@Samek_Samek Exactly the question I keep asking them. Do Yorubas cultivate beans?
English
These people will steal a culture or food, give it a name and claim it as theirs. Mind you, these people don't even produce cowpeas (dry beans) in any useful quantity but they are claiming to be the originator of cowpea/bean cake.

Akara is a Yoruba food not a Nigerian food. Thanks

Yorùbá and Australians are related, yeah, because of "Adelaide".

What more evidence do you need to accept that the Ooni of Ife is a priest?

I’ll be dismantling the Ile-Ife myth.

@Ovbiedo_ @supasupa1000 One day. Ile ife never existed
Another day, your moronic prince who died a wretch in ughoton is now oduduwa even though he's lived 200 years before him.
You bini cretins are funny as fuck

@supasupa1000 There is nothing like ife civilization. Oduduwa migrated to Ile-Ife from Benin.

@El_Kanawi9 @Oriafarrell1 So why use the one founded when people were already there?!
What's with Nigerian tribes and making casual genocidal statements
English
@Oriafarrell1 The were already there before then. But they were vassals of the Zazzau Kingdom that had conqured them centuries earlier. When Zaria fell the Hausa dynasty just moved the capital to Abuja.
English
Abuja was founded in 1828, by the descendants of Muhammadu Makau, the last sarki (king) of Zazzau, who led many of the Hausa nobility to Zuba after After Zaria was captured during the Jihad.

True or False: The name Abuja originated in 1828, when it was founded as an emirate town by the Hausa leader Emir Abu Ja. That original town was later renamed Suleja, and the name Abuja was officially reassigned to Nigeria's new Federal Capital Territory in 1976.

@0la_0f_ilorin Nobody asks we Christians to promote their religion. Not just make a dick measuring feel good entertainment slop that serves no purpose to the edification of Christian souls.
I for one think it's a devil's trick to let him off the hook and focus our gaze on irrelevant things
English
@amondDan Jesus also did not promote other gods as valid.
The Bible consistently rejects idol worship (Ex 20:3–5, 1 Cor 10:20). The difference is it calls for preaching the truth, not forcing or abusing people.
Rejecting a belief isn’t the same as demonizing people.
English
First, saying Olódùmarè and the Christian God are completely different is not a settled fact. Many Yoruba Christians and scholars have long used "Olódùmarè" as the Yoruba name for God because they see both as the supreme creator, eternal, all-powerful, and source of existence.
Oyíndà@yorubachic
1. Olódùmarè is not the christian god. 2. We don’t have gods, that is also a foreign concept. Most Òrìṣà are primordial forces and messengers of Olódùmarè. Olódùmarè is simply the creator of all things. Olódùmarè is considered the source of all existence and unlike the abrahamic god Olódùmarè does not have a human-like ego, does not demand worship, does not judge through a lens of sin and damnation, and does not have a chosen lineage of people, “Israelites”. The christian god is a way Middle Easterners interpeted the creator of all things and their culture and lineage developed a story around it. Which is why most of the story is about Israel and its people. It is their own and it was centred around them before it gained popularity. Iṣẹṣe is our own way we understood the world. All over the world different cultures interpreted the unknown in their own way. The middle eastern versions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are just the most popular. We need to look at religion or spirituality as what it really is, a way humans understood the unknown, and stop looking at things through a black and white lens. I think once we respect these boundaries then we can all coexist peacefully. All we are asking is for christians to stop calling Iṣẹṣe evil and demonising Yoruba traditions.
English
@0la_0f_ilorin So where does the scriptures ask us to demonize other faith?;
Because last I checked, Jesus certainly knew of other religions like the Greek gods. But we never saw him spoke against them or asked to demonize any other faith but simply to preach the good news
English
We also have the right to evaluate spiritual practices according to our own scriptures and convictions.
English
@Olatoun_ Not arguing about tribe either. I am saying it as a general thing. Christianity is rich and well enough to not need to be downgrading another religion(Yoruba or not) to make people see the light. It just brings disregard and a feel good dick raising for Christians, nothing more
English
@amondDan It’s not even about tribe. I used Yoruba because I am Yoruba and that is what the initial post is about. Hence, I was careful not to mention another tribe, almost as if I knew someone with poor comprehension skills would hop on my post.
English
So I have a very concerning opinion and I hope sane people with grounded thoughts can engage in this conversation. From his response, if I am not mistaken, the other part is termed darkness, why is that? Let me put it this way: I practice Christianity because I was born into it. My parents handed me the Bible and taught me the way of the Lord; as a matter of fact, I believe in God Almighty alone and He has worked for me. Not to forget or deny that growing up, I have been taught through teachings, movies, and communities, etc. that the Yoruba deity is evil/the devil.
Now imagine, in the same light, children are born and bred into Yoruba traditional worship. They have beliefs in their god and it is their way of life. Why are they termed darkness/evil/the devil? There are vast numbers of gods that diverse people believe in around the world why are they not all termed darkness or represented in movies as darkness? I have seen Indians worshipping their deity etc.
What makes the Yoruba deity darkness? Does the Bible specifically mention that? And if it’s the generic argument of man-made gods, every ethnicity has their own man-made gods. I need a sane discourse, no triggers please. I want to learn.

“Here we go again” and yet you couldn’t get through one paragraph without misrepresenting what Mount Zion actually does. Let me help. MZ doesn’t demonize Yoruba culture. It celebrates it; the colors, the language, the proverbs, the royalty. Eg. Abejoye became a born-again Christian while still speaking deep Yoruba, bowing before his king, and dropping proverbs that’ll make your grandfather nod. Nobody took his culture. The Gospel just took the throne in his heart. You framed this as “Yoruba spirituality vs foreign religion.” We never did. We frame it as Light vs Darkness and Darkness has no nationality. We’ve called it out in boardrooms, cities, and yes, in the villages. Location doesn’t exempt it. “Profiting from portrayals” MZ has 200+ films. Less than 30% are traditional settings. Your entire argument is built on a minority of the catalog, filtered through a lens of cultural grievance. That’s not analysis, that’s a feeling dressed up as a fact. People are asking questions? Good. Watch the films. The full ones. From start to finish. AGBARA NLA drops OCT 1. 🔥 The name of Jesus is still above every other name, in 1993 and in 2026.
English
Let’s put it this way shall we ? That entire acting organization (if I may call them that ) re Yoruba’s
Thinking that they shd have replicated another tribe , and spoke incantations from other tribe wud make their intention to act the movie unreal .
Can we just forget about what tribe was used , and listen to the message on the movie ?
Let’s not forget witchcraft ia not a tribe thin , it is personal thing pple venture into or re possessed with .

@synzubilyonzv12 @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa @grok Is to generate revenue. If he wasn't doing that, he would be fired much quicker. So the best thing for him to do is inflate the revenue.
And at that the revenue stated is still at 51 trillion roughly
You cant get a tanker size oil volume out of a Honda Accord car, not possible
English
@synzubilyonzv12 @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa @grok Yes they do this by inflating the revenue. Why brings me back to my initial statement. If truly we are to believe he stole 210 trillion, then nnpc budget total from 2017 would be about like 900 trillion naira.
You are talking of political standing, but the primary aim of nnpc
English
@synzubilyonzv12 @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa @grok Because these things are audited. By external auditors as well.
The real stealing comes from overinflating costs, and not lying about revenue.
Why would any head lie about revenue when it's the first thing is performance is judged by?!
He rather inflates it even
English
@amondDan @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa Why do you guys think like you guys are afraid to use your brain.
What’s your prove that NNPC revenue is around 51trillion ??? Ohhh because they said it lol.
@grok please explain to this guy how politicians and government official lie about revenue to loot money
English
@synzubilyonzv12 @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa @grok Lmao, all these makes sense if our budget isn't running on a deficit.
Because part of the around $35 billion Nigerian budget is what they would borrow that year.
By the way also, your screenshot is saying inflating things, which is against your argument
English
QME
@TicksResale @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @astrohyfa That's the government has to do PPP as well as with loans that would be recovered by tolling the road.
The crux of this matter is that they should sha recover what was stolen, but I feel they exaggerate these figures to hide exactly how much was stolen.
English
@fola_bos @TicksResale @tsiyl11 @astrohyfa How much is abacha loot?! And how much did you say he stole again in dollars?!
The difference is vast
English
English
@fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa Since 2017. And still the entire revenue of nnpc from that time is around 51 trillion naira till now. And remember he can't steal all of this because nnpc running cost for salaries and other things comes out of this budget
Still no where near 210trillion
English
English
@TicksResale @fola_bos @tsiyl11 @astrohyfa No, it doesn't. There's a reason our budget is hovering around $30 billion dollars.
Why is it why I am pissed that we don't realize the fact, that these guys are still stealing from the little we have.
A poor country with first world class thieves
English
@fola_bos @tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa Nigeria itself doesn't have that money for him or others to steal in the first place.
That figure is exaggerated my guy.
He definitely stole something, but not up to that amount
English
@tsiyl11 @TicksResale @astrohyfa He didn't steal the money alone and it wasn't stolen in one day .them no born am well to mention names he's in btw
English
@anasMwada Then he should rely on others to go to the states for him. He doesn't have to hobnob all over the place out of the 4 years he said he's going to perform his magic
English
You may laugh but that's the actual truth. You need to understand the problems, which i classify in to two
1 - Knowing Nigeria’s visible problems &
2 - Knowing why those problems persist despite decades of attempts to solve them
