But no.

We must wait for JULIUS BERGER of Germany, or CCECC of China before we can have paved roads or sidewalks today.

Why?

It's just terrible.

Colonialism just cut us off completely from our ancient technology which we could have developed to world class standards by now.

Instead, today we look for toxic materials to pave our surroundings, and after 3 years or less, they deteriorate with potholes everywhere.

But these ancient pavements dated thousands of years old have stood the test of time, because they are of indigenous innovation, and therefore suited perfectly to our territory and climate.

I understand we also manufactured GLASS in industrial quantities for export many hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.

Researchers have found evidence of large ancient glass factories in southwest Nigeria.

Here are some of the ancient pavements of Ife, Ilorin, Benin etc dating back thousands of years before Europeans knew what a pavement was.

Our ancestors paved roads as well as their own houses and compounds, using broken potsherd edges and stones.

WHY CAN'T AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE NO ROADS OR SIDEWALKS, DO THIS TODAY USING OUR TRADITIONAL PAVING TECHNOLOGY?

Dsimmer:
One thing to know is it's stupid for anyone to change his identity because of a religion. The Asians are still Asians with their identity today and are doing fantastically great. Point is If God is said to be all knowing, he should know everyone's identity which is the person's culture/heritage, hence God is not stupid nor dumb to not understand all the languages spoken to him. You don't have to change your culture in order to communicate with God, except the person is saying God is stupid and doesn't understand that there are diverse races on earth who speak diverse languages. In fact, anyone who does such in a bid to communicate with God is more or less saying God is stupid!

In fact , if I were to talk about the Yoruba religion, Ifa which is filled with a lot such as science, innovation, creativities etc and yes, fasting is no stranger to Yoruba religion. Fasting is what is called "Isera" in Ifa while prayer/petition is called "Ibewe". So all these things are not strange to Yoruba religion. Yoruba had always known about Isera before Jesus fasted on earth. Jesus was regarded as the first to fast in these foreign religions yet the Yoruba already knew about fasting (Isera). As a matter of fact, fasting has no specific time because it's between you and your God. In fact, your fasting mustn't be known to anyone. That's why it's called Isera. So, that's about Isera and Ibewe in Yoruba religion.

While Isera is related to prayer, it's also a principle to ensure discipline and fitness, especially for the gluttons who know next to nothing than food. However, this doesn't mean one should constantly starve himself because that's also not healthy hence the idea behind aseje.

Secondly, God expects nothing from anyone except for the creations to go display their intelligence and creative talents to make the world a civilized better place.. Also see others as oneself in the sense that what you don't want done to you, don't do it to others. Don't steal for example if you don't want it done to you.

Speaking of intelligence and creativity for example, a lot of things mentioned in Ifa is to civilize the people. Gbere sinsin done by making incision and also squeezing juices from medicinal plants into the incision made for example were known as traditional acupuncture back then which later birthed the idea of syringe injection. Aseje is the principle that birthed taking meal before medication which is applied in hospital today. And so-on. Meanwhile, the aseje was part of what birthed the several Yoruba's cuisines 😂 Also, The Yoruba already started road construction before the Europeans came. Not to mention agriculture, mathematics, creative arts and designs etc.

You are 1000% correct.

Here are some of the ancient pavements of Ife dating back thousands of years before white people knew what a pavement was.

Our ancestors paved roads as well as their own houses and compounds.

MaxInDHouse:
Our own people has handcuffed the Gods and they are all hypocrites and thieves.

Ask them:

Do you want 24/7 power supply?
Do you want good roads?
Do you want housing and feeding to be cheap?
Do you want peace and security?
Do you want justice?

To all these questions they will all shout "YES"

But then ask them if all civil servants should be paid equal salary that's when they will start insulting you.

It's like we all had a gigantic tuber of yarn and a big knife we also chose a leader to share it among us but we don't want him to share it equally for everyone to have a fair chance abeg who will not say:
"èmi ló kàn"
"It's my turn"

So don't mind them they're all wicked at heart if the Gods should interfere they will kill everyone who is in support of iniquity not just those in power because all of them have the same thing in mind.

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Thank you my brother. You are indeed a wise man, with the golden wisdom of our ancestors.

When the Gods return (because they will return) they will know the heart of everyone, including those who will resist fairness and equality, and they will act accordingly to cleanse humanity, as you have stated.

Dtruthspeaker:
He-dot! Is it religion that created and built things or people? And is the topic about buding things or about worshipping things you create? And by forgetting your own post you prove you are M.O.R.O.N!

LOW IQ.

He doesn't understand the connection between religio-cultural independence and socio-economic development.

