Africans May Never Recover From This Blow by Nobody: 2:28pm On Dec 28, 2018 |
Folk, did you know that BLACKS once ruled the world ? They created empires and kingdoms, built cities and towns and established trade thousands of years before they came into contact with the European Man. They indeed had their own indigenous religion , advanced cultures and well structured societies.They farmed the land and herded cattle for millennia , mined for gold and precious metal and traded with neighbours for other goods and services. The black man was also a mighty hunter, great warrior - fearless , bold yet humble , kind and forbearing. It was this kind and forbearing trait of the black man, coupled with ignorance that enabled him surrender his birthright to foreigners. Foreigners who introduced their gods into Africa culture and completely overthrew the black mans way of living, destroyed the foundation of his culture, language , and called his religion a death cult. Ever since these religions came to Africa , the black man keeps turning the left and right cheek for more hot slaps from Arab and white men , to the point that his societies are dysfunctional , chaotic and totally void of true morals. There is mayhem in black Africa from Mauritania to Sudan and all the way down to South Africa. Africans have been battered by the people of God with their Islamic and Christian gods; The black man has been enslaved, colonised and still today is a victim of neoliberal economic policy , which unfairly balances trade in favour of western countries to the detriment of the black man's well being. Besides , Islam and Christianity have brought us more division as if tribalism was not enough, caused terrible wars that have led to the death of millions upon millions, left behind seeds of hate and paranoia , and created a system of dependency that is not easily broken. Once upon a time, the African man was one with nature, tending to his environment and taking care of both human and beast. Today the African man is against nature, destroying both human and beast. Some people say that if the white man had not come to Africa we would still be primitive savages worshipping idols. I say this is FALSE. This is the black man yet again looking down on his own culture as inferior and therefore always playing the second fiddle to his superiors. If we are ever going to move forward, we have to purge our land from these foreign religions and start again to build what we have destroyed. The ancestors are crying. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Before the Europeans and Arabs came with their religions, there was nothing like sexual perversion in African culture. Women were bare breasted and yet the cases of rape and infidelity were very low. Women married early , bore children and multiplied the black family while the man worked hard to earn a living for his family as well as providing protection. There was nothing like women waiting till their late 20s or 30s to get married or men marrying at 40 or 50 years of age. It was only after the introduction of these religions that the African mind became polluted with sexual deviance and all manner of sexual exploitation. Women started to marry later and the incidence of sexual perversion rapidly multiplied. Why is it that a religion that professes to be superior has managed to introduce a lower moral standard into a culture that once practiced higher morals with high respect for the female ? 9 Likes 1 Share |

Revelation 17 King James Version (KJV) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great LovePeddler that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the LovePeddler sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH THOU SAWEST UPON THE BEAST, THESE SHALL HATE THE LovePeddler, AND SHALL MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. |

Revelation 18 King James Version (KJV)
And after these things I saw another
angel come down from heaven, having great
power; and the earth was lightened with his
glory.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, BABYLON THE GREAT IS FALLEN, is fallen,
AND IS BECOME THE HABITATION OF DEVILS, and
the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of
the earth have committed fornication with
her, and the merchants of the earth are
waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye
be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and
double unto her double according to her
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to
her double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and
sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I
sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see
no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one
day, death, and mourning, and famine; and
she shall be utterly burned with fire: for
strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously
with her, shall bewail her, and lament for
her, when they shall see the smoke of her
burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her
torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city
Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is
thy judgment come.
And the merchants of the earth shall
weep and mourn over her; for no man
buyeth their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine
linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and
all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of
ivory, and all manner vessels of most
precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and
marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and
ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and
oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts,
and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
slaves, and souls of men.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee, and all things which
were dainty and goodly are departed from
thee, and thou shalt find them no more at
all.
THE MERCHANTS OF THESE THINGS, WHICH
WERE MADE RICH BY HER, shall stand afar off
for the fear of her torment, weeping and
wailing,
And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that
was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and
scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious
stones, and pearls!
For in one hour so great riches is come
to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the
company in ships, and sailors, and as many
as trade by sea, stood afar off,
And cried when they saw the smoke of
her burning, saying, What city is like unto
this great city!
And they cast dust on their heads, and
cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas
that great city, wherein were made rich all
that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made
desolate.
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath
avenged you on her.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a
great millstone, and cast it into the sea,
saying, Thus with violence shall that great
city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be
found no more at all.
And the voice of harpers, and musicians,
and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard
no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any
more in thee; and the sound of a millstone
shall be heard no more at all in thee;
And the light of a candle shall shine no
more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard
no more at all in thee: for thy merchants
were the great men of the earth; for by thy
sorceries were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of
prophets, and of saints, and of all that were
slain upon the earth. |

