Ikhide Ikheloa, popularly known as Pa Ikhide, has criticized Africans for still believing in the Bible and the 'White man's God.

The literary critic said the Bible "is a great work of fiction" and "a tool of oppression created by feuding brothers to oppress women, children, and the vulnerable."

He wrote on Facebook:



"Unpopular opinion: The bible is a great work of fiction, a tool of oppression created by feuding brothers to oppress women, children and the vulnerable. It is homophobic and racist and to the extent that white slave hunters prayed over captured warriors from West Africa with the bible before they were shipped off to be slaves, it boggles my mind that an African would look at that bible and not hiss in disgust. Their God looked away during the middle passage as millions of Africans perished during the slave trade. We had our own religion before the coming of the white man. What is wrong with us? We are our own slaves. Onugo of my people lives in me.

"Open your eyes. Nonsense.

"Good morning."

He made a very good point. Religion has failed totally. It divides more than it unites. This why China banned this nonsense called religion their country is more peaceful than all these stupid African countries

Cc lalasticlala

okay

Every sane man knows that the Bible is nothing but a clever work of fiction meant to entertain women and children.

Some days ago, some foolish sheeps were drolling and hurling abuses at other religion worshippers, claiming that their story book (baibu) was copied to make other religious books
I was just laughing. No sensible person will even think that. Some of these religions were even existing before the SLAVE MASTERS brought christainity so, who copied who
HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SOOOOOOOOOO FOOLISH?
SOME PALE-SKINNED PIGS INVADED YOUR LAND,
TRICKED YOU WITH SOME STORY BOOK(BAIBU)
ENSLAVED YOUR PEOPLE
STOLE YOUR TREASURES
RAPED YOUR WOMEN
AND TRADED SOME OF YOUR KINGSMEN TO THEIR LAND TO BE USED AS SLAVE
WHILE THEY CONTINUED TO PREACH THE BULLSHlT STORIES TO YOU AND THEY CONTINUED TO BELIEVE THEM...


HOW FOOLISH CAN PEOPLE BE?

Please who is he cos we don't know him here in Abakaliki

The SLAVERS needed something to use to entice the sheep and they fabricated a storybook...
I'm still waiting for their miracle to make one regrow a LOST LIMBS.
Or
Maybe until we have a BLACK POPE...

MEANWHILE,
SEE fascinating quotes...
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)


When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

EYYYA,BOBO NO GET BRAIN

Lol. I laugh at Nigerians who study small Literature, Philosophy, Law, and think they've become too woke and the next thing is for them to begin throwing jabs at the Bible and then becoming atheist.
Alas most of them are in one secret cult or even more. Who are they worshipping or getting favors from in those cults, if spiritual powers don't exist? It's a senseless platitude to continue over repeating the statement that the British used Christianity to colonize people. How come they didn't do much of evangelical work in Arab countries, but still colonized them all the same?

Mention one country including China that 'banned' religion that respects human rights. None. They only banned formal religion and replaced it with state and their leaders being the god. In North Korea, citizens are mandated to hang the portraits of their Supreme Leader in their homes and bow to it in reverence. That's quasi-religion!

Naajjii:

What do you mean by human rights? Is it human right as defined by White western people? What is right in one society may be wrong in another society. Chinese culture is totally different from white people culture so also is black people culture.

Are you saying the Chinese are not a member of the United Nations whose sub-agency came up with the definition of 'human rights' ?

musicwriter:

Colonialism didn't pan out exactly the same way in all countries. For example; India was thoroughly colonized but they managed to keep their religions. So were Arabs. After 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th crusades, Arabs refused to give up their God (Allah) but your ancestors gave up theirs. You should be worried about that instead of rejoicing with your conqueror. Do you hate yourself so much that you support someone who conquered your ancestors?

FYI, this statement is fallacy. The Crusade was not a jihad to convert non Christians to Christians. It was a war fought by the Catholic to take BACK Jerusalem from the hands of the Arabs who had seized it through the Ottomans. And did British missionaries ever force Africans to abandon their traditional religion? The answer is no. That's the difference between the Christians and the Muslims.

Very good point. I hope more Africans will open their eyes.

People are always quick to bring down Biblical narrative just because Christians are accommodating and not violent.

Why not try this with Islam? Post it that their Quran is a work of fiction.

Even on Nairaland Seun has decided to protect their religion yet exposed Christianity to barge of insults



RUBBISH Rubbish RUBBISH

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think i agree with this man. The Bible should be banned from the surface of the earth. It has outlived it's usefulness. I admire countries like Saudi Arabia that won't tolerate a copy of the evil Bible in it shores

AM not a big fan of stupid people but you are exceptional

But your own religion could not save you either from the white slave masters after all the goats ,chickens and even human sacrifice (in some tribes) you did before the white slave masters came with their own.

All those otumokpor did not protect your ancestors from gun powder . In the end science and technology is the real winner over all.

To some extent, the man is actually right. U could imaging all this fake pastors telling lies everywhere. May God bless the real ones... For now. TB Joshua and Daddy freeze are my real pastors. Still searching for more anyway.

No, it was meant to petrify women and children. Hearing the description of hellfire alone will give you serious nightmares.

Bible and Koran inclusive.


Religion is scam

Thanks you sir.

Hmmmm

Making Jesus your best friend will help U to rewrite your life and family history..

Accept Jesus Christ, surrender to him, rededicate yourself to Him and make Him your personal Lord and Saviour. Accept Him now, for next minute may be too late..

Make this confession loudly. Father! Forgive me, I'm sorry, please help me, I love U, I need U, hold me Jesus!!!, my heart, my soul please take control of it right now.

A fool says in his heart "There is no God".

Only sick atheists will quote me to insult me

Very sensitive topic to broach with our over emotional religious Nigerians.

I respect the man's guts..

Southerners are usually not known to be this foolish, but Mr Ikhide why?!

Why won't we believe the Bible when the Europeans who brought it came with proofs?

This 'I know it all' attitude is what landed and launched us into the space of mass confusion and corruption in Nigeria...

I believe in God and Jesus his son.I also believe in the holy bible.oga swerve abeg

Atheist

My wife was misbehaving, when I activated some crippling sanctions on her, her family quickly pushed their pastor to come and appeal to my religious app, they never knew I have uninstalled it. I told him that God does not have a religion and he was shocked. Truly the Bible is full of fiction and a tool of oppression. Nice words ~ Team Agnostics.

Bollocks!

He is not saying anything new.
The bible is a fiction mixed with Jewish folklores forced down the throat of Africans
through conquest, deception and brainwashing.
