MrPresident1: Israelites of the Old testament are actually the Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Lemba, Tarok, Berom, Siyawa, Esan, etc. peoples of today. They hid the truth from us, and because we sef were dumbed down by God, we have not been wise enough to decode until now.
.

Pls why does seun allow mad men on nairaland??

And some idiots like mr. President would be parading as a Jew

Useless bunch of fools that these Christians are

prettyboi1989: U knw u actually dumber dan d way u talk? Because u don't know something, u fink it doesn't exist? So because u failed at somthing u fink no other can succeed at it? Now I knw the problem of u people. Aliens exists and are known, like or not, no 1 wants the world to believe that aliens exists. Most of nasa's former employees that were involved with aliens in secret missions wind up dead almost immediately after they reveal secrets of what happened. They send people to kill them. M sure ur ignorance will not let u know that there is a place in america called area 51 whch is a base for covert operations with aliens. U can read about it if u r eager. America has been dealing with aliens since time past.
And I repeat, if u don't believe in God u can't phatom hez existence nor his power so don't try to imagine it. Hez real n he works. If many attest to the fact that something is good, its insanity that will make one ordinary person say they are all lying, so they all planned to lie about how good that thing is abi? Think dude. Its eida u believe dat God is or d devil is.

Both ur god and his brother/son/partner the devil are fictional characters of late jews and Romans.

have you seen aliens? USA communicates with aliens they don't want people to know but you know and they are not after your life

EMILO2STAY: still giving empty rants without proof, skulls dug up the ground prooves nothing ,show me a chimp or gorrila that has speciated into a homo habilis since the past 150year and i will believe you . humans also share 90% genes with cats, 80% with cows yet why do we not see them evolve to somthing humanoid. so the fact that we share similar genes is not a proof that man evolved from monkeys. evolution is based on faith. evolution is the creation theory for the religion of atheism.

Yes, the fact that we share so much genetic similarities show that our biomechanics have a common source

Are you mad? What faith?? Even pagans believe in evolution

Evolution is not creation you illiterate

EMILO2STAY: you simply cant explain that using science right!, u want to comfuse me with illusion. i said explain the possibilty of a human seeing with the eyes closed using science and logic.

I already told you it's illusion. If you Stu don't get it then you need ur brain worked on

EMILO2STAY: mr pls interpret correctly how a super natural event such as cat turning into a young girl when hit by a car can be possibble naturaly.

where you there when it happened?

GJames: Who brought education to you. Religious men made major discoveries in science.
Apart from brainwashing your kind tell me what good evolution has done to science

My ancestors passed education to me.

Religious men have yes! It was a priest who initiated the big bang theory.

But then let's talk about christianity in mediaeval times. How the church killed and jailed philosophers and scientist for practising, saying any knowledge outside the Bible is from the devil bla bla bla.

How many text from early scientist were destroyed and some rewritten over to hide their original notes

Evolution theory has helped improve biology, medicine and even chemistry
It is also generally a Great step in understanding our universe

GJames: Give me answers and stop blabbing about santa

I already gave answers if you want to see these evidence for ur self take a trip to any top biology faculty and see fossils from 20thousand years ago being examined to be related to 21st century men and posses some ape-like features.
you can ask to observe the identification process of DNA, to see the similarities between humans and other primates

Not to forget ancient societies have tales Linking men to apes

FOLYKAZE: I throway salute my brother. . . You have it all.

Abeg do not waste your time directing Mazaje to any Awo. . . .he is unserious type that only comes online to bark.

It's funny how the guy asked for objective testing, and ran away when I faced him
Noisemakers, even the worlds leading scientists would never say a stone doesn't react like generalshepherd

GeneralShepherd: I really don't know what to say to a foolish statement claiming that a stone is conscious and you are derailing this thread!

@mazaje and TheBigUrban2 why have you 3 not provided answers to a simple question??

