An adage in Yorùbá says:

"Ẹni tó máa dá aṣọ fúnni, aṣọ ara rẹ̀ ló yẹ ká wò"

Please present a group of traditional spiritualists that cut across tribes and ethnicity making peace reign among them!🙂

Original human beings don't fight or quarrel among themselves over God up till today. I am surprised you don't know this. They are all brothers so far spirituality is concerned. Buddhist monks, Babalawos, Hindu priests, Maiguzuwa, Dibias etc are all brothers in the spirit department

Jews had minimal presence in Arab land before they left. Their lands if they were farmers are probably left unused presently. They have claims to that lands that they lived on for thousands of years. Nobody can stop them from returning if they want but they feel safer in Israel. There is no need for any Arab leader to make any pronouncement.
Sir do you have any evidence of anything you wrote up here or are you just making things up
According to you, the very same people that drove Jews out of their lands are now ready to welcome them back with lands and property.
You claim that no pronouncement from Arab leaders is needed, that somehow , the Jews should trust you and depend on your assurance of safety.
That the people that hated them and chased them now love them and can't wait for their return.
Oga, unless you have some evidence backing your words, it will be irresponsible for any Jew to believe you.
Does this your theory also apply to India and Pakistan? Would Pakistanis accept, welcome and return land to Indians who fled during the post independence war or is it just an Arab thing?
We can't just wake up and make broad sweeping statements without any evidence.
Till today, a number of Arab nations will not even grant visas to Jews. So please let's get back to real life and stop making things up. Just because you want something to be that way doesn't make it so.

If all the Arab Jews in Israel returned to only one Arab country today, they will still have an insignificant presence in that country. Therefore you don't need any research to know that Jewish presence in any Arab country before the Arab Israeli war was insignificant. Arab Jews don't want to leave Israel to go back to Arab land and that is understandable. No need to say the Arabs will resist them if they wanted to return. Where then are you supposed to go if you can't go back to a country you lived in for over twenty generations? And what threat would the returning Jews pose to the Arab countries? If there is no reason to believe something then don't believe it. An Arab country might refuse an Israeli a visa but that will be because they are Israeli and not because they are Jewish.

SIRTee15:
All your initial arguments are broken, what u doing now is reinventing new ones for the sake of relevance.

U said xtianity is alien to africa- broken
U then said xtianity is alien to subsahara africa- broken
U claimed colonisation brought xtianity to nigeria- broken
U then argued colonisation pressured Nigerians to embrace xtianity - broken.

Guy, culture is dynamic. It's something u really have to understand.

U can continue to deny the obvious. Europe is declining. All the things u mentioned science, technology, industrialization are still strong in Europe. So why are they gradually becoming irrelevant. The answer is so so obvious, lack of societal discipline and moral guidance.
Anything goes liberal secularism.
U may deny it, but the decline began when church and state finally parted ways in the mid 20th century.
A river that forget it's source will dry up.

I can't write much, follow your Isese and let us follow our own faith. But I hope u guys will really work hard enough to give the traditional spirituality modern facelift. It's too primitive and too superstitious to be relevant in this age and time.

Christianity and Islam ie religion is alien to the whole world. The default for the whole world is traditional spirituality that uses divination. There must be a revert to it for peace to reign on Earth.

What changed Europe is not religion but Britain and what changed Britain is innovation and that innovation is the corporate model of doing business which led to or caused the industrial revolution. Other European nations merely copied Britain. It was Britain and not Europe as a whole that brought the change and Britain also rested on the achievements of other earlier civilizations. It has nothing at all to do with religion. Britain is simply the most innovative nation and most impactful in the last few centuries.

Europe has problem now because the cost of living is high and it is making manufacturing not competitive in the country. The problem is caused by high rent and not because they abandoned harmful, fascistic and dogmatic spirituality ie religion.

Traditional spirituality of the Yoruba is scientific. IFA divination is scientific and many intellectuals are priests. The priests are professionals and they seek clients not converts.

