so are u saying those that worship jesus and mohammed are not backward? look at sudan, somalia, mali to the list, iraq, most togolese and benins are christians.. yet they are all backward..... u also forgot to add countries like japan, china, india etc that worship idol and yet they are not backward (that shows that no matter what u worship, if u are gonna be backward, u are gonna be backward and no god is going to safe anybody or country from being backward)..... if all africans embrace their gods without fear of discrimination. i think something good myt start happening in africa... the same way the west embraced their jesus and the arabs embraced their mohammed, east embraced their hindu ...let africans embraced their ogun, ifa, amadioha etc
All the ifas,amadioha,ogun,no body said they are the almighty God ! We are not saying that there are no gods after all,i am a christian and my bible tells me that i am a god ! But since you like to worship gods,if you come to worship me,i will stop u and chase you away so u dnt worship me. The Almighty God has always frown at the worship of all other small gods ! The almighty god is the only God that should be worshiped !
Talking about prosperity,who told you that the countries that worship other gods than the ALMIGHT GOD,THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH ARE TRUELY PROPEROUS ? My bible tells me that they are all naked, pitiable and impoverish ! What you think is prosperity isn't prosperity ! To u,it may look as if these pple and countries are prosperous but they swim in abject poverty ! If you dnt know Jesus or do not believe in HIM,you are the most miserable,ignorant and impoverished of all ! He (ANY INDIVIDUAL)who has Jesus is richer than China,US,Japan,Germany, SWITZERLAND,Qater and Saudi Arabia put together.
Do not be deceived,not all who claim they are christians are truly Christians !
Embracing the devilish,traditional idol worshipping of the BLACK MAN or the WHITE MAN will be lack a dog that just finished vomiting and at the same time,went back to it's vomit and start to eat it up again. God forbid me,my friends,relatives or even any of my enemy if i have one to be involved in such a thing.
For those of you who are already in it,pls come out fast for the KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND !

Protect ur ancestral ways of doing things but not all of them are Godly WAYS OF DOING THINGS !
lol so what is the godly way of doing things? bible way? (did u see them cutting human head or what? choi african man ... white man really did a good job brainwashing africans from generations to generations .. who even introduce God in heaven to africans before u can talk about Godly way huh?


Even the white man get a devilish way of worship way God dey seriously frown at !

Accept Jesus today and be saved for life !
God bless us.
this is completely illogical.. if ur papa was an armed robber .. u dont need another man to tell u to kill ur papa and the good side of ur own papa to embrace his own papa becos his own papa doesnt have negative side...
and if u dont kill ur own papa and embrace his own papa then his own papa will throw u inside hell fire grin grin

so instead of u to question why his own papa was cruel that he throws anybody that doesnt accept him into fire that never stop burning (afterall ur own papa didnt force anybody to become armed robbers). ... u decide to succumb like a zombie to the fear of the unknown .. becos u no wan go hell. that nobody has being able to proof its existence grin grin grin

THANK GOD THAT THE WHITE PEOPLE CAME TO COLONIZE US O ! God has a way of doing HIS THINGS !
Christ said said,'on the last days my sheep will all be reconciled back to me'' !
We are back to Christ and can't leave HIM for any man made god ! or any funny looking creature you guys put up here as ur gods. I dished my fathers religion for Christianity becos that religion of my fore fathers(IDOL WORSHIPING) is devilish practice ! My fore fathers may be ignorant but i can't be like them ! After all they told me that i have to be bigger than them !So how should i now stoop so low to their own level to start worshipping those stones,woods,men and other stuffs out there in the name of God !
Jesus died for there to be a termination of all these things ! Little surprise some Jewish and ignorant Christians still worship IDOLS !

obviously he hasn't, he is lost in his white european jesus that's on the cross. Unfortunate that we have lost our cultures and traditions and have adopted the white man's tradition, I don't see them doing the same. If you go to brazil this festival is still celebrated there as a result of the slaves that ended up there. Travel far and wide but don't forget ur heritage and traditions.

Let me hear any idio$t/ignorant Nigerian that would disavow this when it predates Christianity and Islam. Go back and inquire what our forebears worshiped. You think they were stup$id or didn't know any better? If this predates Christianity and Islam should have you thinking. Now does this reflect true way of communicating to God? I don't know and nobody knows. Same could be said of Christianity and Islam. NOBODY HAS A CORNER ON TRUTH EXCEPT GOD. UNTIL THEN, MANKIND WILL KEEP EXPERIMENTING.

I do respect peoples opinion, but can you pagans and idol worshipers make your points without cursing black people.
[b]
Its on record most countries that worship idol/voddoo a[/b]re the most backward on earth, look at Haiti for example. Togo and Benin are good examples as well. In Togo and Benin 90% of their footballers do these things in the hope of getting good clubs overseas, but behind their back they know its wrong.

If the God these people are worshiping is true and good God why are they poorer than poor?

If you look closely, most people that do these things are either fake Christians or fake Muslims. Look at some of them with Muslim chaplets, what does that tell you? It is not that they do not know that there is only one true God (JEHOVAH) These mostly illiterate people worship juju to get quick fame/power.

I am Igbo, our fore fathers did similar things. My grand father died at the age of over 100 years. Before he died he confirmed that they used to perform similar sacrifices to the God of sun of thunder etc. My grandfather confirmed that even before the white men came to Nigeria with their religion, they already know that THERE IS ONE SUPREME GOD THAT CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.

