that was how they spread ebola

some people really need CHRIST

what is your business you mental slave? a community devoting itself to it's ancestral deity to get rid of a sickness is not your business..go and die and like your Jesus on a cross

Islam we know isn't a liberal religion but one of force and violence. jihad is it's way so compelling people to stop commenting in the section is only a tip of the evil that is Islam

Buhari is on the way to making the same mistakes GEJ made but realized too late

USA CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Rilwayne001:
No one stops you from commenting on those threads.
Why crying here?

Obviously the mods of that section stops others from commenting due to the absurd creed they expect others to swear to

RoyPCain:
^you made my case for me. if there is no correlation between religion and societal progress, the christians are much more wrong than me because they are the master in this smear and i just intentionally used it to bring senses back into your conscience.

if you are sincere, i wonder why you have asked who were leaders of nigeria. the leader of nigeria that i knew in my days were mostly christians; tafawa balewa, ironsi, gowon, murtala, obasanjo. almost all the finance ministers were christians. people were tired of goodluck and iweala [both christians]. in your insincerity, you turned to libya, etc to support your correlation of religion and nation, yet you said we shouldn't go this way. you by yourself, you turned this way and that way showing us that you are not a sincere person about what you are proposing.

This guy is a glorified liar. The same way ur Mohammed taught u lying for Allah as one of the pillars of Islam

Tafewa Balewa, Murtala Mohammed are muslims that much everybody knows

KoloOyinbo:
I was talking about ANY kind of FAITH in a deity (any deity). Therefore it cannot be proven nor indeed disproven.

Unlike a silly belief in magic/juju which IS testable and fails thus proving it does not exist!

Hope this is not too complicated for you!

You don't even know what juju is u dumb pedo.phile

Ur stuupid Jesus is dead and such superstition of him being God is a result of ur unintelligence

It's clear that the owner of that instagram account is a fraud and certainly not an Osun devotee

probably that fraudster must have failed in church business

KoloOyinbo:
The young babe is actually 25 but that guy is a ignorant savage!

And you are 69 playing with young ladies who should be your daughter's age if only you were responsible enough to get a woman in your youth
Shameless old fool. You come here on a thread disrespecting people forgetting what ur life is - miserable

It's called Epa in Yoruba

SirShymexx:
[s][/s]

Effing troll, stop quoting me.

Let me give you a little gift, from just a simple academic source cos I can't be ar.sed with debating a vacuous dunderhead:

At first the archaeological evidence tended to support this type of approach. The spectacular finds at Ife (Willett, 1967) suggested a wealthy, sophisticated culture with kingship institutions already established. Radiocarbon dates put the 'classical' period of Ife, art at about A.D. 1000-1400. This neatly tallied with reconstructions of chronology based on the surviving kinglists of states like Oyo, Ketu, Benin and Ijebu. Their foundations were generally placed between the 13th and 15th centuries - perhaps about 1300 (Smith, 1969: 34), and the tradition that their founders came from Ife, was accepted at face value by many authors.

^^^Hopefully, that will fill the vacuum in ya head, and at least give you an insight into how old the Ijebu Kingdom is - and the Kingdoms on its level.

Best you leave that man to his delusions..he wings accept anything you tell him outside his cult
He is the same one that calls Yorubas sons of Jacob

pasol4real:
gud works n depiction.



OBSERVATION: oba was depicted here as the daughter of yemoga n banished wife of sango.sango is the son of ajagun.ajagun is the husband of yemoga.meaning oba n sango are brother n sister .someone pls explain or do their gods marry eachother?

Nways ,what i know is all of dem put together no reach my AMADIOHA.

As incorporeal entities they aren't bind to human laws
And the concept of marriage between them shouldn't be taken as Human marriage
Like it's known that the bond of Yemoja and Aganju(not Ajagun) birthed Orungan , who is Air

chiedu7:
JESUS IS ALIVE

Revelation 1:17
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.

THESE YOUR gODS ARE NOTHING BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I.

YOU SURELY ARE NOT TOO BRIGHT, NO WONDER YOU ARE A PAGAN

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/xk.gif

The same Jesus that was nailed for his crimes
my Great grand father is alive too

Jesus was a man like u, now dead like men who lived 2000yrs ago

Pagans have been the smartest in all of human history..all human achievements go back to paganism

chiedu7:
ALL ARE IDOLS , NOTHING COMPARED TO JESUS THE ONLY LIVING GOD

Here's a real idol...assuming u know what "idol" means

ChokolateBoss:
I quite agree with u. I think depicting satan as esu is due to culture equivalence; separate cultures having the same concepts.
So when xtianity came to yoruba land, d equivalent of Satan would of cos be Esu since they're both associated with trickery.
Likewise, in Igbo culture, d equivalent of Satan is Ekwensu since they're both d king of ajo mmo (malevolent spirits)