AntiChristian:
Calling people terrorists based on a future sets of beliefs and happenings is delusional. No law will even entertain your delusion.

Hell is surely the destination of all disbelievers and hypocrites! May Allah count us among the inhabitants of paradise without first entering Hell.

No you are not correct. If you constantly threaten me with hell via preaching I can use the police to stop you. Theoretical but it is possible. Threatening innocent people with punishment is evil and it can be outlawed and outlawing such will be a big push for the war against terrorism. It is the most significant thing that can be done against terrorism in any country. Do you agree?

tctrills:
You are saying a lot that is wrong. There are not many Jews in Arab land today. Just 20,000 from the 900,000 that left.
You also assume incorrectly that the Arabs would welcome the mass return of Jews. Not one leader in the Arab world has even made such a statement.
You also mean that the Arabs would return Jewish land back? Common let's get serious.
They only way they can return and feel safe is if they are invited back and all land belonging to them is returned.
If Israel allows the Palestinians to return without giving them lands, what are they returning to? Would the live on the streets? Likewise, if the Arabs are not giving back land why would and sane Jew even dream of returning to a land they were driven.
The only reason we have this issue ongoing is that the Palestinians have been spoilt.
The Europeans and Americans have spoilt them. They have forgotten not to negotiate with terrorists.
The Palestinians have almost zero economic value to the world yet before the war, Gaza had a higher development index than Nigeria and most African nations all thanks to the kindness of Europe and America. The west spoilt them so they continue to prolong the nonsense. They are pampered and irresponsible and we continue to make excuses for them

Jews had minimal presence in Arab land before they left. Their lands if they were farmers are probably left unused presently. They have claims to that lands that they lived on for thousands of years. Nobody can stop them from returning if they want but they feel safer in Israel. There is no need for any Arab leader to make any pronouncement. Would you say the Ethiopian Jews were also driven from Ethiopia?. Jews don't want to live under the control of Arabs or anybody else is the issue. No Arab nation can be against readmitting the Jews to the only homes they knew for thousands of years. Jews want their own nation and that is understandable. No need to give another interpretation. In the 20th century, the violence between Jews and Arabs was started by Jews and not by Arabs and if all Arab Jews want to return to their lands today, nobody would stop them but understandably they don't want to.

It is clear why the Jews don't want the Palestinians back and it is so they don't become minority in their own country. What has any Arab country got to lose by taking back it's small number of Jews that left or that were expelled?

The forest surrounding your hometown belong to your hometown. The forests of any land belongs to the people living in the cities and their government. Not all Israeli land is cultivated today and it does not mean the land is not Israeli land. Thesame applied to Palestine before it fell under Jewish control in 1948. Therefore the Palestinians are not asking to be given land by Jews, they say they own the whole land. There is a difference. They claim they are being oppressed and you know this is not the fifteenth century or AD 70 when a whole nation can be deported or exterminated. However the Jews have added value to the land with irrigation techniques, desalination plants etc. Former desert lands are now agricultural land. The Palestinians also need to know this. They need to embrace peace and take whatever is left as this will make it easier for all those who want to help them to do so. The approach is not to chastise or abuse them but beg them as a small piece of land to manage is still something. It is better than nothing and better than war. I don't support the idea that they are the bad guys as there is no where on Earth where people will gladly give up their only known ancestral land.

tctrills:
Oga, you are passing very false information. The Jews were forced out of the Arab world. Many of them left with just the clothes on their backs. Many were killed, attacked, and raped, and at no time have they been permitted to return. The Jews controled Banking and business in many of these counries but lost everything to the Arabs, Today, not up to 20,000 Jews live in the entire arab world, but 1.2 million Arabs are Israeli.
Here are a few links to get you educated on the topic

Please let's get our facts right.
Not one country has returned the Jewish property in Arab land.
So, where did you get your info from?

Also, how about the Indians and Pakistanis who were displaced? Why are they not fighting each other for their ancestral home? The Palestinians are just a special case.

