Your Own Gods. [Update] by HappyPagan: 5:57pm On Oct 28, 2019
your own na 'g'
Their own na "G"
allah and yaweh
na dem be your Gee's
the one wey resemble you
na apology

na so dem teach you
na wetin you sabi
all their heroes na your hero
wetin dem trow way chop,
na im you like
wetin you sabi
na fasting, and prayer

if prayer na email,
god spam for don full with naija people prayer.
"god this god that"
na we carry supernatural,
to keep bulb on 24 hours pass our sabi

prayer fit move mountain
but e no fit charge phone

chai no light o,
i cover my transformer with the blood of Jesus,
fresh anointing to release volts from zion
na darkness you go dey



small headache worry you,
wey that olive oil,
drink am one, drink am two,
quote 3 John 2



Fear don full all una body,
everything na winch and satan,
everything na supernatural,
everything na super-you


all your head na Bible, adam and eve
wetin be your story, you no sabi
all their david, solomon, and moses
na wetin you carry, na wetin you sabi




The Nigerian was so properly colonized, he can only define God through the narrow lens of the Quran and the Bible - the Jewish and Arabic perspective of a Cosmic Creator.


His Gods were vanquished, deleted, destroyed. The followers died, leaving behind the nasty tales Christianity told of them. Broken, without a God, the mind searches for an internal guide, a compass to lead him through his solo sojourn on this planet Earth.

Lost and broken, he runs into the arms of Jesus. He is grateful, to be adopted, to be given permission to sit at the Master's feet.

'All that is around you, I made. Never touch the good Works of the Lord.'
And so he goes about always reverencing, never questioning, always following, never leading - the world of ideas see no lasting contribution for him.

You'd see him gather where there is garri, where things are cheap and accessible, where life's rules require little mental input. His brain is not right, for it's filled with old ideas from over two thousand years ago.

Old ideas about Egypt, Israel, the Middle East. Old ideas about culture, religion and myth. He follows the traditions of the Israelites who walked in the wilderness of Asia eons back - for he can not live without their myths.

While other nations invest in knowledge and education, he sees no need for that. He's fine, he's safe, in heaven, everyone will be equal.


And the church said, Amen.

The truth is, for we to actually rise above the foreigners that enslaved us, we have to let go of the past.

We must forget whatever happened years ago, centuries ago and focus on the future.
It is true they say we cannot build a future without knowing our past but Africans have dwelled on and in the past for so long that we forget that there is a future that needs to be built.

When I mean the past I mean all of it, who we were, what was done to us, what was destroyed and what was stolen.

The way forward is afro-futurism

Afro futurism is the a future of science and technology, arts and culture, architecture and religion all seen through the original and untainted African man's eye.

Imagine how ancient Egypt, Oyo empire, Bini empire, Carthage, or Songhai would have been in the 21st century without, colonization or destruction

It is the blending and intersection of modern day science and technology with the original African culture
