You won't get any clue if u r just a let's go, let's go Catholic. They blatantly religate the scriptures and replaced them with the traditions of men.

Let's agree with them for a moment that they are Christians, as they claim.
They do not see the Roman as Christian Converts, they see them as the originators of Christianity.

And I ask again, are they categority stating that Christ was a Catholic, and all the apostles, were also Catholics? Those Asian churches Christ talked abt in Reveltion, were they Catholic churches.

Kk, give us examples of images that the isrealites bowed to, And let's see if those images are not made by direct instructions from god. Do not make for yourself , that was the instruction.

@Olaadegbu
Great post, as ever.
I pray the eyes of those who just can't see the sufficiency of the scriptures (in all matters of faith) will be opened by this post, in Jesus' name, amen.

@ Uben.
You know as well I do, that every idea is first concieved by one man, who nurtures it, then sells it to his audience.
The Idea of Mary (The Queen of Heaven) being venerated beyond what she is or was, started in the mind of someone. Praying to her and the Saints, instead of Christ as the only MEDIATOR between God and Man (1Tim 2:5).
I hope you know who the Queen of heaven is, according to Jeremiah 7:16-18

The idolatry in the Catholic religion started in the mind of a man, just like Charles Tass Russel, who sat down in a corner of his room and took justice away from God, thereby concieving the idea that God is too loving to purnish the wicked by letting them go to WHERE they choose to go(hell fire). It made sense to him, he then sold it to his audience, what do we ve today in that regard? JW.
What about Joseph Smith? What abt Muharmad of Arabia? It starts with one man.
So @ Uben, the name the man who thought it wise to replace the names or Biblical characters with the Greek and Roman deities,and then showcased them as mediators instead of Christ, may not ve been documented for the world to see, but we know it all started with a man concieving that idol ridden Religion, then selling it to the then power drunken men who wanted to rule the whole world.

They were not Christians and are still not.

For he that is called of God, speaketh the word of God. Not the traditions of the CHURCH. For 'even if an Angel from heaven comes and preaches a different Gospel from the one we have preached to you, let him be Accursed'

You can do that na, when you find And see the ark!.

Radoillo:
I think what that person said is geographically illogical. Assuming the Nri migrated from the east, why/how would they pass through Yorubaland before reaching southeastern Nigeria? The migration pattern would have had to be haphazard and very random for it to make sense.

In any case, the Nri point to the northwestern corner of Anambra State (=Aguleri) as the point from where their migration began, and from there they moved in a southeasterly direction to the present location of Nri towns. I fail to see how Yorubaland comes into the picture.

@Ubenedictus.
Mehnnnn, really good to see u.
My dear, Bills to pay, we can't afford to be here all the time. Just stealing time once in a while to see what my Christian folk are up to.
Sup with you man?

I don't know which hall that thread is right now, and no time to swim through searching for it.

bokohalal:
Thanks, Radoillo, for the scholarly work of Alan Ryder you had sent. I have read it once and will make a response,if any,after reading it again and digesting the whole. However, I did note that we seemed to be in agreement that Ewuare was a usurper.

Radoillo:
I myself have always felt that there is an etymological connection between Yoruba 'Ofo' and Igbo 'Ofo' -- one of those relics from the common language that both languages sprang from. 'Blessing/incantation/curse' in Igbo is 'Igo Ofo'. The Igbo took the 'Ofo' idea further by 'concretizing' it into a ritual staff, and built an entire philosophical system around it.

I see what you're saying with merin = four. But I doubt there is a connection there between Nrimenri and this merin, for reasons that may be too complex for me to put in writing.

Ubenedictus:
Anas09 gud to see u, we didnt complete our previous discussion on d other thread.

chigozie1010:
I say no more. You are still a kid who carries pamphlets to church. There's no need arguing with you because if I do, am only subjecting myself to your level of understanding.

Anas09:
From the mist of the Christian folk, this False teacher who concieved the very idea of fusing paganism into Christianity rose, just as Christ and Apostle Paul warned.
As far as am concerned, Catholicism is an independent religion outside christianity.

The Catholic Religion.

It took a single individual to think and Orchestrate what we now have as Catholicism. Infusion of Paganism with Christianity. All the Greek gods and goddessess, the roman deities, all replaced with biblical names. To make them seem right and christian. The rituals performed for them then, are still being performed by the Catholics today. You won't get any clue if u r just a let's go, let's go Catholic. They blatantly religate the scriptures and replaced them with the traditions of men.

Let's agree with them for a moment that they are Christians, as they claim.
They do not see the Roman as Christian Converts, they see them as the originators of Christianity.

And I ask again, are they categority stating that Christ was a Catholic, and all the apostles, were also Catholics? Those Asian churches Christ talked abt in Reveltion, were they Catholic churches.

Maybe, just like Muslims say, Adam, cain, abel, Abraham, moses, elijah all the Patriarchs were all Muslims. So also these men were Catholics.
Where did they get all the relics they use in worship in their Church? because those are not in the scriptures.

TalkingBird:
I was told that mans rulership failed from the garden of Eden.

Also I was told that man was not designed to rule his fellow man.

The I was told...."What else do you expect from a world ruled by the Devil. He controls all world affairs. No ruler no matter how well intentioned gets it right".

Oh how true all over the world.

onenaira3:
Someone wrote an I quote "according to intelligence report" blah blah happened and you believed it.

Then again wtf do I except from a chronic anioma hater. Obviously you'll believe it.

onenaira3:
I actually never knew you replied. Sorry for the late reply.

Are you talking about Kunirum Ossai?
My father calls him the laughing stock of anioma.
One time I was actually researching a topic, I learned that osai was the founder of a very popular anioma association in USA, it's called Anioma Association USA. This man literally left that association and disassociated himself from it because none of the members of all the chapters were agreeing with him.
My parents especially my father calls him a laughing stock, I personally thinks he's a low self esteem coward. He refuses to sit and actually allow others to argue with him in his history distortion attempt by him rather he seeks his like mind. I heard he's dead.. I don't wing to the dead but if he is, I'm glad. Him and emeka esogbue are so much alike because Emeka is exactly the same way. Rather than argue with those with opposing views, him waka run and open up a site just to rant out whatever nonsense that comes out of his mouth.
I keep saying it the worst thing our ancestors did was allow the bini to stay after they defeated them. That's the worst thing.

Abagworo:
Such a shame. Chai! Igbos have really suffered. Imagine an Ika clan sending a large sum of money to Oba of Benin just to distort their own history. These Mbiri people should never talk where men are talking.

DelticStephEn:
I'm a girl not a boy though.
back to d topic.
that was what that idiot called Ossai was trying to do,he tried washing d brain of Anioma that we are Bini people.
he noticed no one was falling for his scam.
he decide to carve my own Ika as Bini people.
my happiness that day was that there was tens of us DAT day on d Facebook forum from ika who denied him and shut him down.
d idiot decided to create his own personal page where he and his rogue of a colleague will brainwash d gullible one.
but it was very unfortunate that non called for him.

DelticStephEn:
I long ago deactivated my account and decided to be visiting Naira land as a guest.
but this your madness of calling us immigrant in our own land made me decide to log in again to warn you for d last time.
I will pick war on you next time you put Ika in your madness or call us immigrant in our own land.
pls go take care of your Edo state.
Anioma can never be part of your Edo state.
I repeat
Anioma Can never be part of your Edo state

midetinz:
It's not because youtook ciprotab as a brand, even if you've taken another ciprofloxacin it might have occured that way. You are suffering from "photosensitivity reaction" a major side effect with group of drugs called floroquinolones and such feel gets worsened with exposure to sun. Treat the side eeffect as they appear and stay away from sun for now cos in some cases,it's very life threatening. Unfortunately,there's nothng you can do about it as it appears in 1% of population that takes the drug. And in that 1% , it's 100%. Sorry dude

OfoIgbo:
It is a pity that records were not kept. But I won't be surprised if it turns out that the Eweka royal family are of Nri ancestry. I know you must have come across ILE-IBINU, but do you know that
1) We believe Bini was derived from ILO-OBINU, which is an Igbo phrase that means A ROAD TO BITTER HEARTS
2) EWEKA is IWEKA which is an Igbo phrase that means that ANGER IS GREAT, supposedly describing the inhabitants.
3) OBA is a title born by highly respected individuals in Umu-Nri towns, and the word does not mean KING in Igbo. A few weeks ago, someone wrote in nl that OBA does not also mean KING in Edo.
4) Obas in Benin were crowned by Nri priests, up till the crowning of Ewuare
5) Anthropologists recorded that Eze Nri Obalike mentioned IDU as one of the territories under the Nri cultural influence when he was interviewed by early Anthropologists.
6) Most Igbo villages and town were "governed" by councils of elders and nze and ozo titled men before the coming of the white man, but according to Umu-Nri records, about sixty something towns had Igwes most of whom trace their ancestry to Nri. Places like OraEri and Ogwashi-Uku included. Back in those days, thdse communities preferred Nri royal houses because of their culture and traditions and civilisation. I won't be surprised if this was also the case in Benin, thus leading to the installation of the IWEKA dynasty, which led to the Nri cultural influence that can still be observed in Benin culture

wytecat:
You have this big problem of identity crisis, and trying to make up for it by fitting in any ethnic topic.

You are not Yoruba, be proud of your confused tribe!

macof:
There's still much that is not known about Ife. . A map will not tell us that

Isn't oriki a yoruba thing?

wytecat:
Exactly, your empire was about kidnapping unarmed innocent people. You are still doing that today via the militants anyway. So much for a poultry empire.
This is how powerful y'all were lied to that you were. Lies! You were scammed.

Those who had an empire no matter how small have some to show for it today.You were never anything and still ain't anybody!

mandarin:
Interesting thread. But I don't like the way intellectual issues as this is being treated like joke.

Few years ago when the Benin monarch wrote his book on Elkaderhan and it baceme a thorough argument, channels tv in its one sunrise Saturday morning program hosted the second in command to the king, one chief named Akpata(remember?)
One salient point made by him on the program was that although he may not be able to talk on the ogiso era, but the last 920 years record in Benin palace showed that the Oba ruling houses have always been Yoruba or Ife. He said Yoruba has been the palace language and some prominent Bini families, think he mentioned Bello Osagie family too.please check channels tv archive if you are interested.
I strongly believe the relationship between Yoruba(ife) and Benin is of blood relation. What I seek to know is the extent of the old Ife kingdom, until proven otherwise I believe it covers from Ife through Ekiti to fringes of Delta.
Using the term Yoruba itself limits our knowledge of a people who were ancient and had links with Egyptian empire.

OfoIgbo:
The four market days that Bini people use are traceable to Nri, which is an Igbo clan. In fact those market days are deities owned and controlled by the Nris.
That is why IGU ARO in Igboland is only performed in core Nri towns like Nawfia, Agukwu-Nri, Nawfia and I believe Enugwu-Agidi will be getting into the act soon
