It will help you because as it stands now, Nigeria does not have enough network to conduct online lectures or even to follow. Most Nigerians depend on big mb and Midnight to be able to make huge download.

If you keep relying on low network such as 4G, you will only be living in the past. Whereas the world is advancing, you guys are drawing us backwards, yet believe most of the magic performed by some fake pastors.

You guys won't stop drawing us backwards yet turn around to blame the government for lack of development.

Yes boss, Ogogo Magogo is Og and Magog.

But there are just some intriguing part to the term from the plain of Jezreel, (present day Tell Al Mustekeen) that if carefully viewed will betray further understanding.

Igodomigodo is of the same antiquity as this, meanwhile its the same root word for Megiddo, majidun, magodo, adjido: adjido means ajido "root [or source] of the progenitor:

Everyone connected to this grid in antiquity had a memorial stuck in their language. The phrase "obo l'Agido" shows that the Yoruba was conversant with Agido, her word for Megiddo.

They all have their variant of the place name. Many decisive war has been fought at this place. Hence it is metaphorical for the war of "Ha Magedon" that the Bible talked about.

The place so called is the plain of jezreel and whoever control the place had the cananland. Thus has been the fate from the invasion of Pharaoh Tutmose till WWII.

Igodomigodo

Another medley in the same family of "antique transliteration" is Igodomigodo: the Yoruba cannot say "igodomigodo", but they have a splinter, Igando.

Like you have it in majidun and magodo targeting the same source, Igando and Ogodo or magodo forms the contraption "igando-omo-igando".

Thats the hidden meaning of the term igodomigodo. The languages of this people holds clues and were connected in antiquity. But whats the historical value of this?

The implication of this terminology is that the Bini were first ruled by 'marine chieftains, sons of marine chieftains' when they were not yet a formidable people.

To verify this in the Bible, Edom married two wives, both Hittites. He was marrying into an established tribe as an individual. These were Canaanites, kindred with the Horites who controlled Jerusalem at a point in time.

And like the horite, the Hittite empire spread from Ugarit to Hebron as its flanks. They were seafarers. Thus the appellation, Oga odo, omo Oga Odo. This is validated in

"Jaka ara weme omoba tente lori omi"

They were original dwellers of mount seir, with the Horites. But the Hittites came from Ugarit where they have their capital city. The middle East was being contested for by all comers.

While the Hebrew family split, Israel was in Egypt, according to hebrew scriptures, Canaan empire was dwindling and Seir (Edom) was becoming a citadel 400 years after the patriarchs.

The original population overthrown or assimilated by Edom were the horites, the Hittites or the sea people, the kindred of the Phoenicians of Canaan at the fall of Canaan probably as a result of incessant attacks by the newcomers, the Hapiru.

Likewise the Yoruba also returned and conquered Qeltu and that became part of their allotment. Thus the emigrated Yoruba brought this place names with them.

The original inhabitants will definitely tilt towards being Yoruba protectorate but still revived or invoke their old identity like obalufon said, religion is part of the evolution of a people. An Ijebu song says

Orisa Ijebu o e
Orisa Ijebu o e
Orisa ijebu wagbewa nija o
Aye le orisa jebu wagbewa nija o.

When the going gets perplexing, people invoke their ancestry, that's spiritual. They should have invoke East Africa spring of mankind as the salvation of their society when threatened by extinction.

Better still they ought to invoke their source as perpetual place names. This will make scientific claims originating with origin of species an absolute history of mankind.

Rather, certain things worth putting in perpetuity, that the Yoruba ancestors did repeating place names, and we know its worth today. "Perpetual" in Yoruba is "atiran de iran".

Generation to generation.

On a lighter mood you accept the white man's history at your own risk. Is it not the folk tradition of the Yoruba slaves that somebody transformed to the origin of species?

It is said that all animals converged and had a meeting, that they cannot continued to be haunted by sons of men and they took their plea to the Creator.

Now God gave them the opportunity to all became human, but out of excitement, they missed their chance and remained as beasts perpetually.

Obo, monkey got faster jumping from tree to tree to where they had the elixir that will change their looks before any other animal. He was about settling down to the ritual when the rest of the animals arrived.

Alas they broke the pot in the stampede that ensued and monkey could only get as close to man as it is today. This is Yoruba folklore, buy that as origin of species at your own risk.

We are being sold our own folklore in the guise of science by the late comers.

The concept of friends /enemies are strictly Islamic. It's part of islam to hate the Jews and Christians.
Christianity is Love universal.
Islam is hate system dignified with a religion.
Have u wonder why over 80% of Pentecostal Churches founded by Yorubas always end up having 75% Igbos/SS as members.? Fact.
It's because we are ONE in Christ. RCCG, LFC, CAC, MFM, CCC, CSC, GMI and many thousands more....all have massive non yoruba members.
This is the mysteries the Yoruba Muslims don't understand and so keep wondering why we don't fight as Christians amongst ourselves

It's only Yoruba Muslims who are born to hate that always wanted Igbo as enemies. Same with Northern Muslims cos it's Islamic to hate.

johnmartus:
Obasanjo still in charge in Liberia. Which means Yoruba people still have say in the country than any other tribe in Nigeria.

Last week when Liberia president appointed our brother from southeast although the man not claim Nigeria again and he dont see himself as igbo but Liberian.

But some idiot both in Facebook and other social media boasting and mocking both Hausa and yoruba people. They called them series of unprintable names. I know leaders from other tribes will see such hatred comments make against their people.

They have used their inferiority complex destroyed the destiny of Cllr. A. Ndubusi Nwabudike.

Abia people will always stand for truths.

Area4Area:
It is the boastfulness of the Igbos that usually lead to the downfall of fellow Igbos, a thread was created after his nomination and see Igbos insulting others for not being as strong as the them. Liberians might have seen and read all the nonsense boasting and decided to tell George Weah to drop him which he did.

I Stand Against The Total Closure Of Worship Center by Pastorayojide(f): 10:46pm
I am here to speak out my own opinion and stand, I don't mind what critics will say or reply. This season when the economy is failing, when there is an epidemic of coronavirus, is when we need God the more. We need cooporate prayers more than ever. Our spiritual father's should please address this issue speedly. If market can be opened from 10am to 2 pm, then church under supervised hygiene control can also be open. Market is not gatted but most churches are gatted. Most churches in nigeria don't attract the crowd market does.
Christian this is a wake up call for us to speak up and also pray against every gate of hell towards the church. GOD AND THE CHURCH IS STILL THE SOLUTION TO ALL THIS PANDEMIC. Even if some critic will say that some church are not on the rigth track but we still have churches that are of God and christians that are genuine. CHRISTIANS AWAKE SPEAK UP AND PRAY. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONAL AND CORPORATE PRAYER. WE NEED CORPORATE PRAYER IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW.
