Very tragic and inhumane, even animals are better off.

O.p you're intentionally trying to bash Christianity. this isn't a Christian thing so you didnt need to involve Christianity here. Abrahamic laws are dead and gone. Name one christian country in which this has happened?? huh?

you brought up a story of Mohammad and how he commanded that two adulterers be stoned to death but failed to relate it with the story of JESUS and the adulterous woman. Christianity doesn't support killing. the bible says THOU SHALL NOT KILL, there were no conditions attached to this.

Its in your bible. . Whether you choose to practice it or not. As long as you profess the same God of the jews to be your god

So conditions? Yet David was a killer, so was Moses who issued that law

Rilwayne001:
I see no reason why she should be punish for being a victim of rape, as tartar said, she might have commited another crime.

The news looks so fake.

This isn't the only case. For as long as Arabs have existed, they punish the victims for the rape on grounds of inciting Sexual desire or something, not raising a loud enough alarm, not having a male guardian with you. ..even the hebrews did same ... sometimes they force the victim to marry the rapist, cus no other man would marry her and the rapist feels like her savior.

This is the wicked people you fools follow as ur masters? People who have no regard for their mothers, sisters and daughters? And fools like you would be agitating for such nonsensical sharia law

Dnacode:
Until people come to understand that most likely Eden was another planet n which God planted a garden in and placed Adam inside the garden of planet Eden, they will always make they mistake of putting evolution apart from creation.

Until they realize that Adam(a new spiritual genetic experiment) was expelled from planet Eden and placed on earth when he fell and that earth already had some humans who were mere products of evolution when Adam was forced to live on earth.

That we basically had two groups of pple on earth; children of Adam and children of the earth(evolution) and that over time the two germ lines mixed but the Adamic germline (through Noah) survived the flood while that of the children of evolution were wiped out.

Avoid putting religion into every hypothesis

bigfrancis21:
I think it is Yoruba. Or what language do you think it is then?

It is yoruba but originally from Hausa

Examples in Japanese:

Honorifics used only as suffixes

-san
The most common honorific, and the one most familiar to non-Japanese. Roughly equivalent to most everyday English honorifics, it is generally employed with someone of the same social station as yourself, but can be used any time you need to be generically polite. This is commonly translated and most closely related to the English "Mr." or "Ms." However, it's often dropped entirely in translations, since it's used in contexts where any honorific at all would seem excessively formal in English. (Example: high school students addressing each other with "Mr." or "Ms." would come across as overly formal)
-han
Kansai-ben version of -san. Not used very much if the vowel sound of the last character ends with "i" , "u" or "n".
-sama
A term of great respect, one step higher than -san. In fantasy or historical contexts, it's generally translated as lord/lady or a similar term, but since modern English really has no honorific expressing such extreme deference, Mr. or Ms. usually has to do. In situations where there isn't a massive gap in social status between the speaker and the person being addressed, the use of -sama can border on grovelling. However, it has some standard uses: it's a flattering way for a business.company to address its customers and clients; it's used when addressing letters to friends; and a young woman may playfully use it for a guy she has a massive crush on.

Honorifics also used as regular/standalone words

-senpai/-sempai
Usually translated as "upperclassman" in stories set in high school or college, but it more precisely means "mentor" or "senior", depending on context; it is also used in workplaces, clubs, organizations etc. for employees/members with seniority in relevance to the speaker. Due to differences between romanization systems, it can be spelled in Western languages as either "senpai" {Kunrei} or "sempai" {Hepburn}. (Both spellings are technically correct; the former is a closer transliteration of the Japanese spelling, but the latter better reflects the actual pronunciation.) Senpai/sempai can be attached to the end of someone's name or be used on its own.
-kouhai
The inverse of -senpai/-sempai, meaning someone of a lower class year or lower seniority than the speaker. It's not strictly speaking an honorific since it's not normally attached to a name, and it's considered rude to use to a person's face.
-sensei
Literally means "one who has come before". Usually heard in English referring to martial arts masters. Also applies to doctors, teachers, and masters of any profession or art. It is also standard for professional writers who are classed as teachers. In short, the rule of thumb runs thus: doctors, teachers, lawyers, writers and scientists who got their doctorates are called "sensei" automatically; with the others it's debatable. In recent years this has become an all-purpose suck-up word, and is now more often used sarcastically than as a genuinely respectful term. This has brought complaints of Dude, Where's My Respect? from real masters and artists. Those who routinely read the liner notes of manga will notice that this is still used as a term of respect for - and between - prominent manga artists (e.g. "Akamatsu-sensei" for Ken Akamatsu).

