dayoungmoney1: He has the right to call whoever his father. It's not anyone's concern.
wrong! the Ooni is now property of the Yoruba and in all his actions he should serve as the custodian of Yoruba identity not to be worshiping some dead jew.. it's not by force to be a traditional ruler
Smooyis: I know what you mean, but God is God. He is supreme. He can decide to appoint anyone in order to change the course of doing things. He does as He wills. Many of the so called yoruba or African traditions are of the devil, and as such cannot endure the test of time as you think.
We need God intervention in our society
look at this bastard... yes bastard cus by your statement that's what you are
you have become a man with no identity. ..wannabe jew
The Jews you worship that you claim to be of God will treat you less than a goat and you scream "racism!"
cktheluckyman: They can go to hell!! Long live the Ooni!! I see this bright young man abolishing some of the stupid and archaic traditions including the abobaku rubbish
Yoruba have no stupid traditions.... it's fools like you with no identity that run mouth on issues like this
Bigchee72: You're moving goalposts now. You went from him going around preaching jesus to now did he say it in a church. Make up your mind and read your own words. I spoke on that going around you brought up.
you are trying to act smarter than you really are
I asked " what use is an Ooni if he goes around preaching Jesus?"
note that "if" is conditional. He must be thought that few moves he has been making are wrong for an Ooni, he can send representatives to preach on his behalf as he likes; in whatever motive, could be to foster unity but for him crowned as the Arole oodua preaching jesus should not be left unaddressed
This shouldn't be too difficult to understand and give a fitting response
Bigchee72: This trip was nothing but him preaching Jesus?
Do you know the number of speeches he made? They were all about preaching Jesus? Are you serious? you make up your own truth and run with it. Is that how it works? He was preaching Jesus in front of the congressional black caucus? At MoCADA? At Odunde? At Columbia Univsersity? At the African Union? At the economic forum in Maryland?
Lol...you dudes stay beating your own drum.
did he preach Jesus in church? yes or no? if yes why should ooni insult the throne in such manner?
that is what we should talk about
nobody on this thread is interested with the odunde festival or Maryland economic forum...those are subjects of another discuss
Bigchee72: Why is it that non-Ife folks are doing the most whining? Anyone care to know how we in Ife think about him or do you prefer continue to be our unpaid and unsolicited spokesman?
but speak the truth! what use is an Ooni if he goes around preaching Jesus? What concerns Jesus with yoruba?
whether he attends a conference with African Americans or a church with Nigerians it changes nothing about his duty to the throne. .. which is to be the custodian and defender of the Yoruba culture and traditions in the same way the queen of England is the custodian of the English culture and defender of the Anglican faith
at least he unlike sijuwade is involved in Yoruba traditions...I saw him preside over the Olokun festival
we don't need pastors or imams as Obas. ..it is better for that throne to be vacant for all eternity than to Insult the ancestors with all these nonsense foreign religions that exist only to eliminate our identity as Africans.
jumissy: Asiri is definitely a Yoruba word. Most Yoruba words you can break it down to the etymology (unless it's such an ancient Yoruba word that the breakdown is not known and in that case there is usually no other word for it Yoruba). In Yoruba asiri means something that was lifted to uncover, to see. As in something that was covered and the covering was lifted to discover something. A - something, si - lifted/opened, ri - to see/discover/uncover. How the other languages got the same word to mean secret, I don't know, but can they break down the etymology in their own langauge and is there no other word in their language for secret?
Enahi: Sad that you aren't as educated as I though, anyway nobody is dragging your Oduduwa history with you. Your history is different from bini. There is no point dragging anything with people who rely more on Oral history as their source of proof for their existence.
The true founders of Lagos is still in dispute if I can remember clearly due to a difference in date when Lagos was been inhabited by both d Aworis and bini. There is no evidence to actually prove that the Aworis ot binis were the first settlers so I disagree with Yoruba history on Aworis been the first settlers in Lagos. It's not like i care anyway but Yorubas should stop trying to force what's not on people.
stop saying nonsense. everyone knows Aworis founded Lagos. . when Oba Orhogbua sent his son to Lagos the aworis were already there the bini connection started when the Idejo chiefs invited Ado to be King
SenatePresdo: So if science and fact can't confirm the credibility 'Noah's ark' that means it should make me throw away my bible? funny.
Science is interesting, but we should be wary of when we take its above limit. Science is still very tender regarding the ratio of the known to the unknown In-as-much as I found it difficult to find convincing reasons to believe the Noah's flood actually happened, even before this thread was created, It still does not mean that It really never happened. Because it might not be like a day-to-day flood we experience now. That kinda flood might be supernaturally caused since the motive of destroying the earth then, was from a supernatural being. So everything about that flood was supernatural and since science has not be able to grasp some of the smallest explanation of supernatural event that Is happening in this present day, How can it explain the ones that happened centuries ago. Of some supernatural events.
