Dearly beloved,
Why are you here?
What is the purpose of your being?
Have you found it?
Have you ever thought about finding it?
Have you ever even thought about it?
Am I even making any sense to you?
Or is it: "What is this one talking about now, what is purpose,
In all, this movie is a mere work of fiction; it does not portray any actual Yorùbá Irúmọlẹ̀ or Òrìṣà. It is set in a fictional Christian universe, where the English name "Jesus" form part of a formula used to fight against equally fictitious evil forces and spirits.
So there you have it. Three days and three nights, starting with the high Sabbath on Wednesday evening and ending with the regular Sabbath by Saturday evening when the first day of the week begins.
Everyone who is concerned with truth asks:
1. How could he have been in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights if he was buried on Friday?
2. How could he have died the day before a Sabbath if he didn't die on a Friday?
By the time Mary Magdalene got to the tomb very early on Sunday morning when it was still dark, according to John 20:1, she met the stone already taken away.
Nissan 15, the day after Passover is the first day of Unleavened Bread. The first day of Unleavened Bread is taken as a Sabbath, a rest day, regardless of which day of the week it falls on.
Our people took all the exultations & salutations our father used to praise our ancestors, they ascribed it to the imported gods.

@OryHarde@itzhalabi1@AKakanfo Bàtá is actually a "family" it has its ìyá ìlù bàtá (the big one on the right). I suppose more people are more familiar with the ìyá ìlù dùndún which is commonly referred to simply as ìyá ìlù. Hence many might surmise that that is the only ìyá ìlù.
A few months ago, I was flying to Abuja for a meeting. While waiting in the lounge for my flight, I struck up a conversation with the gentleman sitting next to me.
We started talking about the lack of accountability in the country, and he said that he was not bothered because he had put things in place for himself and his family. According to him, he had everything he needed.
I asked him if he had a live-in doctor in his house or a state-of-the-art medical hospital in his backyard.
He said he did not, but that he always does his medical checkup whenever he travels abroad.
I told him this kind of thinking was naïve, then I painted a picture for him:
If he suffered a heart attack that day while at home and his family members called an ambulance to take him to a hospital, that ambulance would be stuck in traffic and probably would not show up until he was dead.
He retorted that he has SUVs that can take him to the hospital.
I reminded him that even with his SUV, he would be stuck in traffic and probably would not make it to the hospital in time.
Then he said there is always the option of a helicopter. Then I asked him how many hospitals he knew that had a helipad, and he said Evercare in Lekki had one.
So, I asked him, “Do you have a helipad in your house?” He said no.
Then I asked him where the helicopter coming from Evercare to pick him up would land.
