onila: I think African women look lovely and very feminine in head

I agree. I wish we'd wear more headwraps and less hair from unknown Asian women.

I agree with bigfrancis21. Women will raise our children in ways that are consistent with our own cultures as long as men allow our cultures to survive and be seen as valuable. What I mean is that men fight most of the battles (political, territorial, etc.) that determine whether cultures live or die.

Fulaman198: You are not the only one lol I did as well. Western media does a good job of brainwashing us.

Yes indeed but I must admit I know as much about East Africans as I know about Australians which isn't much so in the future I'll just learn silently.

Good Girl: Please don't tell me that you have bought the crap being paraded around cyber space as to how Maasais should typically look like. Lol..!!
Those girls are 100% Maasai. Both parents are Maasai. They are the Moipei sisters - Martha Siteiya Moipei, Magdaline Nemanyara Moipei, Mary Nenkai Moipei (who happen to be triplets) and their younger sister Seraphine Moipei. They are singers with their own musical group, the Moipei Quartet.
Google Moipei Quartet or Moipei triplets to learn more about them.

Yup I bought that crap. Thank you for the correction.

Vicjustice: If you're willing to accept it, I'd tell yu that people in Irish forums wouldn't be this impolite. By the way, not every man that fancy what you fancy, those "many better ones back home" might not just be what I personally fancy

Yes I know you don't fancy women who might give birth to children who look like you. You are a very common type of man...especially since you stumbled upon one who is really at the very bottom of the barrel. I asked you to ponder why my dear. Why...... And while you're at it please do give me the link to one of those Irish boards. I don't fancy Europeans at all so I don't know any but I'd love to test your theory.

I don't think these are Masai. The dress is inauthentic and the phenotype looks more like these are Horners.

onila: Oh sharrap!

I posted both urban and rural areas of Africa

nothing wrong posting village images, we r proud of our rural life

Westerners are living in that man's head for free. I don't know why some Africans are so concerned about how outsiders see us.

Vicjustice: Does the title or the comments in this thread refer to you personally?
There is no need for all these bashing, why not let her be?

I invite you to visit an Irish board, post some nonsense about the Irish converting to Nigerian culture and see the welcome you get. You are so pathetic to think that we should be bending over backwards respecting this disrespectful, ignorant troll of a woman. If you have found the spare time to defend this ghost then perhaps you have the spare time to investigate why you are looking for ghastly women like this one when there are so many better ones back home.

SomalilandBear: I thought I saw a topic like this a while ago so I decided to sign up and try to answer some questions myself.
Ask anything! You know you want to...

Why do Somali women continue to support their daughters being mutilated so that they are "safe for marriage" ?

Ajuran: Somali women have more power than most women in africa. As they run the home and our culture treats women better than majority of arab and african countries.

I'm sorry but this is the most pathetic lie I've heard in ages. If getting your clitoris cut off and the lips of your vagina cut off and whatever is left sewn or stitched together by thorns is being "treated better" which countries do you dare compare yourselves to? Certainly not any country in West Africa. As a Somali man what kind of sick pleasure do you get out of sex when you are doing nothing more than inflicting pain on a wounded creature?

Good Girl: Lupita speaks out for them. She is beautiful both inside and out.

Gorgeous indeed.

[quote author=some-girl]No one did.....some words are automatically replaced with "more decent" ones on this site.[/quote]Aha thanks for the knowledge.

IrishBebey: the world is moving forward, the reason to look beyond culture or whatever

"whatever" is all you have but I have a culture worth preserving.

FOLYKAZE: Nobody taught me anything. I read through his oriki and put on my thinking cap.

Since you want to blab, I promise to write about eshu and intuition here. I dont know why it hard for you to read through the link I gave you. Chai.

Mind answering the questions I asked on previous post or lets agree you read but dont know what you reading?

Let me make it 100% clear that your trying to twist and turn Ifa to suit your atheist needs is moronic and juvenile. I have nothing to learn from you about ATR's so I won't be reading the drivel you've posted to learn about Eshu. Anyone who equates Eshu with Satan is a disrespectful fool.

macof: I have seen people with such claims. Eshu has nothing to do with satanism. Don't be like those Christians that call Eshu satan

Exactly. He just let me know he's been "taught" by people who know nothing of Eshu.

FOLYKAZE: What is spirit?

