Martian: Easy.

[b]The gods created two divine siblings, brother Izanagi and sister Izanami, who stood upon a floating bridge above the primordial ocean. Using the jeweled spear of the gods, they churned up the first island, Onogoro. Upon the island, Izanagi and Izanami married, and gave forth progeny that were malformed. The gods blamed it upon a breach of protocol. During the marriage ritual, Izanami, the woman, had spoken first. Correctly reprising their marriage ritual, the two coupled and produced the islands of Japan and more deities. However, in birthing Kagutsuchi-no-Kami, the fire god, Izanami died. Traumatized, Izanagi followed her to Yomi, the land of the dead. Izanami, having eaten the food of Yomi, could not return. When Izanagi suddenly saw Izanami's decomposing body, he was terrified and fled. Izanami, enraged, pursued him, accompanied by hideous women. Izanagi hurled personal items at them, which transformed into diversions. Escaping the cavern entrance of Yomi, he blocked it with a boulder, thus permanently separating life from death[/b]

Some say these gods were really Ancient Alien Astronauts.

Seun: We cannot revert the whole thing. It's technically very difficult and expensive and would hurt our traffic immensely. That would be suicide. What we can do, however, is correct specific things that are wrong with the new Nairaland. We've corrected saturation, brightness, and readability of board pages, and we will correct more things. This is our platform, and we can do anything we want with it. Our imagination is the limit to what we can achieve here.

So what is stopping you from making it look and act like the old one?

Except for murder, slavery has got to be one of the most immoral things a person can do. Yet slavery is rampant throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. The Bible clearly approves of slavery in many passages, and it goes so far as to tell how to obtain slaves, how hard you can beat them, and when you can have sex with the female slaves.

Many Jews and Christians will try to ignore the moral problems of slavery by saying that these slaves were actually servants or indentured servants. Many translations of the Bible use the word "servant", "bondservant", or "manservant" instead of "slave" to make the Bible seem less immoral than it really is. While many slaves may have worked as household servants, that doesn't mean that they were not slaves who were bought, sold, and treated worse than livestock.

The following passage shows that slaves are clearly property to be bought and sold like livestock.

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46)

The following passage describes how the Hebrew slaves are to be treated.

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6)

Notice how they can get a male Hebrew slave to become a permanent slave by keeping his wife and children hostage until he says he wants to become a permanent slave. What kind of family values are these?

The following passage describes the sickening practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave?

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11)

So these are the Bible family values! A man can buy as many sex slaves as he wants as long as he feeds them, clothes them, and screws them!

What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don't die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing.

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21)

You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2)

In the following parable, Jesus clearly approves of beating slaves even if they didn't know they were doing anything wrong.

The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48)

Gays don't marry in those days.

I am beginning to like this sanusi mallam. He is just showing the rest of us how foolish we are.

shymmex: Is English your 10th language? It seems you skipped English classes in school. I can't understand what the heck you posted

See this one. Abeg dey speak your mother tongue because your "corrections" are sh.it.
The original was ok and gramatically correct. Your correnctions are either wrong or portend other meanings than the one intended by the originator.

Akwasi: I did something horrible yesterday and today. Each time, my conscience kept pounding me. As I reflected on how my conscience was beating me, I realized that Darwin's nonsense cannot explain this. My fellow Christians, we are really privileged to come to the realization that GOD exist.

Let us continue to pray for those who have not come to that realization yet.

Who did you ra.pe in the name of jesus?

buzugee: first off you dont know what you are talking about. the bible is a HISTORY book as well as a book of LAWS and PROPHESYS. when you read about slavery in the bible, you are reading about the history of a people called the israelites and all the slavery they went through from the egyptian to babylonian to assyrian and then the prophesy of their american slavery. this is not condoning it. you are reading history. what happens to all those who enslaved the israelites ? they all got destroyed by the lord. the only people left to be destroyed for their slavery is america.
why do you think the somalians and ethiopians are always in famine and hunger and starvation ? they were the ancient egyptians (somalians) and ancient babylonians (ethiopians) who had the israelites in slavery. its americas turn soon. so the bible does not condone slavery. its obvious you havent read the book in its entirety.

Not only did the biblical god sanction slavery, he laid out rules on slave acquision, treatment and ownership.

Exodus 21:1 “These are the laws you are to set before them:

Hebrew Servants
2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ 6 then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.
…
20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Lev 25:1 The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai…

Lev 25:39 ” ‘If one of your countrymen becomes poor among you and sells himself to you, do not make him work as a slave. 40 He is to be treated as a hired worker or a temporary resident among you; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 Then he and his children are to be released, and he will go back to his own clan and to the property of his forefathers. 42 Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves. 43 Do not rule over them ruthlessly, but fear your God.

