Until your ifa is able to gets dedicated worshipers throughout the planet it will remain a dead god. Psalms 115:4-8🙂

As at over twenty years ago, Cuba alone had over 100k registered Awos and Cuba is maybe ten million people.

If a monarch can be removed peacefully (without dying) and another appointed in his place, then it is no longer monarchy, at worst oligarchy or at best constitutional monarchy which is basically parliamentary democracy...

And do you think a powerful monarch would enjoy being told what to do, and wouldnt try to play the system to gain/keep more power? He would sit by and let himself be kicked out?

Anybody in leadership position should be easily removable. That is the only way leadership can be efficient. Yoruba monarchs were monarchs and they were easily removable. Every town had an Ogboni council and they are the real rulers and they can override the King on any matter. The King is not deferred to during Ogboni meetings.

There were Oyo kings that were removed and later recalled. Same in Ijesa. The Kings reigned, made crucial decisions, lived in affluence and etc but they didn't really rule in Yoruba land. The Ogboni were the rulers. They peer reviewed the monarch. You can't leave the leadership of anything important to just one person. In Rome, they had the Senate. In the US today, the CIA can order the President around. If you leave just one head to run a nation what will happen if the person goes insane? There must be peer review

Who established those fields?
It's humans not God that's why those who are involved need money to survive but what belongs to God doesn't need your money that's why we are to share it free because we got it freely.

As is often said 'When it is free, you are the product'.

MaxInDHouse:
Start teaching whoever is interested in such rubbish here i am ever ready to teach whoever wants to learn about the true God we don't ask anyone to come and pay any fee whoever is demanding fees before rendering service that's not visible is a scammer!🙂

True and real knowledge does not pursue anybody. You have to pursue it. Have you ever seen real and valuable knowledge being taught for free on a large scale? Medicine? Engineering and etc? It does not happen. You have to go after it. I however volunteer and I have been teaching on this platform but it is never the norm

1. The "Gap of Benin" Dominance At its zenith, the Oyo Empire did not just control Yorubaland; it effectively controlled the strategic corridor known as the "Gap of Benin." This stretch of savanna allowed the Oyo cavalry (the backbone of its military) to operate freely down to the coast.
Westward Expansion: Oyo's influence stretched deep into modern-day Benin Republic and Togo. The Kingdom of Dahomey (a powerful military state itself) was a vassal state to Oyo. Dahomey paid annual tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo from 1730 until the empire's decline in the 1820s. The Coast: Oyo controlled the trade routes leading to the key ports of Ajase (Porto-Novo) and Badagry, giving them a stranglehold on the Atlantic trade in that sector.


2. Vassal States and Tribute The proof of an empire is who pays it taxes. Oyo's imperial power was proven by the list of kingdoms that were forced to pay tribute to the Alaafin: [list] []Allada: conquered and subjugated. Dahomey: forced into vassalage after repeated defeats by Oyo cavalry. Nupe and Borgu: While relations fluctuated, Oyo frequently checked these northern neighbors and maintained influence over the Niger River trade crossings.

3. Military Capacity Oyo was unique in the forest region because it utilized a heavy cavalry force. This allowed it to project power hundreds of miles away from its capital, Oyo-Ile. No other state in the Bight of Benin could match this projection of power, allowing Oyo to police a territory larger than the entire modern United Kingdom.

By the way West Africa at the time is different from West Africa today. Oyo controlled half of the Guinea known as West Africa today 🙌

Oyo also removed the Asantehene of Ghana after the Atakpame war and installed a new one. However by the early 19th century, Abeokuta, Dahomey, Ilorin and etc had become independent

danvon:
For Russia, that very lack of central planning was a key feature of the monarchy, you also didnt mention serfdom, how the vast majority of russians under monarchy were practically not different from a cow.

That part about USA is definitely a lie, USA constitution was anti monarchial, the declaration of independence is a jokingly diss track against King George. For all its flaws USA democracy left it open to self correction, people can protest change, Monarchies dont self correct they crash.

You admit the Qing dynasty had poor state capacity but failed to acknowledge that the weak state capacity was the result of a monarchial system that placed its power in the hands of a concubine and a child.

Napoleon III started out as pro democracy but he slowly shifted to become a monarch which resulted in him being captured and France suffering.

German Kaiser had real power and he used that power to start world war 2, which led to him being overthrown and Germany suffering. Under Bismarck Germany saw its true peak, once he was out, the natural problems of monarchial system took root.

