The truth is bitter and the truth is he was never crucified but it was made to appear so, and there is no lazy easy way to heaven by believing blood was shed, to make heaven you must not associate partners with God and you must be pure in heart, loving, forgiving and never love others lesser than self and love and worship the one true God with all your heart and might just like Jesus did and the Prophets before him and the Prophet aftet him.

Education › Nigerian Student, Chimezie Ebiriekwe Emerges SUG President In USA Varsity by Sammy07(op): 8:40pm On Apr 05, 2017
Nigerian student, Chimezie Ebiriekwe emerges SUG president in USA Varsity Nigerian, Chimezie Ebiriekwe, has emerged the winner in the Associated Students presidential election.

Ebiriekwe, a native of Imo State, polled 3,454 votes in the election, which is similar to the SUG elections in Nigerian universities, to defeat his closest opponent Ben Delbick, who got 1,189; Chloe Sension (1,014) and Kaitlyn Hart (94).

A brief profile of the Business Marketing Major on the school’s website reads, “My name is Chimezie Ebiriekwe I am from Carson, CA, I currently attend San Diego State University and I graduated from Crenshaw High School.

I went to school in a neighbourhood where every black male either does not graduate from high school, or they do not make it past their first year in
college.
I made it out of high school, but I do not want to be the statistic that does not make it out of college.

My parents and loved ones struggled financially to get me into college and in the position I am in right now, and I have no other option but to make sure I get everything that college has to offer and eventually have a great career for the rest of my life.

Chimezie is not a very common name in America, but it is a known name in the country of
Nigeria.
My name means, “God fixes it”, I believe my name well fits the person I am today.
The name, Chimezie, fits me well because it matches the lifestyle I live.

My name is an Igbo name, one of the many native languages from Nigeria.

My name is composed of two Igbo words, chi, which
means God, and mezie which means fixes it. They are two separate words but they are put together as one to make a name.

“I currently attend San Diego State University and I really enjoy it here. I am a Business Marketing Major, and so far I am really enjoying the major, even though I am yet to enter my Upper-Division classes.

The only class that is geared towards my intended major is my MIS 180: Information Systems class, and the class is the best class I have on my schedule right
now.

As a Freshman I believe that I am very involved on
campus, I currently hold an Executive Board position as Treasurer for the Afrikan Student Union (ASU) and I am on the Marketing Committee for the American Marketing Association.

Ritchiee:
QUESTIONS FOR IPOB

When Ojukwu was here and he declared Biafra, he was a governor of the East, he had a territory he could control, he had provisional secretaries and all that under him but all these boys talking about IPOB or whatever, what do they have? They even tell you they have supporters but who are their supporters or are they keeping it secret? Let me tell you, let it not be like the support France gave to Biafra. France will never come out in the open to say we support Biafra, they never even recognized Biafra in the United Nations. So if you are not strong don’t dare anybody and even if you are strong, the best thing is to use your might and negotiate. There was a time Ojukwu could have negotiated and got something, he would have got a confederation. During that conference Ojukwu said Biafra was not negotiable and that is why the things fell apart. It was he who said no power in Black Africa can destroy Biafra and when the chips were down he was on his way to Ivory Coast, leaving us to die. So you can see! Let no body be taken for a sucker; that is what I am telling the youths. Where is the land, the terrain you will put your troops on? Where are the people you are going to lead out of Nigeria? Is it Ebonyi people who most of them don’t believe they are Igbo to start with? There is only one snag about it, if Abuja will stop this nonsense about unitary system of government. When Ironsi was in power he had decree no. 45 by which he made Nigeria unitary government not federal government and the north killed him because of the unitary but no sooner than Ironsi was out of the way, the same north under Gowon started practicing unitary system.

I will advise you go for computer engineering. Despite all you have heard about Nigeria universities, computer science is no better. The school I finished for example was offering computer with mathematics. The students realized their was no difference between their colleagues studying pure maths. I had a friend who regretted studying that course as against engineering.

Outside the country, computer science is okay. But while in Nigeria, will advise you go for computer engineering.

