In the Nsukka cultural zone of Enugu State, many Chrisitians are barred from participating in the sweeping of village arena for the reason that there are “idol” shrines in the village arena. What has emerged as a compromise is that the Christian Churches allow their members to sweep only areas in the village arena that are not close to “idol shrines”. Whereas this is acceptable to Christians, the adherent of indigenous cultre do not buy into this compromise. For them, this compromise has not resolved the issue of the status of “idol” shrines.

First I don't even know whether there are idols in Igboland.
Second: One cannot runaway from his/her motherland (if there are idols, then they should be destroyed)
What is your opinon about this?

people can sweep wherever they want,but this idiotic notion of idols is rubbish.

There is no such thing existing

^^Maybe to you, but at least you no how serious the situation is

that is our culture.

Leave the idols alone. They are part of our culture and history.

Sweeping of the village arena is an aspect of Igbo culture that brings cleanliness to the community. Second, it is a way of bringing community members together.
It is morally wrong for our roads to grow bushy, unkept and unclean because of christianity. When the Buhari/Idiagbon regine introduced the monthly clean-up exercises, everyone participated in that programme irrespective of faith. My fellow xtians, cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Thanks Andre. I'm really grateful you said the whole thing
Must we continue to be slaves of religion. Did God give us brains so that we take orders only and never get to use it??
I really don't think so
