This is something more black Africans need to do. Re-embrace their native religions, which are far more rewarding, because they are a natural and life based philosophy which works in perfect syncronization with how humans spend their day to day life. Rather than following some imposed and authoritative religion (Christianity, Catholicism, Judiasm, and Islam) that demands you live your life by how some book dictates. A book mind you, that has been changed numerous times by whoever wants to. |

i am sorry fellow brothers and sisters. this was the first time i post videos and i dont know to do it properly. i just copied the embed link into the insert flash brackets and i altered the size. heres the links for those who couldnt see it: PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6-O9FWKhwU PART 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nTOsWiquOQ&feature=related PART 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzBzW4n9VcM&feature=related PART 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Hm6jfUngo&feature=related PART 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrGEwtTEyWQ&feature=related PART 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M00VbPOHbmE&feature=related PART 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPKQRVFezHQ&feature=related I give my thanks to ChinenyeN for reposting proper videos. ifyalways: Madame, either try ChinenyeN's videos or my above links. This video is about Bwiti Religion of Gabon. It is one of the official religions there and originated with the Babongo peoples. Most Babongo and other related Mebenga such as the Aka, Baka, Gyale and Kola peoples are Pagan Animist. But only Babonga practice Bwiti. (Aka, Baka peoples worship Djengi, forest guardian and they have some of the most skilled traditional healers in all Africa). Bwiti is also being adopted by Fang and Mitsogo peoples. It gained extensive revival in the 1960's, just around 40 years after introduction of christianity because Gabon peoples were not gaining spiritual satisfaction out of christianity. However most of the Bwiti practiced in the cities is not the pure version since it is syncretized with christian elements and gives only partial spirituality. Therefore, this whiteman in the BBC documentary wants to find out REAL BWITI RElIGION by travelling into the jungles of Gabon were he meets Babongo peoples. This video is a documentary on one of their initiation rituals with the use of Iboga Root Bark ( a halucenogen), to cleanse the soul through extensive hallucination which involves bringing back past misdeeds and wrondoings that were comitted and evils that were seen/done, from the subconcious mind, back into the conscious mind and to deal with them and banish them forever. It is like giving new life to the soul. The experience is painful, yet rewarding. Even the whiteman realises the power of Bwiti after experiencing it. Note: the video also shows us glimpses into the lifestyle of the Babongo peoples. You will notice how despite all the rural backwardness, these peoples live a very happy and contented life in harmony with nature, plants and animals. This content lifestyle must be reintroduced in Nigeria by bringing back our true religions from the depths of the jungles, bush and villages, to the cities so that everyone bears good fruit. |

This is good, Chiristianity brings a bunch of people praying all day waiting for sky daddy to save them, and Islam creates sects like Boko Haram that kill evryone who isn't muslim. Both of these religions are holding Nigeria back. Atleast if people are Christian, they should worship the true version of Jesus not the white washed version. Chrsitianity turned Africans into worshippers of white people, the same people who are stealing resources and causing problems today and for the past 500 years.
