Sometimes we really need to learn, unlearn and relearn

Are you saying these rivers were not in existence until they turned to River? I'm an African to the core but there are certain things we need to do away with and a good example is this. I mean, how can somebody turn to River?

I agree with you. But keep the same energy when Muslims and Christians talk about their own miracles.

Well, there is a very thin line dividing myth and reality. Just which year Sango reigned and how he became a worshipful deity is uncertain. But around that mythlike issue are vestiges of reality.
Long live Alaafin.



All these virtual realities
Sango might just have been a courageous person like Sunday igboho who did one or two remarkable acts and people not knowing better began to ascribe supernatural powers to him.
Years back when I hear the name Sunday igboho I used to envisage a mini god, but now that his problems have arisen and more is known about him, I read and learned that his first act of courage was in a filling station where he stood his ground against a politician who was trying to jump the que during a fuel scarcity. The politician for whatever reason took interest in him perhaps for parochial reasons like tinubu and politicians use touts as pawns to perpetuate their career. He, like others eg mc oluomi then fortunately was able to get financial breakthrough from his involvement with the politicians.
Sango was ordinary human who died and they're now claiming he transformed into a deity. Omo see fable

Very Apt.
Oba, Osun, and Oya were sango wives.
Funnily enough, the three wives became rivers.
Oya was his favorite and most loyal.

That's just a fictional myth as represented in "Belly Bellows" by Akinwunmi Ishola of blessed memory.
Ogun is one of the earliest Yoruba gods. Ṣàngó came later. They didn't live in the same era. Get your history right brother.

What their grand Masters in India do is just a trick the fhuckin snakes they use in performing and deceiving people have all their venoms removed.
Give them a cobra you just caught from the forest and tell them to use it to perform their tricks, two seconds will be too late before you see them running 4 by 400 metres race to their fhuckin homes .

A little check of the source of River Niger will make you know the Sango- Oya story was a myth.

River Niger's source is around Guinea close to the border of Sierra Leon and your myth and legend claims it somewhere in Nigeria. grin grin grin

Same with Nimrod of Babel/Babylon. Scriptural Babylon was actually in the region of South Sudan, Northern Ethiopia and extending to Yemen and NOT IRAQ as they lied to us. Many Israelite tribes, especially of the Northern kingdom followed after this Babylon concept of man-worship.

Nimrod was the first Sun-god. He is the one depicted as Santa Claus and his birthday is 25th December. Can you get it now? You see where the concept of replacing the worship of the Most High Creator with the worship of man began?

Most world religions trace their origin to babylon and the pagan worship instituted there. By the way, Nimrod was a black man. And Just like ancient Egyptians, ancient Babylonians were black Africans (Kushites). True biblical Israelites are the negroes (blacks) below the Sahara. The people of the book were black. #AwakeOIsrael

NIMROD... Lamurudu, progenitor of Oduduwa, father of Oranmiyan, the founder of Oyo and the first Alaafin.

Nimrod was son of Kush, grandson of Ham. Yorubas do not descend from Ham and Kush but from Shem, Abraham, Yakubi/Jacob. There is so much Sumerian/ Babylonian influence in Yoruba culture because that was the prevailing culture at the time...just like we have Western culture today. Babylon/ Nubia/Kush was the world power of the time. And besides many Yorubas who are children YAKUBI/Jacob/Israel and descendants of Yororbam/Jeroboam lived in that region during the babylonian captivity and even after the destruction of Yerushalem/Jerusalem in 70AD.

donnie:
First, I have read the account of Sultan Mohammed Bello credited for the earliest written account of the Yorubas (whom he called Yarriba), where he referred to them as coming from Canaanites and the kindred of Nimrod. My question therefore is this- are they Cananites or did they occupy the land of Canaan (Israelites)?

To deal with this question, let me make some things clear. Based of extensive research of ancient historical records, DNA, etc. The Yoruba are ancient Isrealites and comprise of The Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) headed by Yarobam/ Jeroboam, and the southern Kingdom of Judah who were in captivity in Babylon (Ethiopia/South-sudan/Yemen), Judah in the Sahel who fled the destruction of Jerusalem (in Southern Africa) and also Judah who were expelled from Spain and Portugal in the late 1400s.

Also worthy of note is the fact that the Sahel/Niger republic was the true region of Ancient Assyria. Remember, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was taken into captivity by Assyrians. So when they speak of Yorubas as Sudanese or Migrants from Sudan, they're referring to those of the Northern Kingdom who were taken into Assyrian captivity. ALSO, they're referring to those who after the Babylonian captivity (in South-Sudan/ Ethiopian, Yemen) and after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem (in southern Africa) in 70AD, populated the Sahel, stretching from Mali in the West to Sudan in the East. The Sahel was once full of Jews/blacks (of the southern Kingdom of Judah) who fled for their lives and from slavery.