44 ” ‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

47 ” ‘If an alien or a temporary resident among you becomes rich and one of your countrymen becomes poor and sells himself to the alien living among you or to a member of the alien’s clan, 48 he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his relatives may redeem him: 49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself. 50 He and his buyer are to count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price for his release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired man for that number of years. 51 If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption a larger share of the price paid for him. 52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to compute that and pay for his redemption accordingly. 53 He is to be treated as a man hired from year to year; you must see to it that his owner does not rule over him ruthlessly.

54 ” ‘Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee, 55 for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

The bible permits slavery with direct commandments from God. The rules are somewhat complicated, with differences between Hebrews vs. gentiles and men vs. women. The verses above are not all the rules on slavery, but they are direct quotes from God if you believe the bible to be literal.

For Hebrews, slavery was a way to pay off a debt. After 6 years of work, a Hebrew slave would be set free in the year of Jubilee – as long as the slave is male. A father has the right to sell his daughter into slavery. Exodus 21:7-11 describe rules for selling a daughter as slave, but the verses seem to interchange female slavery and marriage.

Exodus 21:20-21 permit slave owners to beat their slaves so that they are unconscious for 2-3 days!

Leviticus 25:44-45 describes how gentile slaves are to be treated, which is very different from Hebrew slaves. Gentile slaves are not to be set free in the year of Jubillee but are passed from father to son as an inheritance.

Another thing to point out is the Exodus 21 is one chapter after the 10 commandments in Exodus 20. Most American Christians who promote displaying the 10 commandments with taxpayer money have no idea where the 10 commandments are located, much less any idea that slavery is endorsed only a few sentences after these commandments. If we have the right to display Exodus 20 with tax money, then don’t we have the right to display Exodus 21 with tax money?

Olumogun: hummm!
I had gone through almost all the posting here.
As my people will say: "OMODE O MOGUN, O NPE NI EFO."
Simple Meaning; that babies do not understand spiritual things.

If you don't believe, that does not change anything.
If you believe, it is for you to take caution not to be enslaved.

Through the battles of the night (dreams), many have gone! a lot more are in bondage!
Those that are affected knows what they are passing through. you can call it infatuation, hallucination, psychological issue or whatever, no problem.

My simple prayer however is: may you not be overpowered by the power of the night (dream).

But for those who care, read through the following carefully:
You definitely need deliverance/counselling if any of the following is happening to you.
1. Do you eat/fly in your dreams?
2. Do you swim/see large rivers in your dreams?
3. Do you have sex with known/unknown faces in your dreams? Are you raped in your dream?
4. Do you get engaged, married, pregnant or breast feed babies in your dreams?
5. Are you attacked by or you are playing with certain animals like cat, rat, dog, snake, fish, snail etc in your dream?
6. Do you attend village meetings, parties, go to village square, or local markets in your dreams?
7. Do you see masquerades in your dreams?
8. Do you have incisions or ritual marks on your body? Have you slept in or eat in any shrine?
9. Do you offer yourself for spiritual bath in the river, or at road junctions, or at mid-nights?
10. Do you see, talk to, eat with or fight with dead relations/persons in your dreams?
11. Do you see yourself in strange mansions, palaces, old schools (wearing old uniforms)?
12. Do you experience repeated set-backs, broken engagements, or disappointments even when there is no reason for such?
13. Do you see yourself falling off mountain, cliff or ladder? Or someone taking away your seat in the dream?
14. Do you have any blood covenants with anyone? (it does not matter what you used in making it).
15. Are you dedicated to any gods or shrine? (those of us who are from traditional home/family should ask questions from the elders)
16. Do you have insatiable sexual urge/appetite? (sex is good within the godly limit)
17. Are you involved in illicit sexual acts like incest, sodomy, lesbianism, homosexual, rape?
18. Do you always hear strange voices talking to you or calling your name when alone/sleeping?
19. Are you always indecisive and confused?
20. Do your clothes, wears, money or valuable just disappearing from your house, only to re-appeared sometimes later?
21. Are you experiencing miscarriages after seeing red objects, cloths, pepper, or your pregnancy just disappeared?
22. Are you under any known/unknown curses?
23. Do people just hates you without reasons? Or you know you are a victim of rejection?
24. Is there any negative pattern that repeats in your life and family, e.g untimely death, diseases, poverty, or deformity?

I can go on and on, but like I say, some will say they don't believe. For those that see reason to ask for help, pls seek such help with your eyes open, else you end up getting into more spiritual problems.
God bless U all.

To add to this insightful warning.

Do you breath regularly when you wake up from your dreams?
Are mosquitos always singing in your ears at night?
Are you unable to spend a whole day without the unquenchable need to drink water?
Do you wish you have more money than you actually have?

Please seek help if any of these happen to you. Only children will not understand spiritual things. Warning. A word is enough for the wise.

naijasexy: Yeah, I already searched. They are basically just male and female names for these demons. Why would you say Nigeria is still in the stone age as regards this issue?

Because they are stone age beliefs. Do your research.

so did u get your passport?

i was going to say something tribalistic but then i don't think it was suicide.

