Because satanism is just crazy and lawless like that.

Lawless? You fool, christianity is pure definition of lawless with all the controversial scripts bearing no authenticity, being totally absurd and countless denominations and churches with their own beliefs and teachings...this upon ur Bible

Sorry if that's ur definition of lawless and satanism...African traditions have no lust for that

Why don't you shove this in the right place? Anti-Christ ur butt
Nonsense

Tattoes do not run rub off the next day. Think about when you are old, will you still like it? All you tatted peeps. Anyway I do like small tattoes with nice writing like at the ankle or shoulder

Why not? why won't you like it at old age?
I've seen many old women living and loving their tattoos

1 Corinthians 1:27-29 NIV

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

Happy Good Friday.

Would God give you a smart brain and expect you not to use it?
Rather believe every dumb shiit said by a man in suit?

I've said it and I'll keep saying it. Nigeria is not a nation but a mere geographical area under under government

Yorubas, Ijaws and Igbo need to come together as Southerners for what we desire most - independence
All this selfish greedy politicians don't care about you, the likes of obasanjo and tinubu are shameless thieves who have interest of their people at heart

We don't really know the true believes of christianity all thanks to Emperor Constantine who created the catholic church and hand picked the 4 gospels out of almost 50 that was available
I read the gospel of Peter, Judas, Mary Magdalene have been found and undergoing interpretations

How do people not see politics and fraud in the formation of christianity?

Jesus is just a dead man like every other person that lived 2000years ago
Stop believing things that diminish your intelligence

Fulaman198:
Boko Haram doesn't want the same thing. They are killing for the sake of killing. They kill indiscriminately and seem to take joy in committing barbarous acts. Boko Haram are trouble makers, they don't want an Islamic state because what they do is not of Islam. What they want is a state of Anarchy.

I doubt if anybody would kill for the sake of killing. People always have a cause, a goal they are fighting for which might not go well with many...but that doesn't make them less humans fighting for what they believe in
Whether state of anarchy or not, there's a reason

But what's then difference between boko haram and Isil? After all Shekau has pledged allegiance to Isil

What become of the last "findings" that I shared on the 'Origin of the name Yoruba?' Was it not insults? How about 'Olokun' thread at the end? Please check. There is what the Yoruba call 'oloore', meaning 'people with good intent'. And then we have 'afibisoloore', that is, 'people who demoralises the well-meaning'. I'm not stupid, I have come of age and discovered that the best way to waste your precious time and deplete your innate intelligence is to come around often and engage resolute strangers in any inconclusive argument that offer you absolute nada. Thats highway to loosing what you believe. Must strangers control you, my son? (I'm thinking loud). You said it, no babalawo will sit someone down and teach them the abstracts of Ogunda, true. But my family house is 'Ago Babalawo'. Can the blind lead the blind? I am a man with sight.

So it's ur family house that told u Yorubas are descended from Hebrews? They didn't tell u about any other African people..it's faraway Jews who have nothing in common with Yoruba? U think they do?
If so let's see linguistic, cultural, traditional, or historical connection

netmillionaires:
no check your bible because I know say U no go know how to open Bible.
Just go and watch where archaelogist discovered scripts dating many years b4 the event decribing the events in detail. I am sure u will now start doubting ur archaelogist too.
Incase u still wan check make I drop u something. Check out Jeremiah 50 and 51 as well as Isaiah 13 and 14 or 14and15.

netmillionaires:
ooohhh I see! Do open ur mind and let us take on each other one after the other with proof. Do u know that even scientists now believe in God? The bible speaks of events before they occur and they did come to pass. The bible describes how Cyrus will come by night, dried up the Euphrates river and then take Babylon. It even mention Cyrus by name 100s of years b4 the event. Now where is your own proof of reincarnation?

There's multiple reasons to believe the philosophy of reincarnation.

I asked u is there anything to show that the so called Bible prophecies weren't written after the fall of Babylon?

Fulaman198:
That's very possible as Book Haram are predominantly Kanuri. However, whatever they are doing has absolutely nothing to do with Islam even though the Boko I'd.iots say they are fighting for it.

