Olu Of Warri Presents Itsekiri Bible At U.S. Museum by bestofnollywood: 2:21am On Sep 24 |
His Majesty, the Olu of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Atuwatse III, along with his wife, Olori Atuwatse III, the queen consort of Warri Kingdom, has presented the Itsekiri Bible at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C, on Friday, September 20, in a historic and symbolic event, Apples Bite Magazine reports. This event marked a monumental moment in the spiritual and cultural journey of the Itsekiri people, whose Christian faith and traditions have played a significant role in their history. The presentation of the Itsekiri Bible event commenced with welcoming remarks from Mrs. Jackie Green, a co-founder of the museum, who graciously gifted the Queen a signed copy of her book. This was followed by an introduction to the IllumiNations project by Dr. Carlos Campo, underscoring the global efforts to ensure Bible translations are accessible to every language group. The Itsekiri Bible holds immense importance for the Itsekiri people, one of Nigeria’s smallest ethnic groups, primarily based in the Niger Delta region. The Bible’s translation into Itsekiri is seen not just as a religious milestone but as a triumph for cultural preservation and identity. Historically, the Warri Kingdom, under successive Olu monarchs, has maintained a rich tradition of leadership intertwined with Christianity since the conversion of a former Olu to Christianity in the 16th century. Ogiame Atuwatse III spoke with deep emotion about the journey of the Itsekiri Bible, recognizing the dedication of the translators, clergy, and community members who ensured its completion. His words resonated with pride for the Itsekiri people’s heritage and the significance of having their own language immortalized through scripture.... https://applesbite.com/itsekiri-bible/

CoronaVirusPro:but you're happy with the evil Koran. Why are most Muslims Hippocratic, you're quick to attach Christianity but leave Islam out when most Arabs drove our north Africa brothers and sisters from their lands. Your pedophilia prophet referred to blacks as devils in Koran. I'm not bothered about you on this forum because you're an evil soul going to hell that practice evil religion from Saudi Arabia. May urine be upon you and your prophet |

CoronaVirusPro:I actually agree with you, but hope you also agree that the Quran and Islam was also a tool of colonialism and subjugation of Africans? |