Reminds me of Naruto, I learnt all this from the Anime

lawani:
He did not mistake anything in my opinion. There were several states when Oduduwa arrived. Some were so established that they did not take a new prince from the new dynasty in Ife, some retreated into the hills and established new identities named after ancient empires. This is more common in Ondo and Ekiti. Ijebu and Owu married princesses from Ife. Patrilineally, the Awujale should be taken as descended from an ancient Sudanese royal family in Wadai just as the story is passed down.

How exactly does sudan fit into all this? make me understand that


btw Nobody retreated from Oduduwa except the Ilaje(this is even disputed as some consider the event to have begun much after Oduduwa's reign), and no yoruba settlement is known to be named after any Empire

also the Awujale is known all over Yorubaland to be a son of Oduduwa

I don't see the problem. When whites dress like iidiots why not wear Egungun costume?. .. Egungun is African. .so there, problem of neglecting our culture is solved

Egungun has a more reasonable reason behind its celebration- Our ancestors. .whom without you will not be alive

lawani:
According to Yoruba account, all human beings emanated from the first spot on Earth where land rose above the waters and started to expand. That spot is called Ife or Ufe meaning expansion. That spot might be anywhere in the world for all we know. There probably have been very many Ifes. What the Awujale meant is that his dynasty did not emanate from the present Ife in Osun state established by the Meccan, Oduduwa and this is right. Ijebu Eredo was a contemporary if not greater than the Ife in Osun state. Owu is another dynasty that did not emanate from the new Ife but they both formed alliance. The long and short of it is that Ijebu which is a center for Ifa studies can not claim to not be from Ife but they can claim to have an identity that predates Oduduwa who arrived recently. The Oyo, Benin, Ijesha and etc can not make any such claim. However all human beings according to Yoruba thought are descended from the series of ancient Ifes that declined.

"That Ife could be anywhere in the world". .. Interesting

Awujale really missed a big point. .He must have mistaken the "Owodaiye" in Ife Owodaiye for Waddai. But "Ife Owodaiye" isn't peculiar to the Ijebu. All yoruba relate with that

Radoillo:
I'm still not understanding why the absence of 'MKP-' and similar formations in Yoruba makes it the original language. We have already demonstrated that this is a very widespread and ancient feature in Bantu and some Eastern Nigerian Languages (Igbo, Ibibio, etc). Why would the absence of this ancient feature in Yoruba make it the original language? It doesn't make philological sense.

In fact, from the point of view of phonetic complexity, I can make the argument that Igbo is a more ancient language than Yoruba. Linguists know that ancient languages have a greater deal of phonetic complexity than 'younger' languages which often show signs of having been simplified.

In one of your previous posts u were talking about the absence of "kp" in yoruba. Well, "kp" exists as "P" in writing. Anyone that reads yoruba knows that you pronounce "p" as "Kp".

But I do agree that Igbo is older than the mainstream yoruba dialect.... western yoruba dialects are also considered less complex than the eastern, probably cus of the greater exposure to the Oyo dialect

uplawal:
They dnt ever say education is a sin,they says the ones western taught or the ways they are taught is sins,not education in its entirety,muslims value education so well if you dnt know,but will never do the ones limiting the majesty or advocating against nature/islam.science and technology is never from western,they
are products of earliest muslims,so also is inventions,all these are not from western they are from muslims.

Like I said education comes in different forms. Western or otherwise. .. No form of education should be tagged a "sin"

DikeOha882:
You know when people have an opinion about you and just can't wait for the right moment to let you know...:-). Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi aka Mr Hollywood reacts to Kunle Afolayan's tweets

"I almost ignored Kunle Afolayan's useless tweets about Igbos being the only Pirates in Nigeria because to me, Kunle is just an over rated Nollywood film maker. He's not better than Izu Ojukwu, Teco Benson, Obi Emelonye, Chineze Anyaene to mention but a few. 
The secret of Kunle is his DOP Yinka Davies who does everything for him and at the end of the day Kunle will just come and announce 'action'... Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises his kinsmen showers on him. Kunle should thank Peace Anyiam Osigwe for giving him the platform of AMAA as a pedestal to limelight. Trust me, if Kunle walks the street of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or any where outside yoruba land, not even one person will recognise him as a celebrity. I will rather worry myself with the Oba's threat to Ndi igbo than spend one second of my time thinking about Kunle's senseless tweets about the Igbos.

Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi that jobless hag? Seriously? Kunle must have ignored the attention seeker.
If Kunle's tweets were senseless and not worth a worry why reply to it? Joblessness?

DikeOha882:
You are pathetic with this comment, comparing joke to Mama G and olu jacobs to Pete Edochie

Did you see any lie there? If you think I hold a wrong notion. . kindly put things straight with known facts or shut up

Wow!! Lovely.......

This joke no dey tire una?

thesource:
Hmm, hmmm, hmmmmm, i don't even know what to say, because i'm fed up with everything. I feel so powerless, frustrated and forsaken everytime i wake up in the morning, my life is stagnant, no progress whatsoever despite my strive, effort to make it in life.

When i couldn't secure a job after service for two years, i swallowed my pride and turned myself to a printing apprentice at the age of thirty, but getting a space and works has been so difficult after graduating from this few months ago.

I've visited some pastors and alfas and they all asked me to bring some money for deliverance and freedom from satanic bondage, because they would have to invite some prayer warriors as they can't do it alone, the least they asked me is 14k and the highest is 75k, where on earth do they expect me to get that kind of money, and this sometimes, makes me ask myself whether true men of God still exist in this country.

Although, someone told me to go to Ori-Oke Baba Abiye in Ede, Osun State, but i'm so tired of visiting all these so called pastors and alfas (God forgive me).

I do see some signs in my life which makes me believe that i really need deliverance for me to have a breakthrough in my life. If you know any true man/woman of God, pls help me i beg, as the year is gradually coming to an end, and may God bless you as you do so, thanks a lot.

Why not try Ifa?

Hips-enhancing tablets are all over the market. Isn't that what you guys want and worship?

Nah! Most guys want the natural stuff. Hips or no hips

Sinmi53:
IF WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBBIDEN....R DEY LEARNING ALL OF DIS IN DIR MADRASSAS OR QURANIC SCHOOLS

To be honest they didn't get it when they proclaimed western education is a sin. .cus education comes in different forms. .most of which are productive
The should have stated those parts of western culture that they want to outlaw

9jacrip:
Not true, he may have a living father.

A son can only not attain a title if his father presently holds a title

Prince Adeyeye 's selection just made me realize this

Juxtified:
There's nothing bad going on here. Some children have nothin wrong with them but just refuse to eat, especially when they don't like the food. If u know u don't have anything else to give the child, then you have to give the child what you have BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Tah! It's not good. You won't know what kinda psychological trauma you giving the child. Before you cook don't you know what the child doesn't like eating?

SmartMugu:
I would not insult my culture, and I have every right to state my views in the forum like this just like everyone else. If you kept your opinion to yourself, you wouldn't have started off cursing me for no reason.

This is a completely offensive statement.

I would have refused too. So I don't blame him. Too much fetish stuff is attached to the position, I don't agree with voodoo etc, so I'd stay away. Afterall I can afford my lifestyle without dining with some deities.

If you had nothing better too say why comment?

You shouldnt have insulted someone's parents. It's a disgraceful act that only no good touts indulge in.. I'm sure you are one

@ 9jacrip. I wonder too. Cus I always imagined an Ooni cannot have a living father

SmartMugu:
I didn't insult a people's culture. I'm from that area and the culture is a part of me. For acting like a senseless bastardized in the first place, I have nothing else to talk to you about.

iIf you didn't mean any offense to the yoruba Obaship you should have kept ur opinion to urself

SmartMugu:
Who the hell is this i.diot. Don't come at me with ur stupidity. Is anyone in ur broke family worth anything? Why act like ure related to them and people's thoughts don't matter? Did I ever say I knew why he refused? What's wrong with me saying why I'd refuse? Why even ask a brainless a.ss-hole like you such questions.