As the Arab invasion of Africa began in the 8th century, many of these Jews in the Sahel region began to migrate southwards, fleeing persecution, forceful conversion and slavery. Many (including Igbos) migrated to the coasts of West Africa. They also migrated to Central and Southern Africa Africa (Zimbabwe, Congo, South Africa etc).

So back to the Sultan's position... There are a number of reasons why he would draw such conclusions...

1. First, these are wondering Jews who are fleeing persucution and slavery. Who will accord them the respect of being the people of YAH?

2. After all the years of captivity, persecution and death, answering the name Hebrew was as good as calling for death hence those who knew will hide such knowledge or only speak of it in low tones. To understand this, imagine what it is for an Igbo man to identify as Biafran or Ipob openly in Nigeria today. undecided

3. Nimrod, Yorobam (Jeroboam) and idolatory.
I find that the prevalent idolatory in West Africa has caused many to doubt that these same people are the people of the book. Well the very fact that they practice Idolatory is proof positive that they're the people of the book. Because it was written that the people will serve idols (Deuteronomy 28:36, 4:27-28).

Also, if you study about Yorobam (Jeroboam) you'll find that after the division of the kingdom, and he was made King, he caused the people to sin. He not only stopped the children of Israel from going to Jerusalem to worship, he set up his own alters and appointed his own priests and holy days, and set up two golden calfs and said to the people, "behold your gods..." (1kings12:28).

Nimrod on the other hand is the father of all modern day idolatrous religions ie. Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc. The same Nimrod associated with the tower of Babel. His name is synonymous with idolatory. He is the Father Christmas people worship today. His birthday is 25th December. The Christmas tree custom is an ancient custom instituted by his wife-mother after his death.

Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis. After Nimrod’s death, his so-called mother-wife, Semiramis, propagated the doctrine of the survival of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. Semiramis, Nimrod's mother-wife is the one worshipped today as queen of heaven, mother of god, virgin Mary, Easter, Mami water, mother's day etc.

And By the way, Nimrod was black (African- Kushite), and so was Yorobam (Hebrew). So we're talking about so-called African spirituality here, the origin of all modern religions. Also, West Africa is the region of the ancient summerian civilization, hence the summerian influence in their worship and culture.

So don't be surprised... the children of Israel and Judah worshiped idols even right in Yerushalem/Jerusalem (not the fake one in the middle East), reason they were driven out, their temple destroyed and they have suffered captivity to this day.

So when we're talking about the Holy land or the people of the book, remove your mind from that fake land and the people there. It's a distraction to keep y'all asleep while the carnage and captivity continues. Also because the awakeing of the true people will signal the return of our black MESSIAH who will destroy all enemies, overthrow all kingdoms and establish His kingdom on earth with us.

So Hebrew Yorobam (Jeroboam) is Yoruba. REPENT. #AwakeOIsrael

1. The land you call Israel is not the Holy land of the scriptures. History has been whitewashed, maps have been changed to deceive and show the true locations outside of the continent of Africa. That fake state you call Israel was created in 1948 by the league of nations. They first chose Uganda but later settled for Palestine. That land is fake and those are not people of the book.

2. There are ancient maps showing the true locations. Scriptures do not support those fake locations and our language and culture testify that the negroes below the Sahara are the true Hebrews of the bible. Ancient maps and ancient history books testify of this truth.

3. What you call Jew-ISH thought or Judaism came from the region of ancient Babylon in the region of Nubia/Ethiopia. It is not according to Torah and involves a lot of witchcraft. The true language and culture of the scriptures can be found among the negroes below that Sahara. This culture has been corrupted and used the create the various abominable religions of the world, including christianity. Did you know that the bible and even Christianity were in Ethiopia many centuries before it got to Rome?

4. You haven't read real history to know that civilization began in Africa. Language, reading, writing, science, philosophy, art, dressing etc all began in Africa. By the time of the Old testament, white people were still living in caves.

coolI thought u were going to post the so called ancient maps that informed u about THE PROMISED LAND being below the Sahara! The Israelites crossed the RED SEA on their way to the Land, how can that be sub-sahara? Britain offered the Zionist ETHIOPIA not Uganda! And not League of nation. Reason been that Ethiopia at the time had an existing sizable Jewish community descendants of queen Sheba’s son for Solomon. U maybe be right ancient Israel was colored reason is their prolonged stay in Egypt. Today, they are white, becos of long stay in Europe. Aside this, u show a surprising lack of knowledge of history, scripture and geography.