What do the Japanese ,Koreans and Chinese Worship??[/b]

PAGAN 9JA:


No i dont remember any such articles of yours but i will see to it. you as the rest of your narrow kind, are highly mistaken. it is not the idol we worship, but what it represents. however, it so happens that when we concentrate our SPiritual Energies on an object for long. we tend to imbibe some SPirituality into it.

you can buy a doll from a store, for example, and compare it with an idol placed at a Pagan Shrine. The difference is clearly evident. you can feel the power emanating from the idol , that is absolutely non-existent in the toy plastic doll. you must experience this. you can deny but you cant escape.

now as before, let me explain Idolatory:

[size=32pt]there is NOTHING wrong with idol worship![/size]

It is not the wood or stone that we worship, but what it represents. The abrahamists r just intent upon spreading lies about us. Let it be known that there is no true devotion involved in worshipping 'thin air'. We humans are materialistic in nature. We need to touch, sense, smell or see something b4 we entertain any feelings towards it. Even the sly and crafty roman catholics, though involved in man worship (unlyk us Pagans who worship God(s)), still keep an idol of jesus in their place of worship, though they shamelessly deny idolatory outside, because they realised the signifance of idols and its role in worship.
AGikuyu Pagan traditionalists from Kenya on the other hand, though monotheists, worship 'God'/Ngai by worshipping him through his creations by worshiping nature and Mount Kilimanjaro. This is also a form of idolatory and it is good.
even the most fanatic of muslims sees an 'image' of God in their minds while praying. It is just in our nature and how it was meant to be..




now as for the woman pouring libation, this is an ancient ritual of showing piety and influencing the Siritual Force(s). It exists throughout the world.

even by you hypocrite xtians:


"And Jacob set up a Pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a Pillar of Stone; and he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it". (Genesis 35:14)


so you can call your israeli jacob , satan if you like.

the Idol below that picture is The Legba. not satan. it is funny how ignorant you can be. Yorubas in Nigeria call it Ellegua and is associated with "opening the ways", or crossroads. Often depicted as a child or a small man, playful; a trickster and a strategist amongst the divinities.
Ellegua is a manifestation of Eshu. Eshu is assocaited with the balancing of the forces (Similar to the Ying Yang).

what the bible says hardly matters. let me remind you that it was the bible that said we are descended from 2 sinners, adam & eve, it was the bible that said the Earth is flat and the SUn revolves around the Earth, it was the bible that said that the Earth was created in 6 days and that dnosaurs dont exist (since humans were created first), it wa the bible that said the humans are create in Gods image, it is the bible that supported slavery, it is the bible that advocates killing of non-believers, etc. .

so such a useless jewish book cannot be taken seriously in Nigeria and in the world at large. it must be destroyed.

You are so sthupid for saying that. Tell me how the bible supported slavery and tell me how it supported the killings of unbelievers. Hidiot! The bible is not that twisted. It is crystal clear and am astonished at the rate with which you translated it to something else.

I should study history and start to worship the devil right !
Becos history says that the devil created the heavens and the earth right !
History said i should put up carved images from wood or stone and start to the blood of animals on them right !
History said that since the bible i.e the book of proverbs written by solomon has some yorubas and igbo proverbs embedded in it,i should see it that solomon and David could either be yorubas or igbos or they are of the yorubaigbo origin ! Oh !na wao !
You said they borrowed just the proverbs ! From ur write up above,what i can deduce is that the bible was written by either the yorubas or the igbos or proverbs were borrowed or stolen from the igbos and yoruba's ! Since it is this way,pls let us follow this bible or proverbs(Igbo & yoruba) that says we should not worship other gods or make any thing of any likeness as a medium of worship, whether in heaven,beneath the earth or on earth !
If ignorance is knowing and believing The Almighty God,who sent forth HIS only begotten son to come die for YOU and I and that whosoever that believes in HIM shall not perish but have everlasting life ! Then let me continue in this state of ignorance as opined by you forever and ever aman

Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Its great to see few people that still appreciate the African culture. I'm Atheist myself and believe in freedom of knowledge and religion. I would like to believe the people that haven't moved forward are those that are still stocked and sucked into crazy ideas of religion superiority; - which can be compared to race superiority in my opinion. No human is greater than another, just differences in level of intelligence which any human who puts his/her mind at learning will achieve unless/maybe born with mental defect or just indifferent about learning. Because we weren't born with pre-knowledge of the things yet to come or our later experiences in life. And I would like to believe no religion is greater either.

The more peaceful a religion is the better it is or I may tend to like it. Islam and Christianity by history have been instruments of mass murder from generations to generations. Their gods tell them funny things. The christian god put hates between Palestinians and Israelites. And being African I wouldn't want to worship a racist Christian god. And the Islamic god put hate against anyone who is not Muslim. This are ridiculous ideas in modern times.

I have lived in Brazil for mother an a year now and I see how the Yoruba culture/gods/religion is being appreciated. For your information Brazil isn't been a 3rd world country for a long time now. Even when they called it 3rd world you can't compare the precolonial Brazil to the recent Nigeria. I'm talking about the 6th richest country in the world.

I do not believe in gods but neither do I totally disapprove of the idea of superpowers. Because it may seems that at the moment there is no practical real-time proof of gods or their works but maybe in nearest future. But then I wouldn't totally say they don't exist.

Please do not quote my message if 1. You believe your pastor is god or the mouth piece of god. 2. If you can't hold logical & intelligent conversation 3. If the only thing you know about your god is from reading popular scripts like Qur'an and The christian testaments.
