That's for people who are broke and lacking.

I now understand why Albert Einstein rejected being the president of Israel when it was offered to him on a platter.

Why? I'm sure you are his PA

It is the drinking and smoking that makes you disinterested. Stay away from intoxicants for a while and see how everything will open up.

Smoking and alcohol create some mental loops like what you are experiencing don't be surprised every addict feels dsame.

I remember that otokoto time. God save me and my paddy. I want for youth service at abia state, I remember driving through owerri enroute abia. I saw lovely hotels approaching owerri, one that caught my eyes was chibet hotel, a brand new shining syricture, in my mind I said owerri must be a goodtime zone.
After a week or so in the orientation camp, I and my new paddy in the camp decided to drive from the orientation camp to owerri from goodtime, I had called a chick who was staying with family in owerri.
We had drinks in town when it was late we started looking for hotels to stay. Omo, we landed in this otokoto hotel. We were about to pay for room, I out of the blues asked for drinks to buy, they said the bar was closed so not alcohol. That was what saved our lives. We decided not to lodge there since we wount be able to get beers.
Few weeks after orientation we decide to go home before commencing service in our places of primary assignment. I was shocked to see destruction everywhere when we drove pass owerri, even that chibet hotel had been burnt down. That was when we heard of all the crimes being commited at that otokoto hotel. That you will lodge, people will come in at night with spare keys, slaughter and the harvest organs for sale by the hotel owners son, while the remaining parts will then be used for rituals by the father.

You aware it's mere rumour

Actually they can be nice especially if they like you. Even if you can't swim you won't drown. They will use their special powers to protect you. But if they fall in love with you they might propose marriage and ask you to come and live with them.

And that's their destiny

So you want a computer to determine your reality and alter what existed in the past?

I've learnt something new today

TruthHurts1:
There is no definitive historical or archaeological evidence from Mecca that confirms the existence of a figure named Oduduwa. The claim that Oduduwa, a central figure in Yoruba mythology and history, originated from Mecca is primarily based on oral traditions and certain Yoruba migration narratives, such as those recorded in Samuel Johnson’s History of the Yorubas. These narratives suggest that Oduduwa, regarded as the progenitor of the Yoruba people, migrated from Mecca due to religious conflicts, with his father, Lamurudu, being a king there.

However, several factors cast doubt on this connection:

1. Lack of Archaeological or Documentary Evidence in Mecca: No records, inscriptions, or archaeological findings from Mecca or the broader Arabian Peninsula directly reference Oduduwa or a figure matching his description. Historical records from Mecca during the period in question (often placed around the 7th to 10th centuries) are sparse, and none corroborate the presence of a Yoruba-related figure. Furthermore, research questioning Mecca’s prominence in the early 7th century suggests it may not have been a significant cultural or political center at the time, which complicates claims of Oduduwa’s migration from there.

2. Yoruba Oral Traditions and Mythological Context: Yoruba traditions often blend historical and mythical elements. Some narratives describe Oduduwa as a divine or semi-divine figure who descended from the heavens to Ile-Ife, the spiritual cradle of the Yoruba, rather than migrating from a physical location like Mecca. These accounts, such as those in Ifa corpus or other Yoruba oral histories, prioritize a cosmological origin over a geographical one, suggesting the Mecca story may be a later interpolation or symbolic narrative.

3. Alternative Origins: Other Yoruba traditions and scholarly interpretations propose different origins for Oduduwa, such as from Benin (Edo) or other regional locales like Nupe, or even as an indigenous figure from Ile-Ife itself. These competing narratives, supported by local histories and archaeological findings like those at Iwo Eleru, indicate a deep Yoruba presence in West Africa predating any potential Middle Eastern migration.

4. Historical Context of the Mecca Narrative: The Mecca origin story may reflect later cultural or religious influences, possibly introduced during interactions with Islamic traders or scholars in Yorubaland from the 11th century onward. The spread of Islam in West Africa could have led to the incorporation of Mecca into Yoruba oral traditions as a prestigious or symbolic point of origin, rather than a literal one.

