say no to child abuse

Are you high? How is this child abuse?

Why does anything African irritate u morons?

EnlightenedSoul:
Highly laughable, thank you.

But it's true, Africa will remain a continent of unfocused nations until we take pride in the legacies of our Great ancestors

SeverusSnape:
That's the hypocrisy of religion."He was a bright kid,very smart, that made him very dangerous".....Funny indeed. So a smart kid is now a threat. The Oyedepo case comes to mind.
Holy slap

that's why the most devote religionists are dumb...religion is anti-intelligence

[quote author=eaziaque post=29839788][/quote]What do u know about Ifa? Definitely nothing...
So pls take the Yoruba out of ur delusions

Btw to ur last post- The pagan Arabs were against Mohammed because he sought to destroy their pantheon, leaving only Allah...this is a very wrong thing to do

truthman2012:
By who and where?

By pastors, evangelists, the media, the churches down the street.

truthman2012:
Who is the Creator?

The creator is the Creator...it's that simple
It's duty is it's identity
No need for personal names given by mere humans
Names don't give identity to the spiritual, duty and action does

Gods on d other hand, like I said before are products of human imagination, we imagine The creator and other forces of our existence as humanoids and make myths out of them so as to make their basics easy to understand, it's our duty to learn these myths, study them and decode them to fully understand what Gods represent...but in the last 2000 yrs or so Religion has altered the idea of God


I've said this many times already...you can't say you've not read/heard this...even if ur knowledge of true spirituality is at a minimum due to ur ridiculous religion

Blakjewelry:
The writers did not because they know too well they fail like their predecessors. Many times I wonder why it is easy for you guys to attack science whenever the origin of the universe is being discussed, you believe because the world so complex it must be design by somebody. OK let us agree that everything must have a creator, the if whole universe originated from God then we're did God originated from.

There's a difference between God and The Creator
A God can be anything you wish it to be, jst use ur imagination and add ths act of worship to it

truthman2012:
Tell me where you see Christians killing people of other religions for converting to Christianity.

Well I've seen threats nd blackmail

eaziaque:
I don't like commenting on certain issues but I can't resist the will to comment on this. Firstly, I don't have a problem with a critics voicing his opinion on a religious issue once it is well structured, but when the criticism is disillusioned, low mark and full of immature supposition, coming from idle hands and mind, who seek limelight for whatsoever reasons well known to him, then it becomes a problem. Even a blind man can smell how immature and unprofessional this piece from truthman2012 is. It is not by "borrowing" quotes from the internet and coiling and merging it with some restless thoughts that makes you a religious critics, it is the ability to study relentlessly a religion both scripturally and in deeds without any hint of hate, prejudice or fanatism that makes someone like me respect you as a critics. Secondly, you think you know Islam? Well, you don't, you are not even capable of realising that the Word ALLAH is only the arabic equivalent of the english Word GOD, as it is in OLOHUN in yoruba, YAHWEH in hebrew and DIEU in french, meaning you never study the Quran, neither did you study the deeds of respectable islamist you know, then why for God's sake do you debate on an issue you are ignorant of? Why would you accord yourself the liberty and luxury of critising something you have no knowledge of, such ego can not ne driven by other than fanatism and hate. For your information, all Abrahamic faiths stems from the same source and despite the differences we made of them today, they all cut their belief (I use singular here because they are all of one belief) off paganism, polytheism and atheism, so where in your scriptures if you believe in one, do you see Islam, one of the Abrahamic faith having ties with paganism and atheism? Thirdly, please go back history lane before making religious historical references, you need to learn about "heresy" from christianity perspective, research on crusaders, impact and methodology of christianity in conquered lands, ask what the take of christianity is on slavery and its trade in africa, you may have your eyes opened a bit, ofcourse if you derobe yourself of that fanatism and hatred I sensed in you. Fourthly, you don't judge a religion or a faith based on what you observed in a particular grroup of persons, it tends to lead you astray, the Army of God in USA is a christian group (please research this), I can't say christianity tolerate homosexuality beacause certain church priests and archbishops indulge in the act and I can say all christians are ignorant because truthman2012 who seems to be writing as a christian author is discussing off point! A constitution serves as the guide-line and identity of a people, Quran is the Islamic constitution, if you can't take your time to study it and research it before going against its faith and its people, then please write no more of your confusing pieces. Religious issues are not issues you tabled based on your own thoughts, they are issues worth intensive and sincere research. May God's peace be unto you.

I don't know why people keep showing their ignorance..
How many times have people tried to teach you lot that Olorun is not Yahweh, they have 0 thing in common

barwaaqo:
Teach then I want to know why you feel this is important. Somalia is 2500 miles from Nigeria so I want you to make us hear the point!

why exactly do u hate urselves? It's obvious with this large Arab butt licking
Nt that many fooling Nigerians don't do same but Somalis seem so deep and probably lost in it

truthman2012:
What is wrong with copying and pasting as I gave the link for all to see?

If you have a different knowledge, say it.

my point is, i want u to actually read about the higgs particle and stop reading mere titles

plaetton:
Well, I do prefer that god is a subatomic particle that binds matter , than the raging schizophrenic genocidal maniac that infects and live in the psyches of most humans.

