When a person tells you about his history to pass a message, it is not for you to make jest out of it. it is an attitude of a devil. whether my parents are alive or not should not be of your concern.

You are not yoruba, though you pose to be. Yoruba have a concept of devil and satan. You have simply forgotten or you do not know.

Ika means devil. Ika is a noun.
Oshika means satan. The maker of devil.
Ur history? U keep saying black man this, black man that..which is not jst u(assuming u are truly black) but the entire blacks including me. So I must comment, make jest of whatever absurdity u produce if I so wish

Really now you are my creator to know what I am and what I have forgotten...I actually know ur problem and here's it in plain words

YOU ARE MAD

undecided Ika means wickedness. Osika means one that does wickedness which could refer to any terrible and troublesome person

There's nothing like devil or satan in Yoruba
And really don't get started on ur nonsense with me

It is a real pity honestly, I wish u get better

These people are not primitive jst for not wearing clothes

live among them, learn their language, history and culture. Their medicine, how the relate with man, animals and nature before conclusion

I believe they deserve a chance.

The Black Hebrews are my brothers and sisters, Just like any Black person. I am also friendly and can also be best friends with the non-black that respect himself or herself.
I had the bible for a longtime, i read it when the pastors says "open to the book of so and so, cutting verses in half without understanding, giving it no meaning" i knew i didn't understand it, and knew so much so that the pastor or rev doesn't either. but you know sunday morning can be boring, and besides if i don't go to church, neighbors will tell my family that they saw me with a lighted cigarette and worst igbo, an you know what that means as an african child. so i had a bible i did not read but i knew some truths are there in it.
The Muslims, I am a Yoruba person by clan(not tribe), Yoruba's religion is "tolerance" all religion is allowed within the family including family friends. The Muslims go to Mecca, to stone the devil at some point in their pilgrimage, as a kid, i said you have been throwing the stone at the devil for thousands of years, yet the devil goes stronger, They said devil is a spirit, no i doubted it. So i'd always kept my mind openned on both sides but never thought of the Quran. I openned the Quran after Muslims were being labelled "terrorists", it seemed the whiteman forgot the definition of the word. The Quran was more, infact far more clearer than the bible. yet not well in understanding.
Your know our grand parents, even our parents. They are first traditionalist before any religion, except we want to lie to ourselves. My Grandmother always gave me a glimpse of how the world was created by Blackman, it all started with a dream of mine while i was very young, but then she died, the knowledge was cut short.
The first time i entered a whiteman's land, in his airport; it was the first time i saw a woman both old and young with an extra mini-skirt and cut almost in half at the back. i got crazy, i almost had myself repatriated, getting to their streets, full of drunks both men and women and children, plus nothing can match the hatred i felt from them. Then i knew, i have seen the wicked ones, yet i didn't remember their proper name until i heard Louis Farrakhan call them "the devil", One of my friend from Edo called them that too, but i ignored.

What is devil in yoruba?

to answer your question, through the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, i was able to understand the meaning of both the bible and the quran and more important the ancient traditions of the Black people.

answer my question if you can.
sad am really sorry for u. are ur parents still alive? Wats ur mother doing about ur case?

Yoruba have no concept of the devil

Oh! now i see.. No matter how hard i try to make you understand, you won't just get it. Well am referring to omnipotent and everlasting God, the one and only, the beginning and end, the one who creates us and places us on the planet earth, the King who is royal forever, unchanging God, The creator, who never forgets his creation
. Zeus, Osiris, Thor, Odin, Horus, Krishna are self acclaim god, the truth is where are they todayhuh
Zeus, Osiris, Thor, Odin, Horus, Krishna are far older deities than ur Jehovah who is less than 2000yrs so Jehovah must be top on the imposter list more so that he needs u to claim for him, at least the other Gods mentioned are self acclaimed grin

But pls where's ur god today?

I have not mentioned i believe in big bang theory, i simply say "I do not know".. That we do not know how something came to be doesnt mean we should come up with an archaic concept or primitive explanation that a deity did it.

