How Traditional Religion Can Help You Today Today. Your Church Can't Do This! If you feel like your life is not going the way you want it to go, Go and visit a respected traditional priest. He will sit you down, and in a Divining session, tell you your LIFE PURPOSE on this Earth. You are an immortal soul who came here on a mission, but you've forgotten what it is. Once he tells you your MISSION in this particular incarnation you made (because you've made many), all you need to do is pursue that MISSION with vigour, and in doing that, you will gain the solutions to ALL the problems you are experiencing. Every single problem. It's a very simple thing. Latter-day religions like christianity and islam know nothing about this. Your pastor knows nothing about this. Your imam knows nothing about this. This is pure African religion. The original and first religion on Earth telling you this. Have a good day. |
RandDigital:STUPID DUNCE. TENS OF MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS ENJOY HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS, THAN YOUR TINY POPULATION OF SUBJUGATED BLACKS WHO OWN NOTHING IN YOUR COUNTRY. YOU OWN A CAR, HOUSE. … SO WHAT? YOU THINK NIGERIANS DON’T OWN CARS AND HOUSES? STUPID DONKEY FROM SOWETO FEELING FUNKY. |
RandDigital:You forgot that South Africa is the rape capital of the world, with 500,000 women raped each year by South Africa men. And you wonder why your women can’t stand you, and want only Nigerian men? ALL YOU CAN DO IS RAPE THEM BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER. South Africa is also the crime capital of Africa, with Johannesburg the carjacking and armed robbery capital of the continent. |
RandDigital:Don’t you have a POLICE FORCE? What kind of STUPID COUNTRY ARE YOU that when people commit offences, you completely IGNORE and ABSOLVE your police and intelligence officers who should be handling the offenders, and instead attack and insult the nationality of the offenders? You are beyond STUPID in that country. It’s easy to see how Europeans found you so easy to exploit and dominate. Una no get sense. |
malali:I met one South African babe in a bar in London a few years ago. Once she knew I was Nigerian, kai, omo, this babe got so friendly, took me to her flat and fcked the crap out of me same day. And she was married in South Africa! |
naptu2:Sorry but those are foreign invaders’ religions. Why should govt spend a single kobo on them? Our traditional religion is very different. We must honour and reconnect officially with our ancestral heritage, or we are still a colonised people. We are not English. We are not Arabs. We are Africans, and Proudly so. |
Raf4:Not sure what you mean bro… The Africans in early Asia were settlers from Africa. |
Goodlyhrt:EMPTY HEAD, WHO TOLD YOU AFRICANS KEPT NO RECORDS? HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE TIMBUKTU MANUSCRIPTS? DO YOU REALISE THERE ARE OVER 2 MILLION VOLUMES OF WEST AFRICAN MANUSCRIPTS DATING FROM THE 9TH CENTURY? COVERING EVERY SUBJECT FROM ADVANCED MATHEMATICS TO MEDICINE TO BIOLOGY TO ARCHITECTURE TO ASTRONOMY, TO LAW AND PHILOSOPHY? OUT OF WHICH 60,000 VOLUMES HAVE BEEN DIGITISED AND ARE ACCESSIBLE ONLINE? DO YOU REALISE WE HAD PRE-COLONIAL UNIVERSITIES IN WEST AFRICA THAT WERE ATTENDED BY STUDENTS FROM ACROSS AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE? HAVE YOU HEARD OF SANKORE UNIVERSITY, MALI, ESTABLISHED IN THE 11TH CENTURY? YOU NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE A DISGRACE. YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHO YOU ARE. COMPLETELY IGNORANT. THAT’S WHY YOU FEEL SO INFERIOR, AND IT’S SAD. |
Goodlyhrt:SLAVE, IF YOUR ANCESTORS CIVILISED EUROPE, AS WE CAN SEE THEY DID, THEN SHUT UP AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT, OKAY? THEY DID NOT SWEAR FOR YOU TO HATE YOURSELF AND YOUR HERITAGE AND FEEL INFERIOR. DISGUSTING, PATHETIC THING. ..........................................

Paraman:You think I'm a small boy like you who doesn't know his history? All over Europe today are STATUES of the black Africans who ruled them for nearly 1,000 years between 711 and the 1500s. These blacks were known as the Moors. The Moors took education and learning to Europe. Helped lift them out of their Dark Ages. Built universities there. Do you know we had universities in West Africa over a thousand years ago?

I trust the Tinubu adminstration to deliver. Good days lie ahead. |
Paraman:THEY were also run or influenced by black Africans. You people need to understand that black Africans civilised the world. Africans sailed the world in ships and settled everywhere thousands of years before Europeans left their caves. The original Greeks were black Africans. The original Egyptians and Hebrews were black Africans. The original Chinese, Japanese, and Indians, were black Africans. If you research their artefacts you will see numerous representations of the original black emperors of these places. For instance, these from the ruins of Angkor Wat, in the ancient black African empire of KHMER, in modern-day Cambodia. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/41/70/f3/4170f3c90dcdf5fd4d3cf7092bf75ab5.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6e/92/47/6e9247fa2fd05272e470d43b5d496c47.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/27/ce/0a/27ce0ad61bcb9e3cca3802de2e1f82aa.jpg |
Menclothing1:It's a matter of time. Whatever happens in Lagos always spreads to the rest of Nigeria. This is why we say Lagos is the Economic Capital of Nigeria. There was a time you could only see flyovers in Lagos. Nowhere else. Today even Abakaliki and Gombe have flyovers. Come back here in the next 15 to 20 years, and this intra-city rail will be in EVERY STATE. |
emkz:God bless you for this patriotic comment. Other states need to step up their game, for real. Are they not in the same Nigeria as Lagos state? |
So South Africa legalised weed? So what are we waiting for? |
Here is a report by the UK Guardian regarding the Ancient Benin Kingdom from around the 14th century. ............... ''Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace. When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”..... Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world. Benin City, 17th Century https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DhFQSSxX0AADqSb.jpg In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown, and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.” In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”. African fractals Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns. As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.” At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them.... “Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.” Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”. What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city. Immediately European nations saw the opportunity to develop trade with the wealthy kingdom, importing ivory, palm oil and pepper – and exporting guns. At the beginning of the 16th century, word quickly spread around Europe about the beautiful African city, and new visitors flocked in from all parts of Europe, with ever glowing testimonies, recorded in numerous voyage notes and illustrations. Now, however, the great Benin City is lost to history. Its decline began in the 15th century, sparked by internal conflicts linked to the increasing European intrusion and slavery trade at the borders of the Benin empire..... Then in 1897, the city was destroyed by British soldiers – looted, blown up and burnt to the ground.''

