Hmm...This is suspicious is this a hacked account?

Mudley313: Mr. man just stop...the U.S just made it out of a group that had Germany, Portugal and Ghana

...and you do realize American football is called that because the ball is a foot long and not because it's played with your feet or hands

And who is Portugal or Ghana?? Especially after CR7's injury. keep deceiving urself with such rubbish claims of group of death

Germany is the only team worth a world cup scare in that group so it was a pretty much open group.

And why do they call it soccer when the whole world calls it football? Played with the foot

USA sucks at football, it's dat simple

Ogun truly has a lot of interpretations especially without adequate Yoruba keypads.

But depending on ur sentence one can understand wat u mean

A racist and a damned liar and hypocrite, not to mention his lack of education and intelligence

Pagan 9ja has even complained about him nd requested for his ban severally

Why are you all giving that mumu American maggot attention?

It's clear the hate on football( na football, played wit the foot...I no know wey dem see soccer) is because they suck at it.

Jealousy go kill them.

Onlinebizexpert: they still do rituals abroad

after they would say africans are monkeys and underdeveloped

and btw which kain god still dey use blood when ATM card don dey



these whites are hippocrites


am not surprised even the biggest organization ILLUMINATI does ritual sacrifice..........dont ask me how i knew just research about them

Lmao...these British are the most disgusting people I know, they would attack you over the same thing they do in an even worse way.

Was it not how they came insulting our African civilizations of being barbaric and underdeveloped

Mumu white maggots, but the worst are the Africans ones following them and their religion

You ever looked at the French team and notice they are more African descents than European??

Remember Zidane is even Berber from Algeria, and I suspect Benzema too

Lol KSV you just have to love that sharp king

Lol, satan the undisputed champion of the universe ....Bible universe that is

Sarassin: Jesus said he came for the "sinners", there was and still is a reason for this.

In Jewish tradition a sinner was anyone who did not observe Mosaic Law, the term "sinner" was never a blanket for all manner of transgressions currently alluded to as sin. Jesus with his well known disdain for the Pharisees made this clear. For instance the disciple Matthew, a tax collector for the Romans would have been considered a "sinner" under Jewish Law. Under Jewish law a gentile had (and still has) no rights, a Jew could not be held accountable for the death of a gentile, but a gentile would face. Instant death by stoning if he killed a Jew.

The term "sin" is highly subjective today and depends largely on present day civil and moral codes. What is sin today could have been considered perfectly acceptable behaviour two hundred years ago, i.e slavery.

Jesus left no laws, therefore in my view where there's no law.....there's no sin. But then again, i am no Christian.

good statement but then where do these Christians get their sin from when they have no tribal identity??

This is probably what most pastors do behind the scene .

Radoillo II: Racial classification is always a problematic issue. Till date, anthropologists do not agree on how many races are in the world. Some even think the concept of race is meaningless, and should be dropped alltogether.

There are many blurred areas on the margins.

All darkskinned subsaharan Africans fall under what I'll call 'black'. And that includes the yellowish Bushmen and Hottentots of Southern Africa, who are believed by some people to form a distinct race.

Question: if u think the narrow features and not-so-tightly-curled hair of Horn Africans make them non-black, what do you think of some Northern Nigerian people with similar features? Are they non-blacks as well?

by this you probably mean Fulani people. I don't know much about fula, fulaman would answer better

NativeBoy: You're making a completely different argument. No one is saying Christians invented Mathematics or Science. Even before Rome, Egyptians and Babylonians have been doing mathematics and science. That is not the point being discussed here. In fact you are proving the point I stated earlier. Did religious belief stop the Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, or Roman civilizations from progressing economically or scientifically? No it didn't. So therefore, we Africans have to look at ourselves as the source of why we are not progressing.

And what happened to these civilizations immediately they accepted foreign religion and Foreign Ideology of 'the right way to live'?

NativeBoy: If we could write, where are our texts? More importantly, why then is the writing of our language romanized? Meaning, we use the same alphabets that originated from Rome.

