cocoa, start by eradicating osu caste.  that will be a good start. . . learn from Yoruba why a non-prejudiced marriage is good for building social inter-relations.  After that come and lean islam and re-learn christianity from us.

cocoa, take that grievance to your brother that authored the article. He seems to disagree with you.

Yoruba is a model of GOD worship for both Islam and Christianity in Nigeria because of Ifa.  The father of Christianity and Islam, Abraham himself practiced Ifa.  So our consciousness is already soaked and attuned to GOD-consciousness.  

We inter-marry amongst ourselves because we dont believe in caste system like you in iboland.  We dont have osu slaves that are forbidden to marry free blood.  We dont have that nonsense!  The author should have included that as well as another lesson ibo should learn from Yoruba.

Shut Up!! see your brothers shedding alligator tears for Florida. They cry for Naija nobody listen to them, them go cry for OAU no one paid them attention, them go UN go cry no response, now they carry go Tampa go dey shed tears. Should we call the people of MidWest to come and join lament wetin your fathers take dem eye see? Na only you get tears or na only you suffer war?

Onyiochi!!

At the time of the surrender, Efiong believed that the situation was hopeless and that prolonging the conflict would have led only to the further destruction and starvation of the people of Biafra.

This guy Effiong is who Biafra should be worshipping. Listen to his wisdom in this quote. Ibo no sabi politics. . . in the arena of politics you all are deadbrain. See and follow example of Calabar man to see what savvy people do when cornered and all options for self-defense are gone. You don't continue a lost fight and you dont turn your back and flee. . . no, you stay and negotiate your preservation.

Dayo, I agree, Effiong is the true warrior and his clan people ought to raise their head high in pride. Ojukwu was. . . . oh shyyt, is he buried yet before I complete this sentence? Yeye people, go put that guy in ground so I can speak.

Adekunle sef na big trouble maker. He dey purposely look for wahala. . . .why hin name goat Ojukwu? That man no dey fear anybody.

homerac, dont analyse it. If they don't speak we criticize, if they speak we still criticise,

In an Hadith, it was revealed that the Prophet Muhammad, (SAW) would join the funeral procession of a deceased muslim to the cemetry.  If it was a Christian or a Jew, he would stop all activities and commanded his followers to stand with him in respect as the funeral passed through with the deceased.  

This is a good response and I think Next Friday at Jumaat, it will be nice followup for the different mosques to give prayer service to the souls of the victims of this carnage.

Welcome to the post.

There is a series on Yoruba history and roots and has been ongoing now for about two years. It was started on the simple question of teaching through dialogue the history, customs, arts, rituals and religion of the Yorubas. So far a lot of ground has been covered and many people have benefitted from learning in here knowledge that they could not have found or acquired anywhere else. There was strong concern about exercising care and caution, about how the message will be disseminated and protected against egotistic interests. Most of the approach has been gentle and keeping in-step with what the audience is ready to absorb. We drew border lines on what is safe for public consumption and what is better left in the secret vaults, hidden from public gaze. When it seems a revelation is too shocking and brings a backlash, we back off. There has also been plenty individual contributors who are suddenly empowered and energized to join in and do the research and revelation on their own. Your contributions are most appreciated and we send you a sincere "Thank You" Anonymous, Amor4ce, Physics Thank You guys. Thanks also to many others who antagonized the efforts and unknowingly incited us to reveal even more at far deeper level than originally intended.

Our pace is one knowledge area per year, lol! Over the past two years we covered the person of Lamurudu, his roots and people and the ultimate migration from the East to Yorubaland and as well shared on the established Seven States and what they stood for. We attempted to reveal certain secrets contained in Genesis in the Bible and do a side by side with revelations in Ifa Corpus and share with you the monotheism of Ifa religion as well prove that Noah and Abraham practiced Ifa. That effort could not be completed without unveiling certain esoteric aspects of the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - which at this time are best left alone. So for next year we have a new topic and ground to cover. We want to see where else the Yoruba footprint can be found outside the mainstream Yoruba commonwealth. Our first stop is Sokoto.