Go back to sucking white nuts.

That's what you were born to do.

Air head.

Obidients’ IQ is too low to absorb this type of wisdom.

OP, please have mercy on them.

Procashtips:
So this is the new propoganda method ApC government is using?

Use jobless people by paying them ₦30k to go online spreading fake and misleading information just to whitewash their failures?

They'll never include any source and when they do, you'll discover they're all lies.

Bag of rice is still above ₦70k.(Mama Bull is ₦83k)
Spag ₦1100
Soap I was buying ₦3500 for 3 is now one for ₦2500.


Believe whatever online if you're gullible.

Go to the market to see for yourself.

Shut up.

Is there only one market in Nigeria?

Price increase and decrease doesn’t occur uniformly across one city, never mind the entire country, so you just typed rubbish.

crackhouse:
Which good news? Super pack they sold for 5700 naira before Rose to 17k and drop to 14k and u said it's good news? How?

You have no sense.

Price falls gradually just as it rises gradually.

Did it jump from 5700 naira to 17k overnight?

No.

But it must fall back overnight to the lowest price before you see progress.

Rubbish.

Imagine being angry and upset that prices are falling?

These animals hate Nigeria.

Disgusting, despicable specimens.

FarmPlanetNG:
Eternal fire is not a joke. And it will.be too late to make amends and repent after death. Accept Jesus Christ today because there is no repentance after death. And dying in sin means to be thrown into eternal fire

Shut your brainwashed, lying face.

Only an absolute BRAINWASHED person believes the nonsense that the SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS AND ISN’T will “burn you in fire” for anything you have done as an ignorant, fallible human SOUL separated temporarily from THE SOURCE by an illusion.

Nyascobar1414:
True. Life is a dream,when we die we wake up

THIS IS ACTUALLY 1000% TRUE.

I have read numerous accounts of near-death experiencers who have been to the Other Side and back, and they ALL say the same thing: That this life is like a dream, and the Afterlife felt far more ‘real’ than this Earth experience.

kingthreat:
They call it blood money for a reason. It eventually graduates to that.

Actually it’s your going to church and mosque that eventually graduates to kidnapping, Yahoo, armed robbery, banditry, corruption and murder.

Those who commit those crimes are Christians and Muslims, not traditional African religionists.

ProudNigerian01:
I guess people are allowed to do what they like with their property so long as it is within the confines of the law.

My problem is with those people that do juju and still call themselves Christians and then they will say it's giving to caesar what is for Caesar.

If you are one of such persons, please remove Christianity from your profile and focus on your juju.

99% obedience of Jesus Christ is a total waste of time. Better start giving your 100% if not on the last day you will be told: depart from me, you worker of iniquity.

You have been told, don't claim ignorance.

And what if you get there and discover that God is actually Orunmila and not your fake white imported Tokunbo deity ‘Jesus’?

Elzazzi:
So what's wrong with that? If the person believes in African traditions and follows it how it bad ?

Did he kill anyone? Rubbish

Don’t mind the stupid, brainwashed idiots.

It is okay for him to place images of white magician “Jesus”, everywhere and anywhere in the house, but African religion totems are “evil and satanic juju”.

Ignorant, stupid, rotten-minded, brainwashed fools.

Please tell me where I can find some ancestral protection to put in my house jare.

Anyone who objects to it can go jump in a fcking lagoon.

The thieving English colonisers built that big, beautiful cathedral to turn you all into worshipers of a white “saviour”, but never built a single industry, engineering institute, power plant or full fledged university till they left, despite exporting resources worth trillions of dollars in total, over an entire century.

Criminals with a ‘holy book’.

No biggie.

Go and study electricity to understand why they are doing it.

Vixlot:
President Bola Tinubu arrives in Minna, Niger State, to inaugurate the mechanised agricultural project initiated by the Niger state Government led by Farmer Umar Bago

I love his title, Farmer.

ambale:
God bless you, if there are systems that work, would people be dependent on them?

To get a decent job na connection, to even see pastor sef na connection

And yet you think they won't mount pressure on you

Vicious cycle spotted.

How would “systems work” when officials are looking to cash out because of your pressure on them?

MaxInDHouse:
The Gods only fights where fairness and justice for all is what you all agreed upon but where there is no fairness the Gods becomes helpless so if you want the Gods to act then pay everyone equal salary from the president to the gate man and equal benefits for all, with that in place you only need to tell the Gods that everything has been shared equally and if anyone goes behind to take what doesn't belong to him or her the Gods should deal with such individuals.

But in situations where someone is earning millions on monthly basis while others are given ₦30-40k monthly and all of you have the same market yet you're all claiming civil servants.

