TheUbermensch:
So your church encourages suicide?

Because i don't agree your pastor performs magic I should go commit suicide?

LMAO.

How old are you tho'? 12?

That comparison is an insult to 12 year olds around the world

divinecode102:
We don't really need you!

That's fine, but..

That is besides the point

I am saying that If Jesus is the Leader of the christian culture, and he is..

And you a christian, an ambassador, as you claim..

Then you are a poor representative of the tenets of that christian philosophy as taught by the prophet

In fact you do more harm than good to the christian mission

It is actually you the christian faith can do without

divinecode102:
Who is begging you

Alot of your members/brethren..

I laughed

I used to think the Christians were morally sound

I watched this thread, and 2 defenders of Mr Oyedepo here who should be christians...

Well I checked out their posting history on this forum

And the things I read.. Wow

I think it is wise to be weary of Christians in real life

I no longer see you people as the moral saints you portray yourselves to be

Most of you are extremely arrogant

I have met better Buddhists and Atheists

Thanks

divinecode102:
Faith without work is empty. Jesus was not laying hands on every p1gs and 1d1ots when he was alive. He only prayed and laid hands on people that believed him. Going to IDPs will be useless if he does not have the mandate.

Stop writing trash on nairaland and get serious with your life just for once

Wow,

The way you insult people

I do not think I can ever follow your God

Thanks

I have a problem with the nostalgic nationalism we are displaying here

What would the pride of Mongolia do for a present day Mongolian?

What about the Iranian of Ancient Persia?

Does national pride in their ancestral kingdoms do anything for them today? Except delusions of grandeur and unbridled pride and arrogance?

I would much rather learn from those great kingdoms of times past, be knowledgeable of their successes and failures and adapt them to create a more comfortable life for myself and my loved ones today!

A Quest for the Yorubas today. Learn how the Sungbo Eredo was Built in that ancient time. The technologies, the architecture as well. Then adapt them today to build greater Monuments

A quest for the Edos today. Learn how the Great Walls of Benin (Comparable in size to Great Walls of China By the way!) were built, what technologies were used, their architectures, and adapt them today to build greater Monuments

I do not like it

Mruwa1:
oga u too cute to rule Nigeria.. na ugly person we need abi u nor check the list of ex and present president of Nigeria

I do not condone a grown man calling another grown man “cute”

PearlStreet:
Tear the Quran, get beaten up and a fatwa issued on your head, get yourself arrested, enter station. Enter court, collect bail, come Lagos and seek asylum for religious persecution in Norway or Germany, asylum approved, enter Europe and begin better life.

Meanwhile in Kogi those fighting for Allah over tearing Quran are still living on less than 5 Dollars per day when a cow in the UK lives on 13 Pounds per day.

Those guys aren't Pastors, they're hustlers.

Whaaat!

A cow?

Those looking for romance should not come in, or stay in.

adetoroamos:
been broke is better than be rich and later broke. is not easy. I understand your feelings bro. and our black mentality here is to mock anyone that is rich before but later broke. I wish I sell all my investment here and route to abroad I mean where I won't see any of my families again. this time last year I used to dash people money but since my investment is no picking up this year like am really depressed but I know I will survive it.

Find something you love and do it!

Industry= Necessity Or Passion

Find a problem to solve around you or better yet find what you are passionate about and do it.

Either path would lead to industry

BabaRamota1980:
I believe you are positioning yourself as some kind of referee in an issue that is already decided and every Yoruba that has posted in here have said we are ready to stay deep and far into this, however long it goes, and will not back off before the opponent has yielded their ground.

You are wasting time making this a moorish-babaramota issue.

We have definitely not assigned a referee. If you are unable to wothstand whats going on please excuse yourself from the ttread.

We are not backing off before the other side. Period! If im the last man standing here...I will carry tje Yoruba staff till the END!

LOL

Actually I come here to learn new information and see how the "debate" is panning out

But I am always dissapointed to see more of a slug fest than an actual respectful dialogue

BabaRamota1980:
Yoruba knew this all along....this not new to us. Did Edo know that? Apparently they did not, with years of noisemaking on internet trying to force a hoax against the tide of history and culture.

Kindly address your instruction to them.

