Absolutesuccess,

Bro, Im not dismissing what you posted last but I'd love that you return to your post on Osumare and Sumeria. Did you understand my response on the subject?

Lets stay on it for sometime, please.

The people in Bahia, Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, had separated from Yorubaland over 200yrs and If we find a worship in Cuba or Bahia called Xango, even though the spelling is different from Sango, a result of language chip-off, we still acknowledge that the diaspora is reliving a record of their experience and practice centuries ago in Yorubaland.

On Osumare, what im saying is that the spirituality in the Yoruba of West Africa has kept this record as a token of something that Yoruba of AfroAsia experienced and practiced. That something....whatever it is....is a sacredness connected with Sumeria as you hinted.

Don't forget that your Osumare/Sumeria hint was a thrown in from the Eredu/Eredo post regarding the sacredness of earthly Idu as a stand.


Osumare is rainbow in an outward sense.....inwardly it is tied to a sacredness that began in Sumeria.

Eredo, outwardly, is an archeological site, but inwardly it has a spirituality linked with mythical Bilikisu Sungbo.
Sungbo is the Ijebu term for Ogboni.

I dont know about this practice in other Yoruba hinterland but in Lagos Island every Idu geo-location also has a Sungbo/Ogboni conclave.

Inwardly, the spirituality of Eredu/Eredo in Yorubaland is a record token of an origin elsewhere. I link it with Eridu in Sumeria.


There will be things missing in the language and outward expressions or terminologies that inwardly can find answers in spirituality. We should not be afraid to explore our own awo for answers.


Cheers!
Car Talk › Re: Advert Of Girl Eating Banana: Audi Apologises by MetaPhysical: 10:12pm On Aug 05, 2020
ExAngel007:
German carmaker Audi has apologised for an ‘insensitive’ advert showing a little girl leaning on the front of a high-performance car while she eats a banana.

https://www.tori.ng/userfiles/image/2020/aug/05/Audi.JPG

The advert, promoting the Audi RS 4 Avant, was posted on the company’s official Twitter account and attracted criticism from some social media users who described it as “sexually suggestive”, “strange” and “creepy”.

Critics also suggested the advert glorifies “dangerous driving” and shows a child at risk of being run over.

Audi said the advert was a “mistake”, tweeting that such mistake would not be made in future.

Their Twitter Statement Read;



“We hear you and let’s get this straight: We care for children. The Audi RS 4 is a family car with more than thirty driver assistance systems including an emergency break system. That’s why we showcased it with various family members for the campaign.

We hoped we could convey these messages, showing that even for the weakest traffic participants it is possible to relaxingly lean on the RS technology. That was a mistake! Audi never intended to hurt anyone’s feelings.

We sincerely apologize for this insensitive image and ensure that it will not be used in future.

We will also immediately examine internally, how this campaign has been created and if control mechanisms failed in this case. “


However, other social media users said they could not see what was “offensive” or “provocative” about the advert.

See More Reactions Below;


@Holly__Storm: Right, so for all the banally, but thankfully morally minded people saying “you need yer head lookin at” if anyone sees this as wrong etc, there’s something called cultural conditioning. You see it with things which seems mildly offensive or inappropriate, but are overlooked a

@FoxxysTweets: The problem is not with the advert or a girl eating a banana, its the friggin sickos who see a young girl eating a banana and their minds go to sex.

@DipBrig11: Apologised? How the hell us this ‘sensitive? It’s a child eating a banana. What sickos see anything else??

@Calvinroche1: I’m offended by this…how dare people not be offended by this content…utterly disgraceful…Audi should be liquidated for this behaviour


https://mobile.twitter.com/AudiOfficial/status/1290242181148618752?p=v[/quote]They should ask the people that say it is sexually provocative if they dip banana for sexual gratification. Let them confess.

Is there anything left in mundane human activity that has not been regulated and legally compromised?

Ordinary banana don become sex object.

