ANOTHER DUNCE REGURGITATING BOGUS, RACIST, GARBAGE COLONIAL REPORTS.

OF COURSE THEY CAME TO STEAL, so they would concoct every lie about their victims to justify their evil.

Funny how this colonial British propaganda contrasts SO SHARPLY with the accounts of much earlier 15th century Dutch and Portuguese visitors who visited these shores and reported that Benin City was among the most beautiful and best-planned cities on Earth, with zero crime, hence people building their houses with no front doors, as there was no need for them!

That is authentic AFRICAN HISTORY, from authentic sources.

Not the British who came and burned/looted that same Benin city, and then lied afterwards about them making human sacrifices there.

Rubbish.

They don’t even realise that the only reason the Jesus story makes sense to them is that it was drilled into their heads and sold to them as ‘fact’ when they were children, before their brains were fully developed enough to filter out bullshiit.

Any adult hearing that Jesus story for the first time instantly rejects it for the nonsensical fairytale it is.

Imagine hearing as an adult for the first time that some guy was born by a virgin impregnated by a spirit?

That he walked on top of a sea without sinking.

And then raised people from the dead. Until he was killed and woke up from the dead on the 3rd day.

And that he later flew up into heaven on a dinner table before onlookers?

You would conclude the person telling you this story must be drunk.

I'm still finding it hard to beleive that l grew up beleiving this invented story of Jesus Christ for decades. I now understand some years back when l said to a group of young adults in a church that we should not forget about the coming back of Jesus Christ and one of the young adult who organised the group gave me a weird look.

A god that can be stolen or taken away ain't no God IMO

Well, when they took them vast majority of us couldn't worship our gods anymore because they took them away. What's that about spirituality again?

[i]Ifa is the true words of Olodumare (God) to his people, the yorubas.
Orunmila was the Messenger of Olodumare, who brought Ifa to the yorubas, similar to how Jesus Christ brought the bible to the Christians and Muhammed brought the Koran to the Muslims.

Sango, Ogun, Obatala, Yemoja, Osun ati bebelo are not "Gods" as someone here will have us believe, that their stolen effigies were actually Gods when in fact, those figurines were merely physical representations of their "special" spirituality.

They are not Gods but "orisas" - special chosen ones, like Saints.

IFA is not all about spirituality but it contains spirituality as it does contains all aspects of human endeavours . Basically, it's the moral compass that the yorubas relied on for solution when confronted with adversities.

FUN FACT: The Koran has 6,666 verses/chapters starting with "Bissimilai" whilst the Bible (both Old & New testament) has 35, 527 verses or chapters however IFA is made up of 430,088 verses. So in essence, IFA predates both the Bible and the Koran!/i]

Those images they took away were symbolics of African Gods. They are not the God itself. Just as Terrorists destroy churches, kill pastors and thousands of Christians without any intervention from their God

Well, if you notice, OP said African gods are vengeful, no forgiveness, and consequences are immediate - which is why he is advocating using them in swearing on in instead of the Bible.
Christians never made any such claims about God

Reflect7:
You reject your own rich and beautiful African religion, to be following so called 'saviours' from Europe and Arabia.

Meanwhile you have no clue that the REAL reason the colonialists and Arab invaders forced you to abandon your religion was because they were SCARED SHITLESS of its deep spirituality and power. And its capacity to free the human mind.

The whites today have all abandoned the Roman invented ''Jesus'' and are all chasing African-inspired religions from Buddhism to Hinduism to African religion itself - ancIent spiritual traditions which predate christianity by thousands of years, and hold the REAL TRUTHS of our existence.

TruthHurts1:
I love when these illiterates package their ignorance and share it for the world to see.
Where exactly are the oyinbos? These are Hispanics from Cuba and they are not worshipping Ifa, they are practicing Santeria which is a Cuban religion that mixes Orisha worship brought to Cuba by Yoruba slaves with Roman Catholicism.
If you love it so much, practice it on yourself and your family and leave the rest of us to follow our conscience as best as we can.
Christianity is not a White man's religion.

