Just because of free ticket he buys for you.So you cannot pay for your ticket?you should keep quiet and lock yourself to telemondo let the enlightened folks do the talking. Open bombom and produce baby. Work you dont have. Money you cant make.What do you want to support again.You might be thrown out of that house soon. Enjoy the free food for now. Girl bye.

good. so if you must seek the respect a man gets you need to start taking up the duties of the man. . unfortunately, no able man sits and let's anyone take his responsibilities. ..men aren't supposed to run away from hard work.. so pray you find a weakling for a husband who would let you take his responsibilities

cancaworm:
Treated like pigs. Look at this olori that should talk and help the less privileged. No way. She should have kept quiet and focus on her african magic movie if she doesn't know what gender equality means.

so ur mother is/was treated like a pig? if so, blame ur damned father not the general population of Men

oh please, feminists aren't even agitating for gender equality. .the word "feminists" exposes your fraud

do you want to be governor? or president? or found a company? do you want to be wealthy. .even more than your husband? Go ahead. ..work hard and stop being lazy just seeking relevance. .. There's already gender equality in most African societies. ..real women know how to grab what they want instead of complain and play the victim every time.

look at Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Allison Madueke and Alakija... they are powerful women who respect their husbands. hold your husband responsible for his responsibilities. ..as you should be responsible for yours

Starlet50:
First of all,it's YORUBA not yoloba.secondly,we are descendants of the seven(maybe nine not sure) sons of Oduduwa and we migrated from Mecca not from the sky.Did I hear u say the thread is an insult to Ibo guys?? U really nid to get rid of your tribalistic mentality cos ur culture is not superior to the fulanis not to talk of Yoruba.Bloody Tribalist!!!!!

oduduwa was our first King. ..not that we are all products of his seed

btw He didn't come from mecca but Oke-Ora

iKarma:
This Edo ashewo better not bring gender inequality to the SW.

Yoruba women
1. Have been queens and ruling over kingdoms in the past

2. Get inheritance unlike their Ibo counterparts

3. Are deemed as equal opponents in politics

4. Are equally as educated as men in Yorubaland

5. Work hard just as men

6. Are equally as respected

true( except 3) but this is not the point.

Yoruba culture makes it clear that women and men have different roles. .. we are to complement eachother. .. what attention seeking women calling themselves feminists want is to compete with men


Yoruba culture is fair on women but you still see young rude girls say they can't cook...the man should go to the kitchen and cook, they can't sit back to nurse the children...they are tired; but expect a man who provides financial support regardless of their personal wealth, a man that protects them from harm.

any woman who can't cook gladly for her husband and children is no woman. .just as a man who can't provide for his wife and children is no man

waternogetenemy:
That is a big fat lie from Osun defenders.


Igbos are related with eastern tribes like Ibibio,Idoma, Igala, Efik, Ijaw, Isoko and southwest Cameroon.


U did not even mention bini, it is far away Yoruba. Igbo are not ur relatives, once Nigeria is over, we bid u farewell.


If u like marry 1million times from us to get our genes, that don't make us related.

foolish land grabbers. idoma, Ijaw, Isoko and igala aren't eastern

and also, yes Yoruba and Igbo are more ethnically and even genetically related than Igbos with Efik or Ijaw or southwestern Cameroonians

Even Chinese are 99 percent igbo

all humans are 99 percent similar
humans are 97% chimpanzees

it's common knowledge

you have anything about their Local deities?

But many of these things are wrong

like:
who traced Sungbo to Bilqis?
where in the bible is Ijebu origin recorded? when did Ijebu become the largest ethnic group. ..when did Ijebu break away from the Yoruba ethnic umbrella to become an ethnic group of its own?


many errors I tell you

matrix600:
I still don't understand how someone can justify such unimaginable evil.. How can such an evil and heartless person as Elisha be a prophet of God? I takes an equally heartless and conscienceless person to justify such atrocity. Because this is plain EVIL. In today's world such a psychopath will be executed at once or locked up.
Imagine the scenario, the yelling and screaming and blood gushing out of the children's throats, eyes, limbs, belly, and the so called 'prophet of God' just stands there with a big smile on his face, feeling victorious. Gives glory to his god and walks away. All because he was insulted by some lads. This is really sickening.
The only comfort i can find in this is that its a lie. Because there really is no justification for such evil if it were true.

you still try to give the bible god a chance? read the Torah very well, that God was a devil

obinoral1179:
how many of your kings can pull this kind of recognition outside the shore of Nigeria?