Check this out....
If i say Osumare is cognate with Cosmos, a Greek word, it will be difficult to prove. cheesy

If i say Cosmos is cognate with Cosmetic, an English word, there will be no dispute.


Osumare in English is Rainbow! What is rainbow? Colorful display.

What is Cosmetic? A colorful display.


So while linguistically Osumare is far from Cosmos, when considered as a utility function it matches perfectly with cosmetic....which is a cognate for cosmos.


The confusion is in rainbow and cosmetic....two English words.

What is etymology for rainbow and for cosmetic?


So you can see that as words travel and rub against other words parts of their properties and function chip off and replaced....or substituted with something else to cover the gaps.

The spirituality of a race does not suffer such abrasions.

American Indians have lost their language, unique looks, lands and sacred grounds but their spirituality is intact.

The Yoruba spirituality is found as a foundantion in many religions, from judaism to christianity and islam. All the pieces and bits we have been able to see and recognize as cognates and footprints in afroasia are made possible by the core link of ancient Yoruba practices. When it rises to surface it shows up as common words between us and them. How about if it does not rise to surface, and remains hidden beneath.....is there a way to go after it and detect presence? Yes, there is.

Cheers bro! smiley
Remain blessed!

Culture › Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by MetaPhysical: 8:31pm On Aug 05, 2020
absoluteSuccess:
My widow's mite to this collection is that Eridu when interpreted in Yoruba language could mean oridu, Ori dudu, which is what Sumer in Sumerian stands for.

Dudu and susu are synonymous, hence Sumer is possibly an alternative to Eridu: su/du, mer/Ori. But the Yoruba had reassigned their concept of Sumer somewhat.

Osumare, the rainbow

This is the Yoruba word closest in meaning to Sumerians'. To make histological sense of this requires that we consider whatever rainbow is to the Sumerians.

The Bible comes to the rescue: here, tradition spoke of patriarch Noa and the deluge. After the water assuaged, he came out and offer atonement or peace offering.

And like the Hebrew, the Yoruba word for this ritual is called etutu, the Hebrew version of this is "athoos", where the blood is synecdoche (a part standing for a whole).

Otu or atu is the innocent beast or animal whose blood is spilled for the sin of or for the atonement of wrongdoing, to God in this

Responding to the atonement, God gave the rainbow as a covenant. Somehow, Olodumare rhymes with Osumare, "the Sustainer of continuity" and "the circle of continuity".

Dilemma of linguistics

Like the case of Yoruba being tagged to kwa and not Afroasiatic language, the same applies to the Hebrew language: it's not listed on the info European language.

The linguistic hypothesis of language families draw strength from the present abode of a language in question with what it shares with her neighbors than trace obscure origins, however true.

The Hebrew as eponymous name derived from crossing the Euphrates, but the people are not permanent residents of the place, so they are rather natives of the country of residence.

So, could seventy people emigrating to Egypt force the Egyptian to speak their dialect? One language have to go. Then staying for another 400 years is something.

Now going back to established Canaan means either learning the lingual Franca of the Levant that must be the language of trade, the Egyptian language and other dialects.

In all this, the linguist won't have to follow the dictates of tradition here and there but decide a simple definite answer that favours linguistic proper, not "geneology" so to say.

However, people hardly drop their tradition, hence Hebrew and the hausa for instance claim to have derived from the Chaldeans. How does that fit in to the tradition of origin of the linguistic family?

Such example shows linguistics is not a death sentence on tradition of origin. The linguistic concept is called hypothesis because it's still growing and not a pure or applied science.
Thanks bro. God bless you!

I was just thinking this morning about what you said here.

Outwardly language is the interface card we humans use to communicate and exchange with one another but language can suffer distortions and persecution. We speak English now because of political persecutions. In just under 200yrs we have become so eloquently profficient in the use of English that some of us even teach English to the descendants of those that brought it to us from UK....on their own soil!

Three factors help displace language -
1. Migration caused by trade
2. Civilization caused by politics
3. War caused by religion.