Not to brag, when I was in North, my sister and I attended different schools but we both were in attendance with royal bloods. We fraternered together, they were welcome in our house and we were no strangers in their homes. From there I learnt a lot about Arewa, the Caliphate and the Emirates. I also gained a lot of knowledge about Kanem.

In case some of you are wondering why I am bringing this topic into discussion now, it's because your mind is ripened by political events in the country and you will not be shocked by this discussion and what it would reveal.

Is there any of you that know that the Sultans in Sokoto understand and speak Yoruba and do you know why they speak Yoruba? Share what you know with us.

Suggesting a first split into North-South before a second split into East-West infer that the individual East, West region cannot independently resolve the dividion without the assist of the other. It also gives the appearance that the North is a formidable force and in addition to the cooperative of the two, East and West, a third and external party is also needed to supervise the division and security.

Am I correct, is this what you intended?

@post,

If GEJ was a Northerner, going by his statements alone we would have concluded that he works for Boko. But because he is a Southerner and a Christian, we are reluctant to make the link or to suspect the possibility.

Let me divert a little bit and go to another story on terrorism. , . . does anyone in here know how and why America gained access to Osama's whereabout and was then able to ambush and kill him? Most people think American intelligence sniffed Osama out. Wrong! Who blew the cover on Osama and why?

A similar dynamics is playing out here between GEJ and North, . . .excuse me, Arewa!

In saying Allah, boko is using the original designation for the creator of the world.

If you were blessed to learn the Bible in its original Aramaic, you will be like boko haram calling on Allah as well. Do you not know this?

about which part? I will be wrong to say I know what future holds. I cannot contest your claim that the worse is yet to come but I am not sure that lumping Yoruba with all those other people you mentioned reverses the situation.

ahh, you no serious. . . . You want get someone"s pikin slaughtered by sss. Why you no lead the way?

Shango, but isn't this a domestic problem we are talking about? What is the need to involve UN? There is no problem affecting West that OPC cannot resolve at moment. . . . I dont know about future events, but at moment, bruh, trust me. . . . OPC is on it!

I dont know how about East or anywhere else, maybe they need UN but no, we dont need UN in West. Beyond Nigeria, Yorubaland stands on its own. . . no more amalgamation.

mcheww, nna, me chionu for that foolish response. I go knock the eze title out of ya brain. did you accept the title or not?

A proposal to form a State consisting of a massive Christian block, a tolerant Polity and Society toward the more progressive Muslims
of the South and traditional religions.

It would range from Lagos and the Benin Republic border in the West to the Cameroon border in the East. It would also extend to
parts of Kwara in the North and spread across parts of the Middle Belt up to Jos.

Are you speaking for OPC or for yourself? Nothing happens in Yorubaland outside a political consultation and consensus reached first amongst the commonwealth and agreed to by our human rights group, OPC.

Ojukwu died on November 26 and would be buried on February 2 next year

I really dont know wtf you keeping him frozen this long for. . . . .hurry up and put him in the soil.

Jonathan may be a dunce when it comes to wiping Boko out but he ain't stupid and definitely not going to be a walk over to kick him out of office with the kind of initiatives you are proposing Evil. You hear me? Come up with a better plan that does not include "if we fail".

My plan is to attempt to recall Jonathan and Sambo. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that to do so, you have to collect a certain number of signatures on a recall petition to force INEC to hold a referendum. If you can get >50% of the vote in that, then Jonathan ceases to be president. The senate president would become acting president and will have to organize a byelection within 90 days like someone mentioned above.

There's never been a better time to do this. Practically everybody is sick and tired of Jonathan and his party. If we succeed, we could have a new, non-PDP president by the middle of next year. If we fail, at least the politicians will have learnt that the ordinary Nigerians are to be feared and respected.

They will never try to pull a stunt like removing subsidy while spending billions on food and jumbo salaries again.

I'm going to talk to my lawyer friends tomorrow to find out what is needed.

Wooo, . . . dude, slow down!!! IF we fail

Kobo, will you for GOD's sake stop encouraging this guy's impulsiveness? You want to get him and a bunch of his supporters killed?

@Last bolded, why are you even obsessing over my new title?
Does it change anything?