DukeNija:Look at this mumu. Why couldn't 'Jesus' save you from defeat by Nigeria in 1967-70? Why haven't you thrown away your bible after 'Jesus' failed to create Biafra for you or a post-British Nigerian EL-DORADO? DO YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE THE BRITISH CAME WITH 'JESUS', WE DID NOT BUILD FRONT DOORS TO OUR HOUSES? Not even the large houses of the nobility? Why? Because THEFT was unknown. GO AND ASK YOUR ELDERS IF YOU DON'T KNOW. Today with ''JESUS AND MUHAMMAD IN CHARGE'', can you build a house without barbed wire high fencing with CCTV and iron gates, plus iron bars on your windows? Here is a report by the UK Guardian on the Ancient Benin Kingdom from around the 14th century, Just to show you that you have been MISEDUCATED about your past. ...............

Tobokongs:Good man. Wise man ![]() |
yosmen:Wow. You are a hard man to please. Perhaps these classical temple designs reminiscent of ancient Benin, Nubia and Kemet may meet your standards a bit more? ![]() https://i.pinimg.com/736x/fb/ef/f2/fbeff2259499d122e351910b0d61f2ac.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6e/cf/a4/6ecfa4b05c8f0fad0dd3df86c54d4119.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e6/f7/d1/e6f7d163b2a13ce45e849d52bc49f007.jpg |
DiamondsAreFore:You are the one who is unintelligent. Perfectly happy to have invader cathedral and mosques, but frown on your own ancestral religion. YOU don't get to decide what is a stupid idea. YOU ASK THE TRADITIONALISTS. If they say yes, as I'm 100% sure they will, we build it. If you actually knew anything about ATR, you would know it is essentially ONE RELIGION with different denominations like you have in your foreign invader religions. There are many different muslim and christian denominations in Nigeria. But they all gather in the National Cathedral and National Mosque in Abuja to worship, regardless. Traditional religionists will do the same. No be only una get sense. |
TINUBUNOMICS IS SHOWING SIGNS OF SUCCESS. KUDOS TO MR PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM. This is the type of thread that can never smell front page, but if it’s Naira falling in value, it will be No.1 on front page. |
ovie8200:Do you know how many were killed in America yesterday? You only heard about this man because he is famous. |
Tizmamoney:Thanks jare… These ones represent the last vestiges of colonial indoctrination. |
Basicend:No foreign gods came to Nigeria. The British came with guns and bombs. And gave you a “holy book” to read while robbing your land of its resources for a century to enrich their country. Who told you that a deity was a magician that could stop armies? Do you blame Jesus and Muhammad for the problems of today? Banditry, terrorism etc? Mental midget typing rubbish. |
Basicend:The only filthy, nasty god I see is your bible god who orders the massacre and rape of innocent people. Have you read the Old Testament? It’s a complete horror show. That’s Not the Creator as known to Africans. And Africa is the Cradle of Civilisation. We know who God is. And if you don’t blame Jesus over something going wrong, don’t open your slave lips to blame African deities when something goes wrong either, such as your military defeat. |
freshvine:The real horror is watching you Christians performing ritual cannibalism when you “eat the flesh of Christ and drink his blood”. I bet you didn’t know that came straight from PAGAN RITUALS. No, our modern updated traditional religion will not engage in such gory activity like you. |
DukeNija:It IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A DUMB SLAVE THAT YOU DEMAND AFRICAN RELIGION PERFORMS SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES OF THE TYPE YOU NEVER DEMAND OF INVADER RELIGIONS. Why have you not expressed the same disgust for CHRISTIANITY in the face of its ABJECT FAILURE to solve ANY PROBLEM we have TODAY? WHERE IS THE BLAME FOR “JESUS”? WHY ARE YOU NOT CALLING HIM “FALSE AND WEAK”? Brainwashed head. |
Basicend:What imbecilic nonsensical reasoning, When Biafra was defeated in war did you blame ‘Jesus’ for it? For not saving you? DID YOU CALL HIM USELESS JESUS, SINCE HE WAS USELESS AGAINST NIGERIAN ARMY? IS MUHAMMAD AND ALLAH Not Useless JUST LIKE YOUR “Jesus”? Why can’t they stop banditry, kidnapping, corruption and terrorism? Of course your white “saviour” can promise “Ask and you shall receive!” But you don’t blame him and call him a liar when you don’t receive, do you? DO YOU? Colonised head. By the way we fought a FULL FLEDGED CIVIL WAR BEFORE FESTAC, losing millions of lives. WHO DO WE BLAME FOR THAT, “Jesus”?? |