Is it not a more noble thing to find out how these things came to be through careful study and scrutnization of available datas. than to kill our intellectual curiosity by just saying a deity did it?

The concept of God(s) is unproven and contradictory...
It was just a human idea to explain things that seemed complex to the men of then.

Ancient men believed the gods had a store room for rain and snow somewhere in the sky(book of job) cus they couldn't explain how these things happen so they just come up with god did it but now we know better than these things are all part of water circle and no store room is involved neither is any deity involved..

in terms of big bang THEORY let me define to you what theory is

(science) A coherent statement or set of ideas that explains [size=20]observed facts or phenomena[/size], or which sets out the laws and principles of something known or observed;[size=20] a hypothesis confirmed by observation, experiment[/size]
etc.

its left for you to decide what you want.. Big bang is still under study and can improve as more facts and observations are made...

But for me personally i do not claim to know how the world started cus i opened my eyes and saw the world, i wasn't there before the world.. so how am i supposed to possess such knowledge...
sometimes you need to look deep into things
Like I always say God is a concept used to explain different aspects of nature ranging from desires - geography, cosmology - biology and many more
A pity you have only been exposed to this religious and dogmatic use of the word by Christians forgetting it's original purpose right from the Greek language

Ancients didn't use God to say wat they didn't understand, they used demons for that...they used the God concept to explain wat they studied...similar to scientific theories
Note that the words Theory and Theos(Greek for God) has roots in Theoreo[to observe/to wonder)

So Gods were created from the creative mind of man after thorough and careful observation of the natural world

admittedly the system had flaws(jst like everything even in modern science) because some generations (similar to this one with people like u) might begin to make jokes of it due to their lack of knowledge and subsequent distortions follows, despite this one can only appreciate the system employed by the ancients

It's absurd for anyone to condemn the God concept when they have not even studied it

johnydon22:
The concept of God is a thing encompassed in the dimension of faith which itself is unreasonable.. cus people can have faith that a pink unicorn exists and it will in their mind.

Things that can be proven are things are things that can be termed materialistic.
This concept of God as portrayed by different religions is immaterial and therefore can not be proven.

Something that cannot be proven cannot be unproven either. . . if i claim i have a flying unicorn diamond horn, You will find it implausible but yet cannot prove that i don't even when you know i don't.

I on other hand have no proof that i have a flying unicorn but i believe it by faith.

Am not sure that the concept of God can be unproven since it's just a product of wild human imagination. .
Oh but u are wrong. have u ever studied ancient civilizations and their relationship with the nature of the universe?
Pls tell us how they lived with each other, with animals and how they practised medicine, used tools for war and domestic purposes, how they predicted the weather, sailed through rivers and seas
Do this and you will realize the God concept admittedly is a use of imagination but is a surface cover to the deeper things.
a device used to explain the various aspects of nature, call it personification, allegory, symbolism you are on track
All parts of the ancient world saw this as the best way to teach the young about the natural world and the expansive universe

By 1.5 years from now the earth is going to be raw hell.

Culture › Re: What Is Preventing Africa From Experiencing A Cultural Renaissance? by macof(m): 10:18am On Mar 06, 2015
AmunRaOlodumare:
In reality the situation is more nuanced than this. The main reason why Yoruba Kingdoms sought to expand their territory was the increase the size of the Kingdom, so the fact that unity makes us stronger was a fact known (obviously) by past African peoples and Kingdoms. The goal was combining kingdoms (Yoruba subgroups and sometimes non-Yorubas) together under the same leadership, to create a stronger kingdom. The same idea existed in many African Kingdoms and also among those who wanted to incorporate Yorubas into their kingdom. We're talking about sending tributes to the King (of all kings), making available for him soldiers in time of wars, probably also access to mines and other natural resources sites, control of trade routes, etc. The incorporated Kingdoms/Chiefdoms also (iirc) received protection from the metropolis.
Why does this guy keep saying Yorubas incorporated non-Yorubas? before I say more
which of the ancient Yoruba Kingdoms are u talking about? Ijebu? Oyo? Or another?

kingston277:
Please note that. Those non-Yoruba who lived in Yoruba kingdoms were of contoured extract whom had no say in joining such kingdom. Following this, it might take several wars(and a ruling ethnicity with a dominant language) to achieve "one Nigeria".
And this is very unlikely, I don't see any one ethnicity being dominant in Nigeria

But if it does happen it could only be through wars

For those asking why he hasn't been prosecuted. We need to kick Apc out of the state house at Alausa, the new Agbaje administration will see to it that all the money Tiefnubu has stolen with aid from Fashola be accounted and made public thereby having enough proof for Lagos government to take him to court

APC must be kicked out of Lagos

I just copied and pasted this question I asked davien , an atheist , simple questions ... no hard grammar ... he couldn't even reply .. maybe he was not knowledgeable enough to explain . So here it is :

Big bang , accretion of the earth I get . But life , evolution , simple to complex life , and provisions of the requirements to support life ? Hmmm

Now bro , look at male and female sexual organs . The man has a joystick , the female vj , you mean the whatever behind evolution know females needed vjs and males' joysticks for sex and vice versa. I mean a pipe and a hole , [same with other animals ](just added this ). Its a design for Christ sake and not accidental .

Look at fruits , vegetables , water - every animal need these things to survive . Big bang , Evolution knew that all these requirements will be needed all along ?

Now last bullet , what time , space was before the big bang ? The theory does not provide any sort of explanation for the initial conditions of our universe , but just describes it's formation afterwards. So explain

so macof your answers to these questions will give you a brilliant idea of what I meant by God exists outside space and time , I know you are smart , I believe in you
If you have studied evolution and cosmology you would realize that it must have taken the universe millions of tests and trials constituting failures before getting to this point which is still far from perfection...if that can ever be achieved

and the only reason why any part of an organism exist is because it is useful to that species, if some humans suddenly were to take interest in other things "unhuman" right now, in a couple thousands of years provided there's continuity they would develop physical changes to best suit such interest and in a million years of continuity an organ might cease to exist or a different organ might jst pop out

Lemme ask u something to get ur brain working...
hw do u think races came to be? even ur Bible is silent on that

[b]They are fed up with the propaganda against General Buhari, it is now the turn of a man who is not
contesting for any elective position anywhere in the country. No right thinking government will have
"Arsenal" of evidences of corruption on ONE man and would not have or will not prosecute such a man in
a competent court.

The best our "Serious" government led by Retardeen Egebre Jonah-daft could do is
to sponsor a one hour political propaganda against Bola Tinubu. Where in a sane country is that done?
If you have all these evidences, why is Bola Tinubu still walking free?. This is
the ultimate question? Why can't the PDP send these evidences to EFCC, ICPC and other agencies for
prosecution? Am sure if there is any credence in any of these evidences, Tewonde George especially
wont hesistate to pursue it to conclusion considering his hatred for Tinubu. And they say this
government led by the drunkard is serious about governance when the least thing to do becomes
politics.....

For the record, Bola Tinubu I know from records i know of has been discharged and acquitted of all
corrupt charges leveled against him. The CCB cleared him. No security agency till date has any pending
issue with him anywhere in the world. However, we have people like Bode George, Alaimeseigha, Femi-
Fani Kayode, Buruju Kashumu etc who were either convicted or still in court for corruption charges
working for the President in one capacity or the other...Just like the propaganda against the General
made him more popular, i have no doubt that Tinubu will come out unscathed from this also. Above all,
this will not in anyway stop the emergence of the General as the president of our dear Nation.

The booting out of the curse currently governing is a clarion call all sane Nigerians will respect.
To hell with[/b] Jonah-daft.
Who's the general? Buhari retired as a major general
that's how d illiterate man doesn't even know his rank