Ọmọ the Gods has been handcuffed so they are helpless!

Thanks for this.

Even what you typed here is GOLDEN ANCIENT AFRICAN WISDOM of the type we’ve discarded long ago.

You are indeed right. I didn’t even see it in this way, but it makes PERFECT sense.

100% perfect.

The Gods need us to decide that WE value ourselves as being equals, and value what they can bring to the table in terms of helping us to enforce that paradigm.

But without that fundamental acceptance of our equality, how can they do anything?

The imported capitalist system we practice, in which one man can legally own billions of dollars while his neighbour can barely feed, has totally confused the Gods.

They are thinking maybe that’s how we like it, so who are they to interfere?

The other day, I started a thread in the Politics section, urging our richest millionaires and billionaires like Dangote to establish ‘soup kitchens’ for the poorest to be served free food, and people were abusing me!

Saying it is not the job of private citizens to do that!

That it was the government’s job!

They’ve forfeited their common humanity to something called ‘the government’ who comprise less than 0.01% of the population!

Today, we not only accept inequality. We embrace it and REVEL in it.

So we are just lost in the way we reason nowadays.

No wonder the Gods are hiding from us.

We’ve totally lost our minds!

70 years is young sha.
I wonder what caused it.

kestolove95:
If religion was truly the pathway to heaven the white won't introduce it to Africans

EXACTLY what I wanted to type. Thank you very much.

I mean, we just need to think about this with clear eyes and brain that God gave us.

Why would people who have done nothing but rape, loot, colonize, enslave, slander, discriminate against, and exploit you and your land, EVER bring you the real GOD?

How?

Why?

It’s simply not possible.

Did this ‘God’ not teach them that it was evil to invade, massacre, rape, and enslave Africans and steal their natural resources?

Why would they give us the real God alongside their unrelenting evil?

Impossible.

It’s obvious that that thing they gave us was just to confuse us, and disconnect us from our powerful traditional spirituality.

The result? Corruption, greed, criminality, and racial inferiority complex, as we now worship a white man or Arab as our “personal lord and saviour”.

Can you imagine the insult?

They FKCED us up, big time.

This happens in Igboland, but not with the intensity described by the OP. People in Igboland still have a degree of self respect and decorum.

They won’t just flood your house because you were made a commissioner.

hardbody:
You will just open your mouth waaaaaa and be spilling nonsense. Visit other part of the country and either be kidnapped before he gets there or abducted when he gets there. Be playing ooo

You are so ignorant and shallow.

It’s so dangerous and terrible, yet there are MILLIONS of people there going about their daily lives with no trouble whatsoever.

But once little puny YOU get there, they will kidnap and abduct you immediately because you are so special, and God’s gift to mankind.

Mumu.

Indonesia's Batik Air faces probe after pilots fall asleep mid-flight

By Joel Guinto

BBC News


Indonesia is investigating local carrier Batik Air after both pilots were found to have fallen asleep for 28 minutes mid-flight.

The two men - who have both been temporarily suspended - fell asleep during a flight on 25 January from Sulawesi to the capital Jakarta.

One of them was reportedly tired from helping care for his newborn twins.

The Airbus A320 briefly veered off course but landed safely, with all 153 passengers and crew members unharmed.

The 32-year-old pilot had told his co-pilot to take control of the aircraft about half an hour after take off, saying he needed to rest. The 28-year-old co-pilot agreed, according to a report from the transport ministry.

But the co-pilot inadvertently fell asleep as well. According to the report, his wife had just given birth to one-month-old twin babies and he was helping with childcare.

Jakarta air traffic control tried contacting the cockpit of the Batik Air A320 after their last recorded transmission but received no response.

That radio silence lasted 28 minutes until the lead pilot woke up and realised that his co-pilot had also fallen asleep. He also found that the aircraft had briefly veered off course.

The pilots then responded to calls from Jakarta and landed the plane safely.

Medical tests before the flight deemed that the men were fit to fly. Their blood pressure and heart rate were normal and alcohol tests came back negative.

But while the pilots appeared to be fully rested, the tests failed to determine whether the quality of their rest was good, aviation expert Alvin Lie told BBC Indonesian.

Authorities have now "strongly reprimanded" Batik Air over the incident, with Indonesia's head of air transport, M Kristi Endah Murni, saying that Batik Air should pay more attention to their crew's rest time.

Batik Air has said it "operates with adequate rest policy" and that it was "committed to implement all safety recommendations".

In 2019, the same airline was forced to have an emergency landing after the pilot fainted.

