It's laughable how the pagans, or whatever they beliefs are are so quick to oppose Christianity because it's the only religion that preach against their immoral nature. They are so ignorant. They believe in Greek imaginary god called zeus but quick to spit rubbish at Christians. Isn't that funny. They defend every other imaginary gods that people worship just to talk down on Christians. Look inward, it says alot about who you really are.
mind u ,de pre-christian African society had well stipulated morals and code of conducts...we were not barbaric ... though we may have our flaws,so also do de flaws of the whiteman's religion abound... the whiteman stopped us from certain ills ,yet,dey brought about many more ills... like exploiting de brother and sister in Christ in de very name of Christ... no one religion is perfect... learn from all of them and u'll bcm wholly....

Honestly i will say that the many replies we get from the Christians here are utterly disappointing and unintelligent.. .
Have heard many say the white brought education and civilization here, oh that is correct they brought their OWN education and taught us to ignore ours.
I am an igbo and i was suprised when i did many research about my tribe and found high rate of intelligence For intance the ancient igbos had knowledge in music, medicine, biology, geography, astronomy and suprisingly have their own mathematics...
the igbos accurately divided the year into 365 days thousands of years before the julian and gregorian calendar was brougth to us.
the days are divided into 4days in a week (eke, orie, afor and nkwor)
then 7weeks in one moon (month)
then 13months in one year and then a 1day added to it and gives you precisely 365 days...am sure most igbos here dont know this.
Before the missionaries came to africa, the african society was diverse, culturally rich, beautiful, morally stable. we had our own unique mythology and religion, our own gods and ways of worship.
We had unique knowledge and relationship with nature and the world and our religion taught universal goodness.nobody ever thought or said the world will rapture or get destroyed, their deep love for mother nature was unmatched...
Then the white men came; they did many magical things, they can kill you just by pointing a stick at you(Gun), they did many wondrous things that were new and strange to us...Then the inferior feelings set it, we saw our selves as the inferior beings, we started listening to them.
They taught us our gods are demons but the one they brought is the real universal god, they threatened us with hell fire and the world's ending... We blindly believed them, they branded our ways demonic endorsed theirs, We fell for it....I am still wondering how the africa gods which are supposedly the evil and dark ones never threatened anybody with eternal fire or damnation or ever threatening to destroy the whole earth, but the one they brought who they claim to be love and just does that and is proud of it...Please who is fooling who
we blindly abondoned our ways and embraced his, now we are lost in his confusion, our own ways are now strange to us...
When are we going to say enough and take back our lives...
Beautiful african utopia is now in darkness claiming to be in the light..
we are blind, blinded by our own ignorance and vainful vanity...
AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

U're a wise man bro

Your God my God was or is in existence, but he look for a way to harmonised us. He started by sending different prophets. Then sent us human spirit jesus. Asking us to behave like jesus. That is no matter what I feel aboutt my village god, it cannot be popular. We don't need blood of animal. All we need is making my body a living sacrifice(positive acts) all the time. Jesus teachings is the same law of government. Embrace his teaching . If you give ceaser, you have given God

ur Jesus has nothing to do with me as an African, even his brethren in the middle east swear him to be false..why then should an African take a jew who lived his own life as he wanted as his god?

Surely if Jesus was spirit sent to the whole world, he should have made international.news in his time on earth
He should have been known in my village, it shouldn't have taken caucasian traders and explorers to first find us deep in Africa, Jesus should have done that himself 2000yrs ago, it shouldn't have taken about 1500years for us to know our so called saviour. Damn! nowhere in Africa was a spiritual saviour from the middle east ever needed.
Your Jesus is a lie, best you realize that soon

We don't need blood of animal?? How ironic you belief we need Jesus blood yet this Jesus was biologically an animal...(humans are animals of the primate family)

I have nothing against ur Jesus teachings but then bleep him, bleep his teachings. we don't need him because we have many teachings of our own...it's silly dumping our own knowledge for some Jewish fantasy sold to us for the price of our mental nd intellectual independence

There have never been a time Christianity has not be known. It has been from the foundation of the world. Every other god came thereafter. In the old and now people still worship these gods but Christianity still standout. In solving problems God Almighty is the best solution because He made everything.

Isaiah 31:1

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Lmao christianity at the foundation of the world?! Where do u place judaism that was evolved into christianity by Romans?
Where do u put canaanite polytheism where Yahweh was first worshipped as Lord of caves, mountains and high places?

Where's do u put African spiritual standards? Being that mother Africa is the oldest inhabited land area


That verse u quoted is borne out of racism, the Jews were and still are bleeping racists...they hate on anything non-jew.
History confirms that Egypt was the site for solution to all problems for those in the Mediterranean...who knows the holy one of Israel?

at some point people will have to introduce people to new things, don't be ridiculous, the same white people also ensure that you are educated today, that you don't kill your twins. Christianity stopped you from killing your twins, killing those who unmask a masquerade and many other atrocities. Be reasonable for once.

Really? You owe caucasians ur intellectuality? Well u are lowly intellectual...it doesn't surprise me

Christianity stopped nothing, killing of twins in Africa is as exaggerated as Jesus being saviour of the world...all lies by coning missionaries
Tell us about killing of twins in Africa let's see what you know about it and how true the tale is
You seek to compare us to barbaric Europeans who killed children on claims of witchcraft nd burnt the young bright futured on the stake all out of some religious superstition

Religion as introduced to africans by the colonialists has only done two things
1. Turned the Bible reading fellows into Hypocrites
2. Turned the Koran reading fellows into extremists
The resultant effects of the hypocrisy and extremism are hatred, and disunity amongst the people. Back to the topic, before the advent of religion not just Christianity to dis part of the world, our tradition was potent. Our culture was rich and vibrant and very well practiced and these solved many of our problems ranging from physical disputes to spiritual problems. Religion (Christianity and Islamism) is just a distraction from our rich culture, a tool d colonialists has used to label our african practices as demonic, fetish, and discouraged us from practicing it yet they came here and carted away all our oracles and deities for their own benefits having realised its potency. Those days wen we practiced our tradition, there was love, peace, security and fear of destroying lives and property unlike today where amidst Religious indoctrinations there is no regard for life. Neither Christianity nor Islamism has helped d Nigerian situation. Political office holders swear with the bible and Koran yet they still steal and kill the citizens and gullible religious bigots say God is merciful instead of admitting that the so called holy books are just menu lists, they have no potency unlike d oracles that are incorruptible. I challenge all political office holders to swear with Ogun, Okija, Amadioha, etc and see if they won't govern us with their conscience. Religion and its practices is the bane of all our problems.

Can you give instances where problems were never solved..cus as I Yoruba I can tell you the only problem traditional unsolved was Sickle cell and small pox which caucasians can't solve either but we Africans find ways of prevention
Nothing like cancer in our time, I can say cancer came with christianity