OpenYourEyes1: Nothing wrong with learning a new language or borrowing a few good things from other cultures. But replacing your culture entirely with another mans culture is stupidity of the highest order. Many African children cannot even speak their languages , have totally forgotten their culture in favour of another one and in the next 100 years the black man will be living another mans life and speaking his language. I am not an atheist by the way. And what filthy idols are we talking about. You are worshipping a trinity pagan idol , bowing before a Pagan cross and basing your life on myth; You are also an idol worshipper 13 Likes 1 Share |

kiddoiLL: I suspect that you only managed to leave school with a half baked education hence your inability to understand the main driving point of the article. The fact is that the proliferation of your churches has in no way bettered society , rather it has submerged the people into a more advanced form of superstition , encouraged moral decadence and facilitated the widespread discrimination of all those who do not hold to its point of view. Your crooked men of gog continue to deceive the people , keeping them in ignorance and stymieing their innate ability to go on to greater things in this life. Tell me why Africa is still so backward in comparison to the rest of the world and why moral standards are falling very fast despite the thousands of churches scattered across the continent.

And India adopted immensely from Britain, its coloniser! The only thing they have not completely abandoned is their language, though all of them have adopted European modes of writing to some extent or the other. No nation prospers if it continues in its own ways and refuses to adopt better ways of doing things. Beside this glorious past you speak of Africa having is a myth!

I hate it when people erroneously state that Africans are backward because it is not a fact.The correct thing to say is that most African countries are under-developed.There are many or rather millions/billions of Africans that are completely progressive in every sense of that word.Almost all of the so-called near-perfect countries, which don't really exist,have benefitted from the input of their citizens of African descent in all areas including education, economics, science, etc.It is also stupid to state that Africans should stick to what is not entirely beneficial to them because in this age no set of people progress by just rejecting things.They progress by working as a united,efficient and super-informed team and religion shouldn't allowed be allowed to cause unnecessary divisions.People of other races and continents practice different religions yet some find a way to improve their states while some don't. Syria is usually mentioned for negative reasons despite their unwillingness to be generally identified with any other religion than Islam.The U.S becomes more liberal as the day goes by when it comes to what the society accepts but it is still 'near-perfect' to some people. Africans in Africa should stop making stupid comparisons and start doing the needful which involves a lot,and not just religion. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kiddoiLL: Good, we can meet at this middle point, which is that Africa does indeed have a problem and is backward compared to the rest of the world and the question is why ? In the west , religion has been declining but is now declining at an even accelerated pace. It was only when Europe let go of religious myth and superstition that science was able to make mighty inroads over just a few 100 years , in comparison to the millennia prior. Similarly it is only when Africa begins to utilise their natural resource ( brain No 1 ) without falling back on primitive ideas that it can begin to formulate an African brand of civilisation that measures up with the rest of the world. So instead of screaming fire fire in church round the clock and attributing all maladies to the devil , it is about time we stood up as a people and do something about our plight and get rid of all this religious nonsense that is holding us back. 3 Likes |

frosbel2:China was heathen, pagan worshippers just like we Africans used to be. Over time they adopted Buddhism via Japan and India, where it began! Mao eventually imposed European communism on them, and now they are adopting capitalism! Thailand today is heavily influenced by Buddhism! It did not originate there so is foreign to them! They too were pagans before it's arrival. Saudi Arabia and Qatar did not even exist in antiquity, having been formed in the 1930s from Arabia that was uniformed by Muhammed in the 8th century, when he imposed Islam, which he borrowed, on them! Please make sure you at least read wiki if not a proper history book before you respond any further The nations you've mentioned were all undeveloped until they adopted superior foreign ideas! |
