at this rate, people might revert to marrying spouses for their children and arranging the marriage as soon as a baby pops out and they've verified to their satisfaction.

you'll have a stories of folks being engaged from birth like it used to be in the old days.

end times, lord have mercy.

is this wave of men turning transexual a direct result of something other males are doing?

eg the butt fixation.

see the butt and hair attachment on this guy? huh

Btw the man looks like a photo somebody once posted on nl and which a lot of males were salivating over. Hope its not the same person, but the dimensions are the same. Massive hip region, same complexion and yes, hair attachment.

^^could be a coincidence or could be connected to the berber/moorish art which the iberian [spanish] pottery was based on at that time.

ife beads were traded as far as north africa i believe.

Sounds like your heart is with femi @ op.

However imo they say a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

If femi doesnt have a definite date in the near future for coming home and/or he doesnt have papers and so cant come home, then i think you should both date people who are available in your vicinity.

As per your current boyfriend who is a christian, well its up to you.

stop being selfish and hogging all the attention.

You cant find someone else to befriend the other guy?

I don’t feel like it’s made me become a better Muslim, and I feel almost like I’m deceiving people because they look at me as an example even though I’m still struggling with a lot of things
good points.
Islam › Re: The Mothers Of The Believers by tpia5: 6:05am On Nov 25, 2011
The wives of the beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, were either widows, divorcees or captives of war, except for Sayyidatina 'Aisha who was the only virgin he married.
hmm, that gives a little perspective, generally speaking.



He married into various clans and tribes. This strengthened the commitment of these clans and tribes
ancient yoruba culture had the same tradition.

of course one could also look at copernicus' heliocentric model of the universe which came out around the 16th century:

the circles or layers of each disk are approximately 7 or 8 in number.

not sure what that means but it seems 8 was an important number used in calculating ancient measurements.

Obanita couldn't have migrated from Egypt because the ancient Egyptian community didn't even exist during the time depicted. Prior to the first Egyptian Dynastic period, most of the communities in the Yoruboid, Edoid and Igboid communities were already established civilizations and or authorities.

In a sense, we are talking of periods that depict the times before records began
it wasnt that far back.

the fatimid dynasty in egypt might be worth looking into but the info on wiki is a bit hard to follow.

in visual arts you can call that a medallion but in custom rituals that's a sun disk
true.

could be a sun disk or the concentric circles/ripples made by a drop of water.

i'm trying to see if the crown insignia were modelled after any known lighthouse [eg the one at pharos which lasted until the 14th century], or minarets but so far cant really find anything.

and wondering why the medallions are situated at the base, instead of the top.

the insignia could also represent a flame perhaps.

olaudah was sold to a coastal people who culturally filed their teeth.

he spent some time with them as a slave then was sold to foreign slavers who shipped him to america.


jaja of opobo:

Jaja of Opobo (full name: Jubo Jubogha; 1821–1891) was a merchant prince and the founder of Opobo city-state in an area that is now part of Nigeria. Born in Umuduruoha, Amaigbo in Igboland and sold at about age twelve as a slave in Bonny