What I am saying is that Jews leaving the Arab world was because of the Arab Israeli war. It would be after the Palestinians were driven out of their homes. How come Jews are still in the Arab world today? Even in Iran they have a Jewish community. It is quite obvious that nobody is saying they should not return to Arab lands if they want. The present situation is that Arab Jews don't want to return to Arab land while Palestinians want to return to their towns and villages in Israel. Jews did not have a significant population in any Arab country but if Palestinians were to return to Israel they might form a majority. That is the issue. About Pakistan and India, I hope you know it is still one of the trouble spots on Earth. Indian controlled Kashmir have Muslims and Pakistan controlled Kashmir have Hindus. It is not exactly similar because it did not involve settlers coming from all over the world. Nobody is saying Israel must not exist, only that you people should empathize with the Palestinians or is it until it happens to you that you will be able to do that?. They are not wrong to say the land belongs to them. You can't solve the issue by insisting they are the bad guys.

AntiChristian:
Hell fire is an abstract place we believe exists somewhere. You can't claim i threaten you with such abstract place. I can threaten you with a knife, bomb, etc. But not hell.

If you belief in Islam and do righteous deeds as Islam legislates you'll be admitted into paradise!

Otherwise you are on your way to hell fire the home to eternal burning - reset and burning again!

What you are doing is terrorism. No matter how subtle. You call hell abstract but people believe and it makes them do horrible things

AntiChristian:
Try and report to the police and see if the police would take you seriously!
A criminal under common law is liable to judgement under common law if caught.

A criminal who disbeliefs in his creator deserves to be punished when he meets the creator!

There is no law yet but if you report someone to the police for threatening you with hell fire when you did no wrong, the police will wade in and direct the person to cease. We however need the law to be properly in place. It will go a long way in fighting terrorism than anything done so far

MemoriesAndMe:
If Nigeria's passport mistakenly gets powerful, everybody go japa, leaving only politicians to govern each other. Nobody go wan serve nobody again.

In countries where the passport is powerful, nobody wants to emigrate. They prefer staying in their countries

AntiChristian:
If i were to threaten you that if you steal you'll be jailed is that also a form of terrorism?

You are not making sense!

No that would not be terrorism. You are the one not making sense. If you threaten an innocent law abiding person, that would be terrorism because despite not being violent immediately, you are promising the violence and it would not be wrong to report you to the police

AntiChristian:
That's from your own derived law still in your brain!

In reality, it doesn't exist.

Talk reality and keep your delusions to yourself!

Ok would you agree that threatening law abiding people with hell fire and eternal damnation is mild terrorism? If not full? It is intimidation definitely and it does not always involve violence but it often does. So mild terrorism involves intimidation but not necessarily violence which often comes later. Do you agree?

tctrills:
By your argument, the Jews should be fighting all Arab countries that kicked out Jews in the 50s right? Again, how did the land become majority Palestinian? Were the Palestinians invited by the indigenous Jews or did they come and claim a land not minding the rights and desires of the original Jews?
Let me use your exact logic, the mass exodus of Arabs from the land of Israel was a result of Arab Israeli wars, and by the decision of the Arabs themselves. Many Arabs were told by their leaders to move and were promised they would return after they destroyed the Jews. You see, you are only interested in seeing the Palestinian side when in fact the Jews suffered the same from the Arabs.
Again, let me use your logic. There are still Arabs living in Israel. In fact, 20% of Israel is made up of Arabs. They make up the Supreme Court and all aspects of Jewish society.

800, 000 Jews were kicked out of the Arab world. Less than 100,000 jews live in the Arab world today. 700,000 Palestinians left Israel, Today more than 2.1 million are Israeli citizens. So you are right, it's not the same thing. It's not even close.

No, I will not agree with your conclusion. The Palestinians are not doing what anyone in their shoes would do. The people of Bakassi are not committing acts of terror in Cameroon. The Palestinians are a special breed of foolish. They fight, they lose, they fight more and lose more.
For more than 70 years, many have tried to appeal to the palestinians so that is not the solution. Bill Clinton did all he could in the Oslo Accords. Nothing works when it comes to these people.

