Yeah, they were scared shirtless, that's why they bundled them up like firewood and shipped them to museums in Europe. Till today we are begging them to return our gods to us!

Reflect7:


You're mistaking material artefacts for spirituality.

The two are VERY different.

PoliteActivist:


Well, when they took them vast majority of us couldn't worship our gods anymore because they took them away. What's that about spirituality again?

Reflect7:


You've answered your own question. THEY WERE DESPERATE TO STOP OUR RELIGION, and that also accounts for why they looted so many treasures and artefacts.

And they are refusing to return them today because they are still scared that you might return to your powerful spiritual traditions that never tolerated corruption, crime, and other vices.

They need you to be corrupt, you see, so they can benefit.

And they know that 'Jesus' and 'Muhammed' and 'Allah' etc, don't mind if you're a thief or looter, so long as you ''accept them as your personal lord and saviour'.

Africa religion does not do 'forgiveness'.

During colonial rule, in southern Nigeria, they insisted that for one to access the wealth of the country they'd seized, one had to be educated in their 'missionary schools', and to gain access into the schools, you had to abandon your religion and be 'baptised', and even given a 'christian name'.

They executed this policy in the East especially with great ferocity. This is why every Igbo parent today feels obliged to give their child an English name in addition to their Igbo name.

It was all due to colonial economic blackmail and coercion.

FINISH. No prayer to God because you yourself are God made flesh.

PoliteActivist:


Your attempt at twisting history is ridiculous. African gods don't do forgiveness but they forgave those who stole them to Europe to the extent they are thriving today so much that we want to japa there..

Your attempt at revisionism is ridiculous. The whites bringing Christianity were not a monolith at all. Protestants called Catholics vile names and Mary worshipper and vice versa. All the govt was interested in is you could read and write English, not religion.

Another thing, we completely forget the vile things, terrible superstitions, and measure of cruelty that went with worshipping those gods

Is matter of choice and you can join them if you like. What special about them

●Stop being dumb.

An artefact is just a symbol. A piece of wood or bronze. It holds no intrinsic power.

So saying they ''stole the gods'' makes no sense.

It's like saying I ''stole Jesus'' if I carted away a box of crucifixes.

▪︎▪︎You cannot invent history off the top of your head, or type garbage, because many of us research this stuff, unlike you. It's been documented how colonialists deliberately had churches built along their conquest paths. It was all pre-planned. There was nothing random about anything they did.

YOU are a christian today because it was their agenda, and it was all about THEIR interests, not yours.

(The fact that you even need to be told this indicates how deeply programmed you are).



■■The Chinese, Indians, Japanese also had many such practices, in their religions, and simply updated them and CONTINUED WITH THEM.

Which is exactly what AFRICA should do.

You reject your own rich and beautiful African religion, to be following so called 'saviours' from Europe and Arabia.

Meanwhile you have no clue that the REAL reason the colonialists and Arab invaders forced you to abandon your religion was because they were SCARED SHITLESS of its deep spirituality and power. And its capacity to free the human mind.

The whites today have all abandoned the Roman invented ''Jesus'' and are all chasing African-inspired religions from Buddhism to Hinduism to African religion itself - ancIent spiritual traditions which predate christianity by thousands of years, and hold the REAL TRUTHS of our existence.

I wonder why a sane human being in this life would support the murder of children (twins) all in the name of african religion it pukes my stomach

How many whites practice this When they came to africa people were faced with slavery, caste system, human sacrifices and strange diseases. But some people brought medicine and a religion that didn’t require human blood. Missionaries who the supposed juju could not harm. Why won’t people go for that religion. Muhammad abolished traditional religion in Arabia. Today are they not progressive

Rest, oga.

If not for the very intervention of Christian missionaries, you had very abhorrent practices in Africa. The killing of twins/infants, human sacrifices to gods, mutilation of body parts for fortification, violent intolerance of other faiths, violent festivals (like the ancient practice of órò), etc. are only few of these. Christian missionaries literally stopped the killing of twins amongst other primitive, hostile practices.

There's a reason why historians described the precolonized Africa as brutish. Of course, they had their biases. They aren't always correct. But you know as well as I do that many ancient African religious practices were nothing short of abhorrent.

And the whites aren't chasing your religion o. Those in the pictures are from Brazil, Cuba and other people with very close affinity to Yoruba. They aren't even proper whites.

MindHacker9009:
Jesus was invented by the Roman empire when they were occupying Isreal. For the few who are naive and trully beleiving and praying in Jesus name need to start praying directly to God Almighty.
Majority of those shouting in Jesus nane are into traditional and other means of spiritual powers
