Father Father

The message the Reverend father is passing across is clear.
1. Don't despise other people's religion or their pagan practices.
2. Don't be scared of your African traditional heritage, they are absolutely harmless. There is nothing like juju, blood money or witchcraft, be educated.
3. Africa is your origin, you must not consciously make superior European identity over your African identity for any reason or religious beliefs.

How do you want your beer?

Hot or cold?

And before that, please increase the volume. Some Pentecostal fools can't hear it.

1. He can do that without necessarily dancing with a masquerade. Doing that is encouraging paganism.

2. Reverend fathers believe in Witchcraft, so what are you defending? Your ignorance or your perception of the father's level of ignorance?

3. So why is father on a Roman Robe? Does that white garment look like your African fathers' identity? I won't even bother to bore you with Bible references because people of your faith rarely read the bible. You uphold many tenets from Vatican city far above bible verses.



But overall, do not try to defend everything you do not understand just because those involved are affiliated to your tribe or faith. There is no wisdom in that. You can't be a masquerade in the morning and a Vatican father at night? It does not portray wisdom.

Giving unto Caesar what is Caesars'.

Giving unto Caesar what is Caesars'.

You Christians of nowadays are bereft of knowledge. Do you even understand the passage you quoted? When Jesus was asked whether to pay taxes to Caesar, Jesus didn't outrightly answered YES or NO. He simply asked for a coin, looked at the image on the coin and saw that it was that of Caesar and then he said give to Caesar what belongs to him (referring to the image and writing he saw on the Roman coin).

Please which government institution gives Masquerade the right to collect people's monies? Which constitution demands that we all dance with Masquerades?


Any Christian aiming to gain knowledge on Nairaland's religion section is likely to end in Hell. There is no iota of kingdom knowledge here.

Catholic forever!
Embrace ur culture. There's nothing bad about it. That I wear calved art doesn't make me a demon. Its when I make covenant with the demon that's what counts and that's what we call spiritual masquerade which is evil but as far as u wear it jst to celebrate there's no harm in it.
Its not a juju masquerade. Its jst a normal masquerade for observing and respecting our culture.
Those criticizing should then stop anything like festival or culture like new yam festival and other festival if u feel that this is not good or that what he did is evil.

pls how do reverend fathers believe in witchcraft

pls how do reverend fathers believe in witchcraft

If they don't believe in Witchcraft, then Rev'd fathers are not Bible believing Christians.

There are over 15 bible verses on Witchcraft so how can a Christian not believe in Witchcraft?

What sort of Christians are you guys?

i don't understand what u r saying

Right. Settle with your Adversaries on your way 'cos God is watching all of us, the Priest and the Masquerade inclusive.

what do you mean by encourage paganism?
So, you cannot encourage Islam?
You as a Christian cannot encourage Muslims to practice their Islam?

2. Reverend fathers believe in Witchcraft, so what are you defending? Your ignorance or your perception of the father's level of ignorance?

yes, it is true that most Reverend fathers also believe in the existence of witchcraft. But that does not necessarily mean that witchcraft truly exist in reality.

3. So why is father on a Roman Robe? Does that white garment look like your African fathers' identity? I won't even bother to bore you with Bible references because people of your faith rarely read the bible. You uphold many tenets from Vatican city far above bible verses.

you cannot bore me with bible reference simply because there is none showing Christians discouraging paganism among pagans.
How will you feel when a non Christian come to discourage you from practicing Christianity.
Contrary to what you are saying, as a matter of fact, Jesus never in anyway discourage the Pharisees and the chief priests from practicing their Judaism

Matthew 23:23 .....But you[pharisee] have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You(isrealites, Pharisees or people practicing Judaism) should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

He was councelling people practicing Judaism(not Christianity) on how to practice their religion. That means he never discouraged them of their religion

did you see the Reverend father putting on masquerade in the picture?
I'm not a catholic , but i have to say the truth the way it is.
Don't make a stereotype of the Reverend father, saying because he is dancing with masquerade, therefore he is masquerading.
