And that's coming from a half. grin

Still holding on as an equal partner in White Supremacy and always coming up with the shorter half. grin

Might as well give up your balls up and put your desires in check, if being free isn't apart your plans. Desires control Niggers and make them half blooded princes, nothing like the Princes of old.

I wonder if you have any historical sense, Africa used to be more homosexual than any group of people in this world most of the evidences have been erased, have you heard of Hausa animism? there's one thing the Torah Bible and Qur'an have in common they are all against homosexuality all pagans support homosexuality the native americans were practicing it what of Egypt with the oldest homosexual record I see you're rubbish post all over the place nonsense

Igboland didn't harbor homosexuals in the ancient times. Be guided

Homosexuality is old and ancient as the tool of demons to infest and possess mankind.

LIAR. Ajayi crowther we know. Abeg who are you or that ifatola fellow? Don't distort history abeg. Crowther and his grandson herbert macaulay helped early nigeria in no small measure. You should be grateful to them, rather than denigrate their memory.

Kindly state how they "helped early Nigeria in no small measure"

PAGAN9JA:
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.

Thanks for the post. I recently read a very negative article about the Eleko and Lagos royals around the 1800s that heaped praises on Crowther despite the author's admitted knowledge of Crowther's repeated collusion with the English and their clandestine efforts to destroy the Lagos king in order to take over the teritory completely and continue their inroad into total control and colonisation of Nigerian and western area of Africa. The British followed the same modus operandi they had in all of Africa. We survived them and we will one day shake of their shackles of imperialism and neo-colonisation. Unfortunately, most of our people are blind, mentally.

Someone was arguing on Facebook that he may not have been Nigerian. How true is that?
Re: Ajayi Crowther - The Colonial Tool That Caused The Mental Enslavement Of Nigeria by nlPoster: 9:50pm On Oct 26, 2019
He's Nigerian, someone made the same argument on nairaland I think. Seems because Nigeria had not been legally formed at the time, some folks are arguing that means he wasn't Nigerian.

He's Nigerian.

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.



Thanks for this bu. Please see the correlation relationship analysis below:-

Names. Tribes
Jesus. Christains.
Jacob. Israeli.
ODUDUWA. Yorubas.

ODUDUWA is a Nephilim Son of Olodumare. In the same fashion as Jesus and Jacob who inhabited Christains and Israeli respectfully in them, God correlated Yorubas 100 percent with ODUDUWA.

Angels of God exclusively spread these Names and Tribes on Earth themselves.

cc: Prof. Akintoye, FFK, Ooni, Alafin.
Above f.y.i. Your Excellencies. YORUBA isn't derisive. It's a Tribal Description of ODUDUWA, a Nephilim of OLODUMARE (GOD) Himself.
