@tosinolaseinde Their pattern of belief was a bit different before foreign religions came. It was more of belief in supernatural forces, so it may be difficult to find names for dieties as was practised in the south. But they believed in spirits, had priests and priestesses. Read Hausa animism.
🚨 Pope Leo XIV has sent a WARNING to migrants, telling them how to behave when they arrive into new countries:

In April 2014, then Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, stated that Anambra State was Nigeria’s safest state over the preceding five years, according to police records during Peter Obi’s administration.
He also noted that there was no recorded bank robbery in the state during that period.

@287363w@justkene_@the_beardedsina That's why they should be co-managed with mental health physicians who specialise in opioid addiction. You don't just ask them to stop, the specialists will do their jobs. We also co-manage with pain and palliative team for those who fail to achieve pain control.
Southerners used to have so much advice for people of the Middle belt when the fulani attacks were primarily in our region. To apply the advice now that the brutality has spread seems really tough. You can all see that theory and practicals are different things.
Atheists: The Catholic Church has always been against science
Meanwhile the Church:
• Georges Lemaître — Catholic priest; proposed the “primeval atom” theory, which became the foundation of the modern Big Bang cosmological model.
• Gregor Mendel — Augustinian friar; discovered the laws of inheritance (Mendelian genetics), forming the basis of modern genetics.
• Nicolaus Copernicus — Catholic canon; developed the heliocentric model (Sun-centered solar system), transforming astronomy.
• Christopher Clavius — Jesuit priest; principal mathematician behind the Gregorian calendar reform still used worldwide today.
• Roger Boscovich — Jesuit priest; early theory of atomic structure and force fields, influencing modern physics concepts.
• Angelo Secchi — Jesuit priest; pioneer of astrophysics and first classification system of stars based on spectra.
• Francesco Maria Grimaldi — Jesuit priest; discovered diffraction of light and contributed to wave theory of optics.
• Jean Picard — Catholic priest; first highly accurate measurement of Earth’s radius using modern scientific instruments.
• Nicolas Steno — Catholic bishop; founded stratigraphy (law of superposition), a foundation of modern geology.
• Marin Mersenne — Minim friar; “Mersenne primes” in number theory are named after him; also built scientific communication networks across Europe.
• Benito Viñes — Jesuit priest; developed early hurricane tracking and forecasting methods in Cuba.
Physicians built the most trusted profession in the world.
Then we got quiet. We got busy. We got burned out.
And while we were head down, other people started telling our story for us.
Let's take the narrative back. Nobody tells your story better than you.
340 marriages. ZERO divorces. 💍❌

Nicknamed the “Tinder Priest,” Father Fernando rejects modern dating apps and algorithm-driven matchmaking. Instead, he relies on detailed questionnaires exploring a person’s virtues, flaws, values, and most importantly, the role God holds in their life.
His matchmaking principles are surprisingly strict:
📍 Strong faith compatibility
📍 No long-distance relationships
📍 Shared life goals and vocation
📍 Even practical compatibility, including height preferences
Once both individuals approve the profiles, he simply shares their phone numbers and steps aside completely.
Decades into this unusual ministry, Father Fernando claims that none of the couples he matched have separated, an extraordinary record that has drawn attention across the Catholic world. ❤️
For many, his success points to something deeper: relationships rooted in shared faith, commitment, sacrifice, and spiritual purpose may offer a stronger foundation than surface-level attraction alone.