Can there be reaction without awareness?? Simple question, you either are too dumb to not know the answer or too insincere to say it.

enigmaotr: I only wish I truly have the time. You claim there's no God and you can't give a reasonable point why we have such an organised universe with complex beings like humans living in it! Saying everything just happen by chance, is not only unreasonable, but also illogical. Please deal with that! Science itself is grounded in spirituality. Nothing can shake my faith! If at all, not a belief in God! I've known too much about spirituality than start believing there's no God! THAT WILL NEVER BE POSSIBLE!!! Let those who can waste their time with people like you, do so. As for me, count me out.
I'd rather keep on reading your foolishness as your try and try to prove to no avail why there can't be any God!
I had no problem knowing if there's any God or not, the only problem I had is if I was serving the true God.
Now, are you a Yoruba boy as your name implies? Please an answer!

Shut up u!
There's no God in spirituality, it's spirits(what science calls energy). Non sentient beings that sustain the universe.

Your stuupid religion paints a false and disgraceful image about spirituality

Spirituality is search and experience in matters concerning the universe, we use personifications to tell our stories better While you are busy looking for a man in the sky looking at you through a mirror or pool of water

mrceo63: my question to atheist
So many things happening around us shows there is a being/supernatural..
Why living in denial...

What do you know about Ifa?? And any other ancient spirituality??

If you understand what spirituality is all about you would know that your skydaddy is merely a fable

Olokun is female both historically and spiritually in all tales I have received.
It's only Benin people and those they influenced like Itsekiri and Ilaje that personified olokun as Male.
Even to ijebu it is considered feminine

tosinisrael5678: First the engagement ring then then the wedding ring n next suffe[b]ring[/b] then they turnto lords of the ring......this is a style for those that rush into marriage.....abegi marraige is a destination to death. Y start it on time....i wanna enjoy ma singlehood[not in immoralities sha] ...to me, the guy n gal are both correct in their respective ways.... but they re more like unmarried couple[cos they re already doing wat marries pple do].....

unmarried couple?? Wat is that After banging the girl and using her you wanna dump her for another man.
Crazy bunch of people we have everywhere what has Africa turned into?

femmefatale: This is actually my experience.....almost five years and guy talks and reasons exactly like d guy here. He wants us 2 continue d relationship but wt no commitment. Says he's not ready financially yet he works in a multinational company nd earns beta dan whr he was last year(@ least his excuse last year was he cudnt make a family wt d kinda job he was doing dn). Dis year d excuse too is, he's nt ready financially nd also psychologically. Can't continue 2 write abt d relationshp. We actually once (if nt more dan once)had a conversation like dis nd his responses were just identical 2 dis guy's. In fact, d diff is d use of words bt dey av d same implication. Men!!!

You better find your level because sure a man is not ready for you.

princesa: Lol...boys and girls losing their consciences since 18 BC.

Being in a relationship means more than just a union of a man and woman, too bad some people don't understand

Beautiful! If you can't evolve your relationship each passing day then forget it.

rightym: See dis girl is right to de core. She may not ve a substitute as insinuated by many. But de truth is de guy does not ve her in his plan even if dey continuing dating for ten years.
Guy u re earning 120k and u re afraid of commitment ? U Don't want marriage but u want to date her until she get to menopause, u will den joyfully go marry a younger lady to bare u kids..

Wake up and stop spiting sh*t.

Exactly! Even if he is earning 20k. if a man loves a woman and they are compatible then marry her, together you can build the empire you want.

Wat happens if as you are waiting for millions before you marry and the millions never come?? Would u now start looking for a wife at 50??
Senseless guy in that op and all in this thread supporting him

I just felt I should compile this for my beloved Ekiti people.

