Olodumare through the Orisha did

solotutu: deuteronomy has all d answers ure looking for.


Rem the song of Moses? His farewell message to Israel?


He prophesied alot that is going to happen to them for real. Some othere were based on conditions(mount ebal and gerizim)



one of such prophecy is that if they sinned against God, he'l deliver them to their enemies who will drive them out of their land, etc. Thats the simple answer. Prophecies are too powerful to ignore. They are accurate as well- thats true prophecy! After the millenia, they'l get it all back and nations will bring tithes to them

Pls show us where God gave them the land in question

That's what the thread is about

Image123: The context of the verse i quoted says "as I said unto Moses". There was a promise on ground to Abraham and his seed, and that was what was told Moses.

Gen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Gen 15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Gen 15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Gen 15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

This was the promise, it was left for the seed to claim it at the appropriate time. What they claimed was the land of Canaan only, not God's fault.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

They seemed fixed on Canaan only while they could have had more.
Gen 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
Gen 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.

This above again is the land of Canaan guaranteed.
Gen 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

God gives a start(Canaan) and much more. It is up to the individual to take what potential God has given. God for instance has given the land of Nigeria crude oil since MANY years. Why did Nigeria not use it until less than 100years ago? Is it God's fault? Why is Nigeria mismanaging it, i guess to you it is God's fault too. Man is a free WILL/moral agent and God appreciates us putting it to good use. God made us in His own image and likeness, not as robots that He needs to do everything for.
It is the same today for every man. The promises of God are abundant and yea and amen. Everyone is expected to tap into the vast and inexhaustible promises of God. You need to drill, you need to mine, you need to extract and refine the precious things. Today, God offers healing, salvation, etc etc blessings. Some people take nothing, some take healing only, some take salvation only. God has built us all with massive massive capacity.

Jos 21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he swore to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Jos 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Jos 21:45 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.


Like i've explained, it is a process. God gives(positionally), then you go and work, then God (experientially) gives. Observe the trend in the verses below.
Positional- Jos 8:1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

Go to work- Jos 8:7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Experiential- Jos 8:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
Jos 8:26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.


That's the way these things work basically, except of course you are not interested in understanding or growing in the knowledge of God.

good one...but you are a criminal I tell u

So now you shift the blame to the Israelites?

Prophecy is prophecy, promise is promise

God promised a land, but the people never got it

It's that simple

meilyn how ur side?

Your ministry.no dey move again o

shoefreak: It only confuses a child. And it often makes him harden his heart. Heartless kids start like that.

A good talk often sorts it. Don't let him start to think "last last na cane'.

A good spanking often sorts it better. Don't let him start to think "no matter what I do, I can't be punished"

texanomaly: That is what parenting is all about. It is our job as parents to teach them coping skills that will help them become mature, rational adults.

A good spanking is part of the parents tool to teach the kids how to be mature and rational

striktlymi: God is not bound by any rule.

So he is above the law?

enomakos: my brother i read the news well and i know what an egungun is

must them attack?

one thing with muslims is they can't tolerant other religion

True.

We see here that the muslims attacked...egungun people didn't

Muslims in the state of Osun(our dear goddess) are potential terrorists

Timothy3113: hmm
u no sabbi wetin u dey talk. When dese parent are crossedbreed, they give birth to AA AS AS SS. There genetypic ratio is 1/2. They might be carriers, but the prrobability of giving birth to sickle cell 1/2.

You did see "a child".not "children"

If you have comprehension problems, not my business

Timothy3113: stupid atheist,

in ur stupidity you call me atheist...where have I ever claimed to be atheist

tb jah shiit

The thief is frustrated and he resorts to curses and warning...it is only you to be blamed, useless man

dexmundo: out of the three words you wrote, two are used with the intent of cursing or verbally abusing me. Born again christians dont use verbal abuse. So i know who you are, where you belong and what your destiny looks like if you dont repent from your sins. However, pending when you will repent, dont comment on religious issues or topics like this because they are not meant for you. The OP dragged in the christian religion into this plainly scientific finding, thats why i expressed a religious view too. So since you are not a born again christian, dont comment on issues that are meant for born again christians to learn from. I have no business commenting on muslim threads or fighting non christians who discuss unchristian issues

Still a dumb religious zombie.

I don't know how an African man would wake up and worship Jews as holy people...damn it..even the Bible shows how evil they are

kingston277: Seems like this thread should've been in the religion section.

I don't think so. Juju is not religion

Here's my theory

AS + AS couple produce a child of SS who falls sick every time and probably dies before the marriageable age...in cases where the child survives to have it's own children, there's a big chance having the Sickel cell continue into the next generation

This is what Yorubas and Igbos in ancient times didn't know and kept cursing the spirit of sickle cell (known as Abiku/Ogbanje) when it could have been prevented

fem30: Please, what is the meaning of AJANAKU?

It's a name given to elephant Hunters or descendants of great elephant Hunters

Like Ogidan is to lion hunters

Ajanaku itself is an Oriki to Elephants, but I don't know the real meaning

Akanbiedu: You are the fhool here. This is the guy's quote again

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." — Blaise Pascal

This was your response to murder of another human being



In other words, you just justified the extra-judicial killing of another human being based on your religious conviction - which is in perfect consonance with the quote. This is even in a situation where traditionalists are in minority, what if they were majority. You are no different from Boko haram my friend.