Okay..we don hia.
Now go complete your Ramadan fast

I think Islam is just as ridiculous. They're BOTH crap.

What we need to do is revisit our traditional African religion and update it, just like the Japanese, Chinese, and Indians did with theirs.

Are you better off than them with your worshiping the white man and Arab man in the name of worshiping God?

You're just clueless slaves of European and Arab manipulation.

WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP?

The Romans invented the 'Jesus' character as a way of pacifying rebellious black Hebrews under Roman subjugation.

The Hebrews were awaiting a messiah that would free them from Roman oppression by fighting the Romans and defeating them in battle.

So to counter this rebellious mood, ie to ‘pacify’ them, the Romans invented a 'messiah' they claimed had lived a few decades before, who was named 'Jesus Christ', and was the ''son of God'', who preached love, peace, and forgiveness, and had asked the Hebrews to ''turn the other cheek'' and ''give unto Caesar what is Caesar's'' etc etc..

Simple manipulation of the people.

It was no wonder the Hebrews rejected the 'Jesus' story as fake. And those who adopted their ancient religion (modern day Israelis) still do today.

The very idea that the Source of All that Is, sent his ''son'' to earth to be killed, in order for him to be able to forgive humans their sins (rather than simply just forgiving them if he wanted to), is utterly ludicrous.

Even more demented is the idea that 'Jesus' showed his being the ''son of God'', NOT by ending world hunger, injustice, hatred, war, famine, etc, but by performing cheap party tricks like 'changing water into wine' and 'changing 3 fishes to 500' or whatever it was.

Walking in a river without sinking etc.

I mean, WTF?

And what's this stuff about him ''dying for our sins'' when he rose up on the third day and flew back into heaven before onlookers at a dinner table?

Why didn't he just take a long nap?

THE ONLY REASON any of you believe this stuff is that it was drilled into your heads as CHILDREN, before your brain was developed enough to filter out BS.

This is why you rarely hear about grown adults converting to christianity.

It's utterly senseless.

Man was not created by God.

Man was created by powerful beings who themselves are under God.

The bible and koran Gods are UNDER God.

Even from the way they behave in those 'holy' books - ordering killings, feeling 'jealous', and demanding worship - it's easy to see they are not GOD, if you are not brainwashed.

God, by which we mean the Source of ALL THAT IS, has nothing about him in books or 'holy' books etc...

He is physically aloof, does NOT demand worship, and allows Creation to exist with all its flaws because he knows that ALL shall return to Him, since ALL ARE OF Him, like droplets of an Ocean.

Our ancestors knew this stuff. This was why they rarely prayed to GOD. Only appealing to him when all the lesser gods failed them.

It was foreign religion that confused you.

LIED to you that God has a special ''son'' who is somehow different from us, and gave humans ''commandments'' etc etc.

And that his ''son'' had to be sacrificed and killed in order to make him forgive us our sins and all that RUBBISH.

There is absolutely no reason why the Source of ALL THAT IS will need to kill anybody in order to 'forgive'.

He can simply 'FORGIVE' by thinking about it.

Just as YOU can forgive, simply by thinking 'I forgive that guy'.

If YOU can do it, why cannot the Source of all Life?

What we call 'life' is really just a temporary illusion of separation from God.

In reality, we are ALL God experiencing existence in a variety of forms and fashions.

When you die, you will realise that THIS life is a dreamlike simulation, and the Afterlife is the REAL world, where our real home is, as powerful immortal souls.

FlatEarthGuy20:
Our ancestors were brainwashed by these aliens. Religion destroyed our common sense

Honestly.

The only reason we have corruption and mismanagement, greedy leaders etc, is that the moral restraints imposed on our people by our traditional religion was removed, and replaced with this nonsensical fake religion that says ''If you loot 10 billion dollars from the treasury and deposit it in London, ALL you need to do is 'accept Jesus as your personal lord and saviour', and he will 'FORGIVE' you, and you can keep the money, even as your countrymen and women starve.

Same with Islam. You can loot and steal public funds and engage in terrorism INSOFAR AS you visit Mecca on Hajj pilgrimage, and accept Muhammed as your prophet, or whatever rubbish they say.

Meaning that those so-called religions have NOTHING to do with piety or with God.

Just deliberately designed licenses to be wicked, corrupt, criminal, selfish, greedy, and murderous with no consequence.

Today our leaders place their hand on a bible and koran and are sworn into office, and start LOOTING the same day.

Because they KNOW the imported religions are USELESS at punishing evil and instilling piety that isn't fake.

If they had to swear with an Ofo or Opon Ifa, you can be guaranteed that corruption will end the next day.

What an amazing EDUCATION:
