@DanBurmawy crazy but true

@maazi_ridwaan @Afrocaanbeatz @TheYorubaTimes it has everything to do with it...they are killing people for their twisted ideology

@iredumare If you want peace, prepare for war....absolutely.

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@AsakeRoqeebah @BenYousef_E You are right, if they are taught tawheed and aqeedah before they are taught the full historical development of the religion, law, empire, slavery, sectarian conflict, and doctrinal disagreement? They will never be able to see through the religious ruse

@KR3Wmatic lolzzzzzzzzzzzz

@Hayjayyyyyy @cent_haysmall Is the religion designed to destroy the family and sow discord? Religion can change. Citizenship can change. Political views can change. A person can convert several times during a lifetime.

But a mother remains your mother. A son remains your son.

@Black_Huncho007 @deezguy49 @Drwhales_ Another claim, give us references.

@nla_agba I took time to respond to him..normally I would ignore, but he seemed influential in his circle. His lack of knowledge is amazing for someone that loud.

@Laide008 @KR3Wmatic Akeem, e like say you just join di religion

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@nla_agba What they truly need is the state power to compel. One would think that since this is a religious obligation, you not need people to come enforce it for you. It is power they want...

@rahmandeprof 11. The point worth making finaly is those three questions of your origin, purpose, and suffering are precisely what the Yoruba theology addressed...however, you didn't seem to have engaged in reading about it before your claims. End.

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 10. active engagement through Ifá divination, through sacrifice, Iwure Owuro, iwa pele, and through community engagement. Suffering is diagnostic. It is not punishment and it is not meaningless. It tells you something is misaligned, and the tradition gives you tools to respond.

@rahmandeprof 9. living against your chosen destiny; the interference of alajogun-what you will call Shaytan in islamic theology, they're the negative forces that oppose human flourishing; or unresolved matters carried across generations. The appropriate response is not passive endurance but..

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 8. "It does not tell me what the purpose of suffering is."
Yoruba theology takes suffering seriously without making it the centrepiece of a salvation narrative like islam or xtianity. Suffering can come from several sources: misalignment with your Ori...

@rahmandeprof 7. The Yoruba phrase "Baba tun de" the father has returned is not decoration, it is part of Yoruba cosmology. The dead and the living are not separated by a wall; they are in continuous relationship.

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 6. Specific qualities, obligations, even unfinished business travel through bloodlines. And when you die, you do not disappear- you enter Ọ̀run, the spiritual realm, and in time you may return.

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 5. "It does not tell me where I came from before birth or where I am going after death." Yoruba theology is actually richer than you assumes. The concept of àtúnwáyé is central to your understanding. You came from your ancestors. Your lineage does not merely precede you...

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 4. it is a personal investigation. The answer is not on X. It is inside you, and the work you have to do is to live to uncover it. One of your task as a human is to cultivate iwa pele so you can live in harmony with others.

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 3. Before you crossed into this life, your Ori knelt before Olódùmarè/God and selected your àyànmọ́- your destiny, your purpose, the particular thing your soul came here to do. So "why do I exist" is not a cosmic mystery in Yoruba thought...

[Akin @1MerkleTree]

@rahmandeprof 2. "Being Yoruba does not tell me why I exist."
It does, actually but not in the way Islamic frameworks tend to answer that question. In Yoruba theology, every unborn comes into the world with an Ori- a personal spiritual essence chosen before birth.
