Katsumoto: 9jacrip is correct. Esu is a divine messenger god. He is the messenger between the physical and spiritual world. He is also the enforcer of spiritual justice; when ever man strays away from the instructions of the gods, Orunmila sends Esu to enforce the will of the orisas.
Really? Wait let me recheck.

And your method of argument is better than that of that brainless starfish

OneOpinion: This is so so so heart breaking.... to know that almost all Muslim Missionary Schools in my state(ogun state)are having their identity take a secular look with government doing away with the "MUSLIM" suffix and replacing it with "MOSLEM" in order to ensure that christians get access to quality basic education.

Cos if education was to be based on strictly religious affiliation the truth is that most christian kids in my state will be deprived of quality basic education simply because muslim missionary schools far out numbers that of the christians

Although we as Muslims are not giving thumbs up for the trend but we priotize the need for education for all regardless of whatsoever differences.

Its very much arguable that a change of identity is needless to ensure christians enrolment in these schools.....i guess name change was just to make the christianfolks feel more secured.

And guess what these dudes conduct their christian assemblies and what have you in these schools without incumberance from any quarters....

But in this very case am not seeing any form of name change anywhere and yet they are protesting

I think its high time we re-define what religious bigotry,hypocrisy and intolerance are....

In my opinion all these are well epitomized in the above.

This is in no way good for the health of a nation lost in myriad of problems...
That's for public, i'm in ogun state also, in terms of private reverse is the case, atleast in abeokuta

Pukkah: Over 1,000,000 European Christians were taken as slaves by North Africans from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.

What do you have to say to that?
Africans took Europeans as slaves? Really? Which of them? the egyptians, ethiopians, tunisians or algerians?
My bro go easy on weeds. I'll change my stance if and only if you can give my a sensible proof of that.
I wont consult google for this falacy

9jacrip: [b]I did not want to contribute to this thread in the first place but your !d!0tik and moronic post reverberates ignorance that needs to be 'checked' before other readers take the BS for a fact.

Firstly, I must say whoever taught you all the crap you wrote about Esu either played on your intelligence or shares the same less-discerning mind as yours.

To the matter: Esu is not supposed to and is not a wicked lesser god, Esu is a purveyor of messages between gods and between human and gods. Eus is rather known for being a trickster who plays jokes on non-suspecting folks. He's appeased separately in order for him to help convey a message to the gods or to avoid his jokes/tricks when serious matter needs urgent solutions.

His sacrifices maybe primitive - palm oil, chicken/ducks, Kolanuts etc how are all of these expensive?

The worship of Esu and any of the gods for that matter isn't characterized with fears, please shut up and keep your leprous fingers in your boxers instead of typing garbage.

We understand you and many more have become blinded by imported religion and even believe in it much more than those who brought it upon you, but you need not denigrate African traditional beliefs and spew rubbish as well as lies in your spear campaigns - thank you[/b]

LAST BULLET: Since you prefer BH, I hope Esu makes you fall victim to BH attacks one of these days.
You are a stupid and ignoramus fool, before you comment on a subject your frail mind can't comprehend next time, y dont you aske learned intellectuals (profs) about the subject matter. Esu is nt a messenger god, he is a guard god that protects settlements if pleased that's why his shrine is always at the entrance of a community and yes, he can be wicked when vexed and he is feared, but to prove that, y dont you go to a local community where he is worshipped, ask for his shrine, and pour water on his statue, and mention your nane so as not to cause trouble for the poor community thats when you will understand what 'Esu gbomi mu' is. I'll love to hear your pleasant testimony at the end, sorry if i sound harsh, but i don't take insults lightly, as you must have noticed i've not insulted anyone directly on this thread, you untrained lobstar

Katsumoto: This comment is ignorant on so many levels

1. Were Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindu worshippers, etc not taken as as slaves? It isn't stated anywhere that your religion or beliefs can prevent you being taken into slavery

2. Slavery sometimes require some kind of barter if it isn't achieved through conquest.

3. I am curious to know which Ifa artifacts were taken by the Brits; you have to share.

4. Perhaps in your part of Africa, the Europeans met your forefathers half-naked and jumping from trees with monkeys but the people of SW Nigeria were fully clothed before the arrival of Europeans. It is imbecility of the highest order to assume that everyone lived in caves like your fore-fathers.

5. Twins were not killed in any part of Yorubaland; in fact the incidence of twins in Yorubaland is amongst the highest in the world, if not the highest.