I have many bones to pick with you but first lets talk about this title. So you contested for a title and won, right? Fools like Ezeuche, AndreUweh, Ngodigha "the brute", igbo boy, chyz and the rest of them made you an Eze of Igbo people on NL, is that right? . . . and you accepted it, eh?

you see, oyb, nigerian elites borrow phrases from the western media spin book to address situation on ground.  they dont believe in their own words but they are coached by pr handlers that this is what works for the national psyche.  

its sad but i hope gej's ineptitude will not win sympathisers for boko's claim that western education is a waste.

Personally, I don't think that any serious Easterner, mid-westerner or even middle belter, is looking westwards for anything. We are occupied with our own plans. The time for talk would soon be over.

oh no, i must have missed this one. has biafra apologized for desecrating midwestern land yet? i keep saying this, ibos are politically inept, always putting the cart before the horse. the savvy thing to do is first apologize to midwesterners, then you seek their alliance.

besides, onlytruth, i hear you have a title now. is this true?

Evil,

good topic!

One big problem we're facing is that even if we were able to get rid of GEJ, there are no obvious candidates to replace him.

I like oyb's response. We should stop replacing problem with problem. Everyone is blaming the President but really our voice is aggregated in the House of Reps and we must demand action from bottom up. We need to light fire under HoR and create a bottom up accountability and sensitivity.

@Negro. Is it true because i'm working on Quotes from Patience Jonathan. That shouldn't be termed an insult. Does it?

Hey chip, you on your own bruh, me no know you o Noawadays man pikin no sabi which be rumor which be tru for naija. . . . . in fact I hear they called it "Patience Law". lmao, ridiculous!! When Negro become President the law will be amended to "ThiefOfHearts Law" and jail term reduced to 20yrs imprisonment ffor any person that gawk at TOH's chest or ikebe.

Ask Beaf to verify authenticity on the law. . . he is on payroll. hahahaha, oh Chineke!!

Women are still virtous even today. What we detest in our women is onlly a reflection of our own immorality and perversion for their bodies. We demand it, they supply it! We can influence the manner in which the exchange occur simply by modifying our own approach and approval. Women are fine, men are just bad and hell bent on staying bad!

If we open the original gospel and read it we will find that even the scribes and Jesus  believed in Allah.  

Jesus did not write but he preached and the scribes wrote their witnessings of his traditions.  Jesus and the cribes did not know the word GOD because they did not speak the language in which the Bible was ultimately rendered and preached to Nigerian Christians.  If you had been taught the Bible in its original Aramaic language you would have come to realize the meaning of Allah.  If you do not believe in Allah then you do not believe in Jesus preach about the Father in heaven and you are only following in the teachings of Romans scribes, and not in that of the Aramean and Jewish scribes.  You are as ignorant of your Christian religion as the author of this Boko statement is of Islam.

At the end of the day, evolution does a pretty good job of weeding out the idiots. A girl that's foolish enough to marry a guy only because of his height deserves whatever she gets. Most girls are smarter than that. Height is probably #3 or #4 on the list (as long as he isn't a midget). Who wants to marry a tall monster that'll beat her to death? LOL

Moremi, ah, thank you o! I dont know why people are obsessed with height? GOD created us all in diversity. Its a good thing your friend recognised that height is not everything and im glad she is happily married.

Girls beware, most of the guys here talking about their 6' are short- they are either at average height or below. A 5'7 gets on internet and become 6'7. . wth!

Moremi, o se o jare!

rotflmao!! I tell you, buzugee, you are a fool. aaah, dem go kill persin for NL.

Did you hear the law that gives 5yrs for embarassing the first lady? You just earned yourself 5 yrs with the beans. . . .

If you guys wonder how religious riots start in North, this is it . . . . you are here rioting amongst yourselves on the name ALLAH.

ekt said he does not believe in Allah, he never said nobody else can believe in Allah. A simple expression of free will! so, how did it explode to all these back and forth accusations and blood letting?

Can you all stop your riot?

lmao@baba's comment. They detonate the ink in their pens, sending shrapnels of pain and humiliation into the hearts of their opponents!!

The generation you advocate as replacement have no solid plan. That's the pain!
