Pls,how then can we cook something to eat on Sunday. Suggestions pls
ReplyDeleteThat is what you get where p3ople are st8ll in the dark. Very blind. It does not matter the level of education but once you fail to acknowledge that light had come and is still with us then you are in dark. It does not matter how infludncià l or powerful you are; you are still in bondage and need to free yourself from slavery. You may argue about wicked local tradition but humanity surpasses local suppersition and w8cked tradition.let all find Christ and his teaching. At least look at some of his teachings .No wonde4 th3y say that Benin is the headquarters of witches and wizards this 21st century.
DeleteMr Ojo I know you are a very big fool ..You don't have a root culture ,Are you from the Bini kingdom so why are you drinking Panadol for another persons headache. If you are not very stupid to know the white people has their own culture . What has the education has to do with culture , so mumu are you telling me you are not going to pay your wife bride price now because you are now a white man..Please go and use white paint or bleaching cream to turn ur self to a white man. Blind idiot of the century.
DeletePls why not declare outright fasting in benin kingdom on sunday, if that will help the oba ascend into heaven.
DeleteAre people expected to cook on Saturday then microwave on Sunday abi they are to use electric burner to cook? I'm very confused. The messenger didn't elaborate on how they shld eat on Sunday. Na wah for Bini people. That custom ought to be changed because it is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience.
ReplyDeleteThe Binis take pride in following tradition despite western education, years of sojourn in obodo oyinbo their brothers in Yoruba Land have moved on. I guess they are held back by the ritualists in Biafra