Jews fled Arab lands because of the wars between some Arab countries and Israel. They can return if they want and there are still Jews there but Palestinians are not allowed to return to their towns and villages inside Israel. It is therefore not the same thing.
Then actually in Bakassi, the people were not chased out and many of them are still there. It is only the sovereignty over the land that changed. Anybody that relocated to Nigeria among them did so voluntarily or did you hear that anyone was chased out or any traditional ruler deposed or exiled? It is actually not the same. Benin republic can become Nigerian territory tomorrow.
You are saying the Palestinians are a horrible lot. Outside begging them, appealing to them and helping them rebuild, what else do you think is the way forward? You can't merge them with Israel for now and you can't kill them all off. If you are constantly blaming them then you are not empathizing with them and you have to do that to be able to contribute to solving the problem

We don't buy in total up to seventy billion dollars a year from all foreign countries combined. US alone has a GDP over 30 trillion dollars. To pay for this, we sell to them and diasporeans send money home, if there is an excess, foreign reserves go up, if deficit, it goes down

AntiChristian:
Terorism according to Oxford dictionary is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

What is the law?
And who is being threatened?
You no sabi wetin terrorism be!

If you threaten a law abiding person with eternal damnation or hell fire, you are terrorizing the person. Is that not spreading terror? It should be illegal but it is not yet

tctrills:
Oga the Palestinians were not driven out in 1948, the land was divided among the two groups who were in the land. The entire land of Jordan and about half of present day Israel was given to the Palestinians.
So they have no excuse.
The same thing happened all over Eastern Europe, it happened in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It happened in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
For the sake of peace, lands have been divided and people had to move from one nation to another, leaving behind ancestry land.
It recently happened in Nigeria, remember Bakassi Peninsular.

But only the people of Palestine choose to keep fighting till date and you want us to pity them.

Again the Jews were not only driven out 2000 years ago.
More than half of the Jewish population were driven out of Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and other Arab countries in the late 40s and early 50s. So those are the people that need our pity not the Palestinians that had a choice but went for war.

There have always been indigenous Jews in the area but the Jews declared a Sovereign state on a land that was majority Palestinian. If you were Palestinian you would fight back. The deed is done and you say the Jews and not the Palestinians should be patronized by onlookers? For peace to reign, it is the Palestinians that should be begged by onlookers. That should be the approach. That Nigeria gave Bakassi to Cameroon is not justification that millions of Palestinians also give up their land automatically.
There are still Jews in Muslim lands up to even Iran today and the mass exodus of Jews from North Africa and etc would have been because of the Arab Israeli wars and by the decision of the Jews themselves. You can't just be driven out of the only place you know as home and by neighbors and I believe they can return if they want. It is not actually the same thing as what happened to Palestinians who are not allowed to return to their ancestral towns and villages in Israel.

In conclusion, empathize with Palestinians and realize they are only doing what anybody in their shoes would have done and the solution is to appeal to them to take whatever they have left and rebuild with the assistance of the rest of the world. Don't say any nation that assisted their freedom fighters or their civilians did the wrong thing.

tctrills:
How will you feel if you are driven out of your land that you have lived on for generations and told it is not your land? Always try to empathize with people.
Great question, that's exactly the question you should be answering. How do you think the Jews felt when they were driven from their land. And the Jews remaining were treated as second class humans in the land. They were forced to pay jizya to their Muslim and Arab masters.
How did the Jews feel when they were driven out of Iran, Iraqi, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Morocco and all other Arab nations.

It is actually true that the Palestinian freedom fighters can not lack help. They have people from all over the world supporting them. There is therefore no need to be saying Iran did wrong by supporting them. If no Iran, they would still have gotten help probably from more powerful nations.
You really think Iran is helping? They are not. Their actions are making life terrible for the Palestinians

You are able to feel for the Jews that were driven out two thousand years ago but don't see why the Palestinians driven out in 1948 are fighting back?. You ought to balance it.
What Palestinians are doing is what Jews themselves would have done in their place. Even Boko Haram is getting help, so it should not be a surprise that Palestinians got help for their noble cause. How would you feel observing a scenario where the Palestinians got no help at all?