The Ekiti people are aboriginal, culturally homogeneous and highly intellectual agriculturalist Yoruboid-speaking people that forms a sub-group of the larger Yoruba ethnic group of West Africa, particularly in Nigeria and some part of Benin. Ekiti people who are well-known for their diverse and quality of traditional arts, music, poetry and witty sayings are reside predominantly in the Ekiti State in Western Nigeria. The Ekiti constitutes one of the largest Yoruba sub-group in Nigeria with the 2006 population census by the National Population Commission putting the population of Ekiti State at 2,384,212 people.
Ekiti State lies south of Kwara and Kogi State, East of Osun State and bounded by Ondo State in the East and in the south. It was declared a state on October 1, 1996 alongside five others by the military under the dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. The state, carved out of the territory of old Ondo State, covers the former twelve local government areas that made up the Ekiti Zone of old Ondo State. On creation, it took off with sixteen (16) Local Government Areas (LGAs), having had an additional four carved out of the old ones. Ekiti State is one of the thirty-six states that constitute Nigeria. The capital of Ekiti State is Ado-Ekiti.
There are not less than 120 towns in Ekiti state. One important aspect of the Ekiti towns is the common suffix "Ekiti" attached to their names eg. Ido-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Oye-Ekiti.

Historically Ekiti people like the larger Yoruba are aborigine to the region, until absorbed by the invaders from the East. The term Ekiti denotes a "Mound", and is derived from the rugged mountainous feature of the country. It is an extensive province and well watered, having several tribes and clans right on to the border of the Niger, eastward. They hold themselves quite distinct from the Ijesas, especially in political affairs but have always had a strong brotherhood consciousness.

Ekiti themselves never saw each other as one nation until the Ekiti parapo(Ekiti confederacy) agreement of 1877 in order to raise a strong army against Ibadan.
The 16 foremost Ekiti Obas also went into agreements with Ijesa as Ogedengbe of Ilesa led the Ekiti parapo army

It is believed that the ancestors of Ekiti people who came to combine with the aboriginal people on the land migrated from Ile Ife, the spiritual home of the Yoruba people. According to oral and contemporary written sources of Yoruba history, Oduduwa, the ancestor of the Yoruba traveled to Ife [Ife Ooyelagbo] where he met people who were already settled there. Among the elders he met in the town were Agbonniregun,Obatala, Orelure, Obameri, Elesije, Obamirin, Obalejugbe just to mention a few. It is known that descendants of Agbonniregun [Baba Ifa] settled in Ekiti, examples being the Alara and Ajero who are sons of Ifa from the same mother. Orunmila himself spent a greater part of his life at Ado before going back to Ife to become Oba of Oketase, Ife. Due to this, we have the saying ‘Ado ni ile Ifa’ [Ado is the home of Ifa].

The early Ekiti country is divided into 16 districts (and it has been maintained to this day), each with its own Owa or King (Owa being a generic term amongst them) some of which are Owore of Otun,The Ajero of Ijero, Alara of Aramoko, Alaye of Efon-Alaye, Ewi of Ado, Elekole of Ikole, Olojudo of Ido, Oloye of Oye, Arinjale of Ise(and 7 others i dont know). these 16 Owas controlled other small towns that paid homage to them, Ewi and Owore are said to have had the largest territories.

The Ekiti are very intelligent and have a deep love of home- there has been no large scale migration of Ekiti peoples to neighbouring countries, but Ekitis are in other parts of Yorubaland mostly in Ondo, Oshun and Kwara states. Respect for age and superiors, ingrained politeness is part and parcel of their nature. Ekiti land is reputed to have produced the highest number of professors in Nigeria.It is rather by heritage than by accident that the motto of the present Ekiti state is “Fountain of Knowledge,” since Agbonniregun whose descendants are all over Ekitiland is praised as Akeke-f'inu s'ogbon [the small man with a mind full of wisdom, which could be the source of the popular "Ekiti kete" slogan
Several pioneers academics are from the state. Pioneers like Profs Adegoke Olubummo (One of the 1st Nigerian Professors in the field of Mathematics), Adeyinka Adeyemi (1st Professor of Architecture in West Africa). Others include renowned academics like Profs J.F. Ade-Ajayi, Niyi Osundare, Sam Aluko and others too many to mention


