Did I read this right? An ancient site destroyed and replaced with a new statute of Jesus? A site that is capable of generating wealth for generations? It wasn't even moved but destroyed entirely yet the statute of Alexander the great a pagan still stands today?

There's something fundamentally wrong with the way a black man thinks, no matter how religious you are, if in deed that site has existed for hundreds of years, common sense should let you know that this is a bad move.

But what do you expect in a country where tourism especially in the countryside is dead and crude oil is still being held on like a child holding onto his mother's bréast? Black folks have successfully destroyed their identity because they do not understand how to give to Caesar what belongs to him, that's why these afrocentrists are bent on holding onto ancient civilizations to make themselves feel better.

It is a Nigerian thing because East and Southern Africans won't behave in such a manner. Even African Americans would not. We should stop labelling everything ill Nigerians do on the entire race.

Nigeria has toilet elites! Both private and public sectors

So, the idol white Jesus has been used to replace the Bakor monoliths sculptures in the capital city of Calabar. Isho and our ancestors allowed this to happen so as to draw our attention to the original stones and what we must do, not only to preserve them, but to lift them up before the world. Since the world has chosen to hide the truth about us and about this world so that evil can prevail, it is time for the stones to cry out.

Habakkuk 2:11
"...For the stone will cry out from the wall..."

Luke 19:40
“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

The Bakor monoliths are proof that we are the origin and founders of civilization. Ignore the "200 AD" lie told by white people.

The Demonization Of Ikom Monoliths And Christianization Of Cross River By Agba Jalingo

As the uproar continues over the demolition of the replica of the Ikom monoliths at Zone 6 roundabout in Calabar, and its replacement with the sculpture of Jesus the Good Shepherd, Crossriverwatch today sent a team to Alok, the original sites where the monoliths were found. Government aparachiks have continued to insist that Jesus must reign over our State and everything that represents idolatry, in their judgment, must be brought down. Now what exactly is the bone of contention?

The stone monoliths of Alok in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, originally consisted of around 400-450 engraved standing stones of varying heights between one to two meters, distributed around thirty communities, and are thought to be up to 3000 years old. The carved stones are grouped in circles facing each other. They bear a form of writing and a complex system of codified information.

According to the United Nation's World Heritage site, "Although they seem to share the same general features, each stone, like the human finger print, is unique from every other stone in its design and execution. They are similar in arrangement and ordering to the Stone Circles in the Gambia, but unique in their complexity of design and interpretation. Like most rock art works in Africa, like the one in Tanzania, the Ikom monoliths could be West Africa's answer to the United Kingdom's Stonehenge monoliths.

"The geometric images on the monoliths suggest that their makers possessed more than a basic knowledge of mathematics, not only because they are geometric, but also because of the obvious implication that there were computations and numbers on the layout of the stones. While the images and texts carved on the monoliths remain undeciphered, researchers and linguists believe that the inscriptions represent a prehistoric form of writing and visual communication."

An environmental study of the site identified the most immediate threats to the stones to include, neglect, effects of weathering, erosion, exposure to heavy rainfall, extreme heat and sun, biological attack caused by high humidity, damage from falling trees, theft, vandalism, local agricultural practices such as bush burning.

The threats have depleted the number of the stones and there are now estimated to be less than 250, with many having been distributed amongst major museums throughout the world. Because of these threats, in 2007 the monoliths were added to the World Monuments Fund’s list of sites in danger and are being considered for inclusion into UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list.

The Stonehenge monoliths generated more than £30m in tourism income to the UK, in the past five years, according to Tourism Minister John Penrose on BBC. An average of £6m annually. Tanzania is ramping efforts to open up the 'Rock Arts' in Kondoa to increase tourism revenue and Gambia has completed plans to massively promote the 'Rock Circles' of Senegambia, to also boost tourism revenue. But, the attempt at Christianizing Cross River State by our new leader, is not only demonizing our monoliths, it is threatening the value and history behind the famous Ikom monoliths.

The replica of the monoliths which was erected at the Zone 6 roundabout in Calabar, by the Duke administration was meant to draw attention and tourists to the original sites. Like putting an advertorial bill board on a highway or at the airport. It was meant to arouse curiosity in both indigenes and visitors to our State, of the existence of a pre-historic civilization and academia in our State, that is older than the birth of Christ, and draw them to the original site with a view to generating tourism income. But that replica has been destroyed and replaced with the sculpture of Jesus the Good Shepherd. While the monoliths in Ikom are threatened by environmental and human factors, the replica in Calabar has been demolished by the antics of political gerrymandering.

What is the policy behind the demolition of our roundabouts or is it just a spur of the moment reaction? When was this policy proposed, debated and approved? Who proposed the policy and what was the reasoning that enabled its approval? What is the basis for replacing the image of the monoliths with that of Jesus the Good Shepherd?

