You think all the blood spill by fulani na ordinary eye? They are doing so to gain material power...dominance! The blood is a sacrifice. How is the blood spillage by fulani different from the blood spillage by ritualists? Its the same, no difference.

Do you think fulaman or garkosussay will decline a position of power attained through slaughters and atrocities commited by herdsmen?

If herdsmen sack Benue people and start to ask their people to come and settle in Benue, you think garko and fulaman would turn down that prized posession because it was acquired on the blood of middlebeltans?

Garko & fulaman, speak true....if herdsmen sack Yoruba in bloodshed and give you posession of Yorubaland will you turn down an offer of waterfront on the lagoon or on the beachfront of Lekki?

Bloody terrorists, no difference between the herdsmen and non-herdsmen. Ango is not a herdsman, Sanusi is not a herdsman, Sultan is not a herdsman, Elrufai is not a herdsman....but each of them have spoken in clear terms and their sentiments remain steadfastly in support of and even taking ownership of what herdsmen are doing. Garko and fulaman are scholars like Ango, Sanusi.....dont be deceived by their scholarship.


You creep, you Yoruba f00l that call yourself macof, you come here to beat down your Yoruba brother to defend terrorist fulani. You speak bad to me to kiss your slave master @$$ and lay yourself at his feet to step on. May Oduduwa strike you!

Do you forget what Aare Gani Adams said? He said we shall strike down the enemies within. Certain Yorubas, like macof, must first be cut off before we face the enemy.


Dont make me cut you off right now bwoi!

No, capitalism is not confined into sacred or any set of divinity, it is simply a social system...

The motive of individual in religion is to attract this cultural system and practices as way of life
The motive of individual or sate in capitalism is to attract profit..... therefore there is gap in your assertion....

i myself do not feel comfortable subscribing to the idea that ATR IS RELIGION but after given in second thought, i just need to agree...

before i go further, why do you think isese is not a religion, maybe we can start from there? and how will you define religion in Yoruba context?

vaxx:
if religion can be defined as a cultural system of a designated behavior and practices. then isese is a religion, i agree it is not an organized religion like Christianity and Islam that is confined into a set of conduct through writing texts.... i will call isese unstructured religion.

majority of the scholars agree isese is monotheism....

FeelDeMusic:
Vaxx/Folykaze, what about the concept of irunmole? Aren't they spiritual beings that were never human? I read in the book that Orisa like Orunmila, Osun, Sango, Esu.... it said they were all irunmole.

vaxx:
To those who may want to know the reasons yoruba ATR IS MONOTHESTIC instead of deism, this is my reply.....

FeelDeMusic:
Elaborate more on these "unseen beings" please Macof! Are they equivalent to fairies/elves/gnomes in British/European folklore?

vaxx:
According to Yoruba cultural myth, we also believe they are some unseen natural element that dwells in the tree , rocks and some other mystical dwelling places, they are called EBORA, IWIN, egbere.... there is a myth that if you can collect egbere mat, you will suddenly become rich, this egbere cries without pause. that is just is nature

ImperialYoruba:
They ping and tell me fulani has created mythology blog on internet. I say where, they said on internet. I say where in internet, they say nairaland. So I rush here to see for myself.

This is truly end time for criminals and terrorists to create a origin story and mythology.

Who gives a "f" about the eginning of terrorists, enn?

See the story sef as e get k-leg. Every human story on origin places man next to divinity, but these freaks put cow next to their divinity.

Mttcheew...tuueh! Spits on thread!

Fulaman go ahead and ban me right now.

"Nigeria, after nearly four decades of oil production, had by the early 1980s become almost completely economically dependent on petroleum extraction, which at the time generated 25% of its GDP. This portion has since risen to 60%, as of 2008."

Use Google.

bigfrancis21:
Honestly, I am not surprised by this. I have read something like this before a few years back where it said that the entire land space of the Igbo-speaking people was originally much larger than it's modern-day boundaries. However, as the Yorubas were pushed southwards from their original northern area of habitation, the 'Igbo' people they met were pushed further eastwards. I remember a previous active user on NL mentioning that a yoruba elder had mentioned this to her and that the 'Igbo dialect' originally spoken around 'Ile-Ife' was similar to what Onitsha or Anioma people speak.

Also another thing being ignored is the reason the Olukwumis, while running away from their origins in Ondo state, chose to run eastwards to settle (in Delta Igboland) rather than westwards where fellow Yorubas settled.

SO?

THERE IS NO BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS BIRTH.

SHE WAS CARRYING TWINS, BUT HER EGGS DID NOT DIVIDE PROPERLY ON TIME HENCE THE BABIES ARE CO-JOINED.


