Sweettos: yoruba!!! The only tribe that do fought tiger

In ur ridiculous bid to ridicule the Yoruba you make such a blundering statement

tuffgongjo: Proud to be a yoruba$ekiti guy,@fulaman God bless u up$down.

Omo iyami...where in Ekiti?

Guykhena: erm
All Animes

Na wa o,all Naruto,dragon balls,bleach peeps,
Pls have pity on my mentions,,,,,

Lol I know u only joking...anime are the best.
Naruto for one is a Great piece, I miss watching d show
it's still on tho, after all these years

Tough times are only normal, like sickness, death even war and violence

The world works that way but look at the bright side, The universe works with balance.

As long as you got will and a good purpose, you are good to go

rationalmind: Isn't this law that governs the universe supposed to be orderly?

If it is, how can luck work with that law since luck by definition is random?

Here's my thought...
The conscious state of the universe isn't "intelligent" like the human brain, it may not plan or make thorough thoughts but it forces things to happen within itself.
Nothing happens outside this "law" because everything is a piece in the whole that makes up the law
Little pieces coming together on their own to fit your purpose would be luck

hunter21: i didnt say orisha are aliens, i said aliens are orishas, since they also have conciousness.

yes humanity is a manifestation of irunmoles who are orishas on the universal level and so would be any other race of concious beings.

No, it means humans are orishas too.

the energy possessed by the wind and the metal makes them orishas.

Ok. I agree with u

qstar: @rationalmind, The opposite question to your number 1 question would be:

®The endless loop of Karma. Karma preaches "Justice", but this "justice" must be incomplete.
e.g. If Elijah beheaded 400 humans(prophets of Baal), he'd have to reincarnate to get beheaded in order to pay for his atrocities. Whoever kills him, then needs another person to kill him too and so goes the balderdash.

Who's gonna kill the last person? why? and who's gonna kill him(the killer)?

Lol with this kind of talk you would soon say the judge that sentenced a criminal to death would be also be killed for that action

qstar: Karma is a religious attempt to explain the randomness of events in this Universe.

The thing is, good and bad things happen to everybody. No god/law needed, just plain "luck".

Karma doesn't strike me as "religious"
It's rather cultural - although this would revolve around all things that make up that civilization: spirituality, tradition, language etc.

There's always a law governing every aspect of the universe...even "luck" works with laws

MadCow1: Its societies role to protect the child that's why you can't abuse a child and say 'it's none of societies business'.

Ok..while you are all for protecting rights of children and against doing things against their consent

You should also advocate against
1. taking children to church without their consent
2. Enrolling them in school without their consent
3. Feeding them any kind of food without their consent
4. Dressing them up without their consent
5. Making their hair without their consent
6. Circumcision without their consent

When you start advocating for these, maybe people would take your "infant protection" business seriously otherwise you nothing but a discriminate hypocrite

soulglo: And you're unbelievably stubborn. Maybe Nigerians should carry on killing babies simply because they are twins. Preserve culture by black ass.

And in ur stupid brain out of the useless and fraudulent western education you received you made this ridiculous statement.

When has "Nigeria" ever been a common cultural identity??
Calabar people killed twins it has now turned to the entire Nigeria

hunter21: i once wrote that:

what i forgot to add is that there are also alien/extrateresstial manifestation of orishas, some are benevolent and some are rather malivolent in their relationship with the human race. unfortunately, some malivolent ones are being wrongly worshipped in some religiions as GOD. and they feed off the negative emotions such as fear and depression of members of those religions.

And this.means Orisha are aliens?

first of all humanity itself is a manifestation of the orisha, does that mean orisha are human too?
Rocks, rivers, metals, even air are manifestation of orisha...it.means orisha is the wind or the next metal object to u?

Dude jst stop ur crazy talk

frosbel: And your God condones this massacre of women and children ?

Of course the Bible God had always been a fan of Israel
Maybe you should read your Bible properly and see where ur God instructed Israel to go kill and rape women and children of other nations...he certainly commanded what Israel is doing today as well

Weselion: There must be a reason behind Israel attacking. Israel Is one peaceful country but if you find their trouble.....its disastrous

Israel has never been peaceful...Hitler should have killed all Jews

MadCow1: [b]You can't blame society for this..

A child who has no clue whatsoever is branded even before he or she can make a decision and grows up to find these marks indelible and you want to blame society? Society played no part in the markings whatsoever.

It's because society is now better educated and wiser than those who started this practice that we advocate that it be stopped. Just because a practice is traditional on nature does not make it acceptable else we may have as well allowed the killing of twins to continue.