Science is still pondering on how to make teleporting a reality, but it has been a reality many centuries ago! Science is still in its infantry, and anybody that takes it as standard for explaining how the universe works is also an infant.
I wonder how people take science as a standard for explanations, even when they haven't had a manned mission to venus that has been visited by occult/psychics centuries ago.
I can't continue, if you take science as an absolute means of finding the truth, good. But know it that science is still very young.... Christians be sensitive. God be with you.
Engrobiorah: You are talking poo. I asked a simple question. He is an atheist, which means he doesnt believe in any god, den wat is oluwa which means god still doin in his name?
oluwa means Master or Lord not God. so shut the hell up
marvelck: You and I know whenever a girl says she doesnt have a boyfriend, she is not saying the truth (in most cases). Almost every Naija girl say this or keep mum about their relationship status whenver you ask them, cos its only few girls that are sure of their partners and where their relationship are headed (altar bound)...while others are simply floating & not so sure of whom they are with. That's why most girls who have partners, sometimes claim they are not in a relationship (don't have a boyfriend) whenever they're meeting a new guy. Some of them say or do this, if the person they are dating is not that committed. And in such situations, they might be tempted to try their luck with another guy. There are those who also find it difficult to boast of having a partner in public when they actually have one. This could be due to the same reason or probably cos the guy is not capable enough (financially or emotionally wise)...That's why I advise guys to always show some level of commitment whenever they are in a serious relationship. That's what most girls want. It's only a confused girl that would have a committed guy/relationship, and still be cheating or misbehaving...Love is commitment. And commitment is honorable. To Naija girls, seeing is believing!
and all girls are confused. the day she stops being confused is the day she becomes a woman
iaamxavier: i still pose this question to atheist y do most atheist bear religious name eg mark zuckerbeg , seun osewa , my friend john etc y dont change their name after converting its quite pathetic tho.
stop this please. the name "Mark" is actually more pagan than Christian. the Romans had this name in honor of the God of War - Mars
and Seun has nothing to do with Christianity or islam. ..it's a plain yoruba name
orisa37: This fellow is a nuisance. He is ignorant, intrepid and satanic. Lucifer(Laroye) had this understanding, behaved accordingly and was thrown headlong downwards. Ooni was educating his audience on the similarities of the Septuagint, Vulgate and the KJV Bible God with Yoruba Spiritual and Religious Philosophy. ODUDUWA MEANS CHRIST IN YORUBA PHILOSOPHY. Christ is Character. Oduduwa is IWA Character borne out of Cultures and Traditions. So whenever The Great Ooni says in English Language that he is the Son of Jesus Christ, he is in effect saying that he is The Son of ODUDUWA the first son of Olorun Olodumare(God Almighty). In Yoruba Philosophy, Oonis Claim is a fact that can never be disputed. But to a corrupt and satanic controversial character, he will always remain ignorant, jealous and covetous to the Throne of ODUDUWA. ODU means BONDS. DU means LAYS. IWA means Modus Operandi. The Word Of God(Olorun) that was with God at the Beginning and that was God.
Iamsynord: Note - Doing indigenous music is not an excuse for lack of intl recognition. 9ice was invited to nelson mandela and MOB0 and Yousuf won a grammy with his local songs.. So doing local or indigenous song is never an excuse..
1) Quantity Over Quality - Olamide has made quantity is main goal..Flood the scene with songs and songs till you reach a point of equilibrum and then start to decline...
Olamide has failed to allow the people thirst for his songs and his releases are not up to expectations too...
It gets to a point listeners are no longer gingered to listen to what the artist will say as artist becomes monotous and repititive.
The rapper is even gearing up to release a sixth studio album.
2) Branding - Branding is also very much .... The Kind of brand Olamide potrays is of the not too internationally minded artist. He hardly dresses corporate and potray his versatility in his brand..
He has even gone ahead to Brand himself a Local Rapper. This type of image projected is the way he is addressed..
He has even refused to meet up with more influential managers and more serious minded and music experts ..... The lack of Expertise on the side of the management and consisting of influential managers does bear its mark.
3) Appeal - While deviation from indigenous music is not the point. Appeal is very paramount..... Olamide style is not appealing to the outside world.. Sometimes balancing works.. I wonder if Hausas listen to olamide songs ? But i bet more listen to 9ice ? Why
A little of more mature songs and english lyrics might do the trick....Do something appealing to every one and yet dont forget the minority. You dont waste international features with Wale on songs like papilo you go make us proud....
Give them what they love.. Trap,pop. Feature more of their artistes and seek for international features....
Olamide is a Legend and will remain one... However , breaking into the international market Like Wizkid is not an easy job......