Bro, you can keep any amount you like in the name of a child and then wait for him too come of age to start making the use stored money. .......when you are baptized, you receive a gift of the Holy Spirit which you are expected to put to use. ....a child can't operate the gift of the Holy Spirit.


The Bible says , unless a man be born of water and the spirit ....the key word is man not baby ...no baby will miss returning to their maker because of baptism ....wherever Abraham, Moses , Elijah, etc went to is not hell ......paradise . .......authority is for the believer Nd the believer is not a baby but a man of reason .......the whole world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons not baby.........John never baptized an infant, the apostles never did, Jesus , our ultimate guide and example never did.

Every baptized,first received Jesus, received the gospel, personally based on conviction .......the faith of parents covers a child until he or she comes of age .....Jesus fate was tied to that of his parents until he came of age and was able to hold his own....,they took him in all his weak state from one hideout to another......they could have baptized him as infant to prepare him for return since his life was at a stake.


The key word in peters message is , repent and be baptized that he receive the gift of, the Holy Spirit .....you can repent on somebody's behalf if you can't eat and he get satisfied....he has to do his repenting for himself.


As quickly as a child is able to reason and comprehend, he can go for baptism. ....not a baby ....it is not a dormant activity, it is action packed because it announces you to your world and your ministry like that of Jesus is established.
I agreed with you,,,, baptism shouldn't be done to a child

Culture › Efunsetan Aniwura: Yoruba’s Most Powerful Woman That Ever Lived? by Sammy07(op): 9:05pm On Apr 01, 2017
The story of Efunsetan Aniwura is perhaps one of the most motivating thrillers in Yoruba political history. It captivates, in the most astounding manner, the place of women in Yoruba political history. But all along, the story of Efunsetan had been written and foretold by her tormentors and painted grimly by mostly chauvinistic men.
It must be understood the context of Efunsetan’s coming into global fame, at least at this time, the World was defined as the circumference within which local people operated within a phenomenon.


The 1700s up to 1900 were centuries of great wars and arms build-up in the vast Yoruba country of old. It was a period of great revolutions and social upheavals across the Yoruba country. It saw the massive production of weapons and the importation of military hardwares by Yoruba leaders, from as far as Hambourg in Germany.
I visited the Ogedengbe of Ilesa few months ago and was thrilled by the amazing exploits of Ogedengbe, the war General who led the Ekitiparapo war and who by 1860s was importing military weapons from Europe in the prosecution of war.


To show the grandeur of the Yoruba nation, around 1880, it was reported that the then King of England had invited Ogedengbe for a state visit. England marveled at the military tactics of Ogedengbe, his command structure, his Spartan lifestyle, his mysticism and above all, his science of war which he largely derived from the painstaking study of the movement and behavior of animals in moments of ferocious encounters with death or engagement with trembling. It was at this period that a bomb was invented at Okemesi, which turned around the fortunes soldiers of Ekitiparapo war led by Ogedengbe. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the word KIRIJI actually emanated from the sound of the new weapon produced at Okemesi Ekiti. General Ogedengbe, who was in command of about 100,000 soldiers, had declined the request for a state visit to England, saying that he was too busy with state matters. In Ilesa, during my visit, I saw the picture of the then King of England which the later had sent to Ogedengbe as a mark of respect and honour.


Back to the main topic. The story of Efunsetan Aniwura is intriguing. Her date of birth remains uncertain, but she must have been born around 1790s or around that period. Yoruba epic films and folklores portray Efunsetan as a very vicious woman, filled with prejudice, a woman who died in tragic circumstances. But there are hidden thrills and heroic feat that those who wrote his history continue to undermine. There is nothing as perplexing as having the story of a great woman being relayed by men, in a society credited for not giving women any chance in socio-political affairs, especially in the primordial times, where women were seen as objects consigned to the kitchen and on the mat top. It is to the glory of Moremi, that her story definitely ignited passion in subsequent Yoruba women, one of which was Efunsetan Aniwura.

