Christianity was never part of our culture to begin with!

Jesse01:
and Christianity is not destroying African (Nigerian )culture?

HigherEd:

What do you know about African shrines and paganism. Because some missionaries have fought the fight, you simply don't how dark African religion was. This blood sucking religions took the life of many in form of sacrifices. But if you are such an advocate for African religion why don't you visit Atan Ogun state at 12 midnight. I am not sure they've found someone to sacrifice for their dead king. When you get there and the Oro people are about disloding your head from ur body you would realise how beautiful African religion are.

HigherEd:

Stfu how easy do you think it's for a deeper life member from South East to hate Yorubas when his own general overseer is a Yoruba man.

The only connecting dot between an Igbo and a Yoruba is Christianity. If not for Christianity which sort of aligned cultural beliefs it would be virtually difficult for yorubas to do anything with Igbos.

90% of my friends from the East I met on the platform of the church so don't come here saying rubbish about what you know little about.

African cultures is what has infected christianity negatively.
The only effect of christianity on African culture which i don't see it as a negative effect is how christians are now conditioned to prefer white man dressing of suit and tie over the local agbada and buba and wrapper, ankara, kaftan, or the Igbo traditional attire.
I think it is largely due to colonization not just only christianity.

I must say, christianity has played a better role in uniting the nigerian tribes and cultures but the wrong values and beliefs of African cultures(not the good ones) have not complicated the good values and morals found in the bible. That is the biggest problem of Africa today

Jesse01:
by making it look like our culture is evil, (like it was sent from the devil )while Christianity seems like it was sent from above.

It's destorying our culture,kids this days can not even tell u about our culture, but
Can tell u the whole bible stroies from Genesis to revelation
Is that not disturbing to u?

Abagworo:
Rather Christianity and Abrahamic religions destroyed African culture.

Horus:
Give them back their jesus and return to your ancestors.

Accepting an imported Alien Religion has killed our peoples minds!

yeyerolling:
What the elders see sitting the youth cant see from a tree------ dumbest shit ever. Our culture is the main reason we are under developed

PAGAN9JA:


fvck christianity. we will eradicate it from our Nigeria and restore the faith of our forefathers.

AreaFada2:
Africans with inferiority complex. Japanese & Chinese have less than 1% Christian population. They didn't have to give up their culture to make bullet trains and the electronics you all enjoy. They allowed it to evolve.

Is is African culture that make many pastors Bleep both married and unmarried church members? In our culture we have taboos against many atrocities now going on everywhere. He should explain how African culture instructed the Reverend Professor to use sex for marks.

Make the man park well. He should just quietly enjoy his sheeples' money.

first of all, the period the Christianity marketer known as (missionary) fought the fight with africans was our primitive period when superstition was the order of the day, yet this period is characterized by growth and Renaissance., even if the so call Christianity marketer did not come, we will have easily reach enlightenment on our own. yet the so call church of Christ today are still embroidered with superstition,let me honor with some of them that sill practiced today, but we pagan has decided to be tolerant about it instead of fighting it. ( superstition 1)During a Christian service a wafer is turned into the body of ‘God’/Jesus and this Archbishop believes he is eating the body of Jesus!! To the objective observer that is 'cannibalism' – a Christian ritual based on Pagan beliefs. this can be found mostly among the Catholics and Anglican. with few Pentecostal.(superstition 2)Wine is turned into the ‘blood of God/Jesus’ – and this Christian thinks he is drinking the blood of Jesus/God during the service, also it mostly common among the Catholics.(superstition 3) Pouring water over your head in Baptism removes ‘original sin’ (Information from the other-side informs us that is absolute nonsense!)this cut across every church. (superstition 4) You confess your ‘sins’ ( which is taken from a Roman pre-Christian era ritual) to a priest or independently. ALL your ‘sins will forever be forgiven’. Information from the other side tells us that’s absolute nonsense because no one can modify the Law of Cause and Effect. this cut across all churches.(superstition 5) even if you are like Hitler and manage to say you are very sorry for your sins before you die, you will go to heaven! all this cut across all church. this are just some few. you can see in this case African paganism needs to spread his gospel but we decide to remain tolerance to allow peace to reign. YOU SEE HOW DARK CHRISTIANITY RELIGION IS? AND PLEASE GIVE ME THE CONFIRMATION DETAILS OF ANY SHRINE STILL USING HUMAN AS SACRIFICE. I WILL TAKE IT UP MY SELF I PROMISE.

Every culture was not destined to achieve thesame result. Not one that hated innovation .

Guidette:
Damn! The replies on this thread gives me so much life and hope for my African people. Seems like a lot of people have stopped drinking the white man's koolaid and are breaking free from the shackles of mental slavery.

@hopefulLandlord, Jesse01, Horus
Y'all make me so proud... love you guys so much. Keep enlightening the sheeple my dear brothers.

princfred:
Every culture was not destined to bring the same result of development. E.g the African culture which abhors innovation but insists on things being done the way it has always been done without question or

PAGAN9JA:



Whats there to think? Its obvious. More than half of our ancestors culture and spiritual knowledge has been systemmatically destroyrd by these parasites.

hopefulLandlord:


Like destroying shrines and persecuting pagans? yeah

Chi59:
So, in other words, what this pastor is trying to say is that respect killed both crew and passengers on board.
Chai! Too much of anything is not good. Too much respect killed everyone on board the plane.

superhumanist:



You and the pastor are flat out wrong. Christianity is destroying our culture.

1. Nigerians bearing Christian names like "Hezekiah", "Matthew" etc

2. Christians claiming that some tribal dresses are not decent for their church.

3. Worshipping a white Jesus. Jesus is more likely to be dark skinned.

4. Saying that our traditional religions are demonic

5. Prosperity gospel

quincee88:
YOU ARE INDEED A CONFUSED ANIMAL

hopefulLandlord:


Whatever way Christianity is helping to foster unity can still be done without it but I see sense in what you're saying

paxonel:
I'm just talking objectively, I never mentioned any pastor
how is this affecting African culture?
example of such tribal dress?
out of point! We are talking about culture, not skin colour
there are no scriptural proofs for this belief! It is not from the bible.

Even orunmila worshipers were long referring to ogun worshippers as demonic before white men brought christianity, so it's African thing, not christianity. If you see christians having this kinda beliefs it is influenced by African culture.
out of point too

AreaFada2:

I do not know which lack of innovation you mean. Without Western universities to teach chemistry or metallurgy Benin, Owo, Ife, NOK culture, Igbo Ukwu and others were making excellent metal works comparable to those made in the West.

We developed religious beliefs that acknowledged Oghene-Osa, Eledumare, Chukwu as supreme God. We had no Biblical old testament to copy from.

We developed both Republican and monarchical systems of govt independently. We had our own lunar calendar. All developed before Oyinbo came. African culture was always dynamic. Not static.

In fact our innovation only stopped when Oyinbo came. We became "copiers" of other people's culture. Europeans on one hand, Arabs on the other.

Your submission has no historical or factual basis to support it. Self-loathing is one thing. Fact is another.

No culture is laid back. evolution is constant.
