JuanDeDios:
These don't look bad. If I'd read this when I was still "searching", I'm sure I'd've found them very interesting, at least, and given Ifa a second glance.

On the circled, I've noticed that all religions emphasis sacrifice. Blood sacrifice, in particular, is a huge feature of pagan religions. I guess that's why blood sacrifice also features heavily in Christianity and Islam, as it does in their forebear Judaism, which had its roots in ancient Canaan pagan religions.

Yeah, Ifa makes sense until it starts talking about ancestors and sacrifices. Most successful societies don't worship ancestors and don't sacrifice animals! Same way societies with lowest infant mortality don't cut baby faces

moshala:
Ha! I will shamelessly say they work ohh, because in my 48 years on earth as a Yoruba person, from the days of aluta to the days of business along the borders witnessing Tokunbo guys and customs agents and many other, i can tell you i have seen the manifestations of charms more than fake miracles.

Charms work until one is told to prove or demonstrate it, then you'll start hearing all sorts of excuses. You can easily prove that a bulletproof vest can stop a bullet, compare to proving that odeshi can stop a bullet!

JuanDeDios:
Wow

People are strange. Of all religions the one that resonates with that Spanish guy is Ifa! (See below)

Tamken83:
I am a yoruba born again Christian, most yorubas use charms, whether christian or muslims. i dont use it, but my extended family uses it, either to get favour, good luck. protection, love, evil and so on and it is potent. i dont believe in it but i have seen it works.

Because it is part of who they and it is sad. Same reason they cut baby faces, never mind that they have higher infant mortality rate then people who don't cut babies

helinues:
Did you see me talking about wealth?

I don't care what you're talking about. There is nothing logical about killing a ram will protect your family

JuanDeDios:
Lol

Well, the Yorubas are the inventors of Syncretism. In the diaspora, they created Santeria, which blends Catholicism with Yoruba traditions. Here at home, they created White Garment churches, which blend Christianity with Yoruba traditions. They even found a way to smuggle some Yoruba things (e.g. alfa) into Islam.

Respect!

They also created most of the mega churches in Nigeria. I met one Spanish guy who told me he worships ifa and his life ambition was to visit Nigeria

thrillionaire:
At least he's honest about it.

Honest. After DSS found tons of impotent charms in his residence while arrestong him

SkyBizzy:
ImPOTENT charms.

Those charms don't work one bit.

Can the charms save me from depression and attempting suicide in this tough moment Of my life?

At least you said "attempt", not that you will actually commit suicide

helinues:
I would rather do juju for protection than to go to church or mosque for protection.

Some things should be logical

What exactly is logical about a human head will bring you riches.
At least with church just belief has power

Greenodds:
Nonsense both the US and Iran presidents are evil people ruining the lives of millions of good people.

All presidents are evil but some are more evil than others

Itiskdg121:
Why can't humans leave in peace.
It's very simple now

system21:
Human would have leave in peace but Islam came and spoiled everything

Leave from where?

louqas:
Do you know the reason for it
Yes its a ritual bath
But it doesn't always mean he's doing something evil, he could even be doing it to ward off evil willthings, pray you don't have problems that require you do some strange things to look for solution

Only evil will tell you to bath naked in the market.
Nothing good will require you to do that

SeunDeCraze:
He's performing ritual...
U must be a clown to say it's clout chasing

But people do worse things for content, even lose their lives. So these days no way to tell

Samantha125:
And she just had to wipe her nose with her T-shirt...🤦🤦🤦

People get paid REAL MONEY for content. More interesting than wiping with tissue

Olufemiolaolu:
She wasted her time by allowing a man that has no plan for her use her. Even if náà phD self she go don finish now.

More interesting is that we don't know who she is even AI, and that people don't usually share such scenarios with the world

A person cannot change from good guy to bad guy for any reasonable length of time, just as you can't change your nature. "Good guys" are not good by choice. That's who they are and any change is temporary and would be uncomfortable and fake!

ceragon123:
You did not mention weed? Abi that one no follow?

And alcohol

IGBOSON1:
I think you're just being unnecessarily pedantic! The word gangster has now evolved to mean much more than belonging to a criminal group, and now equally captures the actions and criminal disposition of the individual!

In any case, if we go along with your line of reasoning, Bonnie and Clyde could equally be said to be gang members of a two-man gang since there was two of them! Their story inspired this song by Beyonce and Jay-Z:

You obviously didn't see this my post beow

Please guys
What is the engine size of bmw koja

For Koja specifically:
The BMW "Koja" (often referring to the E46 3 Series in some regions) usually features a 2.0-liter engine in common models like the 318i or 320i.
Common E46 (Koja) Engine: Many of these models, such as the 318i or 320i, use 4-cylinder engines like the N46, frequently 2.0 liters in size.
Other Potential Engines: Depending on the specific variant of the E46 (e.g., 325i, 330i), the engine could be a 2.5-liter or 3.0-liter inline-six.
It is highly recommended to check the specific car's VIN or engine bay to confirm the exact displacement.