Next time, before cursing anyone else for no reason, first wake up your worthless dad and mom from their worthless sleep by kicking them, tell the to sharap if they ask any questions and finally tell them they're id.iots for having you and not teaching you manners.

Under aged worthless id.iot with no manners.

Don't bother responding, I don't go back and forth with f.ucked up minds.

You are a senseless bastard. If you were sensible you would not insult a people's culture and come back to insult someone's parents

Iyoma2:
My prayers for him is! May he not join secret cult, may he not marry more than one wife, may he not have abobaku, may he not look at different directions with his two eyes at the same time. Long live kabiyesi. Long live Nigeria.

You are so delusional.

He must join Ogboni
He, like every yoruba man can have more than one wife

blackprowler:
The fact that the absolute majority of Nigerians, regardless of their so-called education absolutely approve of these agents of Nigerian disunity as their so-called culture preservation is an indicator why we will so long also continue to be a backward people eternally disunited. All monarchs are a personification of our disunity. They cannot thrive in a world where we all reject any tribal schism and promote Nigerian identity. Sadly people are too far from the light to ever understand what I'm saying

Another fool. Go tell this to the queen of England, king of Spain, king of Denmark etc

anonimi:
I think you are mixing culture with religion here although both are related but very different.
Christianity is NOT white culture or at least was not always. The whites also had their "pagan"/ traditional religions before Christianity was adopted some 1,700 years ago.
It is a religion from the Middle East, same as Islam that also recognises Jesus as Prophet Isa, not so

When we are able to SEPARATE our culture from its obnoxious religious overtones, we should make better progress by opening up our minds to seek more knowledge and enable our culture to be appreciate more by ourselves and others.

You are NOT bright. If you knew the history of ur religion you will realize that Europe traditions are very much involved in christianity. From the crucifix, to virgin mother belief, to hell, trinity etc
Even in the middle-east christianity isn't taken seriously or makes any sense to them.

You cannot separate yoruba culture from its Spirituality. . Our culture, traditions, language, history and Spirituality is our identity. . We cannot kill it because some no good white mewanted us to. . Even today after christianity has served it's purpose, many of them are interested in our yoruba lifestyle ...
You need to kick out that sense of inferiority you have

SmartMugu:
I would have refused too. So I don't blame him. Too much fetish stuff is attached to the position, I don't agree with voodoo etc, so I'd stay away. Afterall I can afford my lifestyle without dining with some deities.

Sharap! Did he tell you the reason he refused? Nobody cares about you and ur opinion of the African identity, even if you were interested in the position you can never be selected because you lack sense

chiedu7:
SIR ,CONGRATULATIONS
IF YOU READ THIS REMEMBER ALL POWER BELONGS TO JESUS

Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth".

Nonsense. If the Ooni designate cared about Jesus more than his ancestors he should have rejected the choice of the Ife people, and Ifa

GboyegaD:
I pray this doesn't have a negative impact on his Christianity.

Christianity has nothing to do with being Ooni or any rightful Oba
If he wanted to be a christian he shouldn't have indicated interest in the Obaship

ilawanson44:
I hope they won't demand "human heads" for the coronation? And why is he scratching his head in the last picture like he ain't sure of what he is doing!

#YorubaAndFetishLife

Smh. Must you be this foolish? When have you ever heard human heads are used for coronation?
Fetishism exists everywhere

IlekeHD:
[size=14pt]I won't take you serious until you put Yoruba interest first. Oba ade, please continue the development in Yorubaland.

Gather our leaders together and encourage them to invest in Yoruba interest.

E kaabo, Kabiyesi![/size]

I just hope he will encourage the culture and history of Ife

Bonapart:
Ooni you need God

Whatever men celebrate is an abomination before Go

Dnt quote me pls

You were born to be a fool. Why do you like displaying ur inherited stupidity everywhere?

1. Ijebus aren't larger than Ekiti or Oyo
2. What do you mean by gears of war?
3. Everyone knows that Owu were the first to settle at Ibadan
4. I don't think you are ijebu, calling ijebu a biblical tribe is completely out of what an ijebu man will ever say
5. The Awujale didn't cure Oduduwa's sight, he assisted his brother, Owa Obokun Ajibogun to get the sea water
