Dearest friend Olaa. I love your photos! Obama loves Jesus. Obama is anointed of God. Aleluiah! You know that Satan is an enemy. An enemy that Jesus has not yet been overcome. But with the help of Obama running the country more powerful, for a further period, the devil himself will lose ground. Christians should vote for Obama ... The choice is between Obama or Satan! Who would you choose? |
ifyalways: How do the native doctors , ifa priests etal look in real life?I'm persuaded to believe that "most" look dirty and haggard.perhaps, the few enlightened believers of ATR should invest in "educating the priests and priestesses on the need to keep a clean, healthy enviroment"You mentioned two points with which I totally agree. 1. The lack of priests and intellectualization of lso in general, African cults. and 2. The permanent affront and contempt of Nollywood (the West in general) toward religion and general culture of Africa. It is outrageous to see, how they present all African practices such as witchcraft or superstition of fools ... On this type of presentation, it strongly influences the Christian power, whose struggle is based on the disqualification, demonizing and discrediting of others. I'm not talking about luxuries, but of culture. A person without culture can not defend against attacks treóricos of other religious groups, and that is what is happening ... Christian groups falsehoods assault with the traditionalists, they are called witches ... and who respond to that? What traditionalist priest has the cultural level as to argue against these fallacies? But. I think both issues are related. Without improving the cultural level of the traditional priests will be very difficult to reverse the bad image. My fraternal greetings! |
seunny4lif: But at least u must hav any ideal about them and didnt u go thru naija?Yes,, in Venezuela Hugo Chavez is the president Please help would like, but ask something specific. |
SmoothCrim: 1. Ghana got 3rd in the 1992 Olympics.inglésespañolfrancésAlpha 1. I'm talking about world cup usated U20 me about? Ok, ok. Congratulations. Continues to participate! 2. Congratulations. I thought so. The former goalkeeper of 2010 could not be detached from the right post kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 3. You are from Ghana or English? Rssss you know where they play the Uruguayan? But the important thing is not that, but to win the selection. Do not be afraid as Giyan. 4. Uruguay has parts. He has his youth in the Olympic Games in London. In 2014 Brazil will be blue again (and your envy, Suarez prevent hand over the ball in between). 5. We have no generational problems always have the best players, that says the story. Always talk in 1924, 1928, 1930, 1950 ... are glories that FIFA recognizes. Ghana can speak what? ... Yeah, the U20 kkkik Well, I getting tired so much nonsense. I promise to never humiliate a Ghanaian goalkeeper, that Suarez will not laugh at you; If we play with Ghana, we will do without goalkeeper, blindfolded us, jumping on one leg, worth only goals from Uruguay to make back, and the goals of Ghana will be worth triple!. . IN these conditions will be an attractive match, and we will not win by more than 4 goals. Health, friend! Dream on! |
PhysicsQED: Those people called the Igbo are the Ugbo and they are still around. They are Yoruba. The Yoruba sometimes switch the letter "u" and the letter "i" in words. For example, Ufe refers to the same place as Ife but some Yoruba call it Ufe. The similarity in name between the Igbo/Ugbo subgroup of the Yoruba and the Igbo ethnic group to the east seems like a coincidence.Excellent contribution, dear friend! Thank you very much! But ... then according to what you indicated, the original cult of Obatala would have been in Ugbo ? |
emöfine2: There have been rare stories regarding non-Africans adopting African spirituality which is quite intriguing as African traditional religions are non-proselytizing and sometimes even exclusive.Hello dear friend! First, I understand that culture has an origin, that is, each tradition originates in a country or region. But the culture belongs to humanity, and not a country or a group. Africa has adopted foreign religions and traditions imposed by the invaders. These cultures are at odds with the idiosyncrasies of Africans. But they have imposed. The music, dance, religions, languages ... have an origin, but nobody owns it. Religion, culture and African traditions, came to America with the slaves. These slaves longed for Africa, and kept alive the flame of tradition, despite the torture, punishment, and the worst conditions. Especially South America, Central America, have adopted the religion and African traditions as their own. Alarmingly, the general ignorance that Africans themselves have about their origins and traditions ... Meanwhile, in America examines the historical and cultural events in Africa. In all cases, I understand that the choice of religion, traditions, and culture should be a personal choice should never be influenced by family or any third parties. A fraternal and warm greetings! |
Option 1. It's a fit. And has nothing to do any ritual in this. Option 2. They are traditionalist Jews still maintain their tradition of human sacrifice, as they did in the Old Testament. Option 3. This is part of the propaganda of groups of Christian fanatics. My respects to all. |
