Very good. Our tradition will never fade. The whites from Ireland deceived us to a great extent. We have not realised that what they brought to us are fictional characters.

Unfortunately you are wrong cause they are not fictional characters. It's like me saying a bit made this comment. We know bots exist and can to an extent differentiate both.

Very illiterate souls. Why destroy things that are a significant part of our history? Why adopt and promote a foreigner's culture whilst ignoring and degrading yours?

These days I feel uncomfortable speaking in English..and it is my hope that one day we will stop writing or teaching in English as well

The only sect that knows why religion was brought in the first place.

White people came to steal all our artifacts by telling us they are bad in the name of religion ( mental slavery) but they can move them to France Uk, Germany et al to display in their museum and generate money.

Time to go back to tradition, practice your religion (freedom to practice whatever you like is a human right), and allow the traditionalist to practice their

Stop harassing traditionalist priest, respect them the way you respect big pastors and alas.

It's our heritage

You see those slaves coming in now to castigate the act, but shout wow when they hear of it happening in a foreign land.
Those ancient Greek, Egyptian temples were never destroyed serve as tourist attraction centres today.
It's a nice move. Our kids and their kids will someday come to such place to learn about their predecessors cultural and religious practices..

That's your bloody business, the people who own the religion preserve their own artefacts while you and your stupid ilk degrade theirs.

we'll start speaking mandarin or Russian maybe, depending on who the global economic and military power is in those days. Reality is reality bro.

Modified: but I agree that those artifacts should be kept in a museum and not just burned like that.

The white missionaries invented the burning of our artefact,hidden behind the fallacy of Christianity.

while their main reason is to hide our identities and history so they will say we are Monkees living on tress without cultures and traditions.

Funny enough Africans bought the gibberish and endorsed it

The priest is simply saying that he is in the wrong vocation and faith.
There is nothing to cheer about his actions.
LIGHT HAS NOTHING IN COMMON IN DARKNESS, AND THE ALTAR OF HAS NO AGREEMENT WITH THE ALTAR OF IDOLS
NO PRIEST CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS , OR ON TWO ALTARS.
AVOID CONFUSSION, JOIN THE NATIVE PRIEST IF YOU ARE TIRED OF SERVING AS A PRIEST OF GOD ALMIGHTY.

Nice one padre.

One should not forget his origin. We're Africans first before religion.


God bless you immensely, padre.

The problem is that most people become priest bot because of calling but because of it is a route out of poverty.