To be honest..I consider the creator to be active only a quantum level
Or if there is a plain smaller than that

gatiano:
where is the particle? xaxaxaxaxax, do you mean matter? nobody can find the particle because it has no ending except a special kind of people who are a little over A billion people.

lol I know ur "a little over a billion people" refers to Africans
Ifa says something about this...we call it Odu in Yoruba

truthman2012:
Who is 'Una' in this case?

Scientists discovered GSM, TV, VIDEO etc, and you see them. But when they show you picture of what they discovered about God, you show your unbelief. May God deliver you from unbelief, caused by your enemy - satan.

Can u tell us a few things u know abt Higgs particle? Don't copy nd paste..

Dumb Christians.

How has Higgs Boson turned to part of ur God's body

Pls pick a book nd read

How many "We have" has Buhari said?

GEJ till Buhari can tell us what he has done for Nigerians in his entire lifetime

Rafikizolo:
Hi friends, I have lurked on this site for a long time but decided to create an account today after some recent disturbing and disheartening posts I've seen in the culture section these past few weeks (not going to name people or even the threads I am referring to).
I am a Kenyan-American (dual citizenship) who has lived in South Africa and the United States and visits Kenya regularly. Admittedly, in all these countries, all of the Africans I associate with are fairly progressive so maybe I have a few misconceptions about the things I'm about to discuss here.

In all my time, I've never seen so much illegitimate and unprovoked childishness and hatred from people as I have on this forum with the exception of radical white nationalist groups like the KKK and Stormfront, etc. I'm being very serious right now. People on this forum are better at spitting hatred towards black people than some white neo-nazis, and WE ARE BLACK.


I'm not saying everyone on this forum is like this of course, but why are there so many people who are? Why attack South Africans/Kenyans and tear-down their looks and cultures because you're Nigerian and feel that you are superior? Why dehumanize "bantus" because you are Somali and feel that you're different and more culturally/genetically advanced? None of it makes sense, and one offense is not better than the other. Why must posts that are dedicated to praising our beautiful African women always devolve into tribalistic nonsense?


I'm only 20 years old, but in my opinion, no functioning adult should even be involved in a debate about which country has the most beautiful women... everybody knows they've seen both ugly women and pretty women everywhere they go, and it doesn't matter what you think anyway. Right now there is a white guy somewhere who only finds Swiss women attractive and will swear on his life that they are the most beautiful people in the world, but obviously everyone here would probably disagree with him. Nobody here who thinks, Nigerian/Ghanian/Angolan/Somali/Kenyan/Tanzanian/etc women are the most beautiful are any more correct than that white man.


All of these unnecessary divisions are foolish in my opinion. National identities are created and destroyed constantly. 100 years ago, there was no Kenyan national identity, no Nigerian identity, no Malawian identity, there wasn't a Pakistani identity or a South Korean identity either. And 1000 years ago there wasn't even an overarching black identity in Africa. All of these internet wars that are fought between nations are so arbitrary. Right now countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi are working towards a political and economic union to form a new country, while leaders of the African union are constantly working towards African unity and have spoken in favor of creating a unified African state. Why are people on here so backwards?


When I listen to Nigerian music or South African music I do not feel inferior or jealous or unworthy. I feels so proud. I feel proud of all African achievements. Yet some people on here have written posts claiming that Nigeria is the best country because it has the best music and everyone else is jealous and it has the biggest economy and is therefore untouchable and all other African countries are sub-par and nobody can match Nigeria's excellence etc, etc. By that "logic", the United States is undeniably the best country in the entire world and every African country can suck it (including Nigeria) because the United States has the most popular musicians in the world (and that's not changing any time soon) and has the world's largest economy (Nigeria isn't even in the top 25 largest world economies).


So please, can we move on from this childishness? As Kenyan, i see all African people as my brothers (even Cushites, idk what Axum says) and I know literally dozens, perhaps hundreds of people who see things the same way. So why so much foolishness here? We are all family. One Africa, One Fate.

Beautiful...but
Do you also see Arab Africans as your brothers?

truthman2012:
Muslims do the chopping and if you keep encouraging them it will be on the increase. Don't you hear muslims shouting allau akbar all the time from as early as 5am? That one doesn't disturb the public but the church, abi? In the 70s muslims attacked 'egungun' worshipers in Ajegunle, Lagos and last year they attacked them in Ada in Osun. Yet they are not disturbing you.

Of course the muslims are retarded and Islam should be made an international crime but christianity is not innocent, both religions are for mad people

truthman2012:
Leave them to their belief so that they can continue in their atrocities? Would you be saying this if they have cut of your hands or legs or chop off your neck?

Who would do d chopping? Am talking abt Christians leaving traditional beliefs alone..stop attacking us in ur churches nd going to the street with large microphone disturbing the public nd discouraging people from their ancestral heritage

the issue here about Igbo in Equatorial Guinea lays on whether the government.considers Igbos local citizens or jst simple migrants

Like Turkish is acknowledged in Germany but jst at migrant level...if that's the same case with Igbo then it's nt a "Recognized language" but "main language" due to large population of Igbo speakers

truthman2012:
This is a good moral advice but will terrorists heed it?

