Hmm, this your write up would have been reasonable and logical if only every nation of people was created by different gods or if there is no God. To us humans we see ourselves different from each other due to many factors such as skin colour, languages, colonization, culture, traditions, locations etc but to the God that made everyone we are same and that was why He selected only few people and sent them to the entire world. He is like the father in a poligamous setting, the father owns all the children and all the children are equal in his sight even though they have different mothers.
God decided to choose Abraham then through whom He sent three religion. God does not have the habit of calling the crowd but calls specific person whom He now send to the crowd. I'm sure God chose Abraham and isrealites then. because apart from the holiness found in him, they were among the 'civilized' and existing people then. I'm very sure Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo did not exist then.
If you agree that there is God who created the heaven and the earth and everything in it then you will realize it is logical and correct to be a Christian, Muslim or judaist. You are still under the same God who still sustains the world. You won't feel you are accepting something that is not applicable to you, you will realize you are doing the right thing because when you die like every other person you will report to the same God that other tribes and nationals will report to, there is no different heaven or hell for Arab , Jews, whites black, Asians etc. we will all go to the same heaven or hell depending on the work of our hands.

Having said that, do you know that some people have a live connection to the spiritual and have confirmed that the Bible and Quran are actually Truth and that worshipping a creature like yourself in any guise will displease your maker?
God does not care if you are not Jew or Arab and will not pardon you for rejecting Him because you are not a biological Abraham descendant because He still owns you.
Some of us have seen Angels, heaven, hell, and have heard the spiritual enough to know that serving any other god beside the Almighty Creator will take you to hell after life.

If you say this is all lies, ask yourself what if it's true?

I carefully read through your writeup, and without bias. *Sigh*, where do I start from?

Okay okay. Most archaeologists, by way of extensive research, agree that human life began in Africa. As a matter of fact, many of them deem this as nearly incontrovertible. For you to so boldly say that you are very sure Yoruba, Igbo and hausa did not exist then seriously makes me shudder. Human species originated in Africa and spread across to other parts of the world. Yorubas... in fact, africans are the first human specie variety. So yes, we existed before Israel. This may very likely be at odds with what you learnt in your book (bible). That we very likely existed before Israel should already set the alarm bells ringing that most of what you believe from that book, from the creation story and all that to believing you are a descendant of abram etc. are very much disputable.

Also I cant help but detect that typical inferiority complex of a black man that would justify anything that will place him under the wings of a foreigner. I dont just get some of you. You're just saying, "God said", "God said"... If I ask you now, where did God say? Next thing is to point me to a book, a bible. Why should I believe that as source of authority? A mere canonization of ancient texts when societies tried to govern themselves and mixed religion with law? Is that what you want me to take as source of truth? C'mon cut that crap and snap out of it!

I could and will for a fact, tell you "God said / IFA said", "God said / IFA said"... would you believe theirs over mine or mine over theirs? If not why? Simple. 3 reasons: because theirs was written as a book, you were brainwashed from birth, and finally the crowd mentality. You grew up seeing many people around you doing it so you just assumed it must be correct. It's environmental impact. So many people cannot just be wrong you'd say. You didnt verbalise it, your mind subconsciously internalised it. And you and your mind were misled. Simple and short.

In fact, your thinking needs serious adjustment and iron-bending. Where did God send 3 religions of which I presume (Judaism, xtianity and islam). See the way you mention it as if it all started at the same time. Judaism had been the culture of the Israelites for a long time and xtianity succeeded it. And after many years Islam did. You leave so many religions out of this. Where will you put hinduism? Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, ancient egypt religions, Ifa, Satsana, hammurabi worship, Ra worship and a variety of so-called "pagan" worship and beliefs? You are just a product of colonialism. Say China forms nigeria instead of britain and imposed their religion on your forefathers, today you'd be writing in Mandarin and telling me how God sent Buddha.

Finally, truth is relative. If you say people find truth in quran and bible, fair enough. So also is truth in Ifa, Orunmila, Buddhism, Taoism. In the end truth is relative. There are actually alot of good and reasonable things someone can extract from either book you mentioned though. But that doesn't make it real or from God. It's just common sense.

Lastly, if God does not care if I'm Jew or Arab, then let the Jews and arabs line up behind my own Gods of my own lands. Why must I be the one to line up behind their own yahweh or allahu. I will never be subservient to them or their gods. Q.E.D.