OUR STUPID CULTURE AND PEOPLE WILL NOW BE MAKING SACRIFICES TO THE gods WHOM THEY STUPIDLY BELIEVE HAS A HAND IN THIS.

WE SEEM TO VERY EASILY TRUST OUR VERY USELESS gods WHO CAN NOT EVEN MAKE NEPA WORK.

THE WOMAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG.


THE CHILD SHE GAVE BIRTH TO IS NOT A WITCH OR ANYTHING.


WE MUST UNDERSTAND HOW SCIENCE WORKS. UNFORTUNATELY, SCIENCE DID NOT WORK FULLY FOR THE WOMAN.


A GOOD MEDICAL TEAM SHOULD VERY EASILY REMOVE THE UNFORMED BABY AND THE OTHER BABY WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE A VERY HEALTHY LIFE.

gidgiddy:
The Lagos/Ibadan expressway media are just obsessed with Nnamdi Kanu

I dont think they ever met a man of conviction like that. A man who took them to the cleaners and insulted with recklessness

It must have really pained them, ehich is why they still csnt let go of the man

There is another loudmouth in London trying to copy Nnamdi Kanu called Adeyinka Grandson who is making noise all over the internet.

But try as much as he can, he can never be an Nnamdi Kanu.

It takes a lot of guts for a man to leave his comfortable London base and return to a third world country like Nigeria to suffer treason charges, imprisonment, persecution and military attack, all because of his beliefs and convictions.

But Nnamdi Kanu bravely returned.

In my lifetime, I will never see a Yoruba equivalent of Nnamdi Kanu, a man willing to sacrifice everything for the freedom and sovereignty of his people.

An Abuja based woman has revealed how she felt about marrying an illiterate some years ago before meeting her lovely heartthrob. According to her, she fell in love with the man who had no form of degree, income or career prospects but now they are happily married and blessed with two beautiful children.

Read the post shared by Humans of Abuja on behalf of the lady.

If someone had told me 5 years ago that I was going to end up marrying an illiterate, I would have presumed they were mad. But that’s what happened. I was 23 years old, happily single, with a successful career as a banker when I fell in love with a man that didn't have any form of degree, a Man with no income or career prospects.

September that year, I was transferred to Abuja and one Sunday evening, I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for a friend, when a man sat down next to me. "Do you have the time?" he asked, he looked Smart, his clothes were nice, his hair and beard well cut and we started chatting and to my surprise he made me laugh several times with his bad English. I couldn’t help but notice that despite his bad English, he was handsome and tall. After a few minutes my friend arrive and he stood up and before I could say anything further he pointed to my table and said, "tomorrow 7pm, same table" then he walked away.

My friend and I stared at each other, unable to believe what had happened. Had a man who appeared to be an illiterate order me to come back the next day? How could he be so confident? I found myself thinking about him through out that day, there was something about him that was so intriguing that I wanted to meet him again.

Finally, the next day arrived and I was so excited, I could barely think straight at work, it was 7pm and I left to wait for him at the restaurant, I waited and waited, after 20 minutes I was about to give up when he turned up. " I didn’t think you would come, I came to check just in case" he said with a smile. I smiled back and my anger melted away.

During our time together, I realised that he was simply the funniest, happiest and most optimistic person I had ever met. He had a lust for life that was both mesmerising and contagious. I had never met anyone like him before. I encouraged him to go back to school but he refused.

I helped him with his English and helped correct him whenever he spoke an incorrect one. He's currently very good in both spoken and written English and doing very well business wise. We got married 3 years ago and God has blessed us with 2 beautiful kids so far.

First two sentences are right.

The rest of the story = Bullshit.

Did Sango , Ogun, Oronmila etc and the rest of them even live at the same time?

Can hormone replacement therapy reduce or eliminate the natural instinct of these little creatures?

I mean if HRT could practically turn a boy into a girl physiologically, can't it turn a lion into a cat or vice versa?

FluidQueen:
this isn't What Feminism means, my dear.

It's not female favoritism, neither is it gender bias. Feminism is simply equality for both Sexes. Give one gender same Opportunities as the other. Don't praise a gender on accounts Where you discriminate the other gender. Give them equal rights and liberty to do as they please. Let nature determine their strengths. Let them lead. Equality. Feminism. Choice.

Singer, Hadiza Blell, better known by her stage name Di'Ja, has taken to her Instagram to address tribalism in Nigeria after a Twitter user called Hausa 'rubbish'.

