See the rubbish they are celebrating. Outdated rubbish. If not for Stupidity and greed we would have been manufacturing our own jets. But northern backwardness will not allow it .

Its why we need to leave these fools alone. Let us divide and compete with the western world. Northeners will never adopt progress and will keep dragging us back because they are leaches.

Congratulations Nigeria

Great job President Buhari

God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria


We can see the results of good money spent... unlike corrupt, terrorist PDP that looted the destiny of Nigeria.

It is only IPOB TALIBAN that will remain in that useless party by 2023.

See mumu like you aboki.

We are familiar with the story of Elijah in the Hebrew scripture.

There seems to be a Yoruba perspective to it: Aja.

The name Ajagbe may be a repository of history that seek to immortalize the memorial of Elijah in anal of Yoruba liturgy. All that is left of that is a foggy tradition that we may still remember to some extent.

In one of Yoruba's storytelling, its often said that when there is whirlwind, someone can be taken away, and so, no one must get close to an active whirlwind. It is often said that whirlwind may take one away and when one comes back, one becomes very powerful.

The regular whirlwind is 'iji' in Yoruba, while 'Aja' is the one that takes one away that one may return and be very powerful. I want to think the belief is well rooted among ancient Yoruba, hence the name Ajagbe was coined to mean "taken away by whirlwind".

In fact, while throwing water on the whirlwind, the Yoruba often shout thief!! to break the whirlwind before it damages or takes anyone away. Aja is akin to Jah in Elijah, meaning 'El is Jah'. Aja is Yoruba for somewhere in the sky where one goes to become powerful.

Well you wont find Elijah in Yoruba tradition, but you will find a gist or a hint that shows that a man can be taken away by whirlwind unto the sky is tenable in Yoruba tradition, then you can bring the integrals closer to see how the story goes. who learnt from who?

Elijah's ascention is 'Ajagbe' to the ancient Yorubas, although they lost the records, but they kept the foggy idea till date.

Erimoje ni mi,
Omo Sa Aja...

We are africans. Yoruba. We have nothing in common with the middle east because you believe in their god.

Kudos keep the energy up until you are shocked. Anyway its our believe not yours. You're free to believe there is no heaven, hell, after life ..... You also can't tell us what to believe. It's a free world, and there are so many choices to make.

Enjoy your Sunday to the fullest and please don't let the second coming of Jesus Christ bother you, he's coming for his followers, so I don't think that concerns you... like really it doesn't.

Coming from the same people that go about with speakers making noise and demonizing other peoples belief. If your religion demonizes others for not believing in it then its against humanity. Yall are nothing but plebs of the society ready to be used to make the next pastor rich. Its been 2000+ years. Jesus isnt coming get over it and make something out of your lives and stop making africans look dumb.

The devil is avoiding some people but they are busy doing eye-service, throwing themselves at him, to be used as a tool for lies.

What lies? You lots cant even prove to us that your jesus exists yet the devil. Youre all always quick to blame the devil on anything haha. Keep wasting your precious life being delusional.