What nonsense equivalent? only a fool who doesn't know Esu would call him equivalent of an absurd myth like satan

Being Lord over negative sprits doesn't mean being the evil opposer of the creator...another silly nonsense of christianity
How can the all powerful creator have an opposer from one of his creations...so dumb

per1:
They worship what they do not know,gods,they say is of the blacks while Jesus is of the europeans, when u join ur father the devil, he knows about the lion of Judea, king of kings, he is the God of all.thanks to the europeans who brought to us the good news. Alleluia

Another stupid utterance by the slowpoke. Europeans brought u remix tales of a dead Jewish criminal who would not obey the laws to steal from you, take your resources,confuse your people, incite disunity, instigate betrayals and colonise you...

I ask do you know my GOD better than me?

per1:
gods the works of mere men, God is seeking for Men who will worship Him in truth and righteousness vai Jesus christ. Seek Him, instead of apprecaiting gods in the name of our own ' culture'

Idiotic slowpoke, can u create the power behind the wind? That's Oya
Can you create Metallic elements? That's Ogun
Dumb illiterates like urself would never have sense because of such absurd religions That require u to symbolically drink and eat a Jewish man's blood and flesh - new age of cannibalism
Ur dumb god is seeking for men to remain relevant...GODS don't need men, men need them

DaBullIT:
[size=18pt][b]Exactly my point , That's how they sell it and you buy it , clearly most of the depicted gods are nude and which is why it's generated so much traffic , You didn't download the pictures because it means a lot to you , you downloaded the pictures because of the nudity

Every god in Yoruba land is decent , and Yoruba culture frowns at nudity , You'd hardly see a well trained Yoruba chick open her legs and sit down carried away while perverts peek to see the colour of her panties , Mothers take passion in teaching their girls to patonmo ,close your legs , even back then , kids as young as 5 years old would cross their legs or sag thier skirts at the middle to prevent you from seeing anything .

This is a wrong representation of Yoruba gods , One oyinbo should not come and show us how our ancestors look like or how they should look now ,


Sooner or later , images like this gets adapted to text books and then we'd loose the originality forever,

Where's the agbada, the buba , the war jacket, the cowries , the amulets ? This is a FOURKING misrepresentation and every reasonable Yoruba should frown at it


If someone sells you cheap , you can't be bought expensively

[/b][/size]

Although I liked your comment but most of it was unnecessary

Art is an expression of the artist...let it live cus even typical depiction of the Orisa are art
Btw most Yemoja sculptures, you would find her naked with her breast visible

chimkaire:
*gods*

There's no difference between Gods and gods

manuelpepper:
christians and muslims uses olorun too.

Do they worship our deities together with their imported gods from arabs and europe?

They don't worship Olorun, they worship desert God like Allah and dark age God of Europe Jehovah

Alfred200825:
Nice work. But where is Ogun, Sapona and the rest?

Sopona is Baluaye

ChokolateBoss:
Indeed it is one of the most beautiful and original works of art I've seen myself. As an artist myself (not a very good one though), I'm amazed at d perfect blend of beauty and power in d art. Its almost as if u can feel d charisma of authority of d deities. Lordly, yet comely to behold.
Since d deities are supernatural beings (according to d Yoruba tradition) and can be symbolized or represented in various forms, I think this artist's version brings their essence to d fore. My opinion though.

If u even type 'James C Lewis' into google, its these photos u'll mostly see in the search results. That tells u that its d photos that made him most popular.

U can check out this links
http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-cornelius-lewis.html and http://radiopalmwine.com/the-orisha-experience-yoruba-gods-as-super-heroes-photography-of-james-c-lewis/

Sorry according to Yoruba tradition, the deities are NATURAL ENTITIES not supernatural, supernatural don't exist...nothing can be beyond or above Nature

iduzebaba:
1. That is a wrong depiction of Sango..God of thunder fun ra e. oko Oya ati osun..... normally.. he is depicted in a red and black attire with a thor like thunder weapon and prob with a shuku braid with cowries on in head and breathin fire effect in d pics

2. I neva knew d devil has 6 packs... and that babaluaye is d founder of shoki. lols

3. if I may ask.. why was olorun tattooed.

4. u all can see dat the African goddess for beauty and love is black and beautiful.. tonto dike and family ' take note.

What devil did you see there?

rattlesnake:
Jesus is Lord of the Oduduwa

Olosi omo eru

hansad:
With oil in the SW, soon we shall have Oduduwa Republic. Once Oduduwa is declared, Biafra Republic of fiscal federalism shall follow, and possibly Nigerdelta Republic of Fiscal federalism.