Democracy allows you the option of removing an incompetent or power hungry leader, there is no self correction in monarchies.

Once the monarch can be removed by a committee above him or her then there is self correction. The British did not abandon their monarchy at any time and we owe this industrial era to them.
Any leader should work under a committee that can sack the person without ceremony. That is what is important

Meccan women before and after Mohammed

There is the claim by Islam that it is a protector of the women folk. However the reality on the ground says otherwise.
When Mohammed was born, Mecca was such a progressive and liberal society that a woman could be a business owner and employer of men. Khadija the older first wife of Prophet Mohammed was a business woman and his employer before they got married. She was forty and he was twenty five.

Khadija was the one that sponsored Mohammed throughout the over ten years that he preached without gaining up to fifty followers

Is there such a woman in Mecca today. Is there such a woman in the Mecca created by Prophet Mohammed?. Is there? I really don't think so

MaxInDHouse:
All of you are scammers!🤣

Voices heard from the spirit realms are demons and they speak to whoever wants to hear them so if all these religion are hearing from the spirit realms what makes yours special?🙂

Diviners don't claim to hear voices in their heads. They have tools and they can teach you how to use those tools

MaxInDHouse:
So what makes your babalawo more of a better scam than pastors, prophets and alfas?🙂

A diviner is an academic spiritualist. They can teach anybody their methodology of hearing from the spirit realm. Religionists claim to hear voices in their heads. A true Babalawo, well trained have no reason to be a scam artist

MaxInDHouse:
Guy, stop lying.
Your ifá is not a doctor or lawyer rather a spiritual consultant something no one can see any evidence of it other than just to BELIEVE!🤣

It is more difficult to qualify as an ifa priest than to qualify as a lawyer. You learn divination methods which is no different from learning accounting methods. I wonder why you say a Babalawo is not a professional because that is not true

MaxInDHouse:
So they can also issue threat to people and does such threats has anything to do with you seeing the gods for yourself or it's just the priest that will tell you what is going to happen if you don't believe in his so called "ẹbọ"?😀

When any expert give you advise, it is always accompanied by subtle threats against non compliance. This includes doctors, lawyers and etc

MaxInDHouse:
LIE!

There are many cases where the priest talks to close relatives of the person it has happened many times that someone will visit the priest only for the priest to start talking about a relative of his customer.
So do you think the one who disbelieve such a vision won't be punished?🤔

There are quacks in any profession. It is not possible for a real IFA priest to ask you to do ebo when you did not come for consultation. They can advise you to go for consultation though. In any case they will never issue threats about the afterlife. They can issue threats to those who refuse to do ebo but the threats have nothing to do with the afterlife

shiffynaani:
Any book you fit recommend on iyo empire history

I want to have a look abeg

The best book is the History of the Yoruba by Reverend Samuel Johnson though it is biased against my own Ijesa people!

MaxInDHouse:
Is it possible for the ifá priest to see the calamity through his oracle and reveal to a close relative of the unbeliever?

YES.

So it's not only those who believe in your ifá that your ifá used to see visions for just as it applies to all other religions and whoever disregard your ifá is called an unbeliever!🙂

Are you now saying a Babalawo will ask someone to do ebo without the person coming for consultation? That is wrong. The warning to do ebo is only for those who voluntarily go for consultation and not anyone else

MaxInDHouse:
You are a liar!

In ifá unbelief is called "ẹ̀já" Yorùbá will say "ó ń d'ẹ́jà" meaning the person does not or refuses to believe and there is punishment for such according to ifá.

So stop deceiving yourself!🙂

No it means refusing to heed the advise of the ifa priest. Refusing to do ebo. Why would you go to an IFA priest if you want to refuse to heed the advise? Would you go to a lawyer while not wanting to heed his counsel?

In any case there is a well known Olofin called Olofin Adeja who was known for never heeding the advise of ifa priest. Nothing untowards happened to him.

If you go to a Babalawo you would be advised to do ebo for your own good and you would be warned there would be consequences if you don't but not in the afterlife as you seem to think

MaxInDHouse:
Hell means Grave so everyone is going there after death but punishment after death for evil deeds is what all religions and spirituality preaches!🙂

We are talking of punishment for evil which is rational not punishment for unbelief which is clearly irrational

dequir:
Where did you get your own version of bigoted history? The Fulani invaders that the Oyo Calvary wiped out completely at Osogbo in the early 19th century, thus ending the Fulani forage into Yoruba lands forever.