Like tattoos, it should be an informed decision for the wearer to make not to be forced on a child.

And if you must continue this practice, then keep that child within that smaller society that accepts this practice and not how're that child into he larger society and expect the larger society to change to such a backwards and outdated practice. Seal the musician comes to mind. Look at how much damage this facial scarification did to him. Even with advances in modern medicine, the damage has not been fixed.

Also, let's not ignore the crudeness of the practice. The unsanitary conditions under which it is done. Just cos we don't keep records, I'm am sure the number of kids that have died from infections brought about by this practice would be staggering.

Finally, the most important individual is the wearer and if their consent was never factored into the decision making process for such a permanent facial alteration, that carries to real health benefits, then it should be banned.[/b]

I thought I said let's leave it it's at dat precise moment you type this long shiit. how is the marking on ur neighbors face affecting you You won't mind you business and stick to your life

ifeness: your opinion

Jst shut up and read a book at least.

FOLYKAZE: The bold has hitted the discussion to rock.


My question is not making sense yet you are asking me to question Ifa priest. Funny though.

You have concluded your points might not be fact. Good.

Oduduwa did not come from the sky (in the literal sense). The same way Ogiso in bini do not come from the sky. This is just allegorical tag attached to a person or element.

The same way Yemoja is not a woman that ran from heaven and fell down on earth which prompted opening of her belly where Olokun, and other Orisha were birthed. Yemoja in that account is the personification of Icy comet that bombarded earth which is the source of water here on earth. This is scientifical fact.

When they tell you that Ogun moulded bone, you shouldnt be thinking of a nigga with pot bellies playing with sand. In the real sense, they are reffering to Calcium. Meaning Ogun is calcium personified. It is fact that calcium is a metalic chemical element, it is also fact that calcium builds bone. Anything metalic is Ogun.

Osun is not a b!tch like you wanna see it. She is moisture in cosmological essense.

Sango like you have been hearing breathes fire. He is the brave maker of good sight and brilliance. Sango in this sense is electrical impulse or energy when relayed withlightning.

Sango also represent fire which Osun water always appeal to while Oya the wind cause him to fight in battle.

Theses are just natural element personified . They are not some extra terrestial beings you are thinking of.

Folykaze my brother.. You get time.
Aren't these ones lost course with holes at d back of their heads??

This is wat happens when u fail to seek knowledge about your ancestors and their ways.

Orisha are aliens wetin I no go see

ifeness: Your question doesn't make sense. You should rather ask the Ifa priest those questions not me. I stated clear that what i said are my opinions,may neccessarily not be facts.

Oduduwa may have landed with a space ship just as the Vadas,Sumerian tablets,Dead sea scrolls had claimed beings from outer space did. I am only talking about probabilities. If you cannot check the links i gave or make research for yourself,then do not ask me any furthrer questions because you are not that open minded.

Besides I do not defend any gods or orisha..... I do not consider anyone superior

ifeness: Look up "Charriot of the Gods" on Youtube or if you can buy the book,all good.

You can read about them in the dead sea scrolls,Vedas,African traditional religions speak about Chukwu,Kwembali, Oduduwa coming from the sky and pocessing extra-ordinary powers. Obatala,shongo,Oya,Yemja are examples too. The dogans also spoke gods/Ets visiting them from the sky and telling them about their home planet.

What i say are my strong opinions,they may not be true. I am obviously limited to these information as far as i am still in human form.

Lol this one has been seeing too much star wars and sci-fi flicks

texanomaly: And while you and the other war mongering brotherhood are fighting each other, some other country will step in and take over. Then you can all hate each other under a new regime.

lol some other country kwa?? like Europeans again?
or USA??
pls educate us on "other countries taking over"

MadCow1: Societies dysfunctionality or not, it's still a big problem for the child both psychologically and more. Imagine you growing up to meet some giant lines running through your face?

I will only support tribal markings if the person wearing them got them as an adult

There are millions of people with markings that tell different stories and represent different identities...if the dysfunctional society of today can't be "educated" enough to learn their worth to those who care about their markings then you all have a problem not the person with the marks
Ok let's leave it here...am done

ifeness: One thing is for sure, God/Gods are not from our planet. They were noticed and probably seen by our ancestors. That meant they were flesh and blood like us. I can imagine how they came to our planet since they weren't spirits like our pastors claimed. Although some of them cannot be seen with our physical eyes,but they sure evolved to that stage.

goldfish80: The ancient Egyptian pyramids were not built by humans. The craft and precision of the structure couldn't have been achieved by prehistoric implements/tools available at the time. Scientists believe advanced tools like Lazer powered equipments were used in building the pyramids. And to think electricity which would have been used to power such equipments was discovered a few decades ago would suggest extraterrestrials helped build those pyramids.