They just seek to destroy.

Are you saying there's nothing Islamic about Almoravid Caliphate, Sokoto caliphate and many more
Isil, Boko haram want the same thing - an Islamic state to boost the spread of Islam
It's hard not see them as Islamic fighters

"Tattooing as an art form has been used for centuries by tribal societies in religious rites and as a natural part of life. [size=14pt]At first banned and then appropriated by Western culture[/size]"

Many Africans have forgotten this. Same thing with piercings. It was taken from OUR culture. But now it's "unAfrican". Thanks missionaries.

Exactly! The europeans came demonising everything African, yet adopted parts of our culture and proclaimed it unafrican

godoluwa:
Some will throw my comment to the thrashbin but to be honest, am posting this from experience. tattoo killed a guy in my area. after that d guy av d tattoo, he resumed to his work that very hour. his apprentice just discovered that their healthy looking master fell down & they scream for help. we took d guy to the hospital where he was pronouced dead. d autopsy shows his death was as a result of damages done to some of his body cells through intoxication of chemical used while making the previous tattoo & failure to rest after making his current tattoo. tattoo causes skin cancer.

This is a big story of lies

Good for them. Two of our best youngsters shouldn't be fighting

FrancisTony:
Feminism isn't sexism - There are many men who are pro-feminists and that debunks your point.


At emboldened, that's what feminism is all about.
By the way, did I see a pagan(Traditionalist) like Macof call something else demonic?


That's what feminism is all about - empowering those women that have been ill-advised by their parents.


All these women you mentioned are self-acclaimed feminists, maybe with an exception of Okonjo-Iweala.

Dats like saying Masculism is not sexism, Masculism is all about empowering men that have been ill-advised by their parents

Why not empower all, regardless gender?

He failed because he trusted the wrong people and His party marginalised the wrong people

Feminism is sexism.. Even the name gives it away as a fraud
I wonder why an intelligent woman like,Adichie is falling for such fraud

Promote gender equality and Meritocracy, not demonise the society because more men are involved in big things and top positions.

Women shouldn't be lazy, get up and stop looking for swag boyfriend and caring so much about make up and fake hair and rise up for your own good..you waste your youth and then blame serious and successful men for your failures

Women like Oprah, Adichie, Beyonce, Okonjo-Iweala didn't waste their time, they found their interest, created a goal and worked towards it...most young ladies today lack interest in things that require hardwork so don't blame men, blame yourselves

People would have confidence in you and support you to lead if you have a personality and the merit to do so

netmillionaires:
here is one good difference. The bible describes events that are yet to happen hundreds of years before they did happened. Take the fall of Babylon for example. The bible explained the events; how it will happen, who will fulfill d prophecy 100s of yrs b4 it happened. So I believe in d Bible as the true word of God. What is your proof of reincarnation apart from baseless theories?

What's the passage that professes such? And how can you guarantee it was written before and not after it happened?

olyrayy:
Wow, this is very very very myopic and lamentable. If someone comes from another planet and hears what you are saying, wouldn't he think u are talking as a result of hallucination? You shouldn't condemn other people's faith.
U have no solid proof that the God u are talking about and the devil u are talking about really exist. Everything you are saying is believed by faith. So also, whatever he also spews is believed by faith.
Hence both of you are 100 percent right because neither of you has solid proof to back up your beliefs.

The philosophy of reincarnation is actually logical and backed up by various other natural phenomenons that can't be said about his God and his devil

Stop playing the ostrich with your hypocrite game and go to study the Nigeria’s Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act of 2000.

Mr.man you are a joker and a nuisance. Stop this nonsense and sit down
Elections are over. Everybody is through with campaigns
Nobody is going to jail, stop living in a delusion. There's no charge against GEJ

Fulaman198:
I understand what you are saying, but Boko Haram have never been in the right. There is no where in the Qur'an that justifies their actions.

As aformentioned, they are just evil-spirited people that are looking for excuses to kill others

In my observations, boko haram is a jihadist group that seeks to create a caliphate of Islam out of the old Kanem-borno empire

Carriacou1985:
I am very interested in African traditional religion, although I am not African. My family originate from the Caribbean where we practise a spiritual religion which has roots from the Yoruba religion, also linked to Shango baptists of Trinidad and Santeria in South america.

