what is the meaning of Jagaban please, I notice it's used frequently on nairaland.


as per topic, what am I supposed to type.

Answering a queation with a question is rude. Doesn't your bible teach you manners?

no it doesnt, unfortunately.

Does whatever you follow not teach you how to answer questions?

AtheistD:
He was supported by the pope and given financial support to defend Christendom from the Ottoman Turks.


A real violent man, brutal, but played a significant role in checkmating Ottoman progression. His achievements were heavily underrated due to the greed of his allies and his brutality.

well, these things should be included in some of the dracula movies since most people (especially blacks or africans) are not aware.

it's interesting the discovery of the Americas and expansion into Africa sort of speeded up in the years after these events, and new territories were opened.

You should care what people say about you (that you know of), but also judge if their opinion is biased/bigoted and why they are saying it (what are their motives).

they dont do poverty.

hahn:
Of all the stories in the bible, the story of Noah and his ark has to be the most compelling and also the most probable to have left evidence. However, the ark has never been found despite the fact that it was big enough to contain all the animals in the world.

Christians, do you have any explanation for this?

what do you think happened to it?

or do you feel it should be found just like dinosaur bones.

Adechina Remigio Herrera (Obara Meji)
Adechina (“Crown of Fire”) is credited as being one of the most important founding fathers of Ifa in Cuba. A Yoruba born in Africa and initiated as a babalawo there, he was enslaved and taken to Cuba as a young man in the 1830s. Legend has it that he swallowed his sacred ikin ifa used in divination in order to take them with him across the ocean. An intelligent and gifted man, he later bought his freedom and became a powerful property owner in the Havana suburb of Regla. In addition to his large African and Creole religious family he had many influential godchildren from Havana’s Spanish, white elite and had important high society connections. He set up a famous religious institution, the Cabildo of the Virgin of Regla (the Cabildo Yemaya) in around 1860, which became a powerful centre of Ifa and Orisha worship. Along with his daughter, the famous Ocha priestess Echu Bi, he organised the annual street procession on the feast day of the Virgin of Regla, every September 7th. Each year seminal Afrocuban drummers like Pablo Roche Okilakpa would sound the mighty Ilú batá in honour of Yemaya as they processed around the town. Incredibly, Adechina is also reputed to have returned to Africa, the land of his birth, in order to acquire the sacred materials needed to initiate babalawos. He returned again to Cuba with these sacred items in order to build Ifa there.
All the mojubas (prayers and recitals of lineage to honour the ancestors) of babalawos in Cuba include Adechina.
A great man who helped carry African profound spiritual knowledge to the Americas, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather in Ifa, I salute you.
Mo juba Oluwo Adechina Obara Meji, ibae bae tonu.
For the fathers we choose, and who accept us.

where was he from?

"Born in Africa" is rather general.

and yes, it seems some babalawos travelled with the slaves voluntarily although i dont know if that was the case here.

Radoillo:

It has to do with our (Yoruba) tradition concerning the new Oni of Ife.

I'm a muslim, a practising one at that. There's this christian brother in my neighbourhood, even though we're not that close but we do talk once in a while and also watch and argue football matches together sometimes. Just yesterday, he came to me and said brother, i'm not asking you to become a christian but if you can be going for church services and vigils once in a while your life will change for better and you shall give thanks to God for wonders and good things He'll do in your life. He said me, being a graduate and after swallowing my pride to also learn printing works after searching for job for so long, that i'm not supposed to be suffering like this at all. He said he's not asking me to leave my religion but i should give what he said a try. Do you really think i should do that?

are you asking me or?


Do i know you?

if na money you dey share, do you ask for my opinion?

Scam.

you folks are still trying to test Akure?

nwababyoku1:
B5ecause I'm somehow ashamed.. When you have been forming hard geh in public.
Plus he's moved on.

If he's the one I found, and I see him I don't think I'll be able to hide t

If he's not the one on NL, then he probably wouldn't know still.

But I'm 99% sure he's the one.

sir or ma

stop deceiving people plz.

nwababyoku1:
So I found him on Nairaland, the one I let get away.

I noticed after I checked his dp, even though he concealed his face, I KNEW it was him.

I'm writing this here because I'm to shy, to ashamed to say it to you in person, or text you etc.

After I saw the dp, I realised you have the same birthday with him(you) and your old posts from 2010 where you were talking about realizing your first love would never love you as much, truth is I liked you just as much probably even more, but I didn't think you liked me that much, I didn't want to be vulnerable, afraid of getting hurt, forming strong girl/ hard to get, etc. So most times I acted like I didn't like you.

I realise it's too late, but just so you know, nothing has changed.


Your first name and last name start with the same letter, almost every girl liked(s) you (scary something),

This is pathetic I know, but I just want you to know that your first love felt the same way about you, she only had troubles expressing it.


Boboyekini.

Just seeing the name.

Are you saying boboyekini is your ex?

You go tey for there.

Wa pe nbe.

( you go tey for there).



Too much scams. Its a free forum, or does being your alledged "ex" mean somebody can't browse the internet again?

The river Niger will just keep depositing sediments making dredging a continuous/expensive effort.

The best option is still the Ibaka port.

Hm.

Any studies about ibaka port that can be examined?