They won't obviously but will Christian evangelists leave others to their beliefs and quit verbal attacks nd emotional blackmail?

barwaaqo:
If you aren't Somali why do you post these things

Education...sometimes to educate you Somalis on what you have forgotten about ur ancestral heritage

Bullshiit list.
Everybody knows Kings College Lagos is number 1.
Where's Queens College nd St Gregs?

alvins4ull:
Ouch that hurts men,well I would've have said you're "DAFT"but I wouldn't want to use that world.And I don't have to be play victim for what happened, okay?.It seems you're here to "ATTACK",wish means there's no forgiveness in your beliefs I pity your friends.Calling people names is not my hubby and I'm not "BUILT"that way,lolz Or do you want me to say sorry to you also "no way".It left to you anyways

This is the playing victim part that I keep saying...you insulted the Yoruba people by calling us idol worshipers, correcting you is now insults? You trying to play emotional blackmail on me with d bold? You think that works for everybody?

Jst take correction, It's ISESE, ABORISA, IFA-ORISA or simply Yoruba..but not idol worshipping...that's an insult

myouri:
Kwara is @ d north-central zone..don't know if it could be called Yoruba land tho cuz there are lotta Hausas and Fulanis aswell.


Anyways..#Proudly Kwara Yoruba abbi #Proudly Northern Yoruba

What town in kwara?

Mosesm:
Well intentioned article but full of errors. Your total reliance on wikipedia and CIA factBook will not tell the true story.
First, Yoruba population is not around 35 million.
Secondly, while it is a fact that "Even though a good number of Yoruba people practice Christianity" what about Islam adherents! Infact it is a old Yoruba proverb that AIYE LA BA IFA, AIYE LA BA IMOLE, OSAN GANGAN NI IGBAGBO WO ILE DE meaning, While Ifa and Islam are indigeneous christianity is foreign and is an emergent religion. Islam has been in Yoruba land even before the Hausas. Remember Mansa Kankan Musa pilgrimage to Mecca!
On selecton of Oba in Yorubaland, the fact is completely the opposite of your "facts". No Oba is ever selected by an Oba who is in power. That is the duty of the Kingmakers do that.. Infact when women are not legally permitted to vote in US and Europe, women are appointed as Iyalodes a veto power wielding member of the Kingmakers. Some town even appoint women as regents. At the time of absolute monarchy in the West, the Yoruba monarchical system is well advanced with the oyomesi as an independent institution holding the power to dethrone the Oba if there is widesperead discontentment with him.

On the uniqueness of Yorubas pls read on the history of Americas before Columbus

what rubbish is this one posting? Islam indigenous Mohammed was from ijebu-ode abi?

alvins4ull:
.It seems you didn't read response to his post and I could see you didn't practice what you preach yourself."Telejo ba mon ejo e Lebi koye ko pe lori ikunle ni Yoruba wi".A bo o tun gba nkan leyin mabinu ni?Just let it slide okay?.

Shut up again! Ur response was rubbish
it's only a foolish Jew worshiper or follower of Arab pedophiles that would dare call isese Idol worshipping..don't come here playing the victim...it's pathetic

alvins4ull:
@PAGAN9JA,I'm very sorry brother, but you've went too far though remember this is not my language and besides do you know my religion?. I don't think you're a real Yoruba by blood.Asi meta lowa;asiwi,asiso ati asigbo,a a ni siso o,Loruko a won iya mi AJIBIKE.But you Bleep up sha.

Shut up. Why should you call Isese idol worshipping...and you call urself Yoruba
Pagan 9ja is right to point that out

Se o siso ati siko be yen ni? Lo so fun Iya yin Ajibike

and what change did the return have on nigeria, did the price of petrol return to its orignal cost of 65naira, he claimed his government had negotiated a ceasefire with bh, only for bh to strike and kill further nigerians and so many of his try and luck statements which have not benefited anybody apart from crooks like him

97naira still isn't good for you?
Na so you poor reach?

theV0ice:
and you think the guns "buhari didn't buy in 1984 is the reason for jonathan's security failures of 2014"? what kind of weapons bought in 1984 can stand the efficiency of the modern weapons boko haram use today?

do you know how silly this thought is when you remember that the nigerian army carried out successful military campaigns in liberia and sierraleone in the 1990s. what weapons did the army use in those mega campaigns?

Building national sectors and such a sensitive one like military and defence is a long term project...what did those heads of state of the 80s and 90s do to develop the military in case of crises like we have now?
what weapons were we producing? what weapons did we buy?

What blame GEJ like he destroyed the system, he met it at a woeful state

oh!,pls military campaign to Liberia, like the campaign to Mali 2yrs ago?
How does that prove Nigeria had a strong military in the 90s? What weapons were we using?
Sending men to stand, watch and flex their little equipments isn't what am talking about

MyNameIsMyName:
it is u and ur useless gej that are pathetic, look at who is talking of honesty, a president that can't make a statement and can't stick to it, if u don't have anything to say, never u quote me again

Can you answer my question? Did GEJ not return the subsidy?