What exactly will be the value of the new statue to us? Does the erection of religious statues increase the godliness of the people? Will the new religious statues springing up in Calabar stop our leaders from stealing our money and make them govern us well? Will these statues survive beyond Governor Otu's administration if his successor isn't interested in the Christianization agenda or are we going to continue wasting tax payers money on statues in every administration? Are those who harbor and are implementing this agenda aware that there are Cross Riverians who are not Christians? Were these leaders voted to govern us or to teach us God? Can these leaders tell us a roundabout in Israel, the holy land, that is decorated with the statue of Jesus? I just say make I ask.

I wonder if 'Joseph' really believed her story.

Total fairy tale but it’s good to illustrate the Bible nonsense using real life to show the absurd stupidity of the thing.

Imagine a Naija man called Bomboy who came back from a 6 months trip and the wife is 3 months pregnant. He asks how, she replies a ghost. Kia kia, the man would request a refund of his bride price with interest.

Imagine a 15 year old girl down the street turns up pregnant. They ask how, she says ghost, she collects slap.

They destroyed the creativity of their ancestors and erected that which was used to enslave them!

Dumbo’s!

they replaced thier history with the oyinbo jesus scam lie. How can you put up religious statue that looks like someone that calls you a nigger. Record breaking low self esteem. And its at times like this you know all thier instructions come from oyinbo that run Africa.

If they had thier way they would destroy Olumor Rock in Abeokuta also, cause they dont want black people associated with anything historical, so that we can remain a people with no hisotry going back past 100 years .

That is why all the black nations in the world are new countries with no ancient history.
THey wont destroy Stone Henge in UK, but they would make sure anything that look like it in Africa gets destroyed.

There are Igbo people that have made videos showing some cultural status historical links between igbo lands and and german villages.

Because we know that a lot of the black people along the southern African coast were brought there from Europe.

But the biggest jokers are those who worship white jesus, even European racists will cry for africa on this one.

They run nigeria from thie European embassies

Paganism. Making statues of God's creation. What next? People will start going there to bow for the statue.

Why on earth would a governor do such a thing 🤔
This is mind boggling oooo!!!!

Does he think that any Israeli citizen will come & worship there or what?

Pulling down history for what nah!!!!

This most be fake news

Babangidapikin:
They took your ancestral pride away . Does the Lord Jesus know you ... People always forming as if they're more religious than the Pope.

Not everything about ur ancestral pride and traditions are good. We must not be stuck up in the past in the name of traditions by force but learn to evolve like the west but in a positive way.

I don't believe in destroying historic sites if they stand for positive things or a reminder of how far we have come.

A welcome development. Who knows the sacrifices that people would have carried out there.

D4gmail1:
Chai! And who has ever seen Jesus physically that is alive today? What gives them the assurance that image is an image of Jesus? Africa needs help.

Brotherman you don't have to see the image of Jesus before you believe He exists. That is only an act of Faith. And the message is clear.

membranus:


Your knowledge of the Bible is so minute. If God is not against slavery, then why were the Israelites rescued from their slavish existence in the pharaonic Egypt in the book of Exodus?

Also the mind of GOD is astronomically higher than the mind of a natural man, thus He knows things in an higher realm than man's.

And the encyclopediac vision of GOD is greater than the monopediac vision of man, thus He sees things in a wider realm than man's.

His supposed favourite people - the Israelites....why did he command them to plunder and enslave those he helped to conquer......there was no condemnation against slavery but rather a condescending empathy to save his children already in slavery .
During Jesus's era, slavery was equally prevalent and their was no such rebuke or comment against it but rather moralising it.....the parable of the servants and their talents readily comes to mind.

Babangidapikin:

Okay thanks for the enlightenment, I suspect so too , but I am sadden that we are quick to replace our ancestral heritage with people who took us as slaves own ...and technically still enslaving us ...

But you are not sadden that you don’t live in mud houses and halts anymore?
You are not sadden that you don’t rely on horses anymore?
You are not sadden that you are enjoying the modern facilities the slave masters giving you.

You are only sadden about the religion, Weldone Sir.

What the actual Bleep?!

NaijaCowFarm:
Good job ... monolith is EVIL and we do not celebrate evil.
Let it be asserted that ALL of South-South is for JESUS!!!

ok slave, as long as it makes your master happy

The Cross River Government, led by Governor Bassey Otu, has demolished a historic monolith structure.

Reports indicate that it has been replaced with a statue of Jesus Christ as a shepherd leading his flocks. Additionally, the flag of Israel has been hung on the staff of the statue.

The monolith, known as the Ikom monoliths, is part of a series of volcanic-stone monoliths from the area of Ikom. The Ejagham people are believed to have engraved the monoliths around 200 CE.

The monolith stands between 0.3 and 1.8 metres (1 and 6 feet) high and is laid out in some 30 circles located around Alok in the Ikom area of Cross River State.