No language is in its original anymore. There has been a lot of word distortions, along with their meanings. What persists today of ancient traditions is spirituality.

Unlike language, which is outward, spirituality is inward.

Yoruba is a spiritual race. Our culture and customs are tenacious and immune to the outcome of our displacements in 1) migration, 2) civilization, 3) war.

This explains why we are able to tie traces between us and afroasia. Also why our footprints in Bahia, Cuba, Haiti, America remain resilience...even when others shipped along with us to those foreign soils are history.

Those who use language to find congeniality between us and kwa are jokers.

Any study to explore Yoruba roots need a spiritual approach.....that is the study of our spirituality, not necessarily a practice of it. In same way some can study and become specialist on Islam without at all being a muslim.


Moving on....
I hear you say Osumare is rainbow? Is it really?

I will follow up soon. grin

They offered a compromise to Sowore in prison to abandon revolution he turned it down. Sowore gave FG conditions that he would not come out unless his other comrades were equally released. Sowore has not fled.

When they offered compromise to MKO in prison to abandon his mandate he turned it down. MKO was in fact told to go abroad, he refused.

When they offered compromise to Awo in prison to dismantle his opposition he turned it down. Awo would not come out unless his associates were also released. Those that jailed Awo later went to seek forgiveness from him.


When they offered compromise to Kanu to abandon biafra public rally he accepted it as condition of his release. He came out and did not even look back to seek release of his comrades. They are still in lockup.

Ojukwu fled and when offered a condition of rwturn to abandon biafra he accepted it.

When your bogus and fraudulent IGR stats favour you like the nominal GDP rubbish from 2017, you applauded it, you post it on NL everyday, month after month, year after year, but now that another IGR stats from the same NBS doesn't favour you, you changed story to discredit stats from the same people that you love to quote everyday. grin grin grin

Btw, the discussion is about your poor and wretched anambra village going inside shalanga with 50% IGR drop, not about okonjo or whatever diversionary ipob tactics you're trying to hide under.

So, going by your ignorant and village square 2 year old baby analogy that some states don't report their true IGR figures, it is safe to conclude that your nominal rubbish from 2017 wasn't real, wasn't legit and should be discounted since other states did not release their true IGR figures? grin grin

Well informed. Please, is there anyway, you can post the Hebrew's classic ideograms to Ard ? Reason being that many dictionaries to Classic Hebrew lexicon have slightly different view on the meaning which is due to figurative expression or seemingly not well translated or wrongfully translated.

Meanwhile, I know Dana and many others exist in Classic Hebrew dictionaries but the interpretation are at times in variance or not incomformity or even loosely related to Yoruba's word or words. So, I just want to see the ideogram for it if you have it.

Yes bro. Ok, so Ive participated on variants of this same topic but in different and older threads. It happens that this particular thread has sustained much longer than the others, which I personally like in the sense we have just one container to deposit knowlesge instead of opening new threads and having knowledge scattered around. So this thread and its continuity is a good thing, we ought to keep it.

Now, there is no thread or discussion group I participated in which I have not disclosed that I am using sound and the esoterism of sound....in other words the meeting point of ether (thoughts) and material (action). There is a ritual involved....which is the dedication of self (thoughts) to earth (material). A part of us follows through and kiss the forehead to the ground....."isojude"! When a force is present to accept the ritual....that force we call "sigidi".

The intersection and interaction of geomagnetic waves with cosmic waves define certain fields referred as "Ley Lines". These ley lines our ancestors capture to site shrines and bury certain sacred items. In our own Yoruba language they are the Idus that I talked about. Eredu/Eredo being a prominent. In Semitism they are called Ard. In fact, old Mesopotamia also had a place called Eridu/Eredu.

