I do not know about the Jewish Yahweh. I do not know about the Christian God. I do not know about the Islamic Allah. But I know that the Eledumare of Yoruba people is not deaf. He does not wait 47 years without responding to supplications as the Christian God and Islamic Allah have obviously done. The Yoruba Eledumare is swift and effective. But the problem is that the Yoruba have abandoned their Eledumare for the Christian God and the Islamic Allah. Now they are in quandary. They are in disarray. They are in dilemma. They are in predicament. I believe this problem is replicated among most of the ethnic nations in the geographical location referred to as Nigeria.

We have abandoned our roots. We have abandoned our fore fathers. We have abandoned our ways. We have abandoned our identities. We go around in borrowed robes. We are following the wrong faiths. This is why the prayers would never avail Nigeria. This is why Nigeria would NEVER make it. It is why Nigeria would break up whether we like it or not.

JeSoul: This isn't true.

Seun the owner and head admin is an atheist and Mukina the second in command is a muslim. They pick the topics that go on the FP. And if you pay any attention to FP topics, they are mostly controversial towards christianity because it gets more attention & drives more traffic. So on the contrary your topic would be a good candidate.

toba: pagan are u really a pagan as ur moniker suggest?

logicboy: This is where I really dislike Nigerian christians and muslims on Nairaland. They run away from truthful questions like this. COWARDS

wirinet: Yoruba people and indeed black people generally abandon their indigenous gods for foreign gods because they were conquered. When a people is conquered by superior power, the conquered people usually see their conquerors gods, culture, language and everything else as superior.

The yoruba people abandoned eledumare for yahweh and Allah because they were conquered by Yahweh worshipers from the coast and by Allah worshipers from the dessert, and Eledumare was unable to protect them.

Biafra4tharmy: My fellow Africans do join me in this divine mission from CHUKWU OKIKE to revive and establish the CHURCH OF AMADIOHA the igbo God of war thunder!. Amadioha is mightier than Science because his faithful children shall never die by man made Bullets,bombs or sword! May the peace of Amadioha be upon you all! Meditate upon this image of Amadioha

ekt_bear: Meh.

Religious is largely a personal thing.

For my great-great-grandfather and most of the people in our town and state, Christianity was a more attractive option than our previous religions.

Live and let live. Nobody owes anyone else an explanation for their religious decisions.

logicboy:


Spoken like a true slave. Slavery and submission were more attractive to your great grandfathers

Another Okija:

Chi gozie gi, ezigbo nwa..

I am solidly behind you.. We have strayed far from the gods that faithfully stood by our fore-bearers.. Like prodigal children we need to retrace our steps..

The true god of Justice.. Amadi-oha..

Biafra4tharmy: to be honest with you my secret plan for CHURCH OF AMADIOHA its just a cover up to train religious fanatics that will teach Moslems a damn lesson in violence. Why do you think i choose a God of war? When we have hundreds of other igbo Gods. I want to breed fanatics that wil return fire for fire![b] You think i dont believe in Jesus Christ? Wake up this is politics man! [/b]Dont you see my USERNAME and Personal text?

ekt_bear: Lol.

Slave=religion is a personal choice, live and let live?

Nobody has to answer to anyone else for their religious choices, is the point.

ekt_bear: Nevertheless, it is a choice that everyone is permitted. Nobody can dictate to another what religion he must follow.

If somebody wants to follow the religion of the so-called slave masters, so be it.

If they choose freely to do this, no wahala