I enjoyed some of your posts, because you sound witty and funny

However, I do not care for this supremacy tussle you seem so enamored with

I do not feel accomplished when I belittle another culture

And you have chosen to belittle a culture that has respect around the globe

Unlike you, I draw pride in both Oyo and Benin Pre-colonial achievements

davidnazee:
Yes its all weird.. I think it is better its all kept secret.. Imagine the chaos if everything was revealed? the world as we know it will change..
beliefs, morality.. even humanity may be lost.

Me I wan know oh

I need to know truth

My greatest joy will be to travel inter-galactically

Earth is one rock

There are billion other rocks (earths) in this milky way galaxy alone

and there are billions of galaxies!

imagine the things out there?

Like green women with fat a.sses!

Wouldn't you like to bone a green woman bro loool

davidnazee:
Yes area 51 is true.. I live in North America.. most of the technology the US military uses are actually Alien technology... and there have been confirmed reports about alien sightings.. some weeks ago there was a report on CNN saying that we are not alone in the universe.. but they didnt analyse it further..
we are waiting for more revelations..

Those technologies do look alien for sure

There will be people in the know

The masses obviously would be denied access to these details

The peculiar thing about area 51 is that it will have to be in the middle of nowhere, and its workers/scientists would have to live and die there with no accesss to the outside world

some wild s.hit

@davidnazee do you know numerous ex USA military generals and army personell have come out to verify that aliens did land in the usa in the 50s??

And that area 51 is actually not a rumour?

Its all on youtube

But the US government want to suppress these things

They have pieces of alien craft and tech they are hiding and researching

davidnazee:
I watched a lot of credo mutwa videos.. The guy says some mad shit.. I actually believe we don't really know alot about the universe we are in.. There might actually be advanced civilizations greater than ours somewhere in the universe.. Most of the technology we use these days are believed to be alien technology.. Ever wondered how come in the thousands of years of human existence it took us just the past 100yrs to jump rapidly in technological advancement?

It is highly likely our first ancestors were banished to the isolated earth (Garden of Eden maybe?)

Because of some corrupt ways

I believe there is a galactic party somewhere in space we are not allowed to go to

Because of our arrogant and dangerous ways

The gods come in every now and then and reveal some light to us

Testing us to see...

Apparently we were only meant to use technology for beneficial purposes

That is why we Africans chose to live the way we do

But the European... chose to disobey

Haha some cool myths.. or fact! who knows!

All cultures always spoke of gods bringing advanced knowledge

alchemy, music, arts etc

maybe those are our allahs and jehovahs and oloruns..

who knows

BabaRamota1980:
Any ekladheran in the house is welcome to answer this simple question.

Babaramota, we cannot prove anything at this point

Our fathers did not write our histories

It is my word Vs yours

A very futile exercise

@davidnazee

My Benin friend once told me the walls of igodomigodo were built by a giant

He even knew the name of the giant, can't remember it

Have you heard this before?

davidnazee:
Just for humour sake: don't you think that all these sky gods these different tribes are talking about are actually aliens from advanced worlds who visited the planet in early times and showed themselves to the people at that time? There is actually talk about that in the science world.

Ancient Zimbabweans claimed they saw Ogun once in battle procession

He was apparently a Robot

He had gauges, cables, tubes as part of his body, he was 15 feet tall

He ran when they saw him and hid

I heard this from Credo Mutwa

Some mad s.hit bro

Nri's royal founder, Eri, is said to be a 'sky being' that came down to earth and then established civilization

<<<<That is Igbo>>>>

Benin, once known as Igodomigodo, was the kingdom of rulers who regarded themselves as sky-kings, those whose divine rule is derived from the sky – Ogiso

<<<That is Edo>>>

The gods of the Yoruba (called “orishas”) live in Orundu-nla, the sky. The first city of the Yoruba was Ife, founded by Obatala

<<This is Yoruba>>>

Don't you brothers see that there is a deep link!

Linguists have long posited that Yoruba, Edo, Igala and Igbo were one language 1500 years ago

Chew on that

davidnazee:
If you say the Yorubas created Ifa, then it is not real because it is the creation of man.. Ifa was brought to West Africa and choose to settle in Ife.. From there all Africans can tap from its power..

That's deep

davidnazee:
Nevertheless advice your brethren to leave the past and instead look at their present.. History doesn't favor them in comparison to Edos' history.. I admire the Yorubas present achievements not their history..

You can also admire some amazing achievements from Yoruba past

For instance

Borgu conquered us and exiled our king at some point

We re-organized, invaded Borgu and made Borgu a vassal.

The defeat of Borgu by Oyo was absolute

We were one of the first Africans, if not the first to use and invent the hand looms

We made fine clothed garments

We also created a mythology/religion of Ifa

Our organizational structure in Oyo Empire was also quite impressive

We had a monarch, who was not absolute but answerable to his chiefs

Similar to a modern multi-tier democratic government

steveosaz:
Moorish, you have earned a lot of respect here, I can tell you that. However, I think its time you chastised your brothers here engaging in foolery. Only fools fight unwinnable wars and that's exactly what they've been doing.

On this matter, the Edos are like mountains; no matter how hard you push, they'll never move. That's the sense of patriotism they have. Advise your people to stop engaging in a wild goose chase.

Peace.

Your people spawned an amazing civilization that all Africans can and SHOULD be proud of

Its highly reminiscent of Rome to me

I have always been proud of Benin from time immemorial

I also am partly Edo, I mean I was born in Edo lands and grew up around your folk.. So it will be sacriledge for me to be enemy of the land of my birth

The arguement is because our fathers never wrote down their histories

We were an oral history people

Lost in translation

I also plan on stealing some cool ideas from the ancient Edo Kingdom

Some gems you Edos have forgotten about

Thats how you build civilization

If I succeed you will all hear and see the things I speak of

davidnazee:
I think its better you Yorubas let the Edos celebrate their famous history and heritage and the Yorubas should celebrate and tout their present achievements which is also remarkable.. The Yorubas out of jealousy for Edos achievements are the only ones crying wolf.. You don't see Igbos or any other tribe coming out to vomit rubbish like the Yorubas..

I am not jealous of Edo's greatness

I am inspired by it

To my Edo cousins, Battle of Atakpamé

Research that

You said Oyo's were cowards

Well, I do not believe I am a coward, nor my brethren

My ancestors defeated the ashanti in battle. Battle of Atakpamé

We also subdued Dahomey.

I also admit that Benin Kingdom was a formidable force and I take great pride in that african kingdom as well

I will also admit that Oyo was less powerful than Benin when the white imperialist came here

Why?

Fulani invasion and internal fighting

Benin was the last to fall in Nigeria

So mad respect to Benin

However,

I think you guys had a lot of factors to your advantage

Territorial advantage

The fulanis did not have a clear path into benin

You also had alot of wealth in benin territory

Rubber, Palms

The white man wanted to trade with your fertile region

Nonetheless, you have alot to be proud of

So do my people

Peace brothers

Naive Africans

Nigeria = Jew slave vs Arab slave

I hate you all

Emeka Amaka

Igbo Amaka

That is f.ucking low

You have no honour

I am not from the deceased’s tribe either

Yian1:
You said he fought for your freedom, did he also fight for the freedom of victims during Adolf Hitler's reign. Did he also claim to be The Almighty?? Where is he now??

Selassie’s body was never found so I do not know where his imperial majesty is

He is constantly in my heart tho

Selassie told the Europeans they will fight a major war amongst themselves soon after oppressing Africa

That was the 2nd world war

He told them if they followed his teachings all man would live in peace

Please watch his address to the League of Nations

He never claimed to be a deity and told us no man can be a deity

The almighty God is a living man

Yian1:
Good, so my question for you is this, Did he create himself??

Him being the almighty to me, is my personal choice

And it is something I enjoy immensely when I pray to Jah

I love him, because he fought for the freedoms I have today

Read about selassie

Study Jah's teachings

Listen to the things he said to the League of Nations

Simple, yet everlasting teachings

Yian1:
owk..you an atheist or what?

No labels, no

I have a sentimental weakness for the last emperor of ethiopia

He was the father of post colonial africa

A true symbol of african pride at a time all african nations left and right had fallen to the guns of europe

the king of salem stood firm, and defeated the italian musolini in the battle of adowa II

His imperial majesty

King Haile Selassie 1 of ethiopia

That is the man who I revere