Word of advice - before you jump into the middle of an intellectual exercise, basic ability to read and write properly should be a minimum attainment for you. Your post is laden with all kinds of errors.
dude, you must have read your books upside down cos you got everything mixed up.
1. There were no local christians during the slave era.
2. what is the meaning of this? It doesn't really make much sense.
3. After the slave era, during the wars of colonisation btw local fighters and soldiers, interesting cultural relics were taken. Get a good history text...or google is your friend.
4. Let's assume he exaggerated with that one.
5. All he is trying to say is that all these traditional beliefs begets superstitions. We have our own. Be reasonable.

Word of advice- before you reply a comment, think and analyse it well with an open mind.

Messi j: U mean it? And many of ur fore fathers who worshiped ifa of which present worshippers are no match with, were bought or taking into slavery with a piece of mirror, a boltte of gin and other minor things and D ifa that knw BODMAS couldnt teach them wht those things D white gave them were. Worst of it were, D main juju or Idol carved or cast and kept in inner shirine were joyfully taking by the white as artifacts, as they were curious abt civilization. Only to be realesed aftr u ppl were groomed to civilization to knw wht is right and this civilization and human right is highly forstered by D werstern religion. And if nt 4 it, u this poster should have jumping on tress with D monkey, u will still be half naked and still killing twins.

The fact is, the introduction of ifa studies in our schools will have its negative effects, now the question is when the positive an negative effects are compared, is it worth it? Definitely after learning some ifa secretes in school some kid go in the line of reviving the dark arts(whether we like it or not there will be bad eggs), is that what we need in this nation now? The revitalisation of the primitive era of superstitions and shutting down of economic activities for the celebration of some funky festivals with some abnormal activities when the rest of the world is going in another direction is not what we need. There are security, economic and power issues to be faced..
But like someone rightly said, as long as it's not compulsory, there'ld be no problems.

What are you all saying, most of you are displaying a higher level of ignorance than sincere9girian, Esu? He is supposed to be the most powerfull and most wicked god among the lesser gods and you want us to revive him? His sacrifises are primitive and expensive(in terms of palm oil, chickens and so on, i think sometimes humans are need if he has been vexed), i didnt get these facts from films, these are what i was taught so no ajebutter born and bred in the city should open his smelly ignoramus mouth to say what he doesn't know,the worship of Esu is characterised with fear, ask any yoruba professor you knw especially those in UI. Btw BH and Esu, BH is better, atleast the death is less painful and humiliating

Do you know how Christianity was before the present age?
The worst that has happened in the history of christianity as recorded in historical books is the numerous wars between England(Anglican) and italy/portugal(catholic/protestant) and i prefer that to being sacrificed for simple sins

abes: What is wrong with having more babalawos in the future? visiting a babalawo is not by force just like you are not forced to visit a pastor. Learn to be tolerant of other people's religion and culture. You have the mindset of an average boko haram member, in the case 'culture haram'.
you seem to have forgotten the era of human sacrifices and diabological evil, if you've been slapped with one of these 'funnx diabological' rings before, you won't be spewing this nonsense.

EMILO2STAY: only lazy, dishonest and greedy people obey their pastors when they say God only multiplies ur wealth when u give him 10percent of ur income. People should take time to study the bible for themselves to c the truth about tithe before they open their mouth to support a lie.
And only poor, stingy people will try to justify their inadequacies by twisting the word of God and trying to confuse others.

Matthew briggs: People of the lord praaaaaise the lord. Around 3 years ago I was not a regular tither, in fact I stopped tithing, it was not funny at all. Financial scarcity dealt with me. Menh that period was very horrible for me.

After a personal encounter with God's word, I understood the immense blessing that comes with tithing. I discovered that tithing does not only save me from financial devourers but ensures that the windows of heaven is always kept open for me, for the blessings therein, to fall with out ceasing . After this revelation I became a dedicated tither. Since then the last thing I worry about is lack of money or financial scarcity.

If worse come to worse I halla baba God. I tell him.. "Sir I don do my part, oya do your own!, I know you as God wey no fit fall my hand"....my tithe gives me boldness in front of him when I go asking for his favour. He knows I will not think twice when it comes to investing in his Kingdom with whatever he blesses me with.

Tithing has transformed my life. God now knows he has a stake in my success, he therefore moves mountains to ensure I never lack.

U know what i think, i think you are either poor, broke, or in debt, which makes it difficult for you to pay your tithe, and you are consoling/giving yourself excuses, if not, 10% of your income JUST incase the pastor is right won't be a problem, but you are not supposed to lead others astray with your issues.

No offence , but i think this is the situation and i believe i'm right
