PAGAN 9JA: Not a leap forward, but several leaps backward! It is too late. You can't turn the hand of the clock. Go and thank the Christian God for sending missionaries that taught your teachers how to read and write who now taught you. Else you won't be here leaping anywhere. Thank them too for allowing your twin relatives to live. Just those 2 are enough. I won't mention reducing your language to an orthographic form |

blasterman: PLUMEANUS u were the one posting pictures of drought and famine victims in other to prove wat. Wat has dat got 2 do with the topic. Blame my phone for the mistake PLASTERMAN Poorly educate sir: I did not publish photos of drought. The hands are not chained drought ... You lied constantly, you disrespected me, as I wrote about education. You published something false, demonstrated that you are a coward. You have not had the guts or arguments to defend your religion. You've been a fool, because I proved that their religion has always been the most murderous, cruel and discriminating in all. Christians should be ashamed of liars and phonies like you in the ranks. I repeat to you: your religion is to blame for the deplorable situation in Africa at all levels. You are a servant of the slavers, a mindless. Formally asked the moderators to remove his false post, and I keep waiting for your apology, if you have at least some dignity. |

Ptolomeus: Heya!! What could be responsible for the killing of twins in Calabar? Why do African religions permit the human sacrifice |
Re: Ancestral Religion Versus Imported Religions by Ptolomeus(m): 9:26pm On Sep 20, 2012 |
Billyonaire: Imported Religion is by far better than those superstitious dogma's of we Africans. Killing of twins etc. Even in Igboland they still call some people "Outcasts". European religion comes with education of the mind. But African Religion breeds ignorance, fear, superstition and death.Indicate where and what you worship murdered African twins! The twins are considered a blessing in Yoruba culture. Learn before you comment! |

They decieded to develop by themselves. they developed their own way of writing and they still use it till today. next thing u will say we should thank them for teaching us english language. 2 Likes |

Billyonaire: Young man, when you talk, always remember that your mind is on parade. You have successfully derailed a very handsome thread to buffer your condom thought system. If Ancestral Religion was so excellent, why did our Ancestors wish that we their offsprings dont live and think the way they did ? They welcomed the missionaries, donated plots of land for free so that churches be built and embraced reading and writing. The fact, that you are sitting there and typing on your computer is a result of that wise decision that your ancestors made, I believe if they didnt make that decision, by now you would have been worshiping the god of thunder in some distant forests, did I just say god of thunder ? Alas, there is no god of thunder. Foreign religion brought about education which thought me about magnetic clouds and thats what you would have been worshiping. Ignorance kills more than foreign religion.My dear leave that clown... He forgot that the advancement in education in the southern states, reflects the contribution of Christian missions to the Nigerian educational system. Most teacher-training colleges are operated by missions or voluntary societies; their schools, however, are regulated and largely supported by the government...he knows all this but still prefers to cling to the past. He's an abrasive fellow...he knows the truth but arrogance won't make him accept it. 1 Like |

If christianity is from men, it shall die but if it's from God. It shall stand n d gates of hell shall not prevail. I av dis to say to Crazyman, u are an intelligent man. May God increase ur knowledge. Let every man search within his/her heart n choose him today whom he/she shall serve. It isn't enof being a xtian/muslim dis days. All we are holding up to is faith n hope. The world is in shambles n am astounded some peeps are still much buried in d past. D milk is split, yet my fellow africans are bemoaning d fate of their ancestors who are eida restin or wailing. I don't like blind arguments, it shows 1)how intelligent u really are. 2)how stupid u'd like to be. If i find anytin wrong wit my religion or d God i serve, there are no slave masters around to force me to continue. I take d next exit shaperly. We are in our comfy beds n surroundings, whereas someone somewhere is going tru unimaginable pain n he/she is asking if there is a God somewhere or mayhaps our planet earth is a big joke to him. Walahi d evil dt men do dis days, right dis minute d devil is plenty scared of mortals nowadays. There is dis yoruba proverb dt says 'if ur household/family death dosent kill you, d strange one wud definitely neva kill you'. Mayb we all shud look at slavery very well again n cast our stones at d proper 'first culprit' in dis case to me are our very own broda who capture us for sale to d white men, who is to blame d white men for being greedy to want more slave dn our brodas can safely steal. I find it ironic indeed dt a strange man who can't speak my language, who don't know d wild animals i abide with, who can't stay in my sun long without gettin burnt, who can't enjoy my moonlit nights witout fear of my mosquitoes, who don't know my land n terrain would capture me in a forest i grew up in n cart me away, without him aving some help, in dis case from my african brodas. Finally pls, d past is gone only to be remembered, we d future generation shud know better n make amends. I discriminate not, come in peace is all i ask. Thanks 1 Like |

take away religion from the african,he is but a shell,who will he turn to to absolve his guilty coscience if not a priest in the confessional or the abolution before his prayer,abolution is symbolic with the cleansing and absolving himself from his action,truth is religion is the easiest way to cope the uncertainty of life and our mortality,christainty and islam have been successful because oeople cannot cope with the knowlegde that they are nothing special,we are born,we grow old and die,just like animals,just the circle of life,so most of us wait for the rapture or for the world to end,another thing is because it has a reward system,if i am more rightheous than mr x i will be rewarded in the afterlife or if i impose my belif on a kaffir or kill an infidel i will be rewarded.man has to belive in something bbe it our big father in the sky,stick and stones,science money,man has to bbelieve in anything except himself,on another hand the hebrews taught us empathy and islam taught the strenght of unity n our religions traditional emphasised commynity.i dont think nigerians can do away with islam or chritainty,its their only coping mechanism for a trumatic society,however everythn should be done in moderation |

Christian nations today ARE THE BIGGEST MASS MURDERERS AND ECONOMIC BANDITS ON EARTH. Such ''education of the mind'' to slaughter 2 million Iraqis and claim, like George Bush did, that ''the Lord'' asked him to do it. Hitler, killer of 6 million innocents, was FETED and even WORSHIPPED by Christian bishops: ![]() Now the same Christians, Jews and Muslims are about to plunge us all into WORLD WAR III and possible PLANETARY SUICIDE due to their wickedness, greed, hatred, rivalry, and godless arrogance. YEAH... SOME ''EDUCATION OF THE MIND''. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Today, the heaviest nuclear-armed and most dangerous nations on earth are christian nations, openly boasting of possessing enough nukes to destroy the world several hundred times over! HOW DARE YOU compare such epic, monstrous barbarism to a few villagers sacrificing a virgin in ancient times? Or a few queer practices limited to one or two localities and epochs, yet overblown by colonial invaders to soothe their thieving conscience?? African religion is the world's OLDEST religion. In fact Africans invented religion. How has the teacher become student? |
