This initiation is just a Fraction "one one thousandth" of the usual one. A complete one is done just once in 1000 years, more than once would lead to physical death. There are 7 stages because 7 represent completion. 7 spectrum of light, 7 tones of sound etc. That means 7000 years. We actually did live up to 7000 years and more, and We will again. After the seven stages of ritual or initiation are complete, You are then A God(with a capital G or Goddess) All these initiation can only be done in Africa(include mideast, they are all black area). Africa is where the sun strikes, that causes the movement of the earth.

I also heard where it was stated that they were locked away for a while, Usually it is 40 days without food or water in a place called "Garden of Eden". It is actually the exam. once passed, celebration takes place.

That is why all Black people must come back home. Ile ni apoti wa.

Hahaha......Kilagbe, Kileju? Egbon Musiwa is that you?..lol

gatiano:
xaxaxaxa, They will, to Yorubaland, Igboland, Fulaniland, Zululand, Tutsiland, Hutsiland etc. They will come home.

gatiano:
Beautiful pictures. That is the preparation of them coming back. Yes, they laboured there in the americas, infact, Black had always been there even before the indians, let alone the europeans. They would all have to come home first. Every Black person on earth will converge in the whole of Africa which include the middle-east which is infact Northeast Africa, it only got splitted in 1850. Europeans too would go back into europe, all of them. Every man unto his or her own.

It had already started.

Hahahha....very funny, you actually remind me of someone i know, anyway asking all black people in the whole world to move to Africa is just a fantasy that will never happens, having said that i know of many africa america and blacks in caribean that are currently in nigeria (south west) learning about yoruba religion/cultures.

more pictures and video....

Odunde Festival, the nation's largest African-American street festival, has been getting bigger and bigger for decades. Now celebrating its 40th year, Odunde's day of arts, culture and family fun returns Sunday, June 14 to its traditional South Street West location.

The festival, a concept which came from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, includes a beautiful procession that walks from 23rd and South Street to the Schuylkill River with an offering for Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of the river. Sprawling out over 12 southwest Center City blocks, the rest of the day includes live entertainment on two stages and a marketplace with over 100 craft and food vendors from African nations, the Caribbean and Brazil.

The live entertainment features dance and music, including performances by the ODUNDE365 children's program, an open mic, PHILADANCO and the African Heritage Dancers. A group of hip-hop legends will close out the night in celebration of Odunde's big anniversary: Kurtis Blow, Chubb Rock, Special Ed and Kwame will all perform.

last year ODUNDE festival pictures

Capital NO!!, especially because this is what white American really want. America is an immigrants country and African American has contributed immensely to is development, its simply their birth right and they should not throw it away in the name of ancestry heritage. I believed a lot can be done though by the african america in identify with african in general apart from taking african names.....lol, for example there is a yearly ODUNDE festival tomorrow in Philadelphia which has been described as the largest African America street festival. This festival started about 40 years ago and it has been getting bigger ever since.

Ilê Aiyê means house of life in Yoruba. Ilê Aiyê is also a musical group and a way of thinking and appreciating the black way of life. In Bahia the group is an institution and Vovô, its founder and director, an inspiration.

Ilê Aiyê was founded on November 1st 1974 by Vovô and his friend, the late Apolônio de Jesus. They chose the neighborhood of Liberdade, Freedom, for the headquarters of their movement. Liberdade was settled by former slaves after the abolition of slavery in 1888 to celebrate their newly found liberty.

However, as is the case with many groups with no political influence, its people are largely overlooked and neglected by local and national politicians as well as sponsors. When Vovô founded Ilê Aiyê, he took on his shoulders a lifetime of commitment to improve the conditions of his neighborhood of some 400,000 people as well as those of all Brazilians of African descent.

Music is the main argument of Ilê Aiyê. At Carnaval in 1975, it became the first Afro bloco, Afro group, to march in a Carnaval parade. The Associação Cultural Bloco Carnavalesco Ilê Aiyê, Cultural Association Carnaval Group Ilê Aiyê has as its aim to preserve the Afro culture in Brazil. During the past 24 years, the organization has been responsible for awakening within the black population of Bahia, the awareness of its African roots. And at the center of it all is Mãe Hilda, mother of Vovô, and mãe de santo, priestess, of Candomblé. She is the spiritual leader and foremost authority of Ilê Aiyê.

Inspired by the Black Power movement of the United States and the struggle for independence in many African nations, the backbone of the movement is to be found in Candomblé, the religious expression brought from Africa under the most horrendous of circumstances—that of the slave ships with their inhumane cargo.

In spite of opposition from slave owners and other hardships endured, the survivors managed to preserve tradition, religion, music, and language, which today is part of the Portuguese spoken by some 160 million Brazilians. Every Brazilian, however far removed from African descent, now uses expressions brought by people hundreds of years ago, who had nothing left but the contents of their minds.

The Afro-Brazilian organization begun by Ilê Aiyê spawned many other similar groups in the 70s and 80s. They helped spreading the word and rhythm of Afro-Brazil around their own country as well as throughout the world. Even the most mainstream of musicians in Brazilian Popular Music, MPB, have been touched by those rhythms. People like Caetano Veloso, Lecy Brandão, Gilberto Gil, and Martinho da Vila, have included the influence in their own work.

Over the years, Ilê Aiyê has developed a number of projects praising the Afro culture. One of these is the Festa da Beleza Negra, the Feast of the Black Beauty. It is a competition in which a girl is chosen to represent the Goddess of Ébano. Furthermore, there are the Black Mother's Day and the Music Festival. Many group rehearsals have also been included in the calendar of events of Salvador.

