No, they'll be hanging you instead

We MUST congratulate Jega for implementation of the PVC voting system. It's time to prove that Lagos is no man's land.

Oh pls shut up

Agbaje's win will be collective but obviously more votes from the Yoruba population

Lol Apc and lies

Why lie against an innocent man of God?
The devil surely is a learner where there's Tinubu and Buhari

GEJ till Buhari dances shoki...that man bone straight like pole

FrancisTony:
APC is not for we the Okrikans - Patience Ebele Jonathan

This woman is the definition of cluelessness and stupidity.
Her husband administration is dismal, and she still had the effrontrey to show off her mansion when many Nigerians are living in penury.

surely u think same of your mother at home
This is what they teach you in Apc rallies and support forum?

tittop4:
Rationalmind,am sure u must be in a bush where nothing exist and that's why you are saying u never see any Muslim who support jonaTan,come to my world here in the north and u will see that buhari is just a trash

You've made us understand that only muslims in the bush support Buhari
Thanks for the honesty

if God consists of matter, I would have taking you serious,but bible say God is a spirit.

Yet he has hands and feet?
That's material if you ask me

Hiswordxray:
If I have any sickness want so ever I would apply the new testament method i.e I would heal it in the name of Jesus. I haven't taken any drug for a long time (since when I discovered I could heal myself with the name of Jesus).
The world and science is backward but instead of you people to try to meet up, you boast of your ignorance.

So I don't need the world's cure because God's grace is sufficient for me. In Christ I have a drug that can cure all sickness.

And where was Jesus during the ebola crisis in Nigeria?
How far has Jesus gone in sierra Leone where they have conducted countless deliverance and cleansing services?
The backward science has done what Jesus couldn't do

LordReed:
Yes only atheist can comprehend the workings of the universe. /s

Stop saying space expands into it itself, it is impossible. It is expanding, simple.

Edit: scientists simply don't know what is beyond the universe because the "edge" of the universe cannot be observed.

And what scientist has told you the universe has an edge to be observed?
Is the universe a bootle-like space with an opening?

Jah bless

iamlord and pagan9ja
Human are unique comperd to animal, human can make moral choice,human were created in the image of God, yes,animal has soul, but there's is different from human.

The spirit is that part of humans that is
able to love and experience God
directly. It is found in no other animal
species, since no other species can
experience God or form a relationship
with Him.it means there soul is different from human.

The purpose of us living in this earth,is for us to love God or reject Him,and the purpose of heaven is for thoes who love God to spend eternity with Him, the question is HOW DO PET FEET IN?

Throughout the Bible, there is no
mention of pets running around in
heaven. The only creatures described in
heaven are angels and humans. The
Bible indicates that God is a spirit.
Angels are also spiritual beings. This is
Why humans take on a spiritual body so
that we can be with God and the angels.
However, animals are non-spiritual
beings.

" Who knows the spirit of the sons of
men, which goes upward, and the
spirit of the beast, which goes down
to the earth? (Ecclesiastes 3:21)"

This verse do not say animal don't have soul but there soul is different from human.

Lmao now you say animals have souls...dude Watsup with you? Stick to something

Ur Bible is poo, look at the world around u and tell me what silly spirit u have that animals don't have?
Do u even know the meaning of spirit?

cirmuell:
Can you guys proof that they have soul? or tell how you know that they have soul?

Coming from a Christian this is just funny

Can you prove Jesus was born of a Virgin?
Can you prove Jehovah exists and is the creator of everything?
But very importantly...Can you prove Man has a soul?

cirmuell:
No one knows.

And how do you know humans do? Have u seen a soul? I mean if you don't even know the purpose of a soul how can u know what it possesses and what it doesn't?

malvisguy212:
man was created with the BREATH OF GOD, man has soul, the question you should ask is , do animal have soul? Animal don't have soul, they died and return to the dust,but when man died, the soul return to God for judgment and the flesh return to the dust.

And what is the purpose of this Breath of God?
Is it not to animate? the Bible said in Genesis 2:7 that the breath of God made man a living being. Ask urself, are animals living beings? If Yes then that breath of God that makes man alive makes them alive too.
If the Hebrews were too illiterate to figure that simple thing out then must u follow?

Genesis 3:19 Man shall return to dust just like all animals, because we were all created from dust ...so where's ur logic coming from?
Animals have everything man has...especially a soul

cirmuell:
Both are inter-connected, that's if you
choose to believe in that idea. When he
started creation, it's not like he got down
here and started modding stuffs with his
hands. Abi how low should I come?

Goodluck in your quest in finding why you were created.

You didn't answer my questions brother

RandomAfricanAm:
**Old man fist shake**
Dang, You are making me want to revive a thread I made on "the logic embedded in different languages".
(It was a thread lost in the big data wipe last year) After that data wipe I got pissed and left nairaland for months... still not all the way back

I'm curious about...
1. the Literal meaning of the word Awo
2. the semantic meaning of the word Awo
3. the function of the word Awo in relation to others

It looks to me that given some set/array of attributes
Object = [mass, position, color,.........,etc.]

The "logical" function of Awo is to denote/extract the color associated/embedded in the set/array of attributes.

Awo (Object) -> color.Object -> color.[mass, position, Color ,.........,etc.] -> Color
Awo (Ewe) -> color.Ewe -> color.[16 measuring units, [x=1000, y=1300, z=1200], green ,.........,etc.] -> green
Awo Ewe -> green

Which leads me back to the question of what does Awo mean that allows it to be used as such?

