Why should An African go on Pilgrimage to foreign lands? why should African muslims go on pilgrimage to mecca? Why should African christians go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem? I'll address this with to points: 1. We know that its a muslim tradition which was part of the tradition of the ancient pre-islam Arabs to walk round the kabba and pray to their gods. each person praying to his personal god from the 360gods the kabba was dedicated to. In today's Islam, Muslims pray to allah one of the 360gods of the kabba. The other gods are ignored. But why should a non-arab go on pilgrimage for an arab god? allah and other 359gods are arab gods. As a yoruba you have sango, Orunmila, ogun, Osun etc to go on pilgrimage for, not An Arab god. There is a big community in Ile-Ife dedicated to all Orisha, walk into the area and pray to the gods of your ancestors. Why should u ignore Olodumare and any God ur family progenitor worshipped for allah? Are u Arab? 2. pilgrimage is not even part of Christian traditions, African(Nigerian) Christians are just copying the muslims. The head location for christianity is The Vatican City in Italy and Not jerusalem. That is not where christianity started but thats where it ended and was revived again by the Romans. They made some modifications and began to preach with Soldiers. If not for the Vatican City and The Roman heads Christianity could have ended and we wouldnt hear about it today just like No one hears of sabbateans. Jerusalem is not a Christian city, its a jewish City and the people there practices Judaism. Why is a Judaic location, the christian pilgrimage site? Christians woud say it because Jesus lived, preached and died there. Jesus himself was not a Christian (funny right?) He was A JEW. His apostles made the religion and it wasnt even wat it is now, You have no idea wat they Romans have done. But the blame goes to the Apostles because they were the ones that elevated a false messiah. When Christianity finally took hold in major places of the world, pilgrimage wasnt a thing of discussion. or can any Bible fanatic christian tell me where in the bible non-Jews are suppose to go back to jerusalem. there Bible talks about the return of the lost sheep of Israel but is A yorubaman a lost sheep of Israel? Why should You now be trooping to Israel on Pilgrimage? 1 Like |

The Europeans who brought Christianity came with an hidden agenda, They came as Christians stealing our resources and by the more organized and more advanced technology won vital battles against Africans. Many live were lost, and many were taken as slaves on ships to Europe and America. Missionaries began to threaten our people with "hell" told them that our ancestors were demon worshipers who would burn in hell and so would we if we continue with Our religion. Why did they do this? Was it truly because they were devote Christians who loved Africans and wanted to bring salvation and heaven to Africa? Didn't we already have our own salvation? Is it only Europeans and Jews dat know God? Does this mean that our forefathers were not for God? In christianity, being a pagan is being evil, being a muslim is being against the word of God. Jesus is the one and only way to heaven and only faith in him can open the gates of heaven. In Nigeria today, all those who are pagans are mocked and abused for living in evil because they have refused to dump their God and embrace Jesus as their God. Wat is the problem with being a pagan? Is it not because of the mystery of God we all are in a religion/spirituality? If ur understanding of God is different from mine, why should u prosecute me? Pagans are glorious children of the land, because our fathers fought with their blood for this land and we worship the God that made it possible for our ancestors to actually be our ancestors. Why are people saying paganism is a path to hell? Abraham worshipped a pagan God, so did Isaac and Jacob. it wasn't until Moses that paganism ended for the Hebrews. I won't explain this now but maybe another post Is this not brainwash and mental slavery to reject ur identity and lose pride in ur ancestors just because some white men tell you things(lies). They preach a heaven that is filled with white God, white Jesus and white angels. In our own African religions, Dark-skinned Gods, Dark-skinned angels and the whites are those with abnormalities. Even these white men who brought u christianity are dumping christianity since it has nothing more to offer them, they used it to get wat they wanted from Africa and now it's becoming useless. |