This change has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Cross River State after Donald Duke left office has always had some funny creepy characters as their governor. The other one (Ben Ayade) that is in the league of disgraceful professors in Nigeria was a known mental case. This one there now is now exhibiting same sense of charlatanism and demagoguery. How in this century can a man who travels abroad and visits museum and historic site filled with artefacts destroy same in his state. Why is underdeveloped chicken brain humans only found in Africa?

KnownUnknown:


What does it matter if it’s black man, white man, yellow man, or purple man’s religion? Nonsense is nonsense no matter the hue and Christianity is arrant nonsense.

Once upon a time a ghost fvcked a virgin…..

That's the Orthodox doctrine. There are other doctrines where not only is Joseph is the father but Yesihua himself is a father. And no Yesihua is not God. The Orthodox version was the glue that held together the Empire because people need to believe in something bigger than human so Jesus became God. But there is only one God the Creator. It's what separated Monotheism from Pagan religion.

The same people wey dey chop humans? Now I know why Jesus wept

Krismas:
and to think Jesus is even a black person. and that the fake image of Jesus in western press, is the art work of Leonardo da Vinci, painting his homosexual partner, in a transgender cloth as a portrait of Jesus of Nazareth

Matthew 11:15
"Whoever has ears, let him hear"

Surely, the Messiah's name and likeness; as a matter of fact, his total identity was falsified for a wicked reason...

Again:
"Whoever has ears, let him hear"

Some people are very useless State symbol you demolished it because of you don't in it go to Paris go and check there symbol you dey not to touch it African has been brain washed

Donald duke was the only governor cross river state had.

When you don't know who you are, how would you know where you are going to ... Why do I need road when I can Teleport ,the civilization that has only breed people not accountable to others because they swore by some people's holy book,the greatest light you can have is a fulfilled and contented life ....Why not say Goat ..and forget your mother's tongue ...onye iberibe.

pimplucious:
How did we get so dumbto think the white guy, Robert Powell who acted Jesus of Nazareth is actually Jesus?

We got so brainwashed we did even realize we are instructed in the 10 commandments not to make an image in heaven above or on earth below in the likeness of God. This is nothing less than idol worship the Bible warned agains.

You speak of brainwashing but don't realize you yourself have been brainwashed when you reference the Israeli storybook called the bible

Hallelujah! Jesus reigns in Nigeria.

Jesus is not western religion. He is the saviour of the world including the west, east, north and south.

But that is not what Jesus looks like.

iLoveYouToo:
🤦‍♂️ Nigeria strikes again, majoring in minor things

Like ThiefNuibu's reversal to the old colonial anthem to provide talking point to the ebiNpawa enikanlomo shege choked masses. Recycling is the JagaBandit's version of renewed hope.

Not reduction in government expenses and increase in minimum wage. Not any of that.

Ironically, the first transatlantic Slave ship to transport kidnapped slaves to the New world was named ' The Good Ship Jesus ' .

The tragedy of that historic voyage still haunts the Negro race till this day. For, ever since that voyage,the Evil ship Jesus has continued kidnap and enslave the minds of the Negro race.

The whites did not kidnap us to enslave.
We freely raided and kidnapped our own brethren to sell for mirrors, fabrics, umbrellas, alcohol, etc just as the 11 Jew brothers sold Joseph (Yusuf in Islam) to the Egyptian.
We blacks are unique for being the race that sold many of its own people to another race, to the extent that people like Madam Tinubu wanted to continue selling slaves after the British changed their minds and abolished it.

Are we not still selling our people into white slavery by allowing our politicians to loot us and stash the money in Pandora Papers as well as European and American properties. We Yorubas were the leaders in the trade, as reflected in Yoruba being spoken in parts of Brazil and our culture in Cuba and other Caribbean countries.

Festus Keyamo the official spokesperson of the Nigerian President Elect and also the Minister of State for Labour. Has rattled the twitter space, when he made a post showing himself juggling in front of a house in the US.

In the tweet Keyamo was thanking President Buhari and Bola Tinubu who is the Nigerians President Elect for a well deserved vacation.

He went on to say, keeping fit in his neighbourhood, may 29th on his mind.

After Keyamo made the tweet, trust Nigerians to react to it. He has been accused of syphoning govt money to aquire the property which was estimated to be 400,000 usd. They also said why didn't he aquire the property before becoming a Minister.

Kelklein:
You are simplying replacing the forefathers culture with the white man's culture you have been brainwashed with. These jesus sculptures you remove those ancient monoliths for, are simply fictions of someone's imagination somewhere..


Indeed.. religion is the opium of the masses..

Are the Greeks not making a lot of money from tourism to their temples to "pagan" ancestral gods that are roughly equivalent to the saints of Christianity?

Truly we have brainwashed ourselves beyond redemption.