Note: My apologies about the "longwindedness" of the post. While my self training is in African world views(history/culture/spirituality). My formal training is software engineering/computer science which deals with languages in a different/distinct manner then what a pure linguist would, hence the weird question

To be honest, I didn't understand everything you have here

But I understand you are confused about "Awo"
Awo(Ahworh) simply means colour, appearance..maybe even description
Awo Ewe would mean colour of a leaf/leaf's colour

To describe something green would be "alawo ewe" = that which has the colour of a leaf

EnlightenedSoul:
Macof, pay the troll no mind.

Paganism is a belief system. Religion. If you disagree, help me understand what you're trying to say in bold. Teach, if you will. Knowledge is meant to be shared.

Well some might say paganism is a religion but it really depends on perspective nd ur understanding of the concepts...many people these days separate spirituality from religion

Religion by definition is the belief and subsequent worship of a supernatural being..eg. A God like Jehovah
Paganism is nt jst about belief in the spiritual but so much more...it's the result of the attitude and mentality of a people...the way they think, what they think and how they act upon their thoughts and philosophies, this produces Culture, traditions, language and spirituality
Now the issue is of spirituality and it's difference with popular religion

I told u before that spirituality in Paganism has to deal with learning the myths, understanding them and decoding them.because they all thoughts of the ancients in relation with the natural world around us...there's no supernatural in paganism, Nature is the Spirits themselves, that's why you can call pagans Pantheist or Animist
Unlike religion, where it's all about "worship the God we preach"...pagans ultimately look to nature

So like I said...calling paganism a religion...or a collection of many religions is a thing of individual perspective.
But I rather not

Macelliot:
E pain you!

E pain am no be small cc:rilwayne001

Buhari and Amaeshit can't speak the English John Kerry would understand...I hope there's was an interpreter there, we wouldn't want the US secretary of state going back with sore ears

We all reject Buhari, a Muslim fundamentalist, tribal bigot, illiterate, violent tyrant.

GEJ on the other hand as been a blessing to the North, a very detribalised man..who can do for other regions what GEJ has done?

Oduduwaboy:
You are just a pathetic ethnic irredentist ! i curse you in the name of Orummila !

Their lies can make the devil step down for Buhari

I rather they ban Religion

Porn is a personal thing, I don't see how anyone uses it to disturb the peace and sanctity of the society

Change2015:
You are entitled to your opinion, but we will settle the question on the 15th of FeBuhari. And we will judge Jonathan for his deeds and misdeeds. Harshly too.

#change
#GMB
#APC

And who is to judge Buhari for his misdeeds.in the 80s?

Dannyset:
These lies they are paying media to tell u. Empirically, has dis translated to the life of a common man? As u are, if u don't hav a rich background, tell me how dis lies of largest economy has manifested in ur life. Don't be deceived by all these. We are talking reality. My brother! Let's say the truth. We need corruption to stop. We need CHANGE.

So Nigeria is not Africa's largest economy? It's all lies by PDP

ordinary citizens in every country don't see the benefit of a boost in economy just like that ...what they see is the result of a grown economy
1. More trade and investments from foreign investors...which ultimately provides employment
2. More Revenue allocation to states...how the state spends it is not FG or PDP's fault(assuming it's nt a PDP executive governor)
3. More Federal projects are executed
4. Government can provide more jobs into the Ministries

All this GEJ done

As to corruption...fighting corruption isn't about packing up people in creates and dumping them in kiriki
2011 elections remain the most free and fair elections in Nigeria, GEJ's administration saw to this

GEJ has reduced corruption in oil and gas sector drastically, we all complained when he reduced the subsidy...later we saw the benefits

GEJ has led the Efcc to greater use having 427 Cases In 3 Years...how many did Obasanjo see? Go find out
And many more...


The only issue with His tenure is Boko haram...and I can't blame him for this
This is terrorism...nt an easy issue to deal with

Lol...simply trace ur ancestry
Ask around for ur family history

Tattooboy:
english = yoruba


red = pupa

black = dudu


and

white = funfun

Green= Awo Ewe
Grey = Awo Iru
Gold(goldish brown)? = Awo wura
Silver/Steel colour = Awo fadaka
Yellow = pupa-...?/Awo Iyeye
Pink = pupa-feere
Blue = Awo Aro/Awo Sanma
Brown = Awo Aragi/buraun/burauni
Orange = Awo Osan
Purple = Awo Aluko
Indigo = Awo Aro

Basically except for funfun, dudu, pupa...colours are named after the most popular object with that colour
Ewe = leaf
Iyeye = a yellow fruit from a tree who's leaves are used for medicine
Aluko = woodcock, it's species are purple feathered in Yorubaland
Iru = locust bean

So to figure out the name of a colour, think of the most common thing with that colour
Our ancestors were very brilliant

Frankenstein:
95% of the Muslims that support Buhari do so because of religion.

100% of muslims I see do so because of religion. Ask them what Buhari has done for them, they have nothing to say

soe:
You irritate me...are u this daft in real life?
So u carry your GEJ~given toga of religious sentiment, looking for muslims that support jonathan. In 2011 you didn't cry foul when muslims supported Jonathan...now that all sensible Nigerians have decided to correct their 2011 mistake, you are here spilling trash...

Just yesterday, Association of Witches n wizards in Nigeria pledged to vote for GeJ, is that not enough for you? Light n darkness can never meet

You make no sense

I have watched several time documentaries where hippos saves other animals from crocs while migration process.. They are real good animals and deserves to be conserved forget the negatives at least they are harbivourous not carnivourouse.

Hippos never attack people unless they feel challengeed...I won't say they are friendly but they have good souls and don't bother people or other animals