5. Skepticism in Scholarship: Some scholars and online discussions, such as those on platforms like Nairaland, argue that the Mecca story lacks substantiation and may be a colonial-era or post-Islamic construct. Archaeological evidence, like artifacts predating 500 BCE in Yorubaland, supports the idea of an indigenous Yoruba culture, challenging the need for an external origin like Mecca.

In conclusion, while the Mecca migration story is a significant part of some Yoruba traditions, there is no concrete evidence from Mecca itself—archaeological, textual, or otherwise—to confirm Oduduwa’s existence there. The narrative appears to be more rooted in cultural, religious, or political motivations within Yoruba history than in verifiable historical records. For a deeper understanding, exploring primary Yoruba oral traditions or archaeological studies in Ile-Ife may provide more context than Mecca-based sources.

Hello Nairalanders, for almost a year now, I've been struggling with jock itch. At first, I didn't know what it was called; I just knew I would get very itchy on my thighs around my private area.

So, I went online and discovered that what I had is called jock itch - a fungal infection that can be caused by moisture around the pubic area. Jock itch is very itchy and leaves a very ugly rash on the skin.

I used Funbact A, and it worked - the rash would clear off. However, immediately I stopped using it, it would come back, and the rash would spread faster. Right now, it's back again, and I want to get Funbact A. But I feel like there should be a very strong antifungal cream better than Funbact A, which is why I'm here. I need recommendations from health practitioners in the house. What can I use to get rid of this infection?

NB: The picture is gotten from Google.

Oga this infection should be treated from the inside not outside.
I'll help you with one herb , it's drink and soap the fungal or bateria infection would be gone in a week.
Seen yours don't seem too severe.

And okay I'm giving you the herb for free.

As a kid people did alot of things to have some money in their pocket to do one or two things and they go desperate if there is no money.
From selling of empty bottle cans to people buying empty bottles and also selling iron condemned.
On one occasion, a friend of mine as a kid was so broke that he stoned a lizard ,that one they call ogbaikpo(red neck) and the lizard was taken to the local market for sale to market women that do use it for local juju.
Unknown to him the lizard was still not fully dead .
When he arrived at the market and opened the container where the lizard is for the market woman, the lizard moved quickly and the market woman he was selling to screamed.
Both my friend and the market woman scampered for safety lol.

He carried over his religious indoctrination over to spirituality, not realizing that religions don't know what they're talking about, they don't even understand what's written in their own holy books.

Guy your signature is crazy , it's referring to op because intelligence and knowledge goes hand in hand

musicwriter:
What I told you is what the ancients who invented these things called it. They made a distinction between Satan and Devil.

Satan is a principle that takes the role of what appears to us humans to be in opposition to God but it's in a bid to achieve something good, just like arriving at peace through war.

But Devil means bad, not good, anti-good. That's what the ancients said.

My sources are

1. The biography of Satan by Kasey Graves

2. Satan: an autobiography by Yehuda Berg

If interested, these and more books could be sent to you, and when you read them, I am sure you'll understand.

You can't just wake up and say you saw in a vision without research. That's how all the so called holy books were written, which is why they're not reliable accounts.

So, let me know who you're quoting, otherwise you're not better than any religion you want to dismiss.

FitCorper:
There is this worrisome trend amongst nairaland guys from the numerous threads that grace romanceland, one can accurately conclude that “sexual indiscipline” is a common denominator in almost all their complaints. If you do not control “lust” as a man, it will ultimately end up destroying you.
No other demon (addiction) is as dangerous as lust, it will slowly start off as harmless fun until it gradually erode your sense of reasoning which is very risky as you will end up being a role model to someone consciously or unconsciously.
Yesterday I came across a post that brought me tears, where by a young man got a prostitute pregnant and she aborted it and now they are about to get married and live in the same neighborhood.

https://www.nairaland.com/8487898/finally-getting-married#136297287

If this is not madness then I don’t know what else to say. As for the young man, all I can say to you is desist from embarking on such suicidal mission.
If you must be foolish and proceed then better hold Jesus strong e get why.
I will leave with this word of God.

The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who is under the LORD’s wrath falls into it. Proverb:22vs14