Oh, and did you say you've seen angels? Were they on robes, did they have crown on their hair, were they emitting bright lights? If neither of this, I can surely tell that they looked more of a white than they looked like you a black woman. Come off that brainwashing, Miss/ Mrs.

Goddyrichie:
they say u worship satan d whites and d Arabs own we black people brain 🧠 they’re our remote they control us with this religion shit they made us believe our religion is evil but theirs is d pure one since my eyes don open 4 d past 4 years now I stop going to church cuz Nigeria church to me is a scam nothing like love helping each other in Nigeria Christian is all about getting d tithes and offering everyday

Bro you are more than correct. You'ave said it all.

We must begin to look from within ourselves.

I realised that the earliest comments receive the most scrutiny on this nairaland. Anything wey vex moderator, them go comot am o.

So make I compose small and deliver my nugget in a soothing way.

Black people, let's just gather and think a little first. Why are the holy lands you recognise found in Israel and Mecca? Do blacks just exist solely for the purpose of being spectators on earth? When you see the racism and maltreatment by the westerners and arabs against black people, you should realise that it's not always because of the colour of your skin. No.

Instead, it is because of your inferiority complex, and worse, your shamelessness while at it. Don't we have our own villages we are native to? Your Kwale, Ikom or Arochukwu villages that you are native to is the same way Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem are villages that Arabs and Israelis are native to. We have our folklores, they to have theirs. To explain, Yorubas have their Oduduwa, Oranmiyan, Oya, Esu Laalu, Sango, Sanpanna, Yemoja, Ayelala folklores etc. (Very rich, the Yoruba's folklores I must say). The Igbos have their Amadioha, Chi, Ekwensu foklores etc. It's the same way the Jews have their Moses and Jesus folklores and the Arabs, their Mohammed folklores.

The difference is that they developed their own, and we are letting ours die. They simply wrote books to add authenticity to their version but that does in no way make those things true or superior to ours. What we should have done instead is to canonize ours. I am more than ashamed that at this day and age, the Yorubas have not yet centralised a book that houses our folklores. Why do we blacks always appear slow and disorganised? Remember religion is a tool to control, for influence and power. If you go to church tomorrow and they put anointing oil on your head, that same oil is olive oil. It comes in a bottle. It's imported... all the way from Israel. You are boosting their economy. Cos they've used their religion to rope you in. Their win, your loss.

You go to do pilgrimage in their lands. You spend money there, book hotel reservation there, tour there. You boost their economy. You abandon yours. They sell you a heaven, you boost their economy. And they control you. Their win, your loss. This is why till my last breath will keep advocating for Yorubas to return to their ancient ways. The ways of our ancestors; the ways of Ifa. When I was a teen, like many, I derided those things... thinking it was for illiterate or local people. Now, oju ti si, oju ti la. Ko s'obo n'Idanre mo (Monkey no deh Idanre again o). There is nothing that boosts your ego like preserving your own culture.

Shoutout to people like Tani Olorun, Ifa Sooto, Maiyegun, Adetunji Oosha, all Yoruba nation campaigners (not one of them speaks against yoruba tradition and belief system), Ify Onwubiko, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Jonathan (on Radio Biafra), Òmìnira ọmọ Odùduwà, and one beautiful but fairly old but young-looking yoruba woman like that that wears glasses (I cant believe her name has skipped my mind now). Ipinle Oro. Remembered Yes!.

Honchoslim16:
he said he used handkerchief to regrow a breast... But where is the woman?? No evidence 😂 😂

Funny thing be say Doctors go dey among the congregation wey shout "praise the Lord" 😭 😂

So painful. Simple questions they cannot ask. And these are people whose field does not joke with clinical trials.

adams123:
Your eyes will soon clear and your craziness will be obvious before your face

Religio-bigot... wetin una sabi pass threat?

Honchoslim16:
bro you dey burst my head 😂 😂

Wetin you expect from people wey their G.O tell dem to pray that their Neighbours beg from them 😂

Very foolish followers. Their O.G (Original Gangster), sorry, G.O said he drinks tea with their god via bluetooth.

How can such a phenomenon happen yet nigerian xtians are complaining about hardship. By now, we should be having a tea-fest! You by now suppose don dey swim inside bournvita.

You'd expect nigerians by now should be drowning in torrential pools of lipton mixed with better cowbell, while hanging onto agege bread as floater.

