Alfa Seltzer: that's old testament tinz. we are in a new era of salvation thru the murder of jesus.

new era indeed. But u still pay tithe

Wulfruna: At the beginning, there was no Yoruba too. Only Oyo was Yoruba.

Ekiti was Ekiti, and Ondo was Ondo. Even today sef some Ijebus dat I know are not even buying into the 'Yoruba' thing. Hehehe

Yoruba was not Yoruba but a lot of them were under oyo control, ondo, egba, Ekiti, etc. even dahomey was under oyo. So the whole of current Yoruba have always been influenced by oyo

Segeggs: Pls tell ur nollywood actors/actresses to bear their original names just like their yoruba counterparts do. Tell :-

ramsey noah.

Rita dominic

genevieve

stephanie

stella damascus

etc

Ramsey Noah- full name: Ramsey Noah Tokunbo makes me think he's Yoruba

Rgp92: From the sky on serious note, he was just a myth.

then so is Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Elijah and Jesus

I didn't even know about this and am yoruba. Shame on me

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]Yes exactly. So Its a bit confusing. More research needs to be done.[/quote]Indeed more research is needed like when in all this creation were humans created?

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]Dont take my word on it. I'm not sure exactly. it seems Lord Zeus was later supplanted as a form of Supreme God later on. Though Zeus was not a Primordial deity, Zeus did give origin to other forces.

Its very complex. Zeus might also be a Gods similar to the Indo-Persian Indra.[/quote]In my knowledge of greek mythology; Gaia(represents earth) was the first being and from her Uranus(sky) was formed; the two are the only creator beings I know in greek mythology as their energies created the titans, and the titans give birth to the 1st generation of greek gods like zeus,hades,poseidon etc. the only thing zeus created was lightening and fathered many other gods

If the reason why humans die is because we are children of one man that sinned. Why do other animals die then? Abi Adam is the father of dogs,cats, goats etc.

Am tired of following this thread. Am out

endy247: funny, insanetamie calling insane woman mad.

see people saying "love", if its africa they would be screaming "devil!" "ritualist" and so on.

Chris Nnaz: Our culture,our culture that cud not give us electricity,education,technology etc. the only thing our culture gave us are gender inequality, poverty, selfisheness.Look at Africa, what do you see?people still hanging on culture and moving backwards.let us drop those cultural practices so that Africa can move forward.

am sure they have banished u from ur village or u have just become a senseless, brainwashed fool...instead of u to say something about developing, and giving more insights and world recognition to ur indigenous ethnic group u are talking about dropping our culture. u can go and live in Europe or some "moving forward" region and denouce ur heritage if u wish.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]amor4ce are you trying to give me a lessson about my own religion i have spent my entire life studying Paganism. all Pagan religions have an underlying similar concept. for example, they have a God of Creation (The Supreme Divinity/Force) A God of Destructive Forces, A God of Fertility and life-forms, etc. .

Olodumare and Zeus might have different names and diffferent backgrounds, but they represent the same Spiritual Force. Both are Supreme Gods and Forces of Creation.

and the Khazars never invaded Africa.

Nimrod and Cush are mythis and probably never existed. The Philistines are not from Egypt (i think its time you people stop connecting everything with Egypt, like thats the only civilisation on Earth). THe Phillistines are from the are areound Turkey, namely the Aegean Region. They are Indo-Europeans.[/quote]wait a minute! zeus a force of creation? as in he was a creator god in greek myth?

odumchi: Personally, I don't believe in any of these Egyptian/Ethiopian/Hebrew ancestry theories. Nok seems more probable.

yes the nok is more probable because their culture has great similarities with present ile-ife, but have u thought maybe the nok people migrated from ile-ife. and if thats the case its best to say yoruba expanded from ile-ife, up till the nok areas(present Abuja, plateau, and kaduna territories) before being pushed southwards by always violent islamic missionaries.

MostHigh:

Was only being sarcastic.

anyhow, the argument of this thread is based on Jewish Myth, find out what other mythologies have to say