BMW 320i Engine - Specs & Motor Options | CarsGuide
BMW engines primarily feature 2.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline 4-cylinder (255-HP) or 3.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline 6-cylinder (382-HP to 453-HP) engines. High-performance M models often use 3.0L or 4.4L V8 engines. Modern BMW, such as the 330i, uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

Common Engine Sizes and Configurations:
1.5L Inline-3: Found in the BMW i8.
2.0L Inline-4: Standard in many 3 Series, 5 Series, and X-series models.
3.0L Inline-6: Used in performance models (e.g., M340i).
4.4L V8: Used in M5, M8, and larger X models.

Naming Convention: The number in the model name (e.g., 330i) usually refers to performance class rather than exact displacement.
Turbocharging: Almost all modern BMWs are turbocharged.
Engine Codes: Common engine codes include the B48 (4-cylinder) and B58/S58 (6-cylinder).

Afriifa:
These people just find another narrative. Christians don't force conversion. They are mad.

phemmie06:
Why was the girl forced? Our religion is not by force but by will.

They're embarrassed to say the girl became a fervent Christian after she tasted Christianity and the guy had nothing to do with it!

Kingdomb:
You need to read about Meyer lansky and why he's number 5. Dude was a genius

Not more than Lucky Luciano who founded The Commission. See below.
Also, Myers Lansky was not Italian. He was a Jew

SeeWahala:
So you don't care about the ones who aren't from USA too? 🤔

Actually Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese are also Americans with Crime Families that bear their names in New York to this day!

mightyhaze:
Exactly!


Infact Bonnie n Clyde inspired most of these gangsters of 20s to 40s ..inspired so many crime fiction novels too. Their ruthlessness was unrivalled even though Bonnie looked quite plain,harmless and with an elaborate limp

Actually gangster can also mean any criminal but OP here means organized crime

mightyhaze:
them never dream to conceive u when i read my hundredth gangster / crime novel .

Answer the question.
Nobody said crime. Gangster! Organized crime!
Billy the kid, Oyenusi, Anini, were all famous but they were not organized crime!

mightyhaze:
Exactly!


Infact Bonnie n Clyde inspired most of these gangsters of 20s to 40s ..inspired so many crime fiction novels too. Their ruthlessness was unrivalled even though Bonnie looked quite plain,harmless and with an elaborate limp

Do you know the meaning of the word, gangster?
Which gang were Bonnie n Clyde members of??

Easyincome24:
Who among these makes your top 10 notorious gangsters of all time?

You left out Bumpy Johnson but included Frank Lucas his underling. Because Frank was portrayed in a movie. The power of movies!

Burob:
Mr man look 👀 before u comment, & don’t be in a rush to exhibit cluelessness, was I the one that mentioned 5 years .

The onus was on you to indicate you were jumping into a conversation of two people and tag both parties. Nobody keeps checking monikers in an on-going discussion

Burob:
87 months in federal prison equals 7 years and 3 months. With the standard 15% reduction for good behavior (54 days per year).

An inmate typically serves approximately 85% of the sentence, for 87 months this equates to roughly 74 months (6 years and 2 months) actually served behind bars, potentially with the final months in a halfway house or home confinement.

Key Details:
Total Time: 7.25 years (87÷12)
Time Served (Approx. 85%): ~74 months (6.16 years).
Good Conduct Time: Up to 54 days off per year.
Release: May include 6-12 months in a halfway house.

You were asked a simple question. Show us the math that arrives at 5 years.

Another thing, when discussing jail time you don't assume maximum time off and perfect good behaviour, otherwise you'd also take into account time served and appeals, in which case you could say he was sentenced to zero jail time!

Flangelo12:
Federal time.

Think.

So 87 months Federal time is 5 years. Can you explain to us how?

Think

zhike:
South Africans clearly said they don't want foreigners who is going to invest less than R5 million in their country. Actually foreigners can only come as investors or tourist , not to look for work.

First of all South Africa has no such "absolutely must" mandate.
Second of all how do you know the Nigerian you're killing and looting did not invest R10 million?

ufotunang:
..abi.. Nigeria is an ATM machine for our politicians..just withdraw enough money for yourself chop and enjoy the money and nothing happens to the politicians

Not only enjoy it, use it to run for office and eventually run for president
