Sap0:
we are descendants of obalufon, and some of us in our family still worship it.. do you know anything about obalufon?

Moorish:
Of the four best-known dark-skinned characters in Shakespeare's plays (Caliban in The Tempest, the Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice, Aaron in Titus Andronicus, and Othello), he referred to the latter two as blackamoors.

Even William Shakespeare knew black = moor

The white man has been trying for centuries to erase any likeness of black greatness and sovereignty from the minds of the people through the white washing of history and destruction of ancient artefacts

I pity blacks who follow the white man

They lack a knowledge of self

Hati13:
I thought you meant, sorry!

Olu317:
They were a different kind of black. The type without broad nose as found in Egyptians pyramid. And Islam came into to North Africa's Morocco later,when the conquered Egypt.This was how their history was erased because the Jihadists propagating Islam erase people's history with ‘holy war'.

RedboneSmith:
The very expression 'blackamoors' implies that not all Moors were black; otherwise 'blackamoor' would be tautological. Nobody says black Negroes for instance, because all Negroes are black; but people say black Africans because there are Africans of other colours.

'Blackamoor' suggests there are Moors of other colours.

Hati13:
They were Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages, who initially were Berber and Arab peoples from North Africa. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hati13:
Black were present among Moors but majority Moors weren’t black.

Moorish:
Obalufon send me an email at findthebeginningfirst@gmail.com

Obalufon:
Good offa and oje .. Offa is far ooo..OJe is farther

0balufonlll:
What?

If it is the ‘Efa’ in the Efa & Oje proverb then this your post is wrong o.

Efa & Oje were part of Egba Agura in the present day Ibadan. They were razed by the combined forces of Ife, Ijebu & Oyo. See IB Akinyele’s ‘Iwe Itan Ibadan’ book.

Efa had nothing to do with Offa & neither Efa nor Offa had anything to do with Edo.

Olu317:
I guess I need explain better. I did not say Onu = Ooni but showed the difference. May be, I don't understand you

Olu317:
lawani, I expect you to check who are Borgu ? Bro ,you can do better than this. Go to Northern Nigeria's history and verify properly. The same way Yoruba changed name at different times, is the same way, Borgu broke into pieces and migration took place to some areas. Go visit Niger state and Kwara state respectively. In these two States ,your questions is resolved.

Olu317:
I beg you pardon! You are wrong. Did you you care to read the reason I responded to the difference between Onu and Ooni ?
Apart from that, your opinion gotten/got from Samuel Ajayi's Crowther book is a bloody lie. Ooni means ‘owner'. I cant imagine you too can fall for such nonexisting theory created by Samuel Ajayi crowther as a contraction for Ooni? What's Omo Oluwo ni? Kì O nì ? Tà nì Olùwo nà?

Moorish:
If you ever became president you would go to foreign countries and call Nigerians lazy

That is basically what you just said!

You need to look at the whole history of Afrikans in context

The other races DID in fact look down on us due to the color of our skin

Your religion, christianity in fact created this "Hamite" doctrine stating all peoples of African descent are cursed!

That was the premise for the transatlantic slave trade.

The first ship to land on our coasts was the "Good Ship Jesus"

Do you people even think?

davidnazee:
Well the only thing we can do now is to get ourselves educated, be innovative, build better societies for ourselves, promote black ideas patronize and invest in black manufacturers. That is the way to a better black race. Hating won’t do us good, or thinking of fighting the whites they will wipe out the black race lol.

0balufonlll:
Solid.
We dey always come your side & Ile Gbonkaa from Orunto during Olojo.

0balufonlll:
Yes, papi. I moved back few months ago. Research wahala. Do you ever visit? Are you active in Obalufon adherence/festival, my Kabiyesi Obalara.

0balufonlll:
It is nice to meet you brother mi. Are you in Ife?

0balufonlll:
Obalufon blood? Is it the Obalufon in Ife sir?
I’m Orunto, Iranje-Idita & Giesi Agbedegbede II compounds.

Yes ..Obalufon compound in IFE ..Obalara.....i also have Giesi lineage

davidnazee:
Well this is your opinion. I think you are the one that has been defeated and subdued by the whites tactics. That is why the only thing u think of is hate and been a moor. Is that progressive?

Moorish:
Hate is a strong emotion bro.

It gets s.hit moving.

Hitler is an example (German industry, war machines and engineering)

I do respect the white race. They were given the dominant civilization/culture. But their rule is for 6000 years, and their time has already expired.

Black races are superior.

The white man is preaching peace because he already stole all your treasures from your house and he is comfortable with peace and love, he does not want to lose his ill gotten wealth

If he wasn't in a position of advantage he would not be preaching peace, trust me

Also do you not know the world runs on a system of white supremacy? Yet, you a melanated person is preaching peace.

You do yourself no good, blood!

0balufonlll:
Yes sir, full blooded.

How about you sir?

prolog2:
What in hell are you talking about? Your Ooni had a little Mudd shrine for palace, it is the colonial office which built him a proper house. The Alafin at least used to have a palace and an army, your Ooni was a nobody when the bruits arrived. He became their puppet rather than their opponent. The Alafin became their protégé as well.

0balufonlll:
Mud shrine for palace? Colonialists built him a palace? Ooni a nobody?

It is OK.

Cheers.

Moorish:
Benins are not moors

Moors are Africans of Islamic persuasion

Ancient kemet was a black and African civilization

Read some books please

Moorish:
Present day Arabians are usurpers of the true nation of Ishmael

The present day meccas are Persians and turks

The true people are in Africa

This portrait shows you the pre-colonial hierarchy between the true arab and the syrian/persian/turkish "arab"

One of your issues is believing conventional history as taught by the slave master

Moorish:
Any black man that calls himself david is already a lost soul

He even added nazi at the end of david, making davidnazee

davidnazee:
Do you consider his opinions scholarly? If you been following his posts u will realize he is just a fanatic, obsessed with black supremacy and filled with extreme hatred. It’s this mental state he put himself that made him fail in his sojourn in Europe.
That fool is getting killed the moment he step on Edo soil to preach rubbish or throw insults.
Edo boys no get joy for idiots.