According to her, she gets insults on a daily for being Hausa. She shared the above reply and wrote;

"I can understand the anger in the country. I can understand the disappointment most are feeling. I can understand the pain WE ALL feel when you just want things to work, but I cannot understand tribalism and insults in regards to personal life, personal religion and personal choice. Most of us are born into what we now know. THIS ISN’T EVEN AN INSULT compared to the ones I get on the daily based on being Hausa, (you don’t want to see my DMs ) but it serves a purpose for today. I did not destroy our country. WE ALL DID BY ALLOWING IGNORANCE TO PREVAIL. Tomorrow we will insult someone for being Yoruba; the next day on being Igbo; another day on being Idoma and so on. Keep in mind HORRIBLE/BAD POLITICIANS FEED AND THRIVE OFF A DIVIDED PEOPLE. We cannot expect the government to fix problems when we can’t fix US! You want change?! Then it is time you begin to change your mindset. SURPRISE YOURSELVES and come together regardless of your differences. It is the only technique we haven’t tried yet. It is only then can we be the change we are looking for! This is why MUSIC is my life because it surpasses all these man made divisions. Don’t be part of the system. Live above it and watch Nigeria become NIGERIA.
I will forever be proud of who I am, where I am from and what I am on my way to become and YOU SHOULD TOO."

This is the most stupidest comment. The fact is Oyo was built to become the new capital of yorubaland. Political and administrative sit of Yorubaland(Oyo Ile]. An empire was founded to continue to expand ýorubaland. Not all present yoruba kingdoms actually are Oduduwa's descendants. They became part of Yoruba empire after being conquered by Oyo empire, whereas Oyo imposed Oyo culture on all kingdom conquered ( Ajisebi Oyo lanri, Oyo ose bi baba enikan). That is why Yoruba language has different dialect because these people have been speaking different languages before being conquered. It's just like different ethnic group trying to speak english. The accent will be different cuz of their tongue. More than half of yoruba kingdoms are not descendant of Oduduwa, but Oduduwa's son created an empire that conquered and colonized all present yoruba kingdoms. And Alaafin owned this empire. Ile ife is a kingdom, Oyo ile is an empire. Ife was under Oyo empire protectorate just like every other kingdom under Oyo empire. Ile ife might be the origin but Oyo became a capital of a new nation which Ife became part of. Oyo ile is the reason why there is yoruba nation.

jara:
Ok. I agree that we should concentrate on oral history we can back up with science or historiography. Certainly Obatala existed as progeny or origin of man either in one form or another in either Ile-Ife, Sudan or close to Ethiopia according to DNA samples of early man.

Abraham religions created Adam and Eve, Buddhist had Buddha and Hindu as other religions had their own religious beliefs.

Yoruba Ile-Ife is closer to the place of origin of man than all these other religions.

Do you get the point I am trying to make?

jara:
Thanks Macof.



You have to be careful though. If Olorun created Obatala as the forerunner according to Prof. Abimbola and other Yoruba historians, Yoruba existed before Christ in whatever name and we cannot dissociate B.C.

Thanks again.

AreaFada2:
Hehehe.

Tell me the school you went to and the degrees you acquired or your level of exposure to the world. I did not attend any mushroom schools masquerading as university. I wonder how one gets to study in some of the world's best universities (all consistently in top 10, top 20 in World University League tables). You think all those universities you guys attend, create nothing, contribute nothing and blow outdated Victorian English as evidence of education is meaningful?

Oh like some SW people once said about an Edo person to oyinbo people "he's only a minority, do not ask him about Nigerian history. He cannot know anything about Nigerian history". That was about a first class graduate Edo man. Jealousy of how oyinbo relied on his expertise prompted your SW people to behave that way. Of course oyinbo people easily saw how pathetic your people can be in that instance.

Tell me your publications in renowned international Journals like Nature. Tell me your contribution to the body of knowledge in Western/advanced societies. Then we can compare. After that I will take you seriously. Tribal megalomania has blinded you lot. We're no more in the era of Western Region (which Midwest left anyway, thanks very much). Otherwise steer clear of comparing intelligence and stick to your agbero tactics in which you excel.

Like I wrote in a post yesterday you lot resort to agbero tactics, swearing and insults when your pseudo-intellectualism fails and you get angry. That is why you first call someone you do not know "a raving lunatic". You lot claim to be educated but still lick the ass of the uneducated North. Pathetic.

Like a typical coward swearing behind a faceless platform is very convenient. In Edo we do not brag. In real life I will not even threaten you saying "ah ah, emi ke, ah ma pa e o" before breaking your bones if it has to be. I do not even have to swear first. Just mess up and you get the result straight.
