The Olympic Games

This is weird! Did the French ever in fact worship the Greek gods? This is annoyingly fake abeg! I would have preferred it if the French dug deep into their ancestry to local and showcase their local gods in this. The games are about inclusion and this ain't my idea of inclusion

Imagine if China or Tokyo had done something like this... I would have 😨 This is definitely a miss abeg!

PrettySmart:
But Nigerians will never pay tribute to Sango, Ogun, Obatala, Orunmila, or even Amadioha... Issokay, Continue!

When last did you pay tribute to any of your above mentioned?

Wonderful. Dedicating the sport activities to their idols. Una doh

JoeEeL:


The joke is never on them. The joke is on you who insist on “One Nigeria”

Even in the south propaganda and all sorts of negative info will be spread. That is when, the Olympics that wasn't seen as a demonic event when Nigeria beat Brazil in Atlanta 96 will now be criticized by religious leaders with fabricated brainwashing information about the origin of Olympics culled from their depressed mindset.

It is because you have been indoctrinated to see everything they do as perfect...they say white is good and black is evil..but funny thing is Caucasians are Orange not white...they tell you your culture is voodoo etc.

MT:


@Nazgul, I have not read this comment before I made my previous comment to your post.

You cant expect the whites to respect you when you naturally feel inferior to them or make excuses for their actions.

That's the zombie mentality, not just about religion, but general perceptions. Just like you said you will believe the white God, lol, nothing like black or white God.

the general perception is right, what would have come of you if those white folks neglected and forsake you forefathers black sorry ass....plain answer to that is nothing. oga face reality that why ye all wanna travel there.

Their time!

Jesus' time is coming!

Africa wake up. There is nothing wrong with your traditional religions.

If you are somewhere in Yoruba land, I dare you to move in the night when the Oba dies.

The white folks enslaved your ancestors, are you praising them for enslaving your ancestors

It's poor people that want to travel and escape poverty not everyone.
Slave mentality is deep.

1. There is no denying that there are and there have been some barbaric customs here and there. Not just in Yoruba Land. Look at what is done to little children in Akwa Ibom with the idea that they are witches.

2. But customs are not necessarily religion.

3. Islam, Christianity & Judaism all have, and have practiced barbaric customs.

4. When I say there is nothing wrong with African Traditional Religion, I simply mean that it needs not be demonized as against Western Religion. Furthermore, it can and should also be retained, encouraged in many respects where it is positive and where it serves to accentuate the history and culture of the people.

I do not mean that there is nothing negative whatsoever with it really. All religions have negatives and positives.

As for me, I am entirely irreligious.

Satan is a smaller name compared to Zeus.

What is kneeling down before a Statue of a Cross or kissing a black stone in the Kaabah?

Olodo, the Olympics originated in Greece, so it's apt.

Johnjustice:

Lies, science, technology and appropriate utilization of resources and slave era helped them progress.

So why haven't we also progress?

Just stop talking nonsense like a village lad.

phorget:



Lol,
It's like saying the witch in Nigeria is the same witch in the developed countries.

Unless you can explain the difference between the Hammer of Thor and Ose Sango, and the fact that the two entities are gods of thunder but from different people, I'll take it that you have absolutely no knowledge of either of them.

My guy, the dumbness and mental slavery of adults here is alarming, and most of them claim educated, intelligent etc, but really ignorant.

Idolatry is still idolatry no matter who practices it. It makes you spiritually lost and far from your real creator.

Mrexcell:

Is worshipping a fellow human being as God also Idolatry?

Is kneeling before a cross also idolatry?

Is praying to Mary Idolatry?

Is kissing a black stone in Mecca Idolatry?

phorget:




Because those gods you mentioned has not in anyway helped us to progress but their gods made them achieve greatness.

What an ignorant joker.

Goddyrichie:
