AreaFada2:When churches are dying in Europe and are now museums and tourist centres, our people are still mindlessly guzzling the milk of alien religions. No wonder we remain infantile Europeans are returning back to the pagan religions of their ancestors. The Chinese and Japanese never abandoned their religions. The Indians are experiencing a Hindu revival Only the black man is lost, he knows not the road that leads to his own soul. 12 Likes |

I can vouch that 90% of folks commenting on this thread never read the article. They just made posts in relation to their own understanding of the topic. Pastor Poju never broached issues on Christianity and African Religion or Tradition/Culture but just used the bible to illustrate what happens in our society today with respect to the relationship between the youths and the elderly. Unfortunately, a huge percentage of Nigerian youths do not read. ![]() 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: Even colonialism didn't bring anything good to Nigeria. Colonialism created Nigeria, and it's purpose was not ''uniting Nigerian tribes'' but to exploit the geographical region under one rule. Colonialism couldn't have united Nigeria because there was no Nigeria before Britain arrived. Before Britain arrived, each part of the ''Niger area'' was a nation on it's own solving all their problems by themselves. Nigeria was created after Britain got the ''Niger area'' geographical zone as their share at the Berlin conference 1884-1885, when African lands were shared among Europeans. They named their share Nigeria, thereby, merging tribes and nationalities that had nothing in common, and in so doing caused us all the political and socio-political problems we have today. Boko haram, Fulani herdmen, corruption, etc. Assuming you are from Southern, Eastern or Western Nigeria, you would have had no relationship with a Fulani herdsman or Boko haram menace. You would have been in your own country doing better than Nigeria is today. The rule of thumb is that white people did not bring anything good to Africa. 4 Likes |

Many commenters miss his point. This article is Pst Poju joining the current debate in Christendom about tithing, giving, doctrines, grace and the law. He is saying that there are some places were the older generation of ministers got it wrong and because of our culture of respect and deference to elders the new generation of ministers are afraid to speak up. That the real victim here is the truth as fresh revelations from the younger generation are buried on the altar of respect for the older. He said that when the younger generation fail to speak the truth God has laid in their hearts that they jeopardize their position in God and also do a disservice to the earlier generation of ministers and that eventually some of them will begin to speak with anger and disrespect (read Freeze and the Free the Sheeple movement). Bottom line, biblical truth and fresh revelation must be spoken and acted on by the current generation no matter what our culture says but that such speeches and actions should be laced with respect and honour to the preceding generation. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Gggg102: This is not true. A Christian in ogbomoso will identify wt a Muslim in ogbomosho, before identifying wt a Christian in anambra. You would be mistaken to think otherwise. Religion is not a demarcating factor among yorubas because a lot of pple wt different religions are related by blood. Siblings, parents, cousins of different religions.etc. You Igbo pple can't seem to comprehend this cos ur all christians and see d other religions, first and foremost, as an outsider. 9 Likes 1 Share |

HigherEd: This is rather odd. The question is not who he was killed by really. The question is rather the function of his killing. That function, as advanced by your religion - is the purchase by blood of the salvation of mankind. This in itself renders it a ritual. You should also bear in mind that this ritual is said to have emanated from God as his idea, and was sanctioned by him as effective salvation for the followers of Christ. Indeed the said killing was prophesied long before it occurred, according to Christian lore and Jesus himself is said to have known this and submitted to it. It is therefore abundantly clear that even if the hands that took him to the cross were Roman or Jew - the directing mind was that of the Christian God (who curiously the same Jesus is said to be - in a horrid mish-mash of the most twisted dogma conceivable). It was therefore for all purposes a ritual sacrificial killing. However Christ(our God) died for us as a one time sacrifice. It will never cease to amaze me how Christians can call a fellow man almighty God and see no blasphemy in it. I should also remind you that according to your Christian lore, Christ pleaded most fervently in the Garden of Gethsemane that "this cup should pass over my head". . . In addition, on the cross he sought forgiveness for those who had killed him. He once mentioned that his betrayer would suffer terribly. He told a parable describing how the son of the lord would be murdered and that such an act would incur the fury of the Lord. His apostle preached that whatever a man sows the same shall he reap. How does this not show you that the death on the cross was no propitiatory sacrifice? How does it fail to teach you that it absolves no one of sin - the truth rather remaining that you will reap what you sow? All religions recognize the importance of blood. But our own God decided to sacrifice his own self in the hands of unbelievers. Your God has blood? ? ? That's a story of Love and cannot be twisted by any demon inspired individual. I would say that you are the demon inspired one given your affinity with ritual human sacrifice. 3 Likes |

The same thing happens in marriages too, a lot of men will never listen to their wives in the name of "I'm the head of the family", if you like roll on the floor and use small voice to tell then pride will not let men act till it becomes too late and they have destroyed the family. 1 Like |

Some people need to read history. Our culture was still developing albeit late when it was scuppered by the white men. Culture evolves. I doubt the kids on here knew of a time when Christians were burning themselves at the stake. 3 Likes |

hopefulLandlord: I believe anything you share in common with another person is a uniting factor between both of you. between people from different tribes, it could be sports, politics, religion. different sects cause divisions among themselves but each sect can unite people with no common ground. a Yoruba Catholic will have a common ground with an Igbo Catholic since. a Yoruba deeperlife would bond with an Igbo deeperlife. if there was only one sect of Christianity, it would have brought one common ground that would unite everybody, but the multiple sects are trying to become the sole common ground. this causes more divisions. although, when a bigger threat to them comes like Islam or atheism, they could put aside their intersect differences and come together based on the fact that they believe in Jesus. the redeem HR could also look over a more qualified Muslim and hire a JW since they are both Christians. Christianity becomes a uniting factor. the redeem HR could also look over a more qualified atheist to hire a Muslim since they both believe in god. theism becomes a uniting factor. everything is relative. 1 Like 1 Share |