Don't hate but celebrate.

none of his kings can pull anything within Nigeria sef

Igboid:
You are wrong. The Bini titles in Anioma are mostly result of Bini imperialism or in reverence to Bini thereby eliciting an attempt to copy the Bini by the Anioma. The Obi in Anioma like traditional Igbo kings like Obi of Nnewi( Yes some Igbo clans had kings before arrival of the whites) who doesn't have absolute powers like the Oba of Bini does, amongst his people.

A typical example of Bini imperialistic imprint in Anioma can be seen on how Bini forced the Enogie title on the Igbankes of Edo state, forcing the people to now use Eze title secondarily. Tommorow Binis will point the Enogie title as evidence of Igbanke Bini origin.

I believe this, Bini are known to claim ancestral origin for people they had contact(and some influence) with

however anioma don't seem to deny this Bini ancestry claims

jordinsparkles:
noted

ok. you have a lovely smile btw

jordinsparkles:
he is a Christian for God's sake!!!! Its just like serving two masters at a time.

ooni has explained that he grew up exposed to both Christianity and Islam. so he isn't really a Christian

and now as the number 1 yoruba man, he is the custodian of everything Yoruba. ..this includes Olokun traditions.. in fact yoruba tradition comes first before any religion he might have been confused with as a child

mmsen:
Monarchy has no place in the 21st century.

too bad you can't do anything about it

I've always found the Bini influence over the Western Igbos to be ancestral and more than just imperial expansion of Bini because many of the titles have Bini names and the Obi system is quite different from the republican government practiced by other igbos

@igboid you didn't make any conclusion on the origin of the umuezechime since Bini cannot confirm their link with Princess Ezechi

shamecurls:
Yoruba leads and other follow...........



The King of Kings of the Federal Republic of Nigeria


......There is none like him

and some people said Oba of Bini and Sultan sokoto is greater than the Ooni

erusen:
oh please am not talking about Christianity am taking about a moral giant that killed twins and still burials human heads with kings,

didn't you want to compare Christianity and Islam with African traditions? Rossikk just showed you how much of a moral giant African traditions are when compared to those religions...
you cannot compare the killings of the inquisition or crusade to killing a few twins which was only done by the efik people in calabar

still? can you prove this or you just like to slander?

jordinsparkles:
even if they aren't complaining, it is so biased and bazaar!!!!

I don't see anything bizarre or biased about Ooni giving offerings to olokun anywhere in the world.

gunther6:
No no no... This is gbegiri news, Obama is receiving Obi of Onitsha not Ooni of Ife infact Donald Trump will attend the next ofala festival, pls op correct the news, it is a well known fact that Igbo's own 40% of the properties in New York City, we developed it...

jordinsparkles:
Are these people mad or something.. Did they travel to the US to pollute their water.

are the Americans complaining?

olaitoro:
And I. Think Ooni is inferior to Alafin of oyo. The ooni is only a stooge to Yoruba politicians like Bode George and Bola Tinunu.

Alagin is the greatest of the royalties in Yoruba land

but where did you get this from?

legendte:
No one can match the Oba of Benin ancient Kingdom. Back to your question, it is Oba> Emir> Ooni

be deceiving yourself oviedo. just keep deceiving yourself

erusen:
am not particularly religious but let's be honest here, there was nothing great about Africa,pre-colonizations,a Scottish woman still needed to come and stop calaber people from killing twins,even the binis still kill seven heads for obas dead,via headless graves found this year in Benin city,even in the 21st century the land is still full of rituals,I can't blame foreign religions for that,Nigeria had bad leaders thats all,with our resources we should have made progress and then through modern science become secularized, so u see,deep analysis,I hate with when Africans still blame others for their woes after half of century we still can govern oursefts

i understand you but the issue of sacrifices for a king was voluntary.