The main staple food of the people of Ekiti is pounded yam with Isapa soup or vegetable soup. NATURAL RESOURCES Ekiti land is naturally endowed with numerous natural resources. The state is potentially rich in mineral deposits. These include granite, kaolin, columbite, channockete, iron ore, baryte, aquamine, gemstone, phosphate, limestone,GOLD among others. They are largely deposited in different towns and villages of Ijero, Ekiti West, Ado - Ekiti, Ikole, Ikere, Ise-Ekiti and other Local Government Areas.The Land is also blessed with water resources, some of its major rivers are Ero, Osun, Ose, and Ogbese. More so a variety of tourist attractions abound in the state namely, Ikogosi Warm Spring, Ipole - Iloro Water Falls, Olosunta hills, Ikere, Fajuyi Memorial Park Ado - Ekiti and so on. The Ikogosi tourist centre is the most popular and the most developed. The warm spring is a unique natural feature, and supporting facilities are developed in the centre. The spring is at present being processed and packaged into bottled water for commercial purpose by a private company - UAC Nigeria
Moreover, the land is buoyant in agricultural resources with cocoa as its leading cash crop. It was largely known that Ekiti land constituted well over 40% of the cocoa products of the famous old Western Region. The land is also known for its forest resources, notably timber. Because of the favorable climatic conditions, the land enjoys luxuriant vegetation, thus, it has abundant resources of different species of timber. Food crops like yam, cassava, and also grains like rice and maize are grown in large qualities. Other notable crops like kola nut and varieties of fruits are also cultivated in commercial quantities

EMILO2STAY: u are confusing urself. Wat is the difference between religion and spirituality. Or maybe ur slowly coming to terms with the supernatural.

I am nt here to teach you philosophy
read a book.
Supernatural is only a misinterpreted situation that is perfectly natural in reality

EMILO2STAY: Very good defination. In oder words what i witnessed on that night were not illusions cuz i saw clearly the four walls of my room while my eyes where perfectly closed. So mr prove to me using science how this is possible.

You are a lost course.
Even after posting what illusion means you still can't understand. Smh
Nigeria is doomed with people like you

bring ur eyes lemme take it to a lab

GJames: Where are the scientific
breakthroughs due to
evolution? Dr Marc
Kirschner, chair of the
Department of Systems
Biology, Harvard Medical
School, stated: “In fact, over
the last 100 years, almost all
of biology has proceeded
independent of evolution,
except evolutionary biology
itself. Molecular biology,
biochemistry, physiology,
have not taken evolution
into account at all.”9 Dr Skell
wrote, “It is our knowledge
of how these organisms
actually operate, not
speculations about how
they may have arisen
millions of years ago, that is
essential to doctors,
veterinarians, farmers
… .”10 Evolution actually
hinders medical
discovery.11 Then why do
schools and universities
teach evolution so
dogmatically, stealing
time from experimental
biology that so benefits
humankind?

what Christian website did u copy this lie from?
No biologist would ever utter such foolish words

GJames: You say religion is stagnant. You lie.
*Religion is the reason you call yourself literate
*Religion is the reason why you are not wearing leaves right now
*Religion is the reason you 've not been sacrificed to a tree or a rock.
Apart from taking people's heart from God, evolution has added nothing to science

Are you mad? When did religion do all this?
education is the reason for literacy, creativity and art is the reason for clothes not religion.
Sacrificed by who?? Damned dummy evolution theory has helped improve human understanding of the universe, both in biology and other branches

EMILO2STAY: they have not observed anything otherwise they would have solid proof and not by ridiculously assuming that this and that might have happened.
secondly they do it specificaly to take the mind of people off religeon specificaly christianity.

Are you are troll or jst naturally foolish??
Read books and reason with your brain, that's one reason why u have a brain

1. homo sapient fossils have been found dating over 20thousand yrs to have ape-like features,
2. Fossils for different homos(humanoids) have been found to relate to each other in perfect evolving sequence
3. Humans and chimpanzees share 96% identical DNA, and other variants in our primate family, like it's 97% between humans and Orangutans, 98% with gorillas.
Between two different humans it's 99%
4. Ancient people knew how similar we are with other primates, in Malay, orangutan means "man of the forest"
even Ifa states that Edun (apes) are related to humans. In one story, the first Humans to cut off from the apes were twins.

