CultureRe: Igbo Or Ibo? by Ptolomeus(m): 10:44pm On Aug 05, 2012
I hope not to offend anyone.
I do not speak Igbo, Yoruba or ... I have just some basic notions of Yoruba.
As far as I have studied Yoruba language originally was not written (I can be wrong). Therefore, the script was an adaptation of the phonetic often by Europeans.
I understand that, for example in Yoruba, there is a letter composed "GB" as a matter phonetics.
Now, what is right?
Sango? Shango? or Chango?
I (very humbly) think the phonetic spelling dl should keep the place of origin, and not the place or country of your speech ...
I mean ... the term "Chango" used in Cuba, may be valid for Cuban phonetics, but we can not analyze it seriously as a correct word.
Based on the foregoing, in the humble opinion of this scholar, the correct term (academic) should be IGBO, though, of course, by extension, should not be totally incorrect Ibó term.
It's just a humble opinion.
My warm greetings to all.
CultureRe: The Mentality in Some Nigerian Names by Ptolomeus(m): 10:27pm On Aug 05, 2012
At least in South America, the name Domingo (Sunday) is fairly common.
When we talk about slavery, we must not forget that the process was in hand ... that is, the slaves came to America (for example) were converted to Christianity and changed his African name for a Christian name (the name of a saint).
As far as I've studied, every day of the week has a meaning for Africans, in some cases, days of the week were four.
I do not think any parallels can be drawn between euroeos and Africans regarding est issue ...
The Europeans did not give nor give to the days of the week the same importance that Africans.
For Africans, it might seem ridiculous to meet a European named "Tuesday", but if we analyze the situation a bit, it can be so ridiculous how an African named John ...
I hope my opinion helps.
Hats off!

Christianity EtcRe: Who Was The Old Testament God? by Ptolomeus(m): 10:30pm On Aug 03, 2012
Area_boy: Certainly not the same.

He can only be the same person if ywhw can "change". but that then goes against everything the religion stands for. "Unchangeable god"

in the old testament, one can describe him as a ruthless dictator and a tyrant to a certain degree

In the new testament, he now stand for forgiveness of everything (even your enemies)


i'm sure you can conclude for yourself
Exactly!
The Old Testament god demanded human sacrifice ... ordered to wipe out entire villages killing women and children ... sending plagues and famines ...
It would be ironic to think that God has changed so much ...
It would be ridiculous!

Will that god is not so powerful?

Christianity EtcRe: Reasons Why I Know Obama Is Not A Christian by Ptolomeus(m): 10:18pm On Aug 03, 2012
OLAADEGBU: My frenemy, the title of this thread is clear enough for you to understand the issue at hand. I put forth the reasons why I think that Obama is not a Christian, you have to be a Christian to appreciated these reasons. If you are interested in politics there is a section for that but this is truth vs propaganda, we want to project the truth here if you don't mind.
Olaa ... I consider you a friend.
Friends do not always agree ...
Who makes a political issue, something religious you are.
Just say you, that you are not supporter of the Mormon fascist
Say it.
This will prove that I am wrong, and that you are not messing Obama for political interests!.

It doesnt matter if the side playing is one of the arab north african teams, we in sub-sahara still support them. But this doesnt mean we hate non africans. When suarez stoped the ball, we all rained insults on him lol.
Hahaha! Very good that Spanish !Arriba el ánimo mi amigo!
Yes it's true ... Suarez hated it! ... But this situation would happen to anyone ... it's almost instinctive ...
I have played soccer professionally, and I can assure you that at that time to think ... is the instinct ...

Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma Of A Pastor by Ptolomeus(m): 10:36pm On Aug 02, 2012
Caracta: I got this mail from an old friend, a Pastor of a small church, married with three kids. Here is the mail:
'Hi friend. I got a job offer at a BREWERY as an Accountant through a POWERFUL uncle. As a Pastor, i've always preached against alcoholic drinks.
If i accept the offer, i would be seen as a hypocrite and bad example in my church (working in an alcoholic factory). I could even lose the confidence of my members.
If i reject it, my uncle would be furious and could even report me to my wife. I know that woman! It would affect my marriage.
What should i do? I have serious financial problems. Could this be temptation? Pls advise me. I've always trusted your judgment'
O ye wise nairalanders, please advise this young man/pastor.
A pastor with financial problems?
Mhhhh I think the first thing you should do that pastor is to stop lying.
There is a pastor who would like to work ... so, will that pastor in his church ... living of tithes and sweat of others ...

Christianity EtcRe: Road To Hell by Ptolomeus(m): 10:21pm On Aug 02, 2012
Dear friend.
Accept you.
You do not like women ... on the contrary, you are a misogynist.
You are saying that the female se.x is a way to hell.
You also said that he hates homosexual.ity (or whatever ... you discriminate against homosexua.ls).
Your assumida homosexual.ity is turning it into a misogynist discriminator!
Surely some shepherd has forbidden you to have se.x ... and that's why you hate women. Most pastors have se.x freely ... do not be silly.
Less time you go to church, and look for a psychiatrist!

solgee: Brotherly, i do not prefer men. Remember in my earlier post i stated categorically that it would be road to hell when it is done illegally. that is to say, if not married and you engaged in fornication then it could lead to hell before repentance
Believe me ... I am not criticizing homosexuality.
I have nothing against homosexuals.
The only thing I do not share, is that you so denigrate women.
Know? I prefer women ...
But of course .. is a matter of choice.
You do not feel bad about it!

