10 Signs You Are Suffering From Colonial Mentality by omonnakoda: 11:06am On Jul 26, 2015
1. When you get into arguments with Ghanaians You abuse them by calling them "black". You make fun of Ghanaians or others criticizing their English
2. You worship Foreign gods like Jesus ,Mohammed etc or engage on religious pilgrimmages outside Africa
3. You judge people by their command of English
4. You cannot read or write in your language and do not speak it often or proficiently and value English more.If you had to learn another language you would rather learn French or any non-African language
5. You bleach your skin
6. You perm your hair or use Brazilian hair
7. You believe African clothes are not good enough for work and that a suit is moore appropriate
8.You look outside Africa for validation so things like Nobel Prizes,Grammy Awards,Oscars CNN are considered authentic and conferring a stamp of superiority. If CNN or BBC or CNBC say it it must be right when in dispute with an African source
9. You believe blacks are inferior to whites and whilst you would deny this vigorous the facts refute this eg you think it is odd or not right for white people to suffer in Africa doing things like taking okada etc and would consider that to be "news".
10. You place travelling to Europe or America as the ultimate goal in life that is even worth dying for

This is a fallacious believe, I'm an African and respect that but about my faith forget it it not about colour but spirituality.

You are ignorant and colonized totally that is why you believe that Ifa has anything to do with Human rituals. Let me remind you that it was the Christian orthodoxy that Black Africans did not have souls and so it was okay to take them as slaves to Americas. A similar attitude existed among Arabs who took thousands of black Africans as slaves ,castrating young boys into eunuchs so they could be placed in charge of their harems of women. These external religions have been used as tools of colonization and are no more valid than anything Ifa teaches but Christians and Muslims have been trained to believe they were animals until these religions were brought to them. They are human creations
