had agreed to the creation of states, the war may have been avoided |
uKnighted:There are people who speak Yoruboid languages but don't identify with the Yoruba chief among them is the Igala in Kogi state and some groups in Eastern Nigeria. Igalas have ancient Ifes on their land. Up to four or so but their main King the Attah of Igala is not a member of the Yoruba dynasty. It is possible that some Onus in Igala land are descended from ancient Ife royal families but not the Attah. Itsekiri on their part have their leadership descended from that dynasty via Benin and Itsekiri would have been there before the establishment of Benin. They are according to them a mix of Ijebu, Ilaje and Igala The Olukumi in my opinion are from the old Benin city and are presently speaking the old language of Benin city but because the language they speak is not different from Owo's Yoruba dialect in Ondo state, many say they migrated from Owo but Owo and Benin spoke the same Yoruba dialect in the past. If Owo and Itsekiri are not exactly the same then Olukumi and Itsekiri too are not |
Let other people too pen down their accounts. Kudos to General Gowon for putting his pen to paper. Yes the war could have been won by Biafra because onlookers were following and they knew all that led to the war and would be careful to take sides As for the Yoruba and the Midwest, they were pulled into the war when Biafra invaded their lands. They did not join the war. It was brought to them |
AMINDA:Same applies to the Fulani that fought tooth and nail to have another Fulani as President after Buhari both in the APC and in the PDP So why accuse others of what you are guilty of? If Atiku wins, the Fulani have no plans to hand over to any other ethnic nationality after his term unless they fight for it as did Tinubu. If any ethnic nationality can do such in this Nigeria it is actually the Yoruba. So therefore support the breakup of Nigeria so that all groups can develop their lands without encumbrances while adding value to humanity. |
taiwiki:The most intensely worshipped human being is Mohammed but Muslims conveniently miss that fact. How in the world will anyone say Jesus, Buddha or any deity for that matter is worshipped on this Earth more than Mohammed? Mohammed to Muslims is who Allah have to take permission from before telling people anything. Allah is working for Mohammed. So he is not only a deity but more than a deity to Muslims |
bixton:His analysis is somehow sound because Kwankwanso can decamp to APC and he will still have all his assets intact. |
If convicted, he would have been fined and not sent to jail and the fine would not have been able to do for the US what the investment would do. |
JimmySwaggart:Ok what about if all traditional rulers support another person? How will Atiku win given such a scenario? |
JimmySwaggart:Who is it then certain for? Every contestant would have needed to campaign and approach stakeholders from across the country. Do you think it would be easy for even Atiku to win as it is not only his village people or nuclear family that are voting in the primaries? The primaries up till now is not easy for anybody to win |
WHAT YOU NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT THE VERY FACT THAT SOMEONE SAID ONLY ONE GOD SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED IS THE CHIEF REASON YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR OTHER GODS AND WORSHIP THEM. IF SOMEONE SAID YOU MUST RESPECT AND GREET ONLY THEM THEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE NUTS AND YOU NEED TO RESPECT AND GREET OTHER PEOPLE |
samuelson06:IFA is a language or communication tool with the spirit realm |
MadPolitician:I think Lagos is more than seventy percent Yoruba because in the seventies according to the census it was seventy percent Yoruba even as the capital not to talk of now that it is no longer the capital but what percentage do you think the Yoruba are in Lagos presently? Bring data to prove that the percentage of Lagosians that are Yoruba has dropped below seventy percent since the seventies. I believe it has increased until you bring your data. There was no Abuja back then and Onitsha, Awka, Owerri Enugu were not big cities. Oyo had more population than Lagos Egun can't really be described as non Yorubas. They bear Yoruba names and etc. In Badagry, they have Yoruba indigenes that speak Yoruba and Egun and there are Egun towns where they speak only Yoruba and bear Yoruba names. I know at least one in Ogun state but I can't remember the name. How do you then make distinctions between Yoruba and Egun? I am not against anybody contesting elections anywhere but I am against cheating any group and what is fair is for the SW to have three times the representation of the SE. Check all stats leaving out even tax because tax will mean the gap should be much wider. If Lagos has more population than Ogun and Oyo combined and is 120 percent of the SE then it should reflect in the representation at the federal level. That is my point. Only one percent of Lagos was FCT and the FCT argument is not an excuse. The right argument is that anybody that is a citizen is free to contest anywhere in the country. Nigeria is an amalgam of ethnic nationalities and if the weight of any nationality is being watered down, it will be foolish of them not to complain because benefits are being shared on this basis The Yoruba or Hausa or Urhobo and etc who don't constitute themselves into an opposition party in places where they have numbers know why they don't do that. There are advantages and disadvantages to every approach. Igbos are a new people and they don't really understand yet how to deal with the rest of the world. They will eventually acclimatize. Igbos voting for Igbos alone can never win anything in any part of Lagos. Igbos are not more than one quarter of non Yoruba living in Lagos is why. Hausas, northerners who are not Hausas, Igbos, southerners who are not Igbos are the four around equal parts. Igbo is just one quarter of maybe thirty or twenty percent of Lagos and do you really think more Igbos have won elections outside Igbo land than Yoruba outside Yoruba land in Nigeria? I don't think so. Only the approach is different. So your belief that the Yoruba lack ambition and drive isn't correct. Why do you think a Yoruba man who is sensible will support someone like you who is publicly saying they have a debilitating culture of cowardice? People like you are the ones messing things up for others. Can you give your examples of why you think the Yoruba tend to be cowards? Because the Yoruba do well in Nigeria. If in battle, they won the civil war for Nigeria. The best known soldier was General Benjamin Adekunle If in politics or human rights struggle, they are over represented. In activism the same thing. Facing certain death without flinching, they are there. So please explain yourself. |
If you do not beg ifa profusely and show enough respect, it will not cooperate with you fully. That should tell you all you need to know. When you deal with IFA, you are dealing with your own Ori and if you don't defer to it properly ie worship it, it will not freely help you or answer your questions There is nothing to be against in worship of any kind or greeting of any kind |
Ifa can get for you any information that was known to anyone that ever lived anywhere on Earth. It may not get it immediately but it can get it. It can tell you the plans of your enemy, the prospects of a relationship and etc because it can read the mind, character and etc of the people concerned |
It is those who don't need money from the government that should be making laws Whether this reality is accepted or not, it will remain the reality. Political parties, trade unions and all associations with financial members should be the only ones recognized as political parties in any nation and when their candidates win, they should pay them by themselves for those who need to be paid and the only people eligible to contest should be trusted elders with clean track records. It should be elders trusted by the masses that should make laws for the nation and they should receive all briefs of the government and be able to sack the President without notice via a simple majority vote. Ogbeyeku was the IFA cast for the Ogboni and shared to the nation when they went to consult IFA so that life will augur well for both of them They were advised to sacrifice They listened and complied Life augured well for the Ogboni and life augured well for the nation. Ogbeyeku baba Amulu Ori Ogbo Ori ato baba edan A difa fun ile a bu fun edan Ki aye le ye awon mejeeji ni won difa si Won ni kan rubo Won gbebo won rubo Aye ye ile Aye si ye edan Ogbe yeku is unfailing alignment, unending alignment, reinvigorated alignment. Alignment because your salvation depends on it and etc The Ogboni will always align with the land and the land will always align with the Ogboni Ela boru Ela boye Ela bo sise |
anonimi:There are primitive people on the Indian sub continent, in the Americas in Australia and even the Roma in Europe were semi primitive or at least nomadic. Such exist literally all over the world and we also have such in Africa but the Yoruba have never been even a tribal people at any point in their history. They have always been a nation The Ijesa a Yoruba sub nation are a nation and not a tribe. Tribe is low organisation and maybe a maximum of 2000 people living together or less. They don't have cities, advanced skills, advanced societies and advanced organisation and leadership and that was never applicable to the Yoruba at any time and your stats of out of school children and etc don't apply to the Yoruba. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century US and Yoruba urbanisation levels were the same and where you find cities you find civilization. No group on Earth has been living in cities for longer than the Yoruba. This is our year 10068 and it is the most ancient calendar on Earth. As an Ijesa man, should I accept the wrong narrative that my ancestors were tribals? No I will not. They were a well organized and advanced nation with territory that encompassed cities, towns, villages, their markets, industry and farmland |
