Fulaman198: I understand your sentiments, you would want to make sure that others do not have to go through the same thing. Hunting them down and making them pay ten fold is the best.

proevan: So I have to be a gradute to know history ; errmmm don't want to be that kind of graduate. How come other superior yoruba Obas are not addresses as such.
Why call them Oni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo etc You still fail to understand that Oba is a bini word

proevan: We are talking about pigin and the three major Nigerian tribes are laying claim to it advent , but the last time I checked Huasas, Yorubas and the Ibos don't actually speaking pigin in their towns, what you do is just to add some part of your language to English. The real people that speak pigin are those from the south-south especially the former bendel. So we all need to be clear of this

The south-south can boast of 4-generations of pigin speaking people if not even more.

Una doo'

proevan: Akara is a bini word, fro 'Eka' pronounced A-ka where the word akara came from. And 80percent of yoruba came fron Benin, please get your facts. And please use the word origin rightly next time or check your dictionary/google.

shizzle11: i enjoyed your expository comment above, many yorubas keep claiming many Bini pidgin as theirs, forgetting that even the Eko they always shout is a bini slang after the Bini kingdom conquered parts of lagos particularly the island, funny lots

Kaysalas: A beg, what is d origin of:
Chai! Chai!Chai!

proevan: No one tribe can lay claim to Lagos

oboy3: chai-(an exclamation)- igbo

owu-broke,thread - igbo

egwusi -pumpkin seed - igbo

okra-from the igbo word okwuru

obodo oyibo-overseas - igbo

iba-fever- igbo

alexleo: My dear God is a creator. A creator has a concept of what he wants to create at a particular point in time. God created the living things and the non living things. And each of the things he created under this two distinctions have their uniqueness.

In the case of man, his concept was to have a being that will be in his image with higher ability to choose and make decisions etc(than the animals).

Having created that, the next reaonable thing to do for a being you gave such a freewill will is to inform him of the consequences of his choices. And God has always done this from the beginning. He has always warned man on the consequences of his choice right from the garden of Eden.

A little example could be this- A son grows up and ready for marriage, the parents calls him and tells him the consequences of choosing a bad woman for a wife. If the boy goes and choose a bad woman he suffers the consequence. You don't blame the parents again. They played their part as parents. Same way God has been warning us on the consequences of choosing the way that leads to his wrath(which is eternal). You don't blame him for the choice anybody makes. Salvation is too cheap so nobody can say he didn't accept it because of the high cost.

SonOfEl: no thank u. Am for paul because he is for jesus christ.

alexleo: Bro I'm a christian so whatever I'm discussing about God will still not be out of the biblical background. An atheist can discuss God outside the bible and that's for the person. But not to draw me to reason outside the bible with him. He decided to reason outside the bible by choice and I decided to reason within the bible and that's by choice too.

Having said that, let me answer you about lucifer. He committed sin by wanting to overthrow God. Its an act of pride, greed and treason. God's wrath was pulled out by such a negative act and he cursed lucifer. The curse further placed him on the part of evil and creating evil.

This boils down to what I said that wrath produces evil while mercy produces good.

chrisviral: Let me use me as an example.
My Father loves me so much, he is ready to give his life for me, he can't even stand another flog me, he wants the best for me, he gives me everything within his power, yet this same very Father of mine flogs me like a criminal when I air wrongly, WHY?
That is Who he is... he can't stand me misbehaving.

Saying God should abolish hell is like saying My father should unbeat me after beating me.
Can't happen!

chrisviral: Hehehehe you na mad man o yoruba huh?
If my post did appear that God is distant to certain things, lol sorry, u know say english no be my language.

Rossikk: You clearly know nothing about African history and the migrations of Africans into the middle east and beyond in antiquity, to form various nations and communities.



More ignorant nonsense. Many ethnic groups in Africa number less than ONE million.



What sort of silly question is this? If 'we' are 'Jews', then it means the Jewish population is much larger than thought. It 's got nothing to do with the population of the current settlers of Israel.



More like ''how can they be Jews when they don't act like us''? See, your problem is you see the current settlers of Israel as the ''authentic'' Jews, because you already have it drummed in your head that the ''real'' Jews must be white and live in the mideast, due to all those pictures of white Abraham and Moses you saw as a kid. You need to think outside the box. The argument is not that ancient blacks were all Jews. But rather that the ancient Jews were blacks, ie that that small tribe of people known as Jews in the ancient middle east were an African people. There's a huge difference between the two positions.




You talk talk talk, yet you know nothing. There are numerous customs of Africa easily seen in Jewish practises, from circumcision to age grades, and from libation to republicanism. You need to study these things in depth before making your loud declarations.


It is YOU engaging in Jewish worshipping, by desperately trying to keep them ''white''. We are merely discussing history.

itstpia1: you are very confused.

not sure you know the meaning of idol since Jesus is not an inanimate object.

chrisviral: From what angle are you arguing from, I don't get use, present your assertion in an understandable way, then I can counter you.

When I said God is everything (even creation, nature) whatever you call "is" all part of it.
EVERYTHING

Fulaman198: You got to put yourself in her shoes man. I think your judgment of her is harsh. Whilst I don't believe in suicide either, what would you do if a bunch of wackos did that to you? It happens in American prisons.

thorpido: Even if you were not a Christian,common sense should tell you that religion does not follow logical lines especially one that is faith-based as christianity.
Dogs are not dumb creatures.There are some that have been shown to take care of disabled people.

You can see you are the one showing yourself as dumb,lacking intelligence.
You are as dumb as a doorknob.

OLAADEGBU: Belief in the Olodumare concept of Ifa makes you a worshiper of traditional religion.

Rilwayne001: Are you not once a christian

Empiree: You do not have knowledge of this. This is beyond you, sir.

onitshaigbo: Ignoramus! Ethiopian Jews were saved from persecution and famine by Israel, who transported them free of charge from the abject misery of the Horn of Africa to a first-world modern country Israel, giving them shelter, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities without asking for anything in return. There was never a more compassionate response by a first-world people to a third-world people than the people of Israel to their Jewish brethren in Ethiopia.

We Igbos too will become blessed beyond our wildest dreams when we proudly display our Jewish identity and live as Jews according to the laws of the Bible.

alexleo: I am looking at God from what the bible said about him. God is the creator of the whole universe. Definitely he is the one that can define creation best. If i create something, then nobody can define it better than me. Also its me that will name what i created and whatever i call it is what it will be called.

alexleo: The origin of sin is from lucifer. First, a desire to take the place of God(which is pride) then it developed into rebellion, then the curse from God which pushed him further into evil. I think we can say that it is God that defined evil.(I mean its what he called evil that is evil). Also the tree of knowledge of good and evil was also created by him according to Genesis 2:9. Somehow you made some sense in your opinion about God and @Chrisviral that said that God is everything before creation also made sense.

alexleo: They are all connected bro.
Mercy produces good while wrath produces evil.

chrisviral: I said God is everything before creation, he wasn't particularly good or evil, he was everything.

God didn't make us with desires for good, Nah, he made us just like him, with free will to choose either to do evil or good, but he did say he will show preference to good.
It's simple
I am God and I am everything, you are my sons and I want you all to do good and get a reward, do evil and I purnish you. Simple.

tpia1: thats a question best answered by you.

Rilwayne001: Even greater that yahweh a.k.a jehova