Spirit is what we are without the physical wrapping. Limiting spirit to intuition is absurd. Spirits possess intuition, remorse, foresight, knowledge, judgement, beliefs, the ability to feel and cause pain, the ability to experience and provoke fear, the ability to communicate with other spirits, etc. Eshu/Legba is an incredibly powerful spirit that I've communicated with firsthand so I know he is not intuition. You as an atheist are perhaps trying to shape something that you are attracted to into something that suits your spiritless worldview. However you need to own your atheism instead of trying to pull apart other people's spiritualities in an attempt to create something that suits you. ATR's are not to be done partially as your whims dictate. You should either respect them and yield to spirit or you choose to honor your chosen title as an atheist.

Have you heard about buddhist atheist? The last time I check, spirituality is not about people but your own self. No blueprint here too huh?

In the African tradition spirituality is not about any one individual. Spirituality is about being joined to and serving spirits that our ancestors have connected us with. The group identity that you seek is shallow and meaningless because you are trying to compartmentalize something that is not designed to be broken into parts. If you want to try to pull bits and pieces of other people's spiritualities apart to fill a base emptiness I'd prefer you do it to buddhism.

Fulaman198: yeah, where are you from?

Benin.

FOLYKAZE: - firstly, voodoo is a religion which recognise spirit as divine entity. How does that relate to Eshu? And how do I disrespect Vodou religion?

Vodun is a Fon word that literally means spirit. Eshu/Legba is one of the many spirits recognized. Eshu is not the concept of intuition.

FOLYKAZE: - atheist have no moral? Chai. Off topic....im not discussing about this.

No I never said atheists have no morals. I said they have no moral blueprint. To me they are those brave enough to march off saying "I'll create my own." If some atheists are trying to cling to philosophies founded from other people's spiritualities (such as Ifa or Buddhism) then essentially they are not the brave I thought they were. They are just like most humans....comforted by group think and ideas made for mass consumption.

Fulaman198: Yes, and also I wish I was dark like they are their genes are so strong.

Exquisite dark skin.....yes!

FOLYKAZE: Eshu is intuition. No voodoo included.

Vodun means spirit. Are you asserting that the spirits are not really spirits but just names given to concepts like intuition? If so you are disrespecting the very foundation of vodun.

I believe you have identified yourself as an atheist who believes in the philosophical unerpinnings of Ifa. Why do you feel it is necessary to adhere to any philosophical package. I thought atheists were the ones who put themselves out there and lives their lives without a moral blueprint other than the one that feels right to them. Are you saying that atheists also desire a group identity in the same way other religious do? Why is that necessary? I think that being part of a group is what people really want. The title of the group seems to be secondary.

Ajuran: those south sudanese had it so good when they were sudan and controlled by ay-rabs. Now who will feed and clothe them?

I see that you're trying to derail another good thread. Instead of continuing here I can point you in the direction of an Arab board where you can go profess you're love for being their eternal abd. http://www.morocco.com/forums/

anylove100: ahahaha you nigerians are paranoid and sensitive bunch,you take everything too personal and you love to conceal everything..i have the right to express my opinion based on experience,fact ,evidence and reason.I dont care if your feelings are hurt by the truth.tell me about paragraphs,dont you know sometimes the website interface can distort presentation?

Oyinbo please know I'm Beninese. Good day.

Madam speaker: Have you ever wondered why all these ritualists and babalawos still remain poor even though they make others get rich overnight?...
Many people go to them for help to become rich or get one thing or the other...i wonder why their customers dont ask them this question...

Pls why are they still poor?

If your paramount goal is to communicate with and channel spirit why would you be concerned with earthly wealth? Some babalawos are doing very well but a lot of them are focused on other things because they know what is truly important.

Immacula8: When you kill people who feed you; what are you going to eat?

The food you grow yourself.

anylove100: I'll tell you now West Africa is overpopulated and generally unfriendly ,morally,mentally, atmospherically and climatically Inconducive,you will regret moving there ,only good to visit and tour.f

Yes stay out of West Africa. You are not wanted anyway. And please note that paragraphs and grammar were invented to ease communication. Use them.

Jayvarley: Well, at least the Somali is somewhat entertaining!!

That dog turd Anylove100 just came on this thread to hate!

The amount of energy the Somali puts into this site leaves me no doubt that he/she is mentally ill.

I've never met a good looking South African but Henry Cele was a sexual god.

Jayvarley: Pacer = Anylove100

Thanks. I have no idea what drives people like this and that somali to spend so much time trying to rile other people up. I can't imagine how little else they have to occupy their lives.

onila: Dogon elder-Mali

The Dogon are the unique tribe in this country to have preserved their culture/tradition intact, from any influence from Arabs; colonialists etc... they were not conquered by anyone.

I wish. A lot of them are Muslims now.
