Story done finish for Africa?
Remember being forced to react this ,Icarus and other foreign stories as a child.
Much of that stuff only serves to strip us of our identity and gives us a need for external validation
So much so many believe we have no stories.

How many of the stories of your own people do you know.?
Many,many better stories.
Have you heard the story of Monamona, Alu Jon jon ki jon

marttol:
let me tell you something you don't know... the Spirit world surrounds us, invincible to you but realer than this physical plane... Jesus is alive forever... pray the Lord opens your eye...

visit DK olukoya of mfm or any ogboni cult and see how the things you think nobody knows about is opened up before them... who is telling them this thing or whose power are they using... you are the ignorant one...

peace.

I love myths. The myths of Jesus Christ is the most interesting.

Shebi solid proof?
Oya prove how Moses divided the sea with his hands.
Prove how Jesus walked on water.
Prove how a man lived in the belle of a fish for three days.
Prove how the moon and sun were stopped.
Prove how a donkey talked.
Prove how angels fell from the sky to have sex with humans.

If you answer these with solid proof, then your statement would be true.

Why don't we document our stories so africans can read them , make it accessible like theirs, create video stories too like theirs.

GodPunishBiafra:

You don't believe that it is real but you believe that Jesus walked on water .
You also believe the story Mathew, John, Luke etc wrote, abi?

There are many empty courses been studied in universities, so why cant Awo orunmila be a university course? Why cant isegun ibile be a university course. You can specialise in Osanyin, Ayelala, and etc and become a priest if you can meet up with the strict requirements.

If Awo Orunmila is a university course, it will be common for people to drop out as not all will be able to meet up with the requirement.

A modern Awo Orunmila should be an A grade philosopher, a magician and etc, a counsellor, diviner and etc. You can add courses and that person should be proficient in Spanish and Portuguese as well.

Isegun ibile is native pharmacist. It is a body of knowhow passed down over thousands of years. It should be brushed up. The knowledge is not incompatible with modern methods. There should be Bachelor degree holders in it as well.

You cant throw away your inheritance. That is wrong!

You're a clown.
You said there are solid proofs of the events in the bible, and I have given you series of events, and asked you to prove them, and you're referring me to the same bible that contains these stories?

Since you have read history... Give me verifiable information on history which will back up those events in the bible I pointed out.

Our stories are generally oral or performed.

Documentation does not have to be according to an external standard or framework .

Recitation and the memory capacity for that was particularly valued in Africa. There were quality control processes to ensure accuracy
E.g Ifa odus are entrenched in the Yoruba psyche.

Do you know e.g that the Quran was not written whe Muhammad was alive . It was learned by heart

Now IFA was carried across to Latin America by slaves without any written documents because the process of recitation embedded I their consciousness in a way that the bible is not.
If every copy of the bible is destroyed today how many would remember its contents.

I am not saying one is better or worse but let us value what we have.

Ifa odus in my opinion contain the best stories for us

didn't u see copied at the end of the thing?

Bumped into this. A good read
Who knows the story of Medusa? Yes that ugly lady with the hair of snakes. The Gorgon who men dared not look at else they turn to stone. Do you know her real story?! Well I'll tell you!

When I was in school, I was given a project titled Myths and Legends. Well naturally I settled for Greek mythology and Medusa hit my interest.

I always thought she was evil and all but this is
the true story.

So Medusa was the most beautiful girl in her town. Her hair shone like gold. All men wanted her but she never gave in. She caught the eye of Poseidon the god of the sea and didn't give him the time of day. Well what did he do? He raped Medusa in Athena's temple. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war.

Now the sad part was Athena was so enraged by what had happened that she cursed Medusa. Not the man who raped her no! Cursed the poor girl who was raped. Turned her into a creature that no man would ever look at again without dying and turned her beautiful hair into snakes.

Now some have claimed that Athena cursed Medusa to protect her but in all my research and even the writings of the poet, the story was consistent.

When I found out the truth behind Medusa, I changed my project and turned it into a tribute called 'Misunderstood'. I recreated her tombstone, changed her garments and created a pendant with her face on it.

Needless to say that was my best project in school and it was on display.

Now to bring it home. Isn't that what happens these days? Both here and abroad? A girl is raped and instead of going for her attackers, you blame her and slut-shame her. Claim she brought it on herald?

When you think of Medusa you think of an ugly Gorgon.

When I think of Medusa I think of a beautiful lonely girl the world failed. Just as the world is failing women today.

I would prefer both forms .
Why I think documentation will go far is because other tribes, culture can have access to it.

Why do gods & other spiritual substantialities always lust after female beings in genesis: d sons of god came to earth to hav canal knowledge of beautiful women....similar story in mathew...Rape is d oldest crime in creation...I still remember satan & eve union that propagated evil seeds on earth with it attendant consequence of sins/crimes:murder,envy,robbery,kidnapping, rapist,halotry,greed,corruption,warmongering,racism,ritualism,witchcraft .etc.