63. Ife head

Head of an Oni, one of the rulers of Ife in Nigeria, one of medieval Africa’s most powerful and wealthy kingdoms.

Listen to this programme on the BBC

This head probably depicts an Ooni, a ruler of the West African kingdom of Ife that flourished between AD 1100 and 1500. The portrait-like realism of Ife heads is unique in African art. This naturalism astonished art historians when the first Ife heads were brought to Europe in 1911. One German explorer even proposed they were made by Greek settlers in Africa - the origins of Plato's Atlantis myth. Eighteen heads have been found in total, and their stylistic similarities suggest that they were made by an individual artist or in a single workshop.

What was life like in medieval Africa?

The kingdom of Ife first emerged around AD 800. It was one of several competing West African kingdoms that developed during the medieval period. Ife's power and wealth was probably partly derived from its access to the lucrative Niger River trade routes, connecting it to the wider trade networks of West Africa and the Sahara. Today Ife is regarded as the spiritual heartland of the Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria. Ife is celebrated as the place of origin of mankind, where the gods descended from heaven to populate the world.

The monument was erected in 1986, near Praça Onze (Plaza Eleven), commissioned as part of a celebration of negritude under the administration of Governor Leonel Brizola. The head is 3 meters tall and is cast from 800 kilos of bronze. As no one knows for sure exactly what Zumbi looked like, the head was modelled after the famous Ife Head from Nigeria, still held captive in the British Museum. The monument is located on Avenida Presidente Vargas, a main thoroughfare in the city.

I guess theres no more land in delta state to build governors lodge and soon they will start telling a private business (ladol) to come and invest in niger delta.

denko:
Nigerian should be be ready to demand from them whatever they have promised. NO ROOM FOR FAILURE JONATHAN WAS BAD (According to APC) THAT IS WHY YOU WHERE VOTED FOR.

Im sure you know lagos is not borrowing money to pay salaries right?

Stand up for arresa!, this is simply educational and i hope this thread will put an end to any future comparision between the two governoon.

ba7man:
I seriously want Lagos decongested. Its getting ridiculous.


But people like Asari and other millitants that blow up investments and kidnap workers if they don't pay them make the ND unattractive to any sane investor. As long as these are your representatives, its only millitancy and oil bunkering that will be attracted to the ND region.

Lagos is not going to be decongested anytime soon until most of all our useless governoon start attract investment to their state. I will personally consider APC a failure in the next 4 years if they failed to link lagos economically with neighbouring state.

theV0ice:
No...the company WON'T BE USING crude from ND because it's not a refinery, petrochemical plant or gas plant. It's unfortunate and hilarious that you don't know yet you've been hyperventilating since morning.




Of course they've built it in lagos and even if you wish, your angry strokes on your keyboard won't interfere with the progress they're making in lagos.

The worst you can do is rant......which is what you're doing now




You can't care even if you tried since you have no single idea about what is being discussed. Imagine you asking if they'll be using crude from the ND

Next time you wish to come rant on a public forum, the least you can do is use Google to update yourself so you don't come display gross ignorance in public.

Thank you, many people that have been commenting have no idea what FPSO is all about....smh

agrovick:
Peruse my post, I didn't say so. All I said was that the possible reason why Niger deltans are not getting the job is because they are not qualified. It was a response to somebody who had the mindset that the locals should be given the jobs irrespective of their qualifications

Sorry, i miss quote you....

agrovick:
I do not know how the situation of things is over there but did it ever occur to you that the reason why the owners of the oil beg for employment is simply because they do not have the qualifications to hold high positions in those companies?

Are you for real?, so a private company should be force to setup their company in niger delta at all cost...

royal231:
Please listen to yourself... where will the project be more viable?? Lagos or bayelsa ....

So dem go run oik pipelines from Niger delta to Lagos? ?how much expenses will that cost??

Please google what this project is about before you quote me again. You can always come back and thank me later...

royal231:
That doesn't mean that it can't be located in bayelsa.. abia state government owns palm plantations in badagry Lagos. .. the same people that preach 1 nigeria can't practice it... a whole government can't be confident enough to setup an institution in a place more viable...hmmmmmm

This is 500million dollars businees we are talking about and im sure the owner of the company would have considered other places before deciding citing this project in lagos. Abia state would not have cited their palm oil plantation company in badagry just for the sake of it aswell. I hope you know Business is about making profit...

royal231:
Yourbas with mouth.... which oil una think say una go mill for there.... I dey laugh una double standards.... have u been reading the news to know what is going on in the creeks.. so you think there will be a functioning pipeline that will supply the oil when the pipeline that goes into the antlatic which is closer to the Niger delta has Been shut down ... una go construct come dey use am do una urine. ... it's not feasible in this zoo called nigeria.. upon all Jonathan did for the North you southerners won't see common sense that the northerner is insatiable and totally ethnocentric. .. imagine even the so called Christians in the north that looked the other side when boko haram started killing the ibos don't also see anything good Jonathan did for their regions. .. Niger delta good morning... soon those indegenous northern tribes being ruled by fulanis will see what we are talking about... then that will be their own good morning... as for the yorubas...do me a favour ...liberate both kwara and Kogi states before ever standing up to an ibo man

By manie:
The project is done by LADOL, the shareholders are institutional investors, foreign investors and Lagos state government. FG came into project in the last minute through NPA, when they saw how viable the project will be due to the scrambling by foreign investors for ownership in LADOL.


LADOL means Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics
