Ajayi Crowther - The Colonial Tool That Caused The Mental Enslavement Of Nigeria by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:51pm On Jan 10, 2018 |
Samuel Ajayi Crowther’s character is no different from that of boxer in George Orwell’s book titled ‘animal farm’. Although usually seen as a hero, Ajayi Crowther was an ignorant man and white apologist that was used and dumped by the British to make headways into Yorubaland. He is no different from the mental slaves today who believe that the only foundation for good human existence in any context is that with the blue print of the west. According to Wole Soyinka, ‘There is nothing to choose ultimately between the colonial mentality of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, West Africa's first black bishop, who groveled before his white missionary superiors ... and the new black ideologues who are embarrassed" by African traditions. Both suffer from externally induced fantasies of redemptive transformation in the image of alien masters.’ In the 1800’s the British wanted to put an end to slavery, not because they had compassion towards Africans but because they wanted to migrate to Africa as imperialists. They needed to rebrand their image from slave raiders to friends in order to mingle with the people and make them comfortable with their presence in the prelude to colonialism of the continent. One of their important weapons of mental warfare is religion. Every empire building nation understood that the best way to mentally enslave a people is through a religion. This is why the Roman Catholic remained a powerful political center for unity long after the Roman Empire collapsed. Samuel Ajayi Crowther had a unique advantage at the time, not much people had a good mastery of language and translations. He translated the Bible from English to Yoruba and through such means, he distorted many versions of Yoruba history in context. One example was the translation of esu to devil. The biblical version of devil did not exist in Yoruba culture, there was nothing to compare to the devil, so he picked a deity called Esu, god of the crossroads and translated him to be devil. Esu does not have hell, he never betrayed loyalty to Eledumare and never at any time led a rebellion of a fraction of heavenly hosts in a coup against Eledumare. This was all the imagination of an African bishop on the payroll of his masters from the west. Ajayi Crowther as the face of their religion at the time and worked hard to convert many of his native kinsmen to the British version of Christianity. It was Ajayi Crother who pioneered the Anglican mission in Onitsha and Lokoja. As a bishop, he groomed 10 native priests to help him in his religious mission. After he had successfully built a strong Anglican base, the white priests decided they had no need of him again insisting that Ajayi Crowther and his priests were intellectually inferior and unqualified for the posts they had. The first thing they did was to take the Niger mission treasury from his control, they would eventually dismiss all the priests that worked with him to build the missions and ultimately forced him to resign out of frustration in 1890. He spent the few months after his resignation as a broken man and died of stroke shortly after (1891) in Lagos. From Ifatola Akiwumi 15 Likes 5 Shares

Ajayi Crowther wrote The Yoruba Bible directly from The Hebrew Scroll. There is no difference in the details between it and The KJV's version. Esu is Devil, the dominating evil spirit(EMI-ESU) on Earth. God has Spirits and Angels for Righteousness. He has other spirits and Demoms for Selfishness. SAC represents all these adequately well in Yoruba Bibeli. There are Emi, Angeli, Mimo, Esu, Alaroye etc. Please ask Babalawos on Nairaland for others. Just admit you don't know the Bible and stop quarrelling with SAC who is probably sitting right now at the Court of Grace with God. 4 Likes |

[quote author=atiku2019manager post=64082848] guy forget that gist. African wouldn't have develop any poo. look at the north for example the amajiri[/quote the world was ravaged by the whites ,which made them in turn incredibly wealthy and enabled them to develop high technology,the world is now totally controlled by western system,and development is rated by western standards,we only see development based on western standard and system,who knows if we lacking development in other areas like spiritually or otherwise,but we only rate development through technology which is western based,the west forced the world into their own system,we now only judge things from the western perspective and we think its the ultimate,have asked your self about stories we hear of legends,their ability to communicate with gods and other things we find strange and impossible today,who knows how africa would have been spiritually now,mayb we would have even been able to fly without planes now,remember the supposed magic of ancient times was just in its infancy,but we are all into western systems today and think its the ultimate ,the situation with the north is because they did not integrate with the western system at the same time neglected their own,now the are stuck in time,and remember the west would have not gotten to this height if they did not plunder the world,their plundering enabled them to accelerate too fast ,vastly overtaking other regions thats why it looks like other regions are so backward eg the almajiri |

PAGAN9JA: He was a sodomite pedophile despite his Yoruba ancestry. Taken in as a young boy used and sexually abused by Catholic Priests who sodomized him and transferred over to him the demons of sodomy. This is real talk. Demons are real. Yoruba traditions teach us that demons are real. Ifa teaches it. Catholic Priests perform exorcisms on people infested with demons. This is all believable that many Africans taken in and touched by these demonic priests become sodomites and pedophiles too! Sodomites and Pedophiles are the demons of this world and Sam was a demon who spent his entire life trying to destroy his own Yoruba culture. So what he died brokenhearted that he didn't get to fill the positions that he spent his life building and the material comfort him and other agents among Yorubas working with him. Sam built an installations for those pedophile White Catholic priests who couldn't speak Yoruba, didn't know the culture and traditions and couldn't blend in with Yorubas to trick them into worshiping this demon Jesus Christ of theirs. Must I spell out this out to any of you? 1 Share

boringnigerian: The Muslim Arabs are heavily homosexual pedophiles, they have dancing boys, that is Bachi Boyz, 9-11 year boys selected by big time lords to dance dressed as women with make up on. The boys are later on raped at the end of the dancing festival. They are shamed and ostracized by their families. Everyone of them agents that work with Whites and Arabs must partake in sodomy to prove their loyalty. I use this same fact to analyze any sell out that has appeared in our history, this is indisputable truth, that sodomites and pedophiles are the demons of this world. You can't be a sodomite and not be demonic, they love treachery, they love lies, they love lavish lifestyle, they love to promote those Abrahamic faiths because they allow for sodomy to be overlooked as simple sin. Sodomy is not sin but abomination. www.theriseofsodom..com 1 Share