Olamide has too much talent than to be labelled a local rapper... We want to see him topping the billboard chart and copping his own BET award soon too... Enough of the Headies and NEA awards.

@iamsynord
Badoo sneh is still the biggest artist in nigeria. he has conquered Nigerian music industry with both quality and quantity
Eleda mi, Melo Melo, Anifowose aren't club songs.
it's all about connection with foreign artists, which olamide feels he's too big to lobby for
Djbaka: Lol... Jesus is alive, it's evident. Visible to the blind, audible to the deaf.
He loves you. He will always do.
then you are silly to Insult other people for their beliefs. if you believe a jew of 2000 years ago is still alive somewhere in space you have no right to think otherwise on the deities of Yorubaland
Naija9090: I tired of all these disgracing of the country. Go and form your Oduo Republic and do your ancient things there...stop dragging us all especially SE and SS minus Edo, that don't believe in Obas, Emirs and Onis. This act alone I'm sure will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars to mobilize the firefighters and equipment for something uncalled for.
Obi of Onitsha explains role of traditional rulers in Nigeria for those overstepping their boundary.
paris10: when pronouncing the 'stab' part, it comes with just one syllable. Its Ogun and not O' Gun. Even in a case where the O is used in isolation just as you mentioned, it is still marked in a vocative case... e.g O Canada ( National Anthem entrance). Such character are usually seen as a vowel that complement a word. Oh' would be more appropriate and would mean two seperate words.
why stress the matter? deji47 already made it all clear
MrDojo: Good day everyone, who else among the guys here on NL has experienced this..?!
For the past 6yrs that I've been on the dating scene, I've experienced a lot of misses rather than hits in my dating game, this is not due to the fact I lacked the looks, charm, smarts etc. I noticed a scenario that always repeated itself, which was when ever I approached a girl, we would click instantly, she would flash all the green lights flashable, we would have a lot in common & get along really well, then whenever I finally ask her for us to be "exculsive".... The horror film begins...
They never tell me No or a yes.. I'm not friendzoned neither am I in the dating zone, I more than a friend to her but less than a BF, when I ask them why they can't give me an answer, they give all manner of reasons such as; you are too good for me, I like you a lot but I don't love, let's be more than friends but I can't date you ( WTF ), I don't know what I feel towards you...let's keep what we have....and blah blah blah...
Most times I give them time to sort out their feelings coming back again to ask hoping to get a good answer but their emotions are still in a state of flux.. I'll give up and move on ( when I move on I move on totally no looking back ), only for this ladies who seemly had nothing for me to come back (vengeful) when they see me hooking up with another chick, then they start all manner of theatrics....then I begin to wonder is it not the same girl who had "Nothing" for me...
This scenario as played out more than 5 times with me... I'll like to know if other guys here have experienced this or are also experiencing this....
Sorry for the long essay..
too much "Mr nice guy" dey worry you. you friendzone yourself already
tyhgfrdeswscbhf: Do u kW who obi of Onitsha is....Igbo's dont make noise abegabeg... Somebody shud tell DAT oba DAT dia is crisis in his state and his state government av not not. Paid workers salary..so let him stop wasting money on things DAT are not relevant
now Obi of Onitsha is a king. later igbos will say They are republican, they don't have kings. confused human beings
Obi of Onitsha disbursed N30m to better the lives of his subjects... Comparing the two kings From an unbiased point of view, I'll take the Obi over the Ooni....
Quote me anywhere
We Niger deltans need a king like the Obi of Onitsha and not a tourist
but as you take the obi that doesn't change the fact that Ooni is greater
dblackninja: Very good. They just wanna win an argument, that's the problem. Macof is strong headed but folykaze likes to learn, though you won't see him admit it. You can read his lines..his doing all those things so that he won't appear defeated. That's okay by me so long as the core objective has been achieved If I didn't drop my argumentum spirit in a closet, we would have reached 200 pages by now.
Mr. I've left you to your ignorance since, why call me back?
strong headed? what have you brought to this topic that I rejected to show my "strong headedness"?
I told you to first find out the meaning of religion. ..and other words like spirituality, worship, nature, spirit etc
btw there's nothing like supernatural. ..anything that fits into that category is non existent in all measures. Reason being that nothing can be above or beyond Nature... it is more appropriate to say "mystic"
Bless God you finally get the name of where the man crop up from after many years.
Are you from oduduwas lineage?
Was he from chimpanzee?
olowora in Lagos? are you sure of what you are saying?
the thing is oduduwa is shrouded in mysteries, it's also worthy to note that the name has been used to refer to more things than just the First Ooni, so which oduduwa are you talking about?
Culture › Re: Oduduwa Is Your Father, Not Jesus - Ooni Of Ife Told By A Nigerian by macof(m): 11:22pm On Jun 30, 2016
how do you see this as amazing please? they couldn't even say the so called criteria