Africans were practicing Christianity when the British were still living in caves like barbarians.

PoliteActivist:


Well, they were not just symbolic otherwise we'd have easily made another one. Example, Jesus statutes are symbolic - they sell them in the market, and I can make one myself if I want. No, those statues were the gods themselves - terrible and fearsome, and you dared not approach them, not to talk of look at them unless fortified, and women and children dared not set eyes on them!
Yet here they are, on display in some museum for all to see. So much for that!

Reflect7:


Look at this air head.

He sees Caucasians using an IFA DIVINATION TRAY, Opon IFA, and he says it is not IFA.

I bet your colonised head hasn’t the slightest clue what an Opon IFA is.

Mumu.

A few people in Ethiopia practicing Christianity in ancient times having been deceived by the Romans, doesn’t mean Africans cared or knew about Christianity.

joyandfaith:


False religion of yoruba people. It is based on tales, fictions , superstition and fear of dead. Ifa tales are fables and based on oral traditions that cannot be proven. Dirty religion.

TruthHurts1:

This fool keeps making it easier to mock him. So Hispanics are now Caucasians? Heaven have mercy!😆

Please go and beg the Europeans to release your shigidi idols made of wood and stone from their museums because you are clearly lost without them!

Reflect7:


YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AFRICAN RELIGION, so SHUSH.

Individuals at home carved images of deities to place on their altars in their courtyards. They were thousands and probably millions of such images. They were symbolic just like your church paintings and cross are symbolic.

Ignoramus talking rubbish.

Plus 95% of the artefacts looted were NOT religious artefacts representing deities. They were bronze works from Benin, Ife etc which depicted kings and soldiers etc.

Plus you are lying to boot. Nobody had image of Ogun or Amadiha at home. They were deep in the forest, in their shrine, accessible only to their priests and certain elders. Just as we believe egungun are the real spirits of the ancestors, not some funny-looking masquerade - which is actually what they are!

Genius talking rubbish.

Africans didn't do "symbolic" for the most part. They didn't believe in a god you can't see. That statue itself was the god - that's what you swear to! It had magical powers (we believed)

Who said everything they stole were gids??!

Reflect7:


Surely you must be mistaking Christianity for IFA.

Fear of death? That’s Christianity’s specialisation. With their evil false claim that if you don’t worship their fairytale white blonde, the Supreme Being will burn in you in fire forever.

What type of sadistic and devilish religion is that? That is just pure blackmail to make you feel compelled to worship their false god out of FEAR.

Christianity also lies that once you die, your soul dies and you only live again when you are ‘resurrected’ in future by ‘Jesus’.

A total LIE.

IFA says the truth, which is that when we die, we retain our consciousness as immortal souls and return to the land of the ancestors, which we call heaven.

That’s even being confirmed by numerous accounts of near-death experiencers who say they left their bodies after clinical death and were fully aware and could see everything while out of body. Thousands of such accounts from the world over cannot be wrong.

Superstition?

Your bible is FILLED with superstition and falsehoods from Jonah living in a shark’s belly for 40 days to ‘Jesus’ changing 2 fishes to 1,000, before flying up into heaven from a dinner table.

IFA makes sense.

Christianity is utter nonsense.

Adults can be converted to IFA because it makes sense.

An adult in full control of his faculties can never be converted to Christianity because the story is utter rubbish from start to finish.

Reflect7:


Thank you. Same way our pre colonial ancestors rejected those Christian stories because they made no sense to them.

That was when the British decided to use economic blackmail to FORCE them, by insisting that to enter the schools, their children had to drop their religion and be ‘baptised’ as Christians.

There was no choice given by the evil invaders.

That’s why these mentally colonised Nigerians today are still carrying ‘Jesus’ on their heads like gala.
