Good Old Days. I remember. Ọlọrunlugo and I think Hallelujah Yah Lateef or something. Lawanson to CMS those days. I have not been to Lawanson in the last twenty years though. |
We can just guess where you are from. |
Nairasports01:Yeah, I am a Chelsea fan though. I will miss him |
None. Each manages the evil if his time |
They may appoint Enzo Maresca. He is a good coach. |
Just bring in a thousand male Muslim and four thousand female Muslims from Northern Nigeria, in fifty years, South Korea will be 60% blacks, filled with almajiris. |

There is general misuse and mispresentation of prophecy among black folks. In every African setting, we grew up to know a soothsayer, fortune teller, marabout everywhere. In every African setting, this reality predated foreign religions in our midst. Even now, there is still confusion amongst the practitioners of the Abrahamic faiths in Africa. When the religion brought to us cannot match our spirituality, people resort to admixtures of the imported and the natives. Pastors, alfas go back home to bring from the wealth of spirituality to establish the Newfounded faith. This was the basis of the spiritual churches. It is just a practice of seeing a dibia, babalawo or any name they are called among individual natives. The same is brought into Pentecostalism, the latest emergent form of Christianity. We have not totally divorced from our roots. That being said, prophecy is merely for information. Information now has grades. Information on what has happened, what will surely happen, and what may or may not happen depending on conditions. When certain prophecies are released, they can be absolute decisions from God that are definitely determined to happen. Others may be changeable by prayers,. Hezekiah's case is an example. Jesus talked about the suffering of the latter days and out a proviso , ' pray that the days are cut short....' During the election of Tinubu, many prophecies were flying, I was telling people that none of these people's prophecies would come to pass. My reason, we all have access to God and can ask Him to change His mind. In fact, prophecy in this situation is a call for prayers and motivation to appeal to God. Hezekiah did against Isaiah who predicted accurately, the birth of Jesus Christ. The prophecy was changed. In the same vein, prayer still changes the disposition of God to man today. D Can we now say no man can hear from God. Absolutely no. As a youth, I almost scattered a church by prophecies. I was fasting for more than half of the year and I had inspirations. I was just a zealous young person who enjoyed hearing and seeing. These days, I am wiser, I don't say things or like to code like Pastor Adeboye. Primate Olabayo used to be very accurate those days. I mean thirty years ago and beyond, so was T.B. Joshua, Tibetan Marcus. I don't follow them these days. The mispresentation and misuse has not invalidated prophecies. I am more concerned about Adeboye. I was in the camp when he prophesied that nobody would be successful, planning a coup against Abacha. I remember him telling is to warn our families in the military that year. Then the phantom coup happened. The prophecy was direct. These days, he codes his prophecies like Nostradamus Mitchell. |
RainMoreDFARMS:You do my dear. I prophesy, ' Sun will rise from the East tomorrow.' Do you believe?😂😂😂😂 |
Ezeama400:Civilization is an evolving thing. You can borrow whatever is good from other tribes to add to your own. That is how we roll. I am Yoruba married to a Yoruba woman. I adopted some fanciful Igbo names for my children having not slept a day in any Igbo place. While the king is not wrong, I like us to remove tribalism from the equation. We are related. The Victorian wedding we do in the church today is not our culture and the garments worn for it. |
Irony of life: Nigerians are looking onto USA for deliverance from insurgencies, Ugandans are looking onto Nigerian men for kpekus. ![]() ![]() |
H DomPerignon:Why are they not better now? |
I recently discovered that there is a chapter on 'Cow' in the Quran. Whatever led to its revelation, cow has been linked to Nigeria Islamization agenda. Herdsmen are in ancestral lands all over the country, terrorizing and strategizing jihadist's attacks and usurpation of lands and installation of caliphs. Surah Cow is strategic to Islamic spread in Nigeria. |
Islam induced Illiteracy is the problem of the Northern Nigeria. The only cure is regional government or disintegration. The northern Nigeria will have the Quran to live on. The North will have to grope in darkness for years. Islam has destroyed them. |
As a Chelsea fan, our problem, my problem is trophies and presence in Champions League One coach, one session, on trophy. Trophy is life, trophy is patience, trophy is friendship. Trophy is Chelsea Siamese twin sister. Chelsea is trophy Wishing Maresca the best. |

