InvertedHammer: Chairman, you can thank the wicked gods our forefathers served for inflicting us with self-hate. It’s the old gods our forefathers served that made us believe that it was ok for us as a race to sell our brothers to oyibo men or sacrifice human beings (just because we there are not related to us) just to gain small fortune or healing. In all the years our forefathers served these evil gods none had gave us the idea to form our own written language or stop us from naturally hating each other. I will not blame Christianity. There are Asian Christians in china and India and their race seems to be doing way better than the black race. Ethiopians are mainly Christians but they were still able to develop their own written language. This made them the only African country not to be colonized. I can go on and on about this but maybe another day. However imperfect Christianity may be it is a lot better than the old selfish wicked gods our forefathers served. 2 Likes |

irepnaija4eva: OK. When pagan Roman empire used modern military tech to destroy Jerusalem and destroy David's/Solomon's temple in 70AD, do you blame Judeo-Christian God for not stopping common pagan. When Muslim Moors overran Iberia and took much of France and Ottoman Turks took Constantinople from Christians turning it into Istanbul, do you ask about Christian God? When Napoleon conquered Egypt did you ask where Muslims' God was? Did that stop people trooping to Synagogues, churches and mosques till today? If you want excuses to rubbish African heritage, demonstrate inferiority complex and self-loathing, just do so clearly without citing a silly example. After all those events mentioned above happened well before 1897. If at all you know any history that is. 5 Likes |

babasolution: God bless you. People are so ignorant. In my place people suspected or caught trying to use spiritual powers to cause evil were seriously rebuked, exiled or fined and be used to swear ancestral/land deity, akin to "alale". Babalawos and such priests were essentially learned traditional practitioners who primarily helped to solve people's problems: ill health, misfortune, infertility, self & family protection against evil, etc. Nollywood gave people the impression that every stepmother or uncle is killing everyone out of envy or to claim land. Patience Ozokwor, Chiwetalu Agu & Kanayo O. Kanayo typical characters are what people now think African traditional worship is all about. |

Exactly, what beats me is the same Benin people joined the amalgamation that created Nigeria. After everything the British did, just goes to show Africans do not teach their history which is why they remain slaves up till date. The Benin empire was no small kingdom.

XaintJoel20:sure. I remember reading the drama book "Overanwen Nogbaisi" by Ola Rotimi. So insightful but a work of fiction conceived by true events. And so respect a character in the book "Obayuwana". Hope that great man has descendents. They should write a book about him. 1 Like |

codemaniacs: True.. unfortunately, Christianity is not one of them. I gave examples of other races that practice Christianity (aside Caucasians) and most are doing better than the black race.
False.... Some of the richest people/kings in Africa before the colonial era were barons in this trade. Pre-colonial Lagos/Eko was built on this trade before arrival of British troops. Google Oba kosko, Efunroye Tinubu just to name a few. Even the beloved Benin empire benefited heavily from this trade.
Not entirely true.... Amharic is the only indigenous African written language I know. unfortunately, we in W.Africa dont have any. I will be glad if you can mention any W.Africa written language if you know any.
Maybe not all.... but a good amount of them promote practices that lead to self hatred. 1 Like |