Set awon afofungbemu.

Honchoslim16:
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Be like say Christians no dey face economic hardship for naija oo 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

U dey mind these people. Watch out, small time na, them go post title for nairaland front page saying

"See 3 slice of yams I bought for 1,000 naira. Help! Do they sell it cheaper in your area?"

Honchoslim16:
It's actually a sin to use Common sense when it comes to religion 😂 😂

Hohoho, you should have just posted this meme.

englishmart:
99.9% of Yahoo boys have no investment. Just Loud, ostentatious and instant Allah.

And na them deh call god pass.

You see that one a few days ago weh say hin no believe hin god, did u see how the girls were pestering him to believe in god despite knowing his source of wealth is questionable? Even after the guy used his mouth to say "client".

@ officialwdhtvv

WTF.. I just watched a few of his recent documentaries a few days ago. It's trilogymedia I believe.

It was so interesting. Mehn, abuja na the hotseat of yahoo boys. Like kilode? E get one wey hin show hin feet: he named him "nastyfeet".

He get another one them get conversation, them begin deh yab each other. The nigerian guy threaten am say hin go use black powers on am. That death will call at night. That he should pick.

Whenever theyre caught, they begin to panic and try to shut their laptops. I go just deh laugh ooo.

Haa, lemme enjoy this.

I remember watching arguments of jagabandits and obirodents fighting for one nigeria then.

We warn them say if one nigeria continue, una go hear nwiennnn. And today, it is happening. Some wey fight for one nigeria elections last year don kpai. And sadly, many more will still die down the road.

3 more yrs, let's see who survives.

SatoshiX:
These people will continue cashing out at the expense of the ignorant of religious fanatics.

Mugus go always deh na.

Benefactors of mugus deserve their rewards.

Nothing too serious here. Natural selection at play.

Mugu fall / drop, guyman chop.

Imagine being so fanatically brainwashed that you'll leave your lush green habitat and travel thousand of miles into a steaming desert because u've been brainwashed from birth that it's a holy land.

So your village, and the land of your ancestors no holy abi? Even if tomorrow I suddenly become a religious fool, I don't know what someone wants to tell or convince me to partake in such. I deh crase?

Gajagojo:
recorded by whom?

@Tonididdyx, come and answer.

Who recorded it? You xtians have gone so deep in ur delusions that u get surprised on how u guys have closed the operation of huge sections of ur brains due to years of bible/quran brainwashing.

Now the simple question again: who recorded it?

Kaiser20:
Africans have brought their traditional beliefs into Christianity, emphasizing a strong belief in the power of results and miracles. They view everything through a spiritual lens and see challenges as an evil attacks

Their conviction that God can provide everything they need is a testament to their faith.
They believe so much in Luck, Favor, and destiny helper.

That destiny helper is the funniest. One day I deh discuss with one banny, she dey tell me say she deh pray may god provide destiny helper for her.

Men, I have never felt so irritated in my life.

Imagine, having a discussion with a typical enlightened mind, and ure saying u want a destiny helper. Like what madness! Just admit, u guys lack the balls or the organisation to confront the government or revolute. Simple and short. Then continue in ur hardship and suffering.

Ewo tun ni destiny helper? Who destiny helper epp?

Joy2dworldxyz:
ARISE OH GOD SO EVERYONE KNOW THAT YOU EXIST.

LORD THE TIME IS NOW PLEASE.

Hush it there.

Nothing is arising anywhere. What were u thinking? Hail will fall like it did in Sodom and gomorrah as ur book of fables narrate?

Just deh play.

Ontarioo:
Only a fool say there's no God

Only black monkeys in west africa quote canonized books from roman slave dealers as true source of authority.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
Hungry atheist

The people shouting "ebi n pa wa"...

What percentage do u think are theists?

themanderon:
A fool sayeth in his heart there is no God. This world is just too perfect for it not to have a creator.

The world is not perfect. You wished.

KingAzubuike:
Religion and law controls the world. Just imagine a world eithout those two?

Everywhere snd everything would have been upside down.

Yea just like how the arabs have been killing indigenous populace throughout arabia and north africa in their jihad while the xtians burnt people at the stakes after calling them 'witches'.

Honchoslim16:
Is there any proof that the builder mentioned that "not even God can sink the ship"

He's a typical xtian. That's how they add jara to things to spice up their fantasies. Just free him.

Honchoslