The Names Of God Across Naija by 2prexios: 8:20am On Jul 27, 2014
I'm a christian and its Sunday. Glory be to the Lord God in the Highest, Olodumare. Thats one of the names of the Creator with the Yorubas. Its the holy day or rest day, thanks to Xtianity, if not we wont have Britain to spread such ''rest-day uniformity'' abroad. Before, it used to be: 'Ojo Ose' with the Yoruba, meaning "the inception day"

Ojo-Ose-Ibile is akin to 'sabbath day' (not 'Saturn day'=saturday as it is in medieval pagan Celtic culture for the seventh-day of the week).


We know God by His names and wonderful attributes before the advent of the universal religions that has come to us here in 9ja in our various tongues, so, let us invoke and appreciate HIM this morning as ever. Thanks and God bless.

Yes beloved, we are one people under God. Language is manmade, and so is culture. But God is constance, caring for mankind and hordes of His creations.