There are probably ideograms that will explain everything and further put things into perspective but I do not know quite honestly. I have followed your use of Hebrew alphabets to break words down, i follow and understand what the alphabets are. I went to a arabic school as a little boy and learnt to read and write the quran in arabic. So I am not unfamiliar with the exercise and the usage of alif, kasra, dawma and hamza as diacritic vowels. I just have a different style and approach to the whole issue of origin.

I am not sure we are making as good a progress as was in beginning....distractions have robbed the thread of good pace.

Peace bro....and you are doing a hell lot of good job and with great new information.

Blessings to you!

Anambra is a very poor and grossly unproductive state, it's even one if then poorest in the SE, their budget is one of the lowest in that region hence why you hardly see Obiano commission anything serious or beyond mediocre and village level.

The top IGR state in that region is Enugu, but we don't see Enugu people making noise and beating chest all over the internet, only the noise, unintelligent and shallow comedians from anambra with their poor IGR and bogus states that they don't even understand.
Wallahi, true!

Abia is most productive but their economy is largely informal.....high concentration of skilled labourers and very few corporate and industrial plants. Quite naturally informal markets are also informal in tax incomes. Therefore Abia looses chunk of revenue due to tax dodgers and lack of collection points.

They need to replicate in Abia what Lagos has done with its informal markets. Lagos appointed an Iyaloja that have subs at each market to collect revenue. There is NURTW Chairman that have subs and licenced operators that collect road levy.

I dare to say Oluomo is far more organized and structured in his street operations....and effective....than say Income Revenue Offices of states in East.

I try going to budgit to check what metrics they used to conclude the sustainability index and I am vindicated.

The below is what they wrote about what they used:

”In this report, Lagos leads the fiscal sustainability index, followed by Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Kano states. Access to audited statements brought out some facts on the true state of recurrent expenditure in focus states. We discovered states, such as Delta, running huge recurrent expenditure reaching N200bn. Bayelsa, despite its size and population, has a high recurrent bill as high as N137bn, compared with Ebonyi with a recurrent bill of N30bn, Sokoto (N38bn), Jigawa (N43bn), Yobe (N35bn), etc. It is a recurring theme to see states in South-South Nigeria running high recurrent bills, mainly driven by the high revenues earned due to the 13% derivation.”


Can you see what I said earlier about the sustainability index and how you shouldn’t bandy it around as a measure of economy like the Real GDP, IGR, and etc?

Check the second chart for monthly revenue for each state. Can you see Anambra has low revenue, very low revenue which showed the state is all hype. The only thing helping them is that they have low recurrent bills.

I am teaching you all this for free coz I know they won’t teach you in the mushroom schools you attend in upper Iweka.
NGpatriot:
He actually doesn't read the rubbish he peddles all over the place, it's even very easy to use his own rubbish against him.
Anambra's deficiencies have long remained hidden under the flawed "federal character" acts.

For a long time, and under military, the media had a mandate to paint picture of presumed unity amongst the regions by introducing quota representation in output.

Lets say we are looking for top five performers in a category, if 1 through 5 are all in SW and 6 is in SS.....if they were reported like that, leaving out North, the media will not get endorsements, which they needed for profit and market penetration. So they will compromise the result to please the center.

The way they did was to report top performers from each region, rather than top performers nationally. This is results padding!

The true result is 5 from SW and 1 from SS.

What we see in news will be 2 from SW, 1 from SS, 1 from SE, 1 from NW.

This responsiveness in business expediency has become a norm. Underperforming regions do not have any incentive to rise to top.....they are assured of a top position automatically.

With entry of independent analytics from people like budgit, nairametrics and scrutiny from independent statisticians in social media......the media houses are moving away from "quota placing" to "actual ranking".

This is why little and "deficient" states like Anambra which for a long time were shown rubbing neck with top performers like Lagos, Ogun, Akwa Ibom, Kano....can now be seen for what they truly are.

You notice always placing Anambra behind Lagos. Truth of matter is, Anambra is behind few states in SE. When conpared nationally, Anambra is in peerage with Zamfara, Gombe, and so on...far underneath Lagos, Ogun, Oyo.