Dede1: Since you started cleaning the Alhaji’s blokos, you seemed to have lost every sense of decency. As usual, you came close to busting the truth wide open and suddenly misfired through citing UAE as an example. UAE is like any country that has too much money and willing to buy any junk.

Northern region could perform better than some of its southern counterparts because of language. Most northerners can read and write in whatever language that is central in the north. Like Japan, a genius in engineering field could hardly speak a word of English language yet such person could build any structure known to man in engineering world. It is good to copy or even emulate others but one has do so in one’s natural environment.

The major benign of Africa's advancement is the inability to write Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry etc in its native tongue. Any country that has taken giant step into the development of mankind, whether it is Russia, Britain, China, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain or USA has done so through the medium of mother tongue.

usa does not have a mother tongue

freecocoa: So you call picking pockets at the slightest chance,smoking igbo,drinking recklessly,womanizing,inability to make one complete and correct sentence in english,no zeal for education, spending money with reckless abandon,teenage pregnancy etc being wise?hmm i must be missing something.

Living through that makes you very wise.

Onitsha is the best place to be in the east if you hate boredom. All those other places may look good but they are full of lazy boring people. You may like it the first few weeks but afterwards, the law of diminishing return sets in. In Onitsha, there's always something happening somewhere, always something to do. Very easy to make money. Your offsprings brought up in onitsha are generally wiser than their counterparts in every other city.

So, if you want a live city, go to onitsha. If you want a retirement home, go to enugu or calabar.

Fulani sent adekunle to exile
Fulani sent Abiola to early grave
Fulani sent abiola's wife to go join her husband
Fulani slapped shonekan out of office
Fulani spared obasanjo for giving them sharia
Fulani messed up oladipo diya he started crying "mama moooo mummy m where are you?"
Fulani trapped, jailed, condemned and later decided to let go disgracefully Yoruba General Tajudeen Olanrewaju
Fulani cow herders kill and ra.pe yoruba (in yorubaland) whenever they feel like it
Idiagbon wanted to do gragra, Fulani told him to sit down. Guess what he did? Yes. Right. Sat his silly Bottom down like a good boy.
Fulani sent fawehimi to jail countless times.
Fulani sent fela and family to jail countless times. killed her mama and drove him mad.
Fulani letter bombed dele giwa in his own office.
Fulani is making Soyinka talk nonsense and deny his people. He is now licking igbo's a.s.s as insurance against fulanis 'cos he knows he can't count on his brothers.

Callotti: Mu he he he he he
As you can see, I am immune to plotting haterz. Some of were not born Mgbekes with low self-esteem issues.
Thank you 'friend'!

Talking about the North. . .it is all about evolution.
The only constant thing in life is change.
Even the North can't stay backwards for ever, just like the South.

No matter how you change your name, I can still smell your stink from far away.

Contributing to nigeria is like pouring pure water into the ocean.
an exercise in futility and foolishness.
nigeria should be left to rot and disntegrate.
I can't wait to see ofemmanus queuing up for visa at the biafran embassy in lagos.

Onlytruth: hmm, ndu-chucks I did not know that you are also a coward. I know you are a leprous snake hiding in the sand to strike at your unsuspecting victim, but I never knew you are also a REAL coward. hehe!
So, all the praise you poured on Ojukwu in the last few weeks as he was accorded WORLD ACCLAIM during his burial was just an Yoruba hot air? It was all a farce ko?
Not that I ever believed you anyway, but to think that you are so cowardly.
Nna na wa o.
You are now a fully CERTIFIED Yoruba coward.
BTW I amended your mantra to suit facts.
We shall help you fulfill it insha allah.

Eze Onlytruth you dey fall my hand. How can you not know a coward when you see one?
Listen, all, and I mean ALL Yoruba people are cowards. They are never to be trusted. Do not ever make the mistake of trusting an Yoruba or you will regret forever.

Parasitism is defined by a behavioural characteristics and not the physical appearance of an organism.
North is parasistic. Parasitism cannot change you to become something else except a parasite.
Even if all the oyel in the south were sent to the north, you will still find a way to remain poor and feed on other poeple's wealth. That is how you are.
Lord Luggard understood this and made the south the unwilling host in this relationship.
However, with the changing world and new technology the south is learning to adapt and control the parasite to the the extent that the parasites are starting to experiment with self-extermination.
Future predicts that the south will sooner than later rid itself of the northern parasites.

solelymade: Is it a must u nerd,barbaric & sanctimonious igbo guy kill urselfs today because of d failure of ur lazy,cueless & coward father ojukwu. wat legacy is there to evangelise to d world about a coward father who his stupid pple couldn't give refuge but sought refuge in far away Ivory coast for fear of being slain like a sacrificial lamb but successful left d stupid pple he led to war in d hands of d devourer.

Cowardice is associated with one tribe and only one tribe alone in the whole world.
Go to america, ask anybody on the street, uk, france, russia, south africa, ghana. Everybody know of the yoruba cowardice.
Even yorubas avoid their own people everywhere.
