This was how they assassinated Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Fajuyi etc. And when the retaliation started from the other side, they started shouting pogrom here and there looking for sympathy.

The powers that be keep assassinating all these African leaders seeking to make a difference in the lives of their people and Africans because of their love for oyibos don't seem to see it.

I weep for African youths who are too blind to see who their REAL enemies are. Most Africans don't even realize that the reason they are in the situation they are in is because western powers dictate what policies African leaders should enact. Most African presidents are string puppets to western powers.

Even this whole Fulani Herdmen problem in Nigeria, there are powers that be outside Nigeria who are sponsoring Fulanis herdsman from Francophone speaking African countries, arming them and sending them to Nigeria to destabilize the country. But again, Nigerian youths are deep asleep or too busy arguing about tribe on Nairaland to truly realize what is really going on. By the time they wake up and realize what's really going on, it will be too late.

Anytime an African leader stand up for his people to liberate them they always end up dying mysteriously, but the corrupt Western puppets always rule for life in good health.

Truth is that cross river state is one of the most backward places in Nigeria.. Forget calabar that they use to save face.. Cross river hosts the thickest forest in Africa and looks like Tower of babel was built there with thousands of tribes and languages .. They're places in Cross river the men speak a different language from the women.. Cross River can drag land for Africa and can kill for it

Now this nonsense.. Cross river should wake up

[/quote][quote author=Afam4eva post=94056494]Actually, this is not a list of the best Ogene musicians. Rather it's a list of Ogene musicians that you need to know if you don't already know them. They're my favourites at the moment,

Ogene is a style of Igbo music consisting of, and taking its name from, the ogene instrument, which is a large metal bell.[1] The Ogene instrument has historically been made by the Igbo people of Nigeria. It is one of the most important metal instruments of the people.

Ogene is nice but I prefer bongo music all day or time

davillian:

There is one I have visited in my village as a kid( we usually fetch firewood at the back. Big thick forest). I can remember seeing some old women always sweeping that big shrine. Everywhere is carved. Those carvings reminded me of st Peter's basilica in Rome. There is one kindergarten hall built there outside the shrine. The artefacts in that shrine are still preserved till date.

THEY'RE MESSING UP OUR THREAD AND RELIGION. BUT ONCE IRRELIGIOUS PEOPLE MAKE IT TO THEIRS THEY REMEMBER RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND OTHER NONSENSE THEY TALK ABOUT. HISTORY SHOWS CHRISTIANS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BOUNDARIES. THEY WANT THEIR RELIGION TO BE RESPECTED AND ABSOLVED FROM CRITICISMS BUT ALWAYS WANT TO ENFORCE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES ON EVERYONE ELSE.

PAGAN9JA:


The point herein is that Pagan Animist Tribal religions are not like abrahamic religions.

They are deeply intertwined with our indigenous culture and independent ideology and thought process.

For example, it is because of our indigenous religion that many of our indigenous animals and plants have survived and been protected in sacred groves and totemic reverence.

When we talking about traditional religion we are talking about preserving our natural ecosystem and (tribal) societal balance as well.

Therefore it becomes of utmost importance to preserve them.


Our natural religions are non-proselytizing so they can co-exist harmoniously with any religion. As a Pagan I can visit a mosque and church although I prefer not to because I don't get back the same respect for my beliefs and culture in return.

Animism is Spiritual Sciences . It keeps our mind open to the existence of unlimited posibilities. What you are inferring about religious is based on your exposure to an abrahamic upbringing and environment so you don't really understand where we are coming from.

When I read your tirade on Wole Soyinka I understood that you don't understand his ideology. It is the same as ours. Ogun is a part of his existence. Whether he worships it or not he respects and participates in it.

As a born Pagan I never went through any process of conversion. I joined my people in local festivals and rituals and that was it. It is a part of our natural unique existence.

Many of the great Greek scientists such as Archimedes, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Euclids etc., were fervent Pagans themselves. There spirituality never interfered with their quest for science as there was no dictat to stop them in their pursuit. These are entirely two different subject matters.

Indigenous religion leads to Nationalism and anti-colonialism but unfortunetly it was stunted at a very early phase in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. (Although there were isolated cases as well where indigenous religion took on an anti-colonial role).

Japan and India capitalized on using traditional religion as a catalyst to sucessfully inspire anti-colonialism just as the UK and Western Europe used christianity to justify colonialism. We were too late and divided in this race because we could not recognize our diverse similarities and forge it into a unified force.

In conclusion, I would say it is better to recinstrct traditional religion and reform it keeping core concepts intact.


Africans and human beings in general need spirituality in their lives. This is practical. We need to decolonize and opt for the best alternative that suits our natural psych. Our ancestors already laid out the pathway for us. We just need to believe in ourselves.

Carry this white MF out of here....when he brings peace to the middle east where he comes from,he should then go and sleep

PAGAN9JA:



Good point. The makeshift Igbo shrines erected today have lost the essence because they don't utilize native craftsmanship and symbolism as the meanings and skills behind the carvings are forgotten although they still exist in the memories of elders and in colonial accounts.

So to revive them one must compile information from the elders before they pass away. It is of utmost importance. In cognisance with existing legitimate Dbias and interested youth.

Also our religious artefacts need to be brought back from foreign collectors for a closer thorough examination.

She even apologized and this morons are crying foul.
It's illegal in Nigeria so she has every right to air her opinion.
Some Nigerians are frustrated they just want an Avenue to stay relevant someone that they can't even talk to when they meet in person, they would cowardly hide behind that keypad to type rubbish and bully people just because you don't share the same ideology with them.
Like one puta with the moniker phut.
Frustrated beings.

GenBuhari:
Nne, biko you are too harsh. Let's us educate the ignorant with patience and understanding.

Most of us are taught in our education system to believe we blacks and our culture is inferior to the white people and their culture.

There is a great saying: It is far easier to fool a man, than it is to convince him he has been fooled.

So try not to be frustrated by the ignorant not getting the message but persist in the hope that one day their eyes would clear and your message would be understood.

What is your challenge?
Is it too difficult to get off my mention ?
You are a bush man I get it.

And what is my communication with my married ex got to do with this. I can see your and that foolish man have mental issues.
And if you care to know I've met with the Ex twice .