Man invented measurements. Days, weeks, months, years, classes, titles, grades, ....from visible things, invisibly tangible properties like current, weights, heights, pressure, heart beats, blood counts, body counts..... All were invented for man to be his better self, to compete, for planning,for assessment, to reenergize, to advance..,..... I believe in all these. I believe in Monday as the beginning of working days, I believe in Friday as official end of working days, I believe in days of worship, I believe in the end of months for salary earners, I believe in the end of year, my own year to mark my day of birthday,and how long I have been around, I believe in physical changes from infancy to adulthood and everything in -- between. I believe in a new determination at the beginning of a new session. I believe in a improvement over the previous planting season. I believe in New Year. I believe in Resolutions. Resolution to aspire. Resolution stop bad habits Resolution be a better me Resolution to serve humanity better. Those of us who believe in Resolutions believe we want to conquer vices, enshrine virtues. I have never seen anyone that made a New Year resolution to become worse. If resolution is to be better. I believe it absolutely. Happy New Year, every nairalander. I see you succeed in your new year resolutions. Greater you, better you by December 31st 2026. |
This kind thing dey pain Muslim's pass |
I knew it. In my response in a similar post that the revered Ọba of Benin could not have desecrated his throne to be attending to one noisemaker somewhere. However, some overzealous people could be doing some stupid things in the name of palace. Long live our king. |
The marches today between Chelsea vs Bournemouth and Nigeria vs Uganda. As a real Chelsea fan and patriotic Nigerian, if the two are to be played at the same time, which would you watch? |
She should go and make her husband do restitution and send the ' strange woman' out of Churchill's house. ![]() ![]() ![]() Madam is getting old and her brain is undergoing a reset process. ![]() ![]() ![]() Congratulations anyway. |
Í thought Saudi Arabia didn't have army being a Holy Land. Bomb kwa? |
monex:The government has put all monarchs under Local Government since Abacha. It is not very easy for a king not to be partisan these days. We see how Adedibu prevented Ladoja or is it alAkala from paying the salary of olubadan in council. A monarch can pretend to support any government but not to be totally neutral. See the power tussle in Kano. There are two emirs in Kano today. Politicians are the first born of the devil. They must be dealt with with caution. |
We DeepSight:Ọba of Benin is a well referred king. You see some people doing wrong things in the name of the palace. If see certain behaviours if some people. They think they are exercising authority on behalf of the palace whereas they are painting dragging the culture elders built over ages in the mud. My take is , this genz people should not destroy the institution of our elders. Don't tarnish the King or the palace. Taking the fellow to the palace, I don't really think the Ọba has time to be attending to one unknown noisemaker somewhere. The sign of greatness is that someone must revile, abuse, talk against. See how Tinubu was abused before election. See how one fellow named his dog after Buhari, see many abuses skit makers made about Obasanjo. Trump is the most abused person today. May our Great Ọba of Benin live long and reign in health and prosperity. This overzealous people should please don't drag him to this nonsense that can bring shame to his throne. |
9 DeepSight:Thanks Jared. Rubbish must be chased out of our land. People look up to us as educated people, they even call us 'sophisticated'. We are the pride of the black race, decency is required from our bedrooms, market places, palaces and offices. We should not be celebrating mediocrity and take pride in it. Can you imagine King Charles of Great Britain involving himself in trivialities like these? |
DeepSight:Femi Fálànà |
DomPerignon:Hahahahaha. What is Benin in today's Nigeria? Produced the richest man or woman? President? Academic hub? Business hub? Old tradition hub. Hehehehehe. I live in Benin now with big housesb no roads. Lawlessness everywhere. Where is the improvement on the legacies before the advent of Portuguese? Keep living in fool's paradise. |
Osariemen12:Conclusion: barbarism is the other of the day in Benin. ![]() |
Maga123:Na everywhere, no be everywhere. The one that happened in Oyo, the palace has been charged to court. In Benin and the north, the monarchs are more powerful than the law being laws on their own. If care is not taking, Alaafin can collect. A king was deposed in Ogún State recently for a shameful behaviour. A principality of a lawyer has been hired against the palace. Yorubaland is more decent than the others mentioned. |
