Most of us went astray without knowing and we paid(and some are still) dearly for it.
The bible is a good book originally meant and written for present and future israelites with an intention.
As a result of the increase in understanding and the resulting diversification of cultures,languages,politics,goverments,technology,commerce,religions,etc and later the colonisation of Africa by the western world, the bible was introduced to us.
But we forgot one thing:we were once a people governed by our own internally designed laws within an organised society.Secondly,we recognised and we believe in the presence of a supernatural being(God) within our society which is manifested in various forms in our culture.
Historically speaking,the Israelites on various occasion left their own traditional ways and religion and practiced foreign religions which they have little or no knowledge about and they were purnished for it untill they revert to their native law and custom and religion.
In a sense i seem to believe that our present 'problems' is not economic(corruption) or political as widely advertised daily in the various screamy headlines in nigerian newspapers,but because we have unknowingly left our natural ways which God gave us(NOT CHURCH) and right now we are confused because we are practising(FOREIGN RELIGIONS) which we KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
Unfortunately,it may take us a corresponding number of years we've spent practising foreign religion to recover even if we decide we have sinned and want to go back to our original ways.