WoooOOOW those are some great words Ptolemus! shocked shocked shocked shocked

Africa will only develop when she learns to respect herself and regain her identity and pride in work.
Thank you dear friend.
It is very sad to read that kind of offense free.
Unfortunately Christians know only offend and attack ...
Are Christians who worship Satan ... traditionalism has no devil, or Satan! They are who killed the worshipers of demons!
They are twins who murdered, innocent women, children and old, with the Inquisition! and the invasion of Africa and America!
Unfortunately, the lackeys of the slaveholders want to justify their belief and mental slavery ... but they can not do it!
A big hug, my friend!
CultureRe: Should Christianity Restrict You From Partaking In Your Tradition? by Ptolomeus(m): 5:36pm On Aug 02, 2012
Chylo: My friend don't be deluded, most of what you call culture are steeped in demon worship and satanism. Killing of twins is a historical fact, unless ur the one that has been brainwashed. The bible says you should not worship any craven image, wat does "tradition" say?

You cannot serve two masters. I have no problem with you wanting to serve Sango, but please and please, don't mix that with Christianity. Thank you.
First, I do not think any traditionalist want to mingle with pro-slavery.
Second, the only God craven is the God who died humiliated, hanging from a stick, pleading for his life.
I regret to inform you that Satan does not exist in the traditional cults, Satan is worshiped only by the Jewish-Christians.
You do not mix us with your worshiped Satan.
Answer you: that African people sacrificed lso twins!
Use evidence ...
In Africa the murderers have always been slavers and their lackeys.

oiseworld: Cheiiii ! SEE MUSCLEEEEEEEEE ! ! !

Foooooollllllllssss ! ! So you know who wrote the bible. Quoting it whenever necessary to suit your daft and selfmade gods.
CONGRATULATIONS , you three are official foollss. So matthew , mark, paul, and luke where not jesus disciples. How come i am?

I don't give a darm who wrote the books, its whats in the book am concerned about.
Go and worship your wood,cement,tree,stone and all that sorts.

James 1:22: 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

And who among u called himself my superior? superior in what,in the bible sheee. Congratulations,paul did the exact same things you're all doing now only to end up preaching about whom he prosecuted.
I am not in the forum to insult people or gods, but you invited me.
There may be people who worship wood ... (what you say) and there may be "selfmade gods".
From what Iam very sure, is that there are people who worship the pastor pay tithes ... licking feet and worship the gods of the slavers who tortured, humiliated and murdered their ancestors ...
Regarding "selfmade gods," I'll tell you that there is something worse than a "mad god" ... is a god who died hanging from a stick (as usually done with a pig) ... and that god begged, begged his father not to leave him ... but the father abandoned him, and died humiliated and begging, like an animal.
Yes, I'm sure there are worse things to worship wood, and that a "mad god"
Finally, I congratulate him on your education, probably is the result of a Christian college.

THE BIG QUESTION IS, WHICH TRIBE IN NIGERIA ACTUALLY KILLED TWINS>>>huh? YOU FELLOWS ARE JUST SAYING WHAT THE MISSIONARIES HAVE INPUTED INTO YOUR BRAINS!!!!!

The Yorubas are ruled out. they highle rever twins to the extent they have made Ibeji idols of them symbolizing the dual Force. one colonial explorer noted that the Yoruabas pampered twins so much that there every wish was treated as command. also considering the Yorubas have the highest twin ration in the world. killing twins is out of the questions unless they plan to end their race. .
I also want to know if there really was an African tribe that killed a lso twins. My friend PAGAN says correctly, that the Yoruba worship Ibeiji (twins) at Orisa. The birth of twins in a Yoruba family, is synonymous with bliss!
Please ... do not talk about things that nobody knows where they come!

What nobody can deny, are the mass murders that made ​​the Christians and Arabs, in the name of Jesus Christ and Allah!

oiseworld: i can't believe what i just read, whats happening on this page. You all claim you're wiser than your fathers that dropped the traditional way of life for christianity.
Too know will not kill you guys.

You can not serve God and mamon. I have always said it that thecatholic church, if they do not change their way of worship would continue to produce more atheist and pagans. A life time is not enough to completely know God and his ways, for they are new every morning. Is that when i will begin to do sacrifices to an image or run after masquerades.

This is what poor upbringing does to a child. The Bible says train up a child in the way it should go, and when he is old, he would not depart from it.

As for you the joker above. God will not allow you.
That which you criticize, you can be the result of:
1. The wrong approach to Islamic and Christian.
2. Economic abuse the merchants of religion have had on Africa.
3. Underestimating that Europeans and Arabs have done (and do) of Africans.
3. Awareness of many Africans, the true value of their own culture and traditions.
What is it that bothers you so much paganism?
You, like the Arab and European slavers, you want there only Christianity or Islam?

You never see people from Europe diclaiming their culture and skin color to so oh I am mixed with Arbs, black... They are proud of their identity .when will black people be proud of their culture. Until we have self respect for our history and identity we will continue to be t the bottom in the world . Black people are their own worst enemy not the white man.
Yes. There is a problem of identity in Africa.
A problem of identity is not accidental, but was and is planned by Arabs and Europeans.
Erased at a stroke the traditions, language and everything having to do with the African identity.
There is no greater slavery that mental slavery.
This thread has already offered, some worshipers of the gods and foreign cultures ... They are the eternal slaves, those who "want to be white and live in Europe" ... That seems to be easier to be critical, study and analyze ... But that in turn leads to suicide.


The post is excellent.