In Osogbo the Oyo used infantry to defeat Ilorin calvary. By the time Ibadan became the Oyo headquarters Oyo was no longer a calvary power. Ibadan relied on infantry as calvary was not effective in the forest. The Oyo empire before the rise of Ibadan relied on Calvary and the Calvary was well feared. I remember reading they stationed over 300k calvary close to Kanem Borno at one point.

Then people defeated in Osogbo were Yoruba Muslims. The Fulani never crossed Bariba land to fight Ibadan. The leader of that particular expedition was Ali the Hausa Balogun of Ilorin whose descendants are now the Emir

MaxInDHouse:
LIE!
There is no religion or spirituality that does not preach damnation for unbelievers!🙂

Can you show me a video clip or even text from someone who is neither Muslim nor Christian saying people will be punished by God for unbelief? Even Jews don't do it. Their laws apply to only them and they don't necessarily preach hell.

Mirasteel:
Islam is a religion of peace, if you don't know now you know and if you think otherwise then you are islamaphobe.

What now are the spiritual practices who don't fight anyone at all and don't preach damnation for unbelievers? I think they are the true peaceful people. Islam and Christianity are of war, disagreements and strife

MaxInDHouse:
So how does that exempted punishment for evil?
In reincarnation it's taught that evildoers will be punished by reincarnating as pigs or ants and other creatures.
So all races believe in punishment for the evil deeds people does now therefore you are only lying to yourself claiming all religions are evil simply because you want to promote your lies that worthless, hopeless, useless and good for nothing ifá should be forced down the throat of everyone but you will be shocked that by the time all religions are banned even your ifá will be categorized as another religion.
Meanwhile there are liars like you using different methods to extort money from people some claims to be Alfa, Prophet, Guru and so on all of them are hiding under the flag of spiritual consultants.
So by the time religion is banned don't think such thieves will be allowed to continue operating o!🙂

There is nothing wrong in preaching punishment for evil. What is wrong is preaching punishment for unbelief

You are off topic with irrelevancies. I wanted to abuse you but was restricted by the bot. Would you support allowing someone to stay in Norway who publicly said he can't befriend Norwegians and will never employ them? You spend your whole time whining about Yoruba men but want to be living among them. How logical is that?

MaxInDHouse:
You love lying to yourself a lot.

All people believe in the day of judgment from God but only true believers do not put God's judgement in their hands they truly believe God will do the right thing at the right time!🙂

Most cultures don't believe in a one off existence. They believe in reincarnation

Fenrir:
My daughter is half yoruba and im ex military. I love my daughter and id be a meat shield for her if she ever needed but as for lagos? Keep your enemies close. Me here posting the law and the the truth. Just because you lack common sense other nationalities dont. I help them sue Nigerian "yoruba families for cultural abuse and human rights violations" the moment someone says no to traditions and culture it becomes "repugnant to natural justice" and an international issue.

Can't you take your daughter and leave? For you to have peace of mind? If I had the means, I would revoke your citizenship and deport you

Fenrir:
I dont keep Yoruba men as friends, I dont even employ them. I just prove them wrong and leave them.
Send an email and arrange where and when.

It is somehow strange to not like a people and still want to live among them. Why not go live among people you like? Are you that queer?. You are very odd indeed

naptu2:
There are many dams in the south-west that were conceived in the late 1970s and early 1980s and they have the potential to generate electricity, but most of them have been abandoned. These include:

Ikere Gorge Dam (Oyo)
 
Oyan Dam (Ogun)

Ogbese Dam (Ekiti)

I hear that DR Congo and Ethiopia are now fully run on renewable energy

Owologbo:
No Christian will burn your shrine without you inviting them.

Christians burned over 100k people on stakes in Europe for being witches during the inquisition. Nothing Islam does can come close to that

Naijahero1:
Put down their names here. Imagine killing close to 200 in cold blood? Do you guys have conscience at all?

There is hardly any Nigerian politician active on social media including the Yoruba that has not condemned what happened. Therefore your post has no basis.

When the currency is not printed recklessly then it will appreciate in value

What is your definition of Yoruba are quiet? Have you taken a census of Yoruba that have reacted to the event? You are just making posts that have no meaning because Yoruba are not quiet about the killings that happened in Kwara state

matotoide:
They are not idol worshippers, they are traditionalists as is their forefathers before them. This a violation of their right to worship and assembly, the perpetrators ought to have been arrested and prosecuted.

Even if they are, idol worshipping is perfectly ok and better than Quran worship and Mohammed worship. Worshipping anything is perfectly ok. It tunes you with nature
