  The vision of firearms in a dream has different meanings, both positive and negative, depending on who wields the weapon and how the weapon is used. The Yoruba vision of dreams with weapons is as follows:  Abo, defense;  ibinu, anger;  inufufu, aggression;  iberu, fear  ; agbara, power or supremacy  ; iku, death  ; ewu, danger;  ojoo, cowardice  ; ikan omokurin, male sexual organ;  ogun, war  ; ija, conflict.  Below is my explanation about dreaming about weapons.  1.  Didi ibon mu  (dreaming of holding a weapon): This type of dream often means that you are extremely determined to achieve your goals and that you have confidence in your abilities even before knowing the risks. It also means, if you are not happy in the dream of wielding a weapon, that you are about to lose your patience and you will get angry at someone, unleashing terror in them. Try to control your mood, because this is the message of the ...

  In the rich tapestry of Yoruba spirituality, words are not merely sounds; they are tools of creation. Among the most potent of these oral traditions are  Iwure  and  Isure —the ritualized acts of summoning goodness from the spiritual realm into the physical world. To understand these concepts is to understand the Yoruba worldview on how blessings are activated and received. The Etymology of Blessing: Iwure vs. Isure The power of these rituals lies in their literal meanings, which describe the movement of energy: Iwure:  Derived from  iwu  (to unearth or bring forth) and  ire  (goodness). It is the act of digging deep into the spiritual soil to reveal hidden blessings. Isure:  Derived from  isu  (to break forth from beneath a surface) and  ire . This suggests a more spontaneous eruption of favor, much like a seed bursting through the earth. Central to both is  Ile (the Earth) . In Yoruba belief, the ground is a sacre...

 Moremi Ajasoro was an illustrious and brave woman who lived in Ile-Ife around the 12th century AD. Although she hailed from Offa, through marriage, she was related to the royal family and her husband, King Oramiyan was a direct descendant of the legendary founding father of the Yorubas, Oduduwa. She was noted as extremely beautifu During the time she lived, the city of Ile Ife was in constant conflict with the forest people (Igbo according to Yoruba language, although they bear no resemblance to today’s Igbo people). Due to the constant nature of the conflict, the Igbo raiding parties were very successful in disrupting city life and they captured many townsfolk, enslaving and carrying them away to their settlement Conventional methods of retaliation by the people of Ile-Ife did not work and it was clear a radical rethink was needed to solve the conflicts It was at this time that Moremi decided to consult with the spirits, asking them for guidance in the plight of her people. She ...

On January 25, 1971, Idi Amin Dada overthrew the government of Milton Obote, the man who led Uganda to independence from Britain in 1962 and became the country’s first elected leader. (Appolo Milton Obote: What Others Say 87.) Less than a month after the coup, on February 20, 1971, Idi Amin issued an announcement in the name of the “Officers and Men of the Uganda Army and Air Force” in the Uganda Gazette in which he elevated himself from the position of a major-general to a full general and suspended elections “for at least five years,” stating: In view of the very bad state of affairs left behind by the last regime we fully appreciate that our Government led by His Excellency Major-General Idi Amin Dada is faced with a great task. Public life must be cleaned up and the economy must be put on a sound basis. In addition the people of Uganda have to be educated to think in terms of Uganda as a whole and to love and respect one another in the spirit of brotherhood, unity and equality. We ...

 Amina of Zaria (1533-1610?), commonly known as the warrior queen, expanded the territory of the Hausa people of north Africa to the largest borders in history. More than 400 years later, the legend of her persona became the model for a television series about a fictional warrior princess, called Xena. Amina was the warrior queen of Zazzau (now Zaria). She is known also as Amina Sarauniya Zazzau. She lived approximately 200 years prior to the establishment of the Sokoto-Caliphate federation that governed Nigeria during the period of British colonial rule following the Islamic jahad (holy war) that overtook the region in the nineteenth century. According to most accounts, Queen Amina ruled for 34 years at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Her domain of Zazzau, a city-state of Hausaland, was eventually renamed to Zaria and is the capital of the present-day emirate of Kaduna in Nigeria. Although many details of her life remain largely in dispute among historians, th...

The Wolf Moon name might have originated from colonial times when wolves howled outside of villages. Some cultures call this full moon the Ice Moon, the Snow Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Fun fact: Wolves howl to communicate over long distances, essentially revealing their locations to the rest of the pack or to notify them to stay away from potential intruders. Officially, the moon becomes full at 2:15 p.m. Jan. 28. The moon will rise at 5:44 p.m. Moonset happens 8:53 a.m. Friday, Jan. 29. The math reveals 15 hours and 9 minutes of time spent in the sky, which is especially useful if our West Michigan weather cooperates with clear skies. February's full moon takes place on the 27th. April's full moon is a super full moon, which identifies with the moon's closest orbital position around the earth. On April 26, 2021, the moon will not only appear brighter, but will also seem larger. Source: Wwmt

There was a time in an Igbo village when monsters torment little children and teenagers at night. The villagers tried to capture and kill these monsters but all their efforts ended up in vain. In this same village, a beautiful girl named Obaledo lived with her parents. She was very beautiful that princes from faraway lands competed to win her heart. One day, Obaledo’s parents traveled to the next village and left her yam and snail to eat. Her parents warned her not to leave the house at night because of the dangerous monsters that roam the village. They also warned her to roast the yam before the snail because the water from the snail would quench the fire. One night, when Obaledo’s parents were away, she became very hungry and made a fire with the last matchstick in the house. Obaledo roasted the snail first because of her lust for meat. The water from the snail quenched the fire and so, she couldn’t roast the yam. Still hungry, she disobeyed her parents and went out o...