Also, if you are talking about our ancestors having knowledge of spiritual things, knowledge of herbs and medicines, etc. That is true. But if you are talking about institutions of formal education/formal training (except those of artisans), then you are mistaken.

It is interesting that you mention Rome and its influence on Britain. I think you will find that much as been written about the effects of Christianity on Rome and its subsequent effects in civilizing the barbarian races (i.e. Britain, the scandinavian nations, etc). I don't want to derail this thread so I won't go on. It's information that is readily available.

You can't get rid of the gospel but even if you could, it wouldn't solve Africa's problems.

The first records of Yoruba having the need to write was by the influence of Arabs who were big trade partners in the 15th century. In fact the Portuguese got to know about West Africa through the Arabs.

You should also know now that the Latiums never actually had alphabets except using the Greek, The Romans developed the alphabets from Egypt- African

What is formal education? Education is Education. even if taught by your father or uncle in your clan quarters

Barbarian races you say? Barbarians who had superb architecture, strong weapons and well developed life style at least for the Scandinavians

A Teenager of 18years by name- Ikechukwu Friday has been detained for strangling a 12 year old girl in Badagry, Lagos state.

The suspect says he was compelled by his pastor whom he begged for Money to obtain faeces from a young girl and bring to him with the promise of N100,000 as reward if he completed the task.

morpheus24: False anthropological terminology.

Hamitic is a pseudo-nomencleture used by the "old world" using biblical references by non Africans in recognition of the first black people they encountered in mostly the coastal parts of Africa.

Ok but You can't classify people like the Somali as Negroid.
Wat then is the technical classification?

ghostofsparta: Shame on all you all.
You are all so inferior to be analysing and concluding that these Yoruba deities 'Odudua' etc come from Nubia, Mecca, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Babylonia etc. Names of places unknown to Ifa-the ultimate authority of Yoruba origin'. When in fact it's the other way round. Ifa states in some verses that all human being originates from Otu-Ife.

lol chill ghost we need to examine every possible assertion tho many people have been so dumb in this issue. And Nothing can tell Yoruba history and the history of this region than Ifa.

I never resolve on a conclusion until I've examined all accounts

ladionline: This is beautiful, as for me, Ijaw are of the old Yoruba league.

Every civilization from The Ewe people of Cote d'ivoire to Igbos and Efik are of the Yoruba league. Tho I prefer to use the word 'Oodua'

The problem is that so many of us don't care about our history.

[quote author=NativeBoy][/quote]Schools?? You think my ancestors didn't go to Traditional schools? You think my ancestors didn't know how to count to 1thousand? You think my ancestors didn't learn biology and pharmacy the traditional way? You think my ancestors couldn't write until Christians came? You think my ancestors didn't know anything before missionaries came in?

For your information, All the things you mentioned are benefits of being colonized by a better organized nation- The British were nothing before they gained experience from Rome.
Sadly As benefits come so do demerits and Christianity is one of those demerits which we must cut off

Joshthefirst: you are ignorant of scripture and its interpretation.

Yh your usual excuss. Only you or people who agree wit u know a scriptures.
Mtcheew. Cheap shiit excuse

Dhurmynick: My oogun meant charm.

Ye of no faith.




Numbskull

You d real numbskull
There's no 'oogun' in Yoruba

Wat is sin?
Sin is transgression against the laws
Wat are the laws?
The laws of your traditions- in fact the laws are your traditions, your tribal traditions


You ever wonder why the so called mosaic laws are traditional guidelines to the Jews? It's their tradition nothing more nothing less
For a non-jew to apply those laws in his life, that person must be a Foolish slave

Go to your village and learn your laws so you can be saved from sin, Not some stupid Bible laws that your ancestors never knew about

Christianity: The best way to control the minds of many

Africa is surely doomed if The enlightened don't do something against this evil religion

MEILYN: Hmmmmmmmm. We have History backings. Anyway, na you sabi.