This woman of substance has been consistently portrayed as a villain who ran a Gestapo of sorrow and blood, a blood-sucker who beheaded people’s head at will. No. We must deconstruct the narrative that veiled real stories under the cover of the superiority of men over the distinction of some brave women in our troubled history. Efunsetan was the son of an Egba farmer, Ogunrin, a native of Egba Oke-Ona. She rose to become the Iyalode of Ibadan. She was the first woman to set up a flourishing agrarian economy that employed no fewer than 2000 men and women. Around 1850, worried by the spread of war and combat in the Yoruba country, she introduced infantry military training into the midst of her workers. She was said to have had her own military training in urban and guerrilla warfare after which she requested that the same training be impacted on her slaves, about 2000 of them.

The workers mainly worked in the vast farmland. They produced cash crops, cotton, groundnuts, maize and beef. She was said to be in possession of a vast dairy farm that could feed the entire Yoruba country and beyond. She traded up to Ghana and the Hausa country and even exported her produce to Europe. In her book, A History of the Yoruba ,Prof Banji Akintoye wrote about Efunsetan who she described as a rich “woman trader” that ‘had more than 2000 workers employed on her farms.” This was at a time the industrial revolution was gaining strength in Europe and agriculture had become the most industrious enterprise in Yorubaland, being one of the service points for European products.


David Hinderer, a missionary who wanted to erect a Church in Ibadan could not source human labour because all the men and women were engaged in large scale farming. The Generals of the Yoruba Army had also taken to farming to beat famine as a direct consequence of war. Hinderer wrote of his travel to Ibadan in 1853 with a caravan of traders and carriers “consisting of not less than 4000 people.” Prof Akintoye wrote “It is not unlikely that Efunsetan was the richest person in the whole of the Yoruba interior in about the late 1870s.” Efunsetan had her own pains and anguish. She had no child after several years of marriage. Unfortunately, her only daughter died in 1860 during child birth. She also adopted a son, Kumuyilo. Now, having lost her only daughter, she went into recluse and became suspicious of life and living. She even became an atheist, ignoring all the gods wondering why she should lose her only daughter.


She may have been pushed to some form of extremism. She ordered that no one among her 2000 workers must marry or have sex within and non of the girls must conceive. It came that one of the workers broke the law. She ordered that the woman be executed. No doubt that she carried out outrageous order of execution, but this was nothing compared with her heroic contributions to the economy of the Yoruba nation. Due to this act, the Aare ordered that she be brought to justice. This was just the proverbial hawk that was looking for every opportunity to clawlift the chicken.


It is believed that her persecutors merely waited for her to carry out a dastardly act as an opportunity to seek revenge against her perceived emergence as a strong and influential woman, whose mutual rival was Madam Tinubu of Lagos who was also her friend. It was at a time her own army had become a threat to the fiery army of Latoosa. How could a woman raise such a vast array of armed soldiers? There are two varying accounts of her death. One claimed Aare Latosa led a strong infantry army to lay siege on her house and instead of being overpowered, she committed suicide by drinking the Hemlock.

At this period, her army had been divided and the loyalty fractured due to the execution of some of the 2000 workers for acts inimical to her authority. The other story said Kumuyilo was bribed by Latoosa to poison her but that the attack on her was carried out in the night by two of her slaves who sneaked into her apartment through the ceiling and clubbed her. There were events that indicated that the Ibadan chiefs were unhappy with the way Efunsetan was brought on her knees. Infact, with Latoosa there was a meeting on 8th of July when the Egba leaders came to Ibadan requesting for a Commission of Inquiry on the murder of Efunsetan.

The two slaves were subsequently brought before the Ibadan traditional court on 10th of July 1874. They were impaled right at the Basorun market. Efunsetan has been painted in forbidding pictures through Yoruba history. It is time to deconstruct and give her due honour as a heroine. At death, Efunsetan’s property was declared the property of the Yoruba country. `But there were other reports that she was indeed given a befitting burial with full military honours by Ibadan military rulers, after her enforced death.