What people are saying is that it is not easy to gain 72 million from your Oga even if that Oga is worth 500 million. What percentage of Onitsha traders are worth 500 million? What percentage are worth even 200 million?. If 50,000 people in Onitsha have income of over 50 million naira a year, it would be a very rich city

tctrills:
Your entire premise is wrong. It is not their land. So yes I think they are wrong.
Again, Iran's help has only led to more deaths and suffering of the Palestinian people.
It was not Iran that brokered the present peace deal or any other peace deal since 1948.
It has mostly been the US that you guys love to hate.
It's not Iran that feeds, gives medical care or any form of real aid to the Palestinians, it's the US you all hate that does. Iran and Hama's only make things worst for the Palestinians.

How will you feel if you are driven out of your land that you have lived on for generations and told it is not your land? Always try to empathize with people.

Funny boy.
Typical nairalader. You keep avoiding my question by asking meaningless and foolish questions.
Every point you raised, I have provided you an answer but somehow, I am the ignorant one.
You claim that since 1992, Netanyahu has been claiming to the world that Iran is only 2 weeks away but it was not until last year that he stuck their nuclear stations. This shows that he is very cautious and careful in his actions.

Since the 70s the Iranian government has using the most derogatory words on Israel but I don't care about that, I only care about their actions in using terror proxies.

What Israel says or what Iran says against each other is not the problem.
Iran's actions are the problem.

If Iran does not help the Palestinians then the Russians, Chinese or even some Americans will help them. If you are fighting for your right and livelihood and you are committed, help will come even from where you least expect or were you expecting that the Palestinians would not get help? Or do you think they are wrong to fight for their land?

Persia made the second state of Israel possible.
Britain made the third state of Israel possible and the current state of Israel is under the protection of the US led NATO.
How can all that be possible without caring for Israel or loving Israel?
If you have numbers and no Homeland, it is natural to have issues and the problem of Homeland for the Jews is now solved.

Putinofrussia:
It is not entirely accurate to say South Africa's total government revenue is exactly 5 times higher than Nigeria's, but it is accurate to say South Africa's revenue and tax collection significantly outpace Nigeria's on a per-capita basis, with a much larger budget in dollar terms.
That is why we need President Tinubu that will change that trajectory.
While SA tax collection is around #60 trillion,Nigeria does only around #3 trillion but this year will be different.
The NRS mulls around #40 trillion,before Tinubu finishes his tenure by 2031,we would have outpaced South Africa as the first economy with the largest revenue in Africa.

South Africa's budget for last year was over 140 billion dollars. Nigeria's revenue for last year would be around 30 billion dollars. However living costs in South Africa is more than three times that of Nigeria meaning our budget has three times SA budget's purchasing power in the majority of the economy. Last year revenue in Nigeria was CIT 10 trillion customs 3 trillion VAT 8 trillion oil and gas around 18 trillion all approximately.

Nobody born of woman can abolish Sharia law in any part of Nigeria. Nobody stops other religions like Christianity from establishing Christian Banking, Christian base laws in christian dominated state that will prohibit immorality like prostitution, drinking of Alcohol, eating pork meat, gambling etc. To call the bluff of anti- Islam the Niger State government in North Central Nigeria has sent a Bill to the State house of Assembly to establish Hisbah (Islamic religion police) in the state. The earlier delusional minds accept the superiority of Islam in Nigeria the better for their peace of mind, after Alhaji Buhari (8yrs), Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu + Alhaji Kashim Shettima (8yrs), after them another Alhaji from Northern Nigeria will take over & again spent another 8 years. I put it to all those that have ears to listen or eyes to see that Nigeria as it is have more than 65% Islam base adherent. This is why politically, Muslims have never shout or cry power shift, because they have the numbers. Even 1991 June 12 election alleged to be won by MKO Abiola was a Muslim-Muslim Ticket. Even Mr Peter Obi despite his divisive religious campaign in 2023 election failed to win because 90% of Muslims rejected him. à