Where are the records? Show me an article written from the speech of any igala monarch claiming Israel

yousuf12: If you are the black people then what are we?
Back in the day you either ruled or you were ruled. Even other Africans owned and sold slaves, so what makes Horn Africans a special case?



It is the other way around, we influenced them in every way except for the language. Even the Horn African/Berberi DNA - E1b1b is found in many Arabs including the Hashemites-Quraish who are the family of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh.




It is not about wanting to be black. No one can deny what they are.

Technically Somalis aren't 'black'. The Negroid race are the Western and central Africans stretching to the South

Your people are best placed as Hamitic

Divepen: Science has been dissaproved in the following.
1. Giving of life to all the dead in the grave.
They have never and will never will but
People still raise people in the name of Jesus.

Rubbish! A dead man is dead and gone
He can only rise if he was never really dead.

2.Giving of life.
They have tried but can never give life to inanimate objects.
God gave life to soil in Genesis.

Has Jesus ever given life to a stone WTF is this mehn! Is Jesus ur god?
Truly you are All man worshipers

3.Scientist discover that a day proved that a day is missing in the world and that was recorded in the book of Joshua,where he told the sun to stand still.
What do you think of My God.

is Joshua Jesus And wait o have you not heard that the Sun is always STILL

4.Scientist can never give you child;Disregard articificial insemmination the babies were created from an already created and Natural personalties.
Jesus can give you a baby

Jesus would provide his sperm abi?

5.Science can never stop Natural disaster: Earthquakes,Flooding Eclipse can only be predicted but can never be stopped.
God can do more than that.

Yh God can, The God of the earth element can cause earthquakes, the God of the Sun and God of the moon can cause an eclipse But NoT Jesus

6.Science can never give you the ability to make wealth.
God created your thought on how to make wealth Deutenoromy 8:18
Says and you shall remember your God that have given you the power to make wealth.

God gave you brain and Nothing more.

yh God gave the brain but not Jesus.
And satan had no finish God's work by making man intelligent enough to make wealth- wealth is from the devil mehn!

7. Science can Never heal:
Let us be fatual scientist can never make a lame man walk,a blind boy see, deaf man hear e.t.c

I guess you know nothing about science if you think it hasn't helped the lame

8.Scientist have not found the cure for Hiv/Aids.
Jesus has healed many people

Jesus didn't even know wat was HIV, he was probably the first Person to have it from his mother's outside marriage sex

9.Science can never finish/complete the theory of Evolution;because it is not real...
The Bible serve as a source of the story of creation.
Read Genesis 1.

the same Genesis 1 doesn't agree with Genesis 2

10.Science can never prove spiritual things.
Can science prove a man's dosappearance.
Science can never prove near death experience.
Science can not prove forces beyond their reach that's why you need to come to God

neither can religion, only pure spirituality can.

please Atheist and all do not be deceived by the devil that Jesus was not real,every body knew the story of Titus and Jerusalem...
Catacombs are real that shows that The disciples were truly percecuted by Nero.

Jesus is calling you come to him
Come brother come sisters.
Have you sorrow unending ,have you sickness that people thing can never be healed come and try Jesus

I rather visit a Babalawo who is alive than a dead Jew

ladionline: The Eastern Origin

This Eastern curve is exactly what RandomAA was trying to do somewhere in his "east west south north" thread. The East was product of Samuel Johnson's assertion that Mecca is the East and the East is Mecca in the History of The Yorubas. Johnson emphasis East, not because he was aware of possible Benin curve, but to make some noise as to Mecca being the place in the East and not Jew or Egypt or Mesopotamia.

Truth be told Samuel Johnson was not a true historian, He just kept spreading rubbish information.

It's impossible for His assertions to be accurate
1. Nimrod Was Mesopotamian and not Arab
2. Nimrod lived Thousands of years into the BC period.