The traditional culture does not approve of cremation. The natural process is the decomposition and recycling of matter from the earth. But of course, everyone has the right to choose. My respects. |
I totally agree with the contents of the article. Thank you very much brother Pagan. The structure tribalist emphasized values such as honesty, social group, the value of truth, respect for ancestors and so on. etc. Westerners who have been commissioned to destroy demonizing. In a world where lying is considered a form of life, human life loses its value against the money, tribalism again an exemplary option on the worth, at least informed. Very good article! My respects to all! |
seunny4lif: Pls i need some info about venezuela,do u knw any airline connecting west to there witout transit visa?Sorry my friend. Venezuela is at 5,200 km of my country. I was not where you write. I'm sorry. |
chipmunkey: You assuming that slave merchants would feed their slaves as they march to the coast shows that you have no idea what pains the slaves went through after being captured. FYI Most of them were whipped, maimed and killed on their way to the coast and they were not fed all through the journey. The only water they gave them was specially dug wells that contained concoctions they believed will make the slaves forget about their homes and past lives.Studies on the subject indicate that the main port of departure for African slaves to America was the Gulf of Benin from the XVI century. I lack data on the arrival of the different slaves to the Gulf, but (with respect to food and sanitary conditions) one of every three slaves shipped died on the trip, to a few hours to get there. The slaves who reached the target badly injured, or no chance of recovery, were abandoned on the beaches and eaten by wild dogs. That statistic (1/3) was known to the slave. My respects |
tpia@:Dear friend: It is my understanding that possibly one of the most decimated (depleted) Yoruba kingdoms was that of Keto (Ketu). Some reports indicate that almost was destroyed in its entirety. You (or another brother) some information about it? |
chipmunkey: Nobody says all the returned slaves were on Yoruba origin. From my knowlegbe. The biggest slave port was @ the El mina castle and it shipped mainly Ghanians of the Ashanti and Fante origin therefor€ some of them were probably returned to Freetown. It is however important to note that slaves of Yoruba extraction who were captured and sold into slavery not so long after it`s abolítion were able to find their way back home. And that included Bíßhop Äjäyí çröwth€r hím߀£f.defWhat you say is correct. Of all the "waves" of Africans shipped to America, the Yoruba were possibly the last. Soon after, slavery was abolished almost tod America. This factor was helpful to many Yoruba could return to their land. In the case of other ethnic groups, only the offspring was the first African slaves. That fact led to many preferred to stay in America. We are dealing with an extremely delicate and sensitive issue. My respects to all |
SmoothCrim: COPA America is a small cup. Only the world cup and Euro are big cups.Small contradiction: The Copa America is a small cup-Argentina and Brazil are big teams. (Uruguay has won 15 cups America against Argentina and Brazil being visitors) The Olympics of 1924 and 1928 are considered by FIFA World Cups, because there was no World Cup in those years. Therefore, we have 4 World Cups. Ghana has many?. has many Africa cup have Ghana? Son, dear little son. Let's see ... We are the World Champions 1924,1928,1930 and 1950. In 1930 (while we were bi-Olympic champions) Uruguay hosted the first World Cup championship (an honor). In 1950, local Brazil, Uruguay wins the final against Brazil (you said you are a strong team right?) With the draw, Brazil was champion, but could not the bravest team in the world. We were champions in their own home in Brazil. Now ... I understand that you do not know much about these things. Look, Ghana has existed since 1960. When Ghana became independent, we and we were four times world champions ... That explains the shock of my friend Giyan, humiliation in the definition by penalty, and your football ignorance. But I love talking with you, and I think a couple of centuries in Ghana will be in the semifinals, and although Ghana lost (as usual) you will be happy, see their beautiful men crying again, showing off her great beauty and unmanly. Look, I know I'm kidding? Football is just a diversion in my life. I send you a hug! |
NRI PRIEST: Ptolomeus,Igbos dont worship Orisa deity that exclusively yoruba thing and we dont have any connection ever with the yoruba. Our world views are very different. I understant you are very interested in the yoruba culture and traditional religion but I will advice you to be mindful of what you read on the internet or books written by revisionists. Igbo and the yorubas are two different people who never interacted prior to the coming of the europeans. We are two very different ppl in all ramification. Thanksdear Friend NRI Priest Thank you very much for your comment. I understood perfectly. The paradoxical aspect is that one of the greatest scholars (Pierre Fatumbi Verger ) is one who committed that terrible error of judgment, and I, of course I said in the thread. My apologies for the mistake. Thank you for not playing bad intention on my part. A very warm greeting! |