Anyone who thinks stones and sticks as believed in conventional knowledge were used by the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids is mad.

The church in Lalibela, Ethiopia is another example of extraterrestrials helping humans build great monuments. The locals in lalibela tell anyone who cares to listen that gods from the sky came at night to work on the site.
I could go on with various other examples..........

hmm. delusional or maybe drunk fellows

mcfarlin: thank God that u realized that early enough

dont thank me

THANK GOD.

Your mother is a slut, ur stupid idiotic pedo father is a rapist and wat can we expect from you?
Thank God?? ur God sent u to come here acting as a criminal like ur useless Father?

I still don't get why humans are afraid of war...every great change like the changing of the ridiculous state Europeans left Africa would surely need blood to cleans.
Many won't get it, but an opened eyes would see Nigeria isn't working, it never has and would never work.
A total disintegration is the only path to any better future

Whether Igbo, Hausa, fulani, Efik or ijaw want war against the Yoruba, they would get it. We certainly aren't the trouble markers

emperortony: Next time don't quote me, am not even sure if you are human!!! Any reasonable human would have made his/her point without quoting me. Abi I resemble your papa Or you just want to be noticed. And As to my initial statement If you are a human and can read correctly I said some of our culture and traditions need to be outgrown. Maybe you probably have some of those horrible marks on your face, and you think everybody must look like an animal such as your self. And please prove to me that you are a human by not quoting me again, because am too busy to reply an animal. I pray you are human though.

Look at this totally crazy one

MadCow1: Self esteem issues come to mind. You don't want a kid growing up with a scarified face and feeling like an outcast or hating his or her own face because it's been deformed with marks.

All boils down to the dysfunctional society that sees everything native as primitive or demonic.
Not the person with the marks

mcfarlin: Now u are talking.

You are a demented bastrd, never modify my comments like that again.

hayoakins: Jesus FORBID

Lol but Jesus couldn't forbid his own circumcision.

sarutobie: I will tell you who, EDUCATION...education enlightens us.

Education from who? Europe?

emperortony: Where are those group of people that comes up to say we must preserve our culture. thank God my tribe does not require markings so I support team preserve our culture today. Truth be told some of our culture and traditions are obsolete and insane, and should be outgrown. This is more like an abuse to the child, and not to mention the fact that it makes them look comical.

It is ur mentality which has been washed to view African culture as comical.

It is infact ur mentality that is comical

somcherry: Disgusting
i can't even imagine this useless tribal marks on my beautiful face
And some pple call it culture. SMH, Culture my foot

i cherish pples culture and heritage bt definitely not this kind of barbaric act
it shld be abolished asap

Whether u beautiful or not nobody asked u..mumu

You should also not circumcise ur offspring

MadCow1: Do you want to know why I disagree win you? Our culture and heritage is indeed worth preserving but there are those aspects of it that were done in ignorance and based on the exposure afforded to them at that time that we must do away with today because we are wiser and more exposed.

Some historical accounts have blamed the tribal marking of children on a spiritual phenomenon called Ogbanje and Abikun. Now as much as there isn't much science to disprove the existence or not of these spiritual beings, we know that facially mutilating a child's face may come back to [b]affect that child in the future.[/b]

Wat effects??

jonaji: ........it should be abolished ASAP and the government should pass a legislation on tribal markings ....
It has been happening for centuries and it's accepted. But there are those who believe that when it's done on a child who has no say in the matter, its a clear case of child abuse. They've tried to kick against it ...with of course...no luck! What do you think of tribal marks on children? Let's discuss!

angela98: This is child abuse pure and simple.

Khalessi: I don't see the need for it now, in the old days it was justifiable but now not so much.its child abuse and should carry either a sentence or fine.

ruthy43: It should 2 abolished,i cant imagne d pains dat child ll b going tru. :

banega: Total madness •

Zizicardo: God forbid.

Warlord3000: Thunder fire anybody yansh wey go even touch my kids..

Not to talk of putting a mark on his or her face..

Baba God go get visitor that day walahi

While you all are at it. Pls advocate for the abolishing of Christian and Islamic circumcision. It's child abuse and you don't know if the child would prefer his foreskin.
The pain the child would go through is much too gruesome
