Africans just dey form. Just want to belong. So far it is Oyinbo style. We nor just get direction or destination, just perambulating. Black man will name his child Minerva but will not call it Esubiyi. Minerva is Roman goddess of wisdom. He will name his beautiful daughter Diana. But he will not call her Olokun or or Sango after any African god or goddess. Diana is Graeco-Roman goddess of hunting. They will call their son Mars (Roman god of war) but not Ogun, a local god of war. #OurMumuNeverDo? 15 Likes |

John 6,60-68 Ancient world of justice has comeback , kingdom of Jesus Christ has comeback to revenge and judge human beigns and i am speaking about things unknown after the creation of the world and it takes those who knows about the ancient world and wisdom to understand me and i speak and say investigate what i have spoken to the earth if you have the means because of the thomases of this generation, afterall how many people who claimed to know Jesus Christ more than God followed Jesus Christ in bible time as they never closed churches or synagogues then, rather they kept boasting in ignorance that they know God more than Jesus Christ whereas God was on ground with them as Jesus Christ for thirty three good years and you now ask yourself which God was answering those people, prophets and pastors claiming to know God more than Jesus Christ ? Behold you must be wise and look before you leap thats the confidence of a wise person and only time tells for truth to manifest without hindrance,no matter how you cover truth and revelation and dont forget human confessions which is usually had i known are our reliance and our confidence in our undiluted truth and revelation about real JESUS CHRIST and that's why we keep saying that time will always tell who is who evil or good. Behold our summary is those who do not agree to truth now will later agree that the ancient world has come back and kingdom of JESUS CHRIST HAS COME BACK TO REVENGE AND JUDGE HUMAN BEINGS and surely always say wait for time as time always tells who is who,and you also must remember that God said I will use the things of foolish to shame those who think they are wise and who are those wise people that God will shame? Are you among is our due question ? Remember In the realm of the spirit there is no distance so as to know who is asking and don't forget that it's only at night that we know who is who, evil or good ,no pretenses at night that is where the battles of life are fought won or lost # Mathew 13,13-15 1 Like

CHRISTIANITY IS EUROPEAN PAGANISM COPIED FROM AFRAKAN SPIRITUALITY AND THE CHURCH BORROWED THESE PAGAN CUSTOMS & DOCTRINES 7 COMMON WEDDING TRADITIONS AND THEIR ORIGINS Find out the origins of some wedding traditions that have become common practice all over the world. Here is a list of 7 most common wedding traditions and their origins to wedding enthusiasts across the globe. Weddings are layered with many traditions that have evolved over time. 1. BRIDESMAIDS: One of the most interesting wedding traditions remains with bridesmaids and their original purpose. Nowadays, bridesmaid dresses usually cause the most contention. However, originally bridesmaids dressed exactly the same as the bride. The purpose was to confuse evil spirits and stop them from becoming fixated on the bride, and ultimately prevent them from cursing the newlyweds. 2. WHITE BRIDAL GOWN: It was actually Queen Victoria who introduced the white wedding tradition back in 1840. Since then, women all over the world have followed her cue. Traditionally, the WHITE WEDDING gown symbolized purity, innocence and chastity. Not so sure about this nowadays… and many brides are choosing other colours for their gowns. 3. THE RING FINGER: Beyonce’s "if you liked it, then.you should have put a ring on it" lyrics chimes an element of ancient truth. In ANCIENT ROME (where Christianity came from), when a man put a ring on a woman, he literally took possession of her. The ring symbolized his ownership. Additionally, ancient Romans believed the ‘Vena Amoris’ or ‘Vein of Love’ connected the left ring finger directly to the heart, which is why the wedding ring is only ever placed on this finger. 4. STAG NIGHTS: One of the oldest wedding traditions is the stag night and it hasn’t changed much since the Spartans started it in the 5th Century B.C. Stag nights are when a groom celebrates his last night as a single man. No superstitions, no evolution, just the same celebration with the same purpose and we're guessing the same outcome – MESSY. 5. BOUQUET: In ancient times, bouquets were made up of pungent herbs and spices like garlic and dill. The reason was to ward off those pesky evil spirits and prevent ill health. Fortunately times have changed and we have evolved to become a less superstitious society. Nowadays, brides carry bouquets made up of fragrant flowers as oppose to pungent herbs. 6. THROWING RICE: In ancient times, rice symbolized the seed of life. Traditionally it was thrown at the newlywed couple as they departed from the church. This gesture was to wish the couple luck, prosperity and fertility. Nowadays, it's simply seen as littering and apparently it's not so good for native birds. These days, people are replacing rice with ribbons or confetti. 7. CARRYING THE BRIDE OVER THE THRESHOLD: Traditionally speaking, there were two different reasons the groom carried the bride over the threshold. In some parts of the world it was to protect his bride from being possessed by evil spirits. Back then, brides were considered as being highly vulnerable to spirit intrusion. In other parts of the world, it was a way of preventing the bride from appearing too eager to lose her virginity. Nowadays, it’s a romantic gesture, one that we hope sticks around forever. There are so many more interesting wedding traditions in the different parts of the world, and typically most of them spawn from ancient foreign ancestor's superstitious natures and beliefs. 2 Likes |

Soleymania:/ Not decreed. It is an after effect of brainwashing of Africans. Some are candid enough to call it white wedding. Wedding is the official union of man and woman to become a husband and wife. Why would people do their traditional wedding, followed by white wedding? Yet they are blacks. The whites only do their normal white wedding which is their tradition and move on. Like I always say, the black race is long lost. / 2 Likes |
