Africans and their stupid way of thinking. Is it funny that the Europeans made our culture and tradition inferior and yet imposed their own ways on us? How are you even show that the so called European culture and way of life is even better than the African way? The Europeans brought democracy to Africa, Christianity and their way of life to Africa and in the process destroying an age old civilisation that has existed as they did with the Mayas, Incas, Native Americans and the Aztecs. When the Europeans visited the great Bini empire they were marveled at the system of government the Binis were operating which was very similar to that of the British monarchical system. The Binis developed the bronze casting system, the Mayas invented the first world calender and the native Americans invented the irrigation system and yet they called these people primitive. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery and stop looking inferior. It's the white man's culture that has brought about the moral decadence in our modern society. They call the African way of life fetish and primitive and they allow Same Sex marriage? 4 Likes |

/ Interesting! You bow down to crucifix, cross; use chaplets and blessed sacraments; buy vehicle stickers from Daddy and Mummy G.Os for protection. Yet you have the guts to chastise traditional religion as idolatrous. Maybe you need your head examined. They are all the same...just different packaging. 6 Likes 1 Share |

It depends on who define idolatry. The devil himself could be calling the other devil.What Africans believes about themselves is what oyinbos make of them and want them to believe. They Colonized them,school them,name them,partition them and directs them. "Modern" Africans of today have no beliefs of their own. They are like leaves in the wind,with no original thoughts, strategies,intuitions and instincts. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Yes so and I'll give one simple example to prove my point. A modern traditionalist will never want to marry a woman of his kind- those kind of women that visit,bath, eat and sleep in shrines for concotions and all that. What does that tell you? The ancient traditions/cultures were based on fetish and demeaning teachings from wicked spirits-most with gay attributes that's why women were tossed around like dirt. Thank God for christianity and civilization. 1 Like |

The word "idol " is used very often by European and the whites to describe African and other black nation and the Carribeans type of God. African traditional religion lacks backing by the Europeans because it was not written down in a Holy Book otherwise, we could have considered gods like "Amadioha, Ogun oduduwa etc, as Gods too. Come to think of it, most names of Gods written down in the Old Testament are just like African Gods. 2 Likes |

we claim to be Christians and better than our ancestors, yet corruption and moral decadence is the order of the day, even in churches. I was telling my friends the other day, that if in Nigeria, political office holders are sworn into office using our traditional religious rites, corruption would be non existent. after all the bible says, ...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. (Dan 11:32) Are we a strong people? 1 Like |

No, it is not, for me n my household we still celebrate d igue festival. our problem in Edo is that we allow other tribes tell us that our tradition is fetish but when its time for theirs they travel home ,n do d real fetish festivals, but cos we don't know they come as saints to us to condemn our own festival Dat is not even fetish. 2 Likes |