So it's impossible for Nimrod to be Oduduwa's father

Another thing is Samuel Johnson had bias in favor of his home town- Oyo

However, all the people are one big mix. But the joker is not always who come from who. Why not claim Igbo or Hausa for Benin? No 'lexical bridge' exist in classic times to burrow the link, such as you have it in Oba between Yoruba and Edo. The Igbos have Obi, had it been its Oba, they would be more involve in the equation now.

The Yoruba have Obi, it is not developed, just as the Igbo has not developed her version to tangible institution till recent time. The saying Ijesha Oshere, Onile Obi is not just a fancy talk, its talking about Onile (land owning) Obi (matriarch). this is patrilineal Africanus, so matrilineal is not going to survive. But thats where we may have started before the "Princedom" stole it from the "Queendom"

The Yoruba/Benin "Oba" competition?


So, the term Oba is the problem. Without it, Yoruba historians wont border include Benin in their historiography, I guess. Who has the lexicon? Is it Benin that was calling her kings Oba before the Yoruba or they switch from Ogiso to Oba at some point? What has the Yoruba being calling their king? Oduduwa? Ogiso? What?

'Oba' is a Yoruba word that first came to Edo through Oranmiyan's sojourn in the land.

The first Oba of bini is Oranmiyan's son, so it's not just the word 'oba' but another who knows the history of ile-Oodua would know the link between Bini and various Yoruba Towns.[/quote]

I can't even remember who the writer is and I never saved the page.

One thing I remember is dat the 'ogiso' is an ijaw name as well as the name 'igodo'.

some geologist have described This region- that is South South Nigeria as a very old habitation dating several Years on BC(the figures I can't remember).

Two set of inhabitants is known
1. Ancient People from the sky known as Oru (possibly a variant of Horus- Egyptian God of the sky)
2. migrants from The North who settled in Ile-Ife and claimed descent from Oduduwa and Osara- must be Okanbi's followers or unrecorded children

The ijo seem to know a lot about Oduduwa even better than some Yoruba people(that is if their records are accurate)
They know his wife Osara and some claim descent from her.

Oduduwa according to ijo came from Nubia.
That could explain why Oduduwa was very friendly to Ogboroganda who also came from Nubian territories

Cheers01: Sam Harris said that;

a) If a person says that he believes that Elvis Presley is alive and that Elvis is in all of us, the person would immediately get laughed at

b) But if a person says that he believes in talking snakes and talking donkeys in the bible, the person is given a pass.



Only with religion that an African (Nigerian) can claim to be of Isreal or an Isrealite despite have no traceable ancestry there. Did they automatically get isrealite ancestry when the British came with christanity in the 16th century? lol

Very sad indeed.

A man that believes a man who lived 2000yrs ago is still alive somewhere in the sky is given a pass.
It's No wonder Africa is backward when we have such mentality

Pastor Olu T: * U have been talking of God as energy n responsible for creation, now the first question is Since energy Could neither be "created" nor destroyed, from whence comes the first energy since there was nothing in existence?

Energy is self existent and has always existed, it needs nothing to survive. Everything- Every mass is condensed energy. Everything there is- is simply a state of Energy.

Energy transforms and reacts to various factors eg. Time
The first energy formation which produced light is in no doubt a result of this.
You Know the concept of subatomic particles which are positively charged Protons, Neutral Neutrons and Negative Electrons- this are the basic units which trigger existence.
An adequate amount of stable atoms in relation to it's energy level is liable to form a new element.[/quote]* U also supported n believed the big bang theory, so my second question is what caused the big bang theory n how did it lead to the creation of living beings?

I wait in anticipation as u kindly answer these questions.[/quote]If you get to understand the answer above you would realize that Nothing has to cause Energy to perform, It is self existent and Reacts in all (and I can add No) condition over time.

Energy has it's own consciousness which in my opinion surpasses that of any other thing- It Doesn't need an instructor because it instructs itself on default.

ladionline: But where bini con come from?

I read the first ogiso was from ijawland
