Alienophilia by AyoAyorinde: 6:18am On Aug 17, 2013
In 1963 census although controversial, 47% of Nigerians were said to be Muslim, 35% Christian, and 18% Traditional believers. In 2001's census, it was recorded that 50% were Muslims, 40% Christians and 10% Traditionalists. 10 years later, its 50.8% Christians, 48.8% Muslims and 0.4% Traditional worshipers. If it is a fact that Religion is an integral part of a communities culture and identity, and its agreeable that a man that lost his lore, his heritage, his heirloom, lost all value, and thus will be subservient to alien ways of life, a reason for which immigrants, like the Indians, dim it important to migrate to wherever in the world with his/her god and hold it sacramental, even to the point of maintaining individual cast and sects, same does the Chinese, Thais, a larger part of Russians and other progressive culture rich societies, when a Cuban is teaching our people about IFA, our perceived fetish Diviner! Then, what hope do we, as a nation have? Was 1st of October a physical relieve and not a mental release? Now our Monarchy (the custodian of our culture) is under the directives of the LG, LG under SG, SG under FG, and FG under COMMONWEALTH which is under our former slave master’s Monarch. RISIBLE………..God bless Nigeria!