how do you explain raping a child?

erusen:
elaborate.
1,u mean u prefer girls topless
2.what is the relationship between pedophilles with Christians %muslims

what I prefer doesn't matter.


when those abominations came into our land, they demonized everything, they came from cultures that Sexualized the top of a female. so much so that nairaland censored the word ..in Africa that part of the body is for feeding the children and is a symbol of motherhood

we were of high morals before these religions

Ubenedictus:
Lol, oduduwa is nolonger from mecca or sudan or egypt, or kenya or from d sky, now he is from oke ora according to macof personal oral history. next u will tell us he was ur village person. keep shifting his origin

not my personal history please. That's Ife history

but at the end, he is not Ekaladerhan. ..you bini folks will claim anything including being owners of Europe

MKO4ever:
So Fayose has resulted to blaming the past Government for his gallant failures!!!

But if the Federal Government blames the past government for anything, this same Fayose will start opening his mouth anyhow.

Actually Fayose was telling the truth, Fayemi plunged ekiti into debts

you don't reside in Ekiti, you won't understand why fayemi was voted out by all LGs.

Reyginus:
Let me advice you, macof. You see, there's no way ad hominem will make your argument for you and neither will your red herrings do so.

Your behaviour is typical to that of a toddler who thinks a best way to refute poor logic is by insulting the question of refuting. Let me help your poor memory.

First, who asked you about Iseele? Who's interested in Iseele? So how exactly can I be thinking of Iseele when all I ever wanted was remove Iseele from your Orisha? Don't confuse yourself.

You can't dodge this. This is the question again: Deism is simply the believe in a God that doesn't interfere with the universe. So how is this the same thing when I worship or venerate Orisha?


You can throw one or two lines of ad hominems or a toddlers tantrum to sound reasonable. You seem to think it's working. The question is, if you worship Yourself how then is it deism? Prove to me you can think.

and the emboldened proves those aren't just ad hominem but honest description of you... how can a sound mind project this same question after reading my last post?

you don't carry an argument over in circles as if your questions aren't being answered and not expect someone not to see something wrong with you


so yh, accuse me of ad hominem, that's your business, after all I say that for your own good. when you have gotten help over your cognitive disorders let me know.

Richy4:
I love the culture. but the idea of an adult male that probably got wife and family sitting on the floor in this 21st century is what i can't understand.

it is kind of degrading to me. i don't know if i am the only one having this feeling.

but the man is not complaining

Femiiroko:
So your kneeling in worship at the church the other time is here hypocrisy! !!!

he has learnt that was a mistake, He is now doing the duty of an Ooni


I'm loving this man gradually

this was when young girls went around topless without fear of being molested by pedophiles


Christianity and islam really set the Blacks back

Reyginus:
Lol. I've seen things today. Deism is simply the believe in a God that doesn't interfere with the universe. So how is this the same thing when I worship or venerate Orisha?

he still thinks I used "Deism" to refer to Isese

your comprehension is at the same level as a 10 year old or you just playing dumb

I asked you; since Deism is a belief relating to the Divine, is Deism a religion?



even if I call Isese a form of deism. ..I won't be wrong.
there's Deism - Olodumare doesn't interfere with the physical universe, there's no shrine, no priests to it Pantheism - everything is made up of Ase, Ase that belongs to Olodumare.
Animism - This Ase gives life(not necessarily biological) to all things. Monotheism - there's only one unquestionable, all powerful supreme being in whom all things find its source. Polytheism - There are 401 Gods worshipped in Isese


Please if you must reply this, do so with an intelligent input after understanding every word of this post I don't have time to continue with unproductive discussion that's just going in circles

Reyginus:
What then is Orisha worship? Let the philosophy of Ori for its turn. Let's address this first. If Orisha is just a higher level in awareness or a higher form of consciousness who then am I worshipping?

philosophy of Ori is part of Isese, so it cannot be left aside


you worship yourself, your head, your father, your ancestors, the elements etc