SmoothCrim: At least we won the U20 world cup in 2009!!!1928 1924 1930 1950. There are 4 right? You know very little about football, if you ignore what the Copa America ... Baby... My little baby... Kkkkkkkkkkk! U20? Hahahaha! Indeed are children ... The problem is that when Ghanaians are no longer children do not meet as men. Too bad ... I mean, U-20? That does not exist ... it's football or other sports? U20 means lower than 20 cm? Ghanaians are very small then! We will we cheated? Tsk tsk do not cry baby! It was not our fault ... it was Giyan that loosened his bowels, and in the greatness of Uruguay, trembled like a girl. We are not guilty that you are worthless. We are not guilty of having a history, and that Ghana does not exist. We are not responsible for Abreu in the last penalty, decided to humiliate them before the whole world. They laughed Uruguayans, Argentines, the English ... to the Chinese ... Now baby ... leaves to mourn and dream of vengeance impossible. Congratulations on winning a U20 Jajajajaja! all a credit to Ghana Jajajajaja! Now, I'll leave writing alone, you know? You were very proud when you posted those pictures, and I really enjoyed humiliating you. Chao, U20 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk |
Delafruita: i have always wondered which is more confusing,the religion or its adherrents.the reasons for this arent far fetchedCorrect observations. To that list I add: Christianity lacks a central authority to order the liturgy. Christianity lacks a doctrine itself. It is based solely on the word of Jesus, that word is interpreted by every pastor at their convenience. Christianity does not have a management methodology. Anyone can claim to have been chosen by Jesus, and just with that, and can act as Pastor. Every Christian sect, contradicts the principles of the other sects, but despite that, all refer to themselves as "Christians." Anyone can start a new Christian sect, with the standards and interpretations that you want. No one can ban it. The only rule is to declare that it follows the word of Jesus (this is done or not). Christianity, lacking its own doctrine, basa his speech at the ongoing attack on other religions, accusing them of "demonic." That makes religion of Christianity possibly more fanatical and aggressive there. Also, the lack of doctrine and liturgy itself, Christianity has imitated various religious rites, rituals that suits your own needs, and have nothing original or even Christians. (This, just mention something) My respects. |
Delafruita: i think exorcism is real.its a prominent part of voodooYes, exactly. Not only voodoo, but also the cult of Orisa. The word "exorcism" is used by Catholics to set aside what they call "demons" in the case of traditional religions (where there is no Satan) is used to separate darkened spirits. In the case of Christianity, which a sect devoid of doctrine, born of Catholicism, these rites have been copied so much of the traditional religions of Catholicism. But in general, most religions accept the existence of exorcism as such. My respects. |
LYNDDY: @chaseThen, a good solution for you is to ask Jesus to interpret your dream and narrate the meaning. Otherwise, you talk to your pastor. If you offer a good sum, surely he will give you the most wonderful performance you've ever imagined. Aleluiah |
Going to the original topic of the thread. I agree that many people have a tendency to derive their decisions to allow decisions to be made towards the other. That is a religious principle ... that reminds me of the famous phrase "Furer thought for me ..." I also believe that human beings need to "idols" of "leaders" of "heroes" or "heroes". That also applies to religion ... that many priests are "deified." But I think there are no accidents. On the religious level all is well studied and understood. If the dependence on authority, and the search for reference we add FEAR, people are quite permeable to the "authority". There are many religions that use these three principles as pillars to ensure through fear, leadership and authority, the fidelity of the people. My respects |
SmoothCrim: We will win the world cup before the lizards!!! In fact we will humiliate them in south America(Brazil 2014)2014?? Jajaja! Son...Loved little son ... ... You know that Brazil hosted the World Cup in 1950? Know who was the champion?. There are some differences between Uruguay and Ghana ... Uruguay has won 4 world championships ... 15 Copa America ... Ghana is like a cheerleader in the world (a clown, so to speak Son...Loved little son ... ... Ghana must first qualify for the World Cup in Brazil ... but in addition, Ghana has no football history. There is no Ghana, no one knows. Also, have shown to have no spirit; Giyan (jajajajaja) demonstrated no temple ... so are Ghanaians? Very cute children should play soccer in high heels and lipstick! Jajajajaja! Son are ... ... The ball is round Jajajajaja! When you have a tenth of the story that has Uruguay speak again. Meanwhile ... still crying (and please, unleash the inept goalkeeper who was glued to the bottom right hahahaha!). Greetings from the glorious Uruguay, third in the FIFA rankings, especially greetings Abreu hahahaha! |