Where's the religious conviction? Upon the fact that traditionalists are the minority can't muslims and Christian leave us alone?
We own the land, we own our culture, our traditions and Egungun celebrations in honour of the ancestors didn't start today, it over 3000yrs

The man in question went against the traditions of the egungun, which is part of customary laws of Nigeria...and by that law he is to pay with his life

Take the case to any court

muslims trying to reconcile with science

But the OP only proves that the Quran is bullpoo

Earth and heaven joined together - the Quran.doesn't make it clear what this means, whether it's symbolism or literal.

planet Earth is over 8billion years away from the proposed start of the universe
If heaven is taken as the realm from which the bang finds it's source...heaven and earth can't be said to have been joined together, since it took earth billions of years to appear

Maybe the op should go back to his Quran and ask Allah questions

Akanbiedu: You won this argument. A trophy for you.

Another fool born of a slave

Idrismusty97: ....And that is why they open fire at him? Such primitive thinking! You just justify the quote by Blaise Pascal even more. And someone is saying this traditional religions is only hope for Africa. LMAO!

You ever heard of punishment to trespassers?

Btw there's hardly traditional religion in Yorubaland...we practice mainly pure spirituality nt religion

Justcash: We are one people from the womb of one Nigeria. We are brothers and sisters. We are one family. We are Nigerians.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Clueless fellow.

We are nt one, do u know wat "one" means?? We aren't brothers and sisters in one family

A Yoruba has more in common with some Togolese than he has with a kanuri from borno
kanuri, efik/ibibio have their kins in Cameroon...people whom they are culturally brothered to. Not some fake national boundaries created by thieving British

Nigeria is nt one, never was and most certainly never will

Sanchez01: For me, I'll say TRIBALISM - Our strength lies in our diversity.

maybe u mean tribal bigotry...tribalism is good, it puts ur tribe and ethnicity first before anything but being a bigot is disgusting

Our strength lays in our diversity- biggest lie ever told to Nigerians

I would change the 1914 incident...
that began all Nigerian people's problems

Unless she's a prostitute I don't see why a man should be the one spending the money while she only sits, eats and gets bleeped

The only broadcast worth a jubilation is that of Nigeria's disintegration

This country is cursed since 1914

Idrismusty97: You should be working on eradicating religion from Africa! Being slaves to ourselves is worst than being slaves to the Arabs and Europeans. Religion is a cursed on earth!

Masquerade’s Followers Kill Islamic Cleric In Abeokuta
https://www.nairaland.com/1178354/masquerades-followers-kill-islamic-cleric

Did u read the article at all or u blind to read that The Muslim was told to stay away? but used his okada to disturb the festival

AbdH: You're just ranting on the cyberspace.

wat ranting? Task ur tawuun to eradicate egungun if they can

Omo eru osi

abdulwastecx: you don't need God to divide Nigeria....
All the citizen residing in all the artificial regions can take to the street demanding fir separation. .. I bet you, if the pretest continuee for one month, Nigeria will be divided

Yh you absolutely right about that
Humans need to take their destiny in their own hands

laudate: Because they speak Yoruba, abi ?? Please go back & read the history of Ilorin and how it was established, before you make such sweeping statements.

You should know that the founder of Ilorin is Afonja's grandfather, an elephant hunter from the metropolitan oyo villages. Afonja became a soldier in the Oyo army and was appointed Aare Ona Kankanfo (army marshal) of Oyo, when Oyo ruled most parts of Today's Yorubaland

Ilorin was the base of Oyo warriors, and also the northern slave camp. Fulani and Nupe slaves were at abundance to tend to Alaafin's horses and the army.
due to an argument with Alaafin Aole, Afonja sought the fulani Islamic preacher in Ilorin, Alimi to help get fulanis and muslims(Yoruba muslims included) to fight for ilorin's independence...afonja got his independence but lost rulership as he was killed by Alimi. Alimi became ruler as he was declared by the fulani, nupe, bariba and Yoruba muslims residing in the city.
Aole cursed afonja's descendants to be slaves like the slaves that helped their father, also he caused Yorubas to be used as slaves since his foreign slaves were freed..that's when Yoruba sons and daughters began to be taken by the Europeans

olapluto: Go try am for Iwo. Just last week, Taawun 'arrested' a herbalist who has been using juju to con people. Iwo is not Ilorin.

Try wat? Let Taawun try rubbish first anywhere in Osun state

I know you all aren't sons of the land, ur blood might be but not mind and soul, you don't mind taking to bombs for Allah like boko haram.
that's why I don't regard muslims and Christians as Yoruba, they are all bastrds

A fake herbalist surely needs to be punished, but then who says a fake herbalist is a pagan? Most of them are muslims trying to make cool cash in local places

Akalia: While starring at the 1914 amalgamation pic, I thought to myself if that day can be reversed.

By the Gods, That amalgamation would be destroyed soon.

I love this.

But we should understand fews things here

Education begets enlightenment, exposure and knowledge which every Great man possesses however Nigerians today think Western education is the only sort of education, we don't teach our kids African values, our history, our culture, language.
we don't let our kids develop independently and discover themselves we force our opinions on them and lock away their true potential
Every mother and father wants PhD children in medicine, engineering, law

Going to school, sitting in class and passing exams doesn't make your future bright...it's your life style- that is ur approach to life which is built by hard work and intelligence...you don't get this from university
Although you night need it to make it out of university

iamord: Inferiority complex of black people

Majority of us hate ourselves with disgust

It's jst so disgusting that black people wish to remain slaves to Arabs and Europeans