The African traditional religion was so vital to the people brought as slaves to the islands of the Caribbean and other parts of South America, especially in Brazil that they still hold onto it today. In Trinidad they celebrate an annual Oshun festival in August, pronounced Osun to west Africans, from my research. From what I know this religion is very spiritual and many worshipper from the Caribbean and South America worship through songs and dances passed down from their ancestors. Knowledge is passed down from the spirits and gifts are given to you according to your faith and obedience.

Oshun is pronounced same here, we just don't add the "h" when writing...it's a pattern for Yoruba words rather we add a dot under the "S" if your keypad allows such

We don't need a book. Book based on what region or Nationality? Yoruba, Gbe culture? Or all Africans together?
Certainly it would generate more conflicts
We need a council to address the issue of the dying practising and loss in the ancient knowledge, more publicity to be made
But not turning it into an organized religion like Romans and Jews did

We need to teach what African spirituality truly is and it's knowledge

You can coin a name for them, I think it's business as usual with you, I have added more years and wont come to your level.



I would have answer you with the resources at my disposal, if not for the protocol change with nairaland login, I couldn't remember my email for this monicker, so I just suspend until the login was restored.

But thank God for that little hitch, I would have been sharing vital insight...thinking you want to have a discourse. Can a leopard change the colour of its skin? I don't think so.

Hold grim to your belief-system, its none of my probs, if mine is such to you, glory be to whatever you believe.

Its your old friend, Ladionline.
This is my SEO monicker here.

I thought you were going to tell us the "findings"

Gen. Murtala Mohammed is the best for me

GEJ comes 2nd

Abdulsalam 3rd

let's wait to see Buhari's performance in the next 4 years

Horus:
Under Nigeria’s Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act of 2000

What charge is he guilty of? Or u jst like spewing thrash?

I wonder what the term for these people are called
Those that try all means to connect their history with those of their masters
It's so disgusting

AlfaSeltzer:
Jonathan is a shame of a human being.

Anybody worth his salt can easily win against buhari.

GEJ is the architect of his problem

You don't marginalise your neighbors and favour others faraway, he first betrayed the hands that fed him

Prettiepearlz:
You just proved yourself to be a clueless fellow,u're a very tribalistic fellow,been going thru ur threads since buhari was declared winner. Is Nigeria for one tribe alone? Just open your eyes and see the thrash u just typed, "an hausa man should not be an Inec chairman" says who? A tribalist like you. In the year 2011,didn't the SW and Northerners vote for GEJ? Yes they did and nobody complained,now they want change u're complaining,or will u tell me GEJ got the 18million vote he had in 2011 from the SE and SS? Are those two region up that number? Instead of praying for a better Nigeria,u're here spilling words that lacks intelligence. Pls I love people from SE&SS because we are all one in the sight of God. Just suck ur pride in and face reality. Does GEJ even know u exist?

Excuse me, though the man went a bit bigot with that statement, you are wrong to think the typical northerner isn't worse
In 2011, northern states all went for Buhari

khiaa:
But like one of the Nl members said, they knew what was going on because the whipping started before they left the shores of Africa. When your/my ancestors came to the slave camps to collect their money, they witnessed the abuse and suffering but they didn't care, they were concered about getting their money and little trinkets, you know, mirrors, guns, gun powder, alcohol.
It was all business to them.

Slave camps to collect their money?? That's funny..why would anybody give out a slave without collecting money at that moment?

Anyway am not saying slavery was good but Africans found nothing wrong with it because
1. We also kept slaves in our household
2. We were at a period of wars in West Africa(some of which was incited by Europeans), warring nations raiding neighbouring cities and captured their people
3. We found a new way to deal with criminals rather than jail, banishment and sacrifice

But my/your ancestors should have known better than to trust total foreigners over your neighbours
That's still a huge problem in West Africa today

Horus:
The law is the law, and in terms of law GEJ will go to Kirikiri Prison, PERIOD

On what charge?