SmoothCrim: Look at these Ugly dogs! Even a dog cannot be this ugly!!1. No arrest warrant for Suarez in Ghana. You know why? Because they do not arrest in Ghana sports stars ... if they did, would destroy NATO haha! 2. Trap? what was the catch? Guiyan that had failed so afraid that the penalty? That shows that they are cowards who have no class. Never advance to a prominent place. Does not exist footballing Ghana. 3. Hahahaha these "lizards" are third in the FIFA rankings (and Ghana?) Them made you ... You mourn mourned for months, and still crying. 4. Look again at the penalty, the goalkeeper hitting the bottom lol! I never saw anything so funny and humiliating ... The whole world laughed at the ghanenses ... Hahahaha I can not stop laughing haha! Abreu should not do that ... should not humiliate them like that. hahahaha! Now child ... continues to participate haha! In 50 years will have another chance! |
tpia@:I hope that the address is helpful. African slaves came from the most different points. It is also important to note that not all Africans were "hunted", others were enslaved as a result of intertribal wars, so the ethnic groups of African slaves varied by year and destination. http://es.scribd.com/doc/6120935/La-Ruta-Del-Esclavo |
BlackPikiN: Ohh shut up. There were Igbo slaves returness from other countries that settled in lagos. esp from Sierra Leone and Liberia!1. It is a pity that so interesting a thread starts to get distorted by the insults. 2. Indeed. Already in 1787, Britain founded Freetown in Sierra Leone, to house repatriated slaves. In 1824, the U.S. created the first independent country in Africa (Liberia), to settle the slaves gained their freedom in the USA. It is clear that all countries with the repatriation of Africans, they did not distinguish or consider ethnic groups. I think the examples are clear. My respects to all. |
tintingz: keep explain till tomorrow, the record has been shown, Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world not only in America nor U.S but globalOk if you say so ... But in the three Americas (South, Central and Northern) except USA, Islam is hardly known. Not practiced. In Europe it is hardly known, especially in countries that have had strong Arab presence (Spain), but in the other countries of Europe is a very small minority religion, widely surpassed Roman Catholicism. In South America, Islam has fewer adherents than the traditional African religion ... I think that is illustrative. I guess in Africa will have many Islamists, and that makes the exception that proves the rule. Globally Islam is a religion almost nonexistent and unknown. My respects. |
alienvirus: Are they not cannibalism in the bible?I am not referring to you when you speak of mental slavery. You can put a thousand posts, that mind slaves will not want to understand. The blind fanaticism, and even if you do not believe there are people who love to wear shackles. There shackles arabian model or the European model ... Everyone uses he likes to be fashionable! |
Dudu_Negro: The Yoruba tongue is not indigenous.Interestingly your assertion. Could you dig in more about that statement? From already thank you very much. Warm regards, dear friend! |
ijawkid: @macdaddy....No, no, please ...! Ijawkid ... You will send hit men to kidnap, torture and kill Logic Boy? Do not do that ... Think of it as a human being ... You may disagree with him ... but I do not think it is right come to that ... I suggest that we deport him to Montevideo. I am responsible for he ... but do not kill him! It's a good boy! Peace! |
MacDaddy01: https://edge.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/1927805/81443288.jpgYes, thousands of years so ... That God can not with the devil ... the devil could use his left hand and that god does not win. Observe you that god lovely, white, EUROPEAN, I almost would say that God is almost a model of Dior ... and the devil so ugly ... ajjjjjjjjj horned ... What travesty ... how stupid! Greetings to you, dear friend ! Very good post! |
chinedumo: Religion killed Jesus yet he didn't advocate for atheism, agnosticism or the IlluminatiI am not an atheist. But any religion that encourages this kind of bigotry should be eradicated. No atheist would do something like that! I insist, Arabs and Europeans enslaved Africa, and then sick with hatred. As Africans continue with that stupid religious hatred, Arabs and Europeans will continue to reign, and Africa remains the continent with the highest rate of infant deaths and deaths from hunger, the continent with the worst level of health, with more infected with AIDS ... the poorest continent ... Arabs and Europeans are not stupid ... but neither Africans should be. My respects. |
Obiagu1: Interesting. I never heard of this before. What I've heard was that the Igbo once occupied the entire Southern Nigeria before the arrival of other groups. Since their population was scanty west of core Igboland, wars and discontent drove most back to Igboland while some were assimilated.Dear friend: My information contained an error. The dear friend Odumchi , as said that when I was referring to the Igbo, I was probably referring to the Ijebu-Igbo or Igbo-Ora. In any case, we should investigate how Yoruba kingdom began Orisanla cult, but that may need to be subject of another thread. Warm regards! |
FXKing2012: Pls Christians are neither rude nor ignorant.The blind fanaticism, and becomes rude and ignorant. Observe you the answer that gave me this illiterate to me. |