Then emerges Arewa sharia Republic whose 12 sharia states covertly drew up the borders when the states embraced sharia criminal laws in 2001;

then and possibly other Republics.

This is the most peaceful way to get out of this Nigeria marriage which every group hates but does not know how to get out from.

Truth! This would be the beginning of a new dawn for Africa
Nigeria has to be dismantled

Ximenes45:
Lolz! The Gospel Truth is None!!

You see,.so there's no sense in saying we are one in Nigeria..that's the biggest lie

Chanchit:
Wetin this one dey talk.

I know some people are praying for Buhari to fail, but God woulD disappoint all of you.

Surely he would fail, with the corrupt people around him and he being an ethnic and religious bigot
Fulani terrorists can now feel invincible

Katsumoto:
Just to add a voice to the debate about First Class Kings.

There is a difference between a King being one of the Seven Obalades and a King elevated by political office holders. For the former, you were one of Alaafin of Oyo, Olowu of Owu, Orangun of Ila-orangun, the Owaoboku of Ijeshaland, the Alaketu of Ketu, the Onipopo of Popo, and the Onisabe of Sabe. In the latter, your kingdom was/is elevated by a governor of a state.

For me, the relevant Yoruba kings are the seven obalades as well as the kings who fought and gained their independence from Oyo & Ibadan - Alake, Awujale, Ooni. If you were in the audience when Kiriji was being fought, then you can't be too relevant. Of course Eko did not partake but Eko must be relevant.


For the umpteenth time, Alaafin was never the paramount ruler in Yorubaland. Alaafin was the strongest king at some point but that is not enough to make it the paramount office.

Surely you got this from Samuel Johnson's book
There are more than 7 Obalades, where is Ajero who is said to have initiated the idea of leaving Ife, what of Ewi, Elekole, Ajapada(Deji), Olowo

Katsumoto:
Hold on

Awujale was an Ilari sent from Oyo to settle a dispute. Ijebu was definitely a vassal of Oyo.

Ilari?? Lol how can an Oba be an Ilari
Ilaris are palace servants sent out to tributary states

9jacrip:
Owu, after their town got sacked scattered all over. I co-researched Owu history with an acquaintance of mine in school and still have the copy at home.

Owu are in Lagos, Ogun, Abeokuta, Osun etc but the Olowu in posession of the Oduduwa given crown is in Owu Ipole in Osun state close to Ikire which makes him the paramount head of the Olowus of Owus.

The Olowu of Owu Ipole of yesterday gave us full details on Owu history and about two months after my acquaintance and I visted him for oral interview, he had an accident and passed on to meet his fathers - I still have records, kept in my archives .

The Olowu in Abeokuta does not have asunkungbade's crown.

Oh I see
I didn't know Owu Ipole hosts the crown..I assumed the crown was moved to Abeokuta years after the destruction of Owu Ipole

I'll still have to dedicate time on Owu migration
some books claim the original Owu home is along the Niger river..probably the reason we have Owu communities in Kwara state

FOLYKAZE:
You shifting from entity to conscious entity.

Well I hold the belief that the universe and including planet earth is very conscious. This is an extent to which you define what consciousness as.

Your description is balderdash.

Lady justice is a greek mythical greek goddess just like Gaia. They both share the same allegory personification or representation of a substance which in turn are been served as a deity. She is a beatiful lad.

Lady Justice took relation of Themis and Maat which are Hellenic and egyptian goddess respectively. Themis has a daughter called Dike who help in carrying scale around. She was adopted in rome as Iustitia carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold.

She wore a black apron on a silver blouse and swind her sword everywhere.

Will you say lady justice does not exist because she is mythical expression of justice?


This applies to Gaia too. They are both mythical goddesses but exist in reality.

Honestly I wonder about this people.
An expression is just an art, what it describes is the main thing

Ximenes45:
Truce! but I agree partly with macof, Tribalism will still be a thorn in the flesh of Nigerians except we speak and uphold a unifying language...more like what we have in modern day Europe,Asia and the Americas

How many are willing to let go of their ethnic identity and adopt something imaginary

FOLYKAZE:
Magic is science.

Mythology is mere expression.

Religion is way of live

spirituality is observance of natural law.


This are component of science.

Religion is a dogmatic set of beliefs...culture is a way of life

johnydon22:
Am sure we have treated this crap before in your thread and am not ready to repeat all and start going in circles again..

Gaia is a greek mythological personification of earth.. still the same thing we were talking about brahma.. Earth is a planet not an entity.

Is earth a conscious entity or just a planet?

is gravitational singularity a conscious entity? Choose..

What educated person doesn't know The earth is an entity

And to your question Yes! The earth is a conscious entity so is cosmic singularly which = the initial state of the universe, or the universe itself
