well said my brother but our people are so blind that they can barely see the truth staring them in the face but do not blame them oooh some of this our own traditions are wicked and unforgiving. what do you have to say about the killing of twins in calabar before mary slessor came?

Don't forget be in a hurry that the rate of crime in the society today increasingly getting to the brim is from the missionaries.

it was simply a "development phase"

every civilisation goes through those things

remember witch hunt?

several countries burned humans suspected of witchcraft believing they were the cause of diseases and several plagues but those countries have left such practices behind and did you know the church was responsible for witch hunting?

The key thing here is that those countries developed "at their pace" which we didn't do

now almost all our youths see our own gods as wicked, no good gods, they can't see anything good about it because they've not been told anything good about it

there was a time I went to Osun state for a "friend like a brother's" wedding, the wedding took place at Ife City hall which isn't far away from the royal palace, I decided to pay a visit to the palace and was given a tour of it, our guide told us several stories of the Yoruba tradition and belief

one thing that caught my eye however was "Esu"

I realised Esu is NOT devil or Satan or Lucifer

he told me who Esu is and how an alleged simple mistranslation by Samuel Ajayi Crowther lead to Esu being called satan

A nairalander has a thread on that https://www.nairaland.com/2727789/esu-not-satan

http://ooduarere.com/naija-gist/religion/esu-not-satan-bible-divine-messenger-esu-odara-esu-lanlu-ogirioko/#sthash.io5Lo11L.dpbs

http://farinadeolokun.com/enter-ile-ifa/esu-elegbara-sacred-child-of-heaven/

What you said is true but this religious people would never listen. It's like a coping mechanism for them. There's a thread that is talking about an alleged end time trumpet. It was a hoax by a popular YouTube but would they listen no
They'd rather go and be looking for miracles upandan from alleged "prophets of God"
Meanwhile in the real world other countries would have left planet earth and gone to colonise Europa Jupiter's moon or a planet in a distinct galaxy. This prophets would also follow them there using the money they have made from Nigerians. They would be left on earth to face the harsh conditions climate change has caused the would be detrimental to survival that they were indiffewnt to or was dismissed as a lie that plans to bring about the "new world order" But hey they've always wanted a rapture right

That's a good question from a rationalist!
As regarding our traditional ways and styles, we should always think of modification and development! Many a profession, system, process and belief are equally subject to development. The ill-starred ideology of seeing foreign religion as the best, is actually the reason why our ancestors allowed evil to befall us... With the massive acceptance of this ROARING NOISE (Christianity and Islam), our country should have wore a new look! What's the evidence to prove the assertion that foreign God is omniscience, omnipresent and omnipotent? During the days when there was no gap between us and our ancestral God, there was no corruption, bribing and other negative attitudes that are presently dragging the nation's integrity to mud... My people, let's open our eyes and questions some obvious facts. Thanks!

Greetings, you stated, "We have totally lost the sense of who we are - our identity, value, and essence." The African Way of life my friend has the same response and challenge as all human lifestyles on the planet, of course, some more dramatic than others, but this institution called religion is in fact changing the human experience. The challenge I set forth today, in my studies of the similarities of religious facts, is not in the doctrine of information that can be proven, but in fact not able to prove. Meaning, all religions do have a spiritual aspect to them, separate of that of fact finding, hidden knowledge and twisting of doctrines. The spiritual aspect of them all tend to suggest the same inner workings of the individual practicing the art, if I may use this term. As a Christian taught individual, the information provided to us is very confusing and quite simply various, even though the information suppose to come from the same Bible. Other major religions have this same effect. I have yet to find a major religion that have one solid doctrine. However, like Christianity, the art of the spiritual experience all require a separation from physical attachments to an attachment to spiritual growth. Words expressed in this spiritual matter also changes, like the Christian word faith. Most Christians will tell you that faith is related to believing, that is similar to school, learning that 1 plus 1 equals 2, but adding a spiritual aspect to it, faith is based in hearing. This inner working of major religions is not supported by things or stuff, but it provides the truth of the inner identity, value and essence of an individual, a community, a people and a nation, which can not be proven, but seen. If you understand my challenge, then you understand that I hope we have totally lost our sense of who are, and I hope we can learn to become the true nature of our inner being.

lol, please read more on what happened before foreign religion came, And if the African gods are true gods why will they allow foreigners in human nature to preach to people of their own God?....if you never no, go and do much study on how the forefathers wage war between their self for positions and land before the foreigners came., which is still happening in the political system....

you having the ability to read and write was due to this foreigners.... sorry something is wrong somewhere deeper that what human ability can fathom.

Gboyee4fun:

How can the revealed truth I bring be compared with RELIGION?
The definition of religion is WORSHIP A GOD AND DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU TO DO, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD.
This universal law is USE YOUR BRAIN, WORSHIP NO god and DO GOOD TO ALL HUMANITY.
