Elba believes the paternity turmoil has been a form of karma for his previous sins.

yes, it does happen and could be part of a planned attack on the girl and/or her family.

unfortunately, the girl might be unaware of such, and just think its random.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Much Ado' About 'ember' Months. by tpia5: 11:08pm On Sep 24, 2013
its the latter part of the year, so there are many superstitious folks who attach meanings to that time.

superstitious meaning those who want to do harm, not just the victims who are the recipients of harm.

xoctic: Wow, so nice of them. If they are so nice, I wonder y their child's weddin didn't work.
well, this type of thing was featured in the wedding planner, girlfriends, etc.

we dont always know why things happen, or sometimes we do but dont know how to handle the consequences.

in any case, someone who is feeling that doubtful about the wedding, i guess would probably do the partner harm had they gone ahead.

perhaps.

bukatyne: Have you seen a married man disturbing himself about the other man before?
yes, i should think they do, unless the couple are so far gone it doesnt matter who is scr*wing who.



He has the common sense to know that his wife is the problem and not the other man.
we all wish!





I am sorry I'm not all those wear black pant red bra cook sweet food wonderful sex preachers. If that"s what you want to hear, there are a lot of threads to that effect.
true.

i also dont always get the logic behind underwear and cooking is the only thing to marriage.

unless its meant in a "spiritually esoteric" sense i suppose, ie juju things.

prexios: i have been going throught the Bowen stuff that Physique shared, meantime, this is what i have as to Bowen on Yoruba

In adventures and missionary labours in several countries of interior of Africa, from 1849 to 1856 (vide the book Ife the holy city of the Yoruba: an annotated bibliography, by Stanley and Richard Olaniyan) Bowen noted that the sun had not been a reliious object among the people of west Africa "except at ifeh, where there was said to be large brazen(e.i. brass) images of these objects, and a brazen chain which fell down from heaven. Bowen was told that Ifeh, where men were created was on the sea.
this was discussed previously, although not with reference to bowen.

there was a thread where the ife stone sculptures were mentioned.

Well, we do not always know the reason behind things, ie the why and wherefore, but at least the preparations werent a total loss.

Even in the bible, Jesus spoke of a similar incident where people refused to show up for a wedding and so feast was attended by non-invitees instead.


People get too caught up in the wedding glitziness anyway, not caring that wedding is totally different from marriage.

CultureRe: Yoruba Origin, History and Canaanland connection. by tpia5: 5:17pm On Sep 24, 2013
oba ti ala would mean a king who we saved, or a king who saves/delivers.

could also mean a king who we divided.

ala can mean white tunic, granted.
CultureRe: Yoruba Origin, History and Canaanland connection. by tpia5: 5:15pm On Sep 24, 2013
i dont see how la would apply to olokun because olokun is olu okun, not ola okun (?).

can you explain how you arrived at your conclusion?

descriptions of obatala list him as a contemporary of oduduwa (thats the version on wiki).

although, i havent studied the legends in depth.

Most of the 'linguistic' 'evidence' that has been advanced on this thread would simply be laughed at by professional linguists. (Obatala is Oba of Atlantis, etc etc. LMFAO! WTF)
this "la" in obatala needs further study.

@ topic

does the "la" refer to deliverance, salvation, or divide?

eg igbala- deliverance vs la omi- divide or open