Drinking alcohol and eating pork is not immorality. You only think so because you have been indoctrinated. Are the Chinese immoral for eating mainly pork?. Then Muslims don't have a hold on the country than others. Only 12 states have sharia and that's not a majority. If Niger passes it it will then be 13 still not a majority. Non Muslims need to fear sharia because people have been lynched for blasphemy in the North with no arrests. We abuse people who did not do as much bad as Mohammed but we can't abuse Mohammed. Why? Because he is idolized by Muslims. Lastly, northern leaders should start gearing up for a breakup. Igr is most important

If the boy boy is a contract and the business is big enough to employ PhDs but is instead using NWA boi.
The problem between OGA and nwabois is rampant. One Igbo business man I knew in Ife told me about it. He said the wife of one master burst into tears duriing the shop opening ceremony of one of the apprentices upon sighting the volume of goods the boi was opening with. It was a pharmaceuticals retail. One importer from China settled the apprentice with small money but met the boy in China buying double what the Oga bought. There are many examples

No govt in the history of Nigeria has ever performed like this.

South Africa's revenue is almost five times of Nigeria's revenue is why they can owe so much

I'm saying with benefits of hindsight.

There are no actions without consequences. Give me where he said he died for the past, present and future sins of the whole world, the whole of mankind not for many which to him would have meant only Jews since he said by himself that he was sent to Jews.

How is terrorism defined in your own dictionary?

"Absence of religion" or "Absence of Islam"!

Terrorism starts from threatening law abiding people with punishment from God. Don't you agree?

For as long as it is legal for religionists to issue threats of hell fire and eternal damnation to law abiding unbelievers, then the fight against terrorism is yet to start.
When it becomes illegal for religionists to be haranguing unbelievers, then the fight against terrorism would have gained a footing.
Religion should be confined to private spaces and it should also be unincorporated and then we will have a better world.

BUT just as I stated in my post that you quoted, Ekitis (even Ijesa folks of Osun State for instance) have a huge Diaspora who are wealthy and business savvy and they can NOW start visiting their homeland to take part in massive investments from around the world. Prince Julius Adelusi of Juli Pharmacy is just one of those multimillionaires of Ekiti descent who's based in Lagos State. There are more folks based in Ibadan, PH, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. I have studied business trends and demographic distributions for years now. It's a well-known FACT that ethnic groups who have a huge Diaspora population tend to be successful.



RIGHT BELOW are some of the companies Ekiti State has Investments in:

The Ekiti State government has established, revitalized, or holds equity in several companies to drive economic development, particularly in agriculture, infrastructure, and utilities. Key companies and initiatives include:

Fountain Holdings Limited: The state's primary investment holding company, which manages a portfolio of investments and is being repositioned to generate revenue.

Ilu Eye Agro-Trading & Aggregation Company Ltd: Established by the state government to buy back produce, stabilize food prices, and support agriculture.

Ikun Dairy Farm: A joint venture company between the Ekiti State government and Promasidor Nigeria Limited, which was revitalized to produce milk and livestock.

Ikun Dairy Farm, located in Ikun-Ekiti in Mobs LGA, Ekiti State, Nigeria, is a revitalized $5 million agricultural joint venture between Promasidor Nigeria Limited (76% stake) and the Ekiti State Government (24% stake). After being idle for roughly 40 years, the farm now features over 700 high-yielding Jersey cattle and produces fresh milk for local consumption and processing.

Key Aspects of Ikun Dairy Farm:
Production & Capacity: The farm focuses on high-yield Jersey cattle, with plans to produce 10,000 liters of milk daily. As of late 2025, it was already producing over 6,000 kg of fresh milk daily.

That is very impressive. Are you from Ekiti state? I guess the efforts of the state government is why the state was able to generate a lot of VAT. I am happy that the state is not going along with the idea that government should not be in business. If they have gotten the hang on the dairy business they should expand it with an IPO.