If you want explicit read on evolution, you should pick a book

EMILO2STAY: [.quote author=macof]

Illusions. hahahahahahaha...pls define illusions.

illusion


noun
- (countable) Anything that seems to be something that it is not.

We saw what looked like a tiger among the trees, but it was an illusion caused by the shadows of the branches.

Using artificial additives, scientists can create the illusion of fruit flavours in food.

- (countable) A misapprehension; a belief in something that is in fact not true.

Jane has this illusion that John is in love with her.

- (countable) A magician’s trick.
- (uncountable) The state of being deceived or misled.
synonyms
- (the state of being deceived or misled) misapprehension
.

So Mr. illusions are very much in the context of Natural, nothing supernatural in that.

EMILO2STAY: the ancients were very very religious, the amount of religious people today is a proof to that despite scientists trying to convince people out of it .

u call the ancients ignorant but they new the planets and the solar system thousands of years before modern science.

What ancients?? the poor gullible people or the actual priests and philosophers who established personifications around various forms of energy?

discoveries made weren't on religious background, religion discovers nothing it is stagnant on it's founding dogmas, the religious only follow what they are told.
Knowledge of planets as the ancient Greek and Roman pagans knew were not religion but spirituality.
Get the difference between religion and spirituality

prettyboi1989: Hmm what an interesting topic. If u don't believe in God nor hez word u can neva by any means understand anything about creation neither can you phatom it.
*Creation was made by God. Ur scientists don't believe in God because they believe things only work in physical which they regard to as facts but dispell the existence of the supernatural(which is very real). That is why the came up with evolution theories to try and cook up stories about how the world came into being. Many of you are saying scientists all over accepted these evolution theories. Well, its these same scientists that made u to believe aliens are not real, that they are fictions, UFOs are regarded as being unreal so that the world will not figure out the truth. Ur scientists don't want u to believe that God exists, neither do they want you to believe that aliens exists.
Did u guys know that Charles darwin, father of evolution accepted God when he was on his sick bed.
If u want to know more about creation, angels and aliens look for the book of enoch.

More dumb Christians as result of the nation's failed educational system and dysfunctional society.

there's nothing like supernatural, because you can't explain it don't make it work of a demon or some aged immortal skydaddy.

Science never said aliens aren't real, aliens aren't known doesn't equate inexistent.
Lemme ask you...do you think aliens exist? If so do you think superman exist?

EMILO2STAY: anything u cant prove, any thing u or anybody have not witnessed, anything that does not make sense is a lie and anything that close to 6000 years of mans history or existense has not recorded is a lie; Such as the theory of evolution.

....and to address this ur shameful post.
If you know a thing about evolution you would have known that evolution has been proved, it has been witnessed, and makes a whole load of sense.

Your unintelligence is so disgusting, a pity your likes are in majority in Nigeria and Africa, those who replace common sense and intelligence for fables, superstitions and hope
Nigerian education is a failure

EMILO2STAY: anything u cant prove, any thing u or anybody have not witnessed, anything that does not make sense is a lie and anything that close to 6000 years of mans history or existense has not recorded is a lie; Such as the theory of evolution.

I got u right where I want you.

Jehovah cannot be proved, Jehovah cannot be witnessed, Jehovah doesn't make sense.

in your own analogy - Jehovah is a lie

EMILO2STAY: pls explain to me using science how a human beign can close the eyes but still see clearly.

Illusions.

EMILO2STAY: they are not trying to communicate but indoctrinate people with a false theory of the origin of life and man which they have failed.

They are communicating with the universe. Teaching the theory of evolution and it's possibilities as has been observed and rationalised is a way of understanding the universe better like language is a collection of words to understand each other better

EMILO2STAY: is not a matter of fact cuz u cant prove it.

So lemme get this straight...evolution is a lie because I can't prove it?
Anything a man can't prove is a registered lie?
