"When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible." said Jomo Kenyatta.
What do u think? Do u agree with him words?

And it came to pass that the missionaries did produce pastors, evangelists, prophets and teachers. These taught us how to live with our eyes closed. When we ever get to open them, they would have had our land, our money and our souls. Unfortunately neither they nor us have the bible

Nigerians would generally beg to differ because they believe the arrival of christianity to their shores is the best thing to have happened to them since their ancestors set foot on this planet. The House 'nigger'(borrowing Malcolm X's terminology) has taken over from them and is currently raping and plundering his own people, deceiving them to rely on God for everything including fixing their economy. Closing down major highways and gathering riches in the midst of poverty while the followers shout halleluyah!

When the missionairies arrived if they had carried the Quran instead of the Bible then Nigeria would've been a muslim country.

That would have been the worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria. Christianity or the missionaries leaves a little for the people, Islam destroys everything and replaces it with Arabic culture of violence. The only good thing about Nigeria is that Nigeria is not a Muslim country, other we would have been like Sudan now.

Okay everybody, do you think the cons of the arrival of christianity outweigh the cons, and why?

GO AND ASK THE ETHIOPIANS WHEN THEY HEARD OF CHRISTIANITY AND HOW COME NO NATIONS EVER COLONIZED THEM ?

JUST TO HELP YOU PHILIP PREACHED TO THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH AND NO ACCOUNT OF THE EUNUCH WAS GIVEN IN THE BIBLE BUT GO TO ETHIOPIA AND LOOK AT THE EMBLEMS OF CHRIST BATTLES.

THE FACT WAS THAT JESUS WAS NOT SPREAD IN THE WHOLE OF AFRICA.

The reality is there is a psychological problem with Nigerian citizens which stems from religion and the manipulation of history and rejection of universal laws and the right actions based on those laws.Christianity is a negative force to Nigerian and Africans, not the Bible, but Christianity they are two different things. What happens is the white Jesus character is positioned as a saviour in the minds of Africans. Unlike the west nearly all Africans in Africa don’t know the full mentality of Caucasians in the west. Without studying the diversity in Caucasian nature, and often with the white Jesus being the only non-black face seen in thousands of villages throughout Africa , a god complex occurs. A belief system that ties a certain race or individual closer to god (God Complex). Millions of Africans believe Caucasians are their saviours through Jesus so they do not get up to change their own lives. The corrupt political leaders of Africa use 2nd and 3rd Reich tactics to maintain control ,because this is all they have learnt from alternative Caucasian history on how to govern. They could only see this as an alternative way of managing a country without introducing liberalism, which in their eyes would lead to the eventual loss of ethical morality. They continually implement Caucasian economic and religious ideology in to Africa,which is not in line with the nature of the African, therefore it will never work.
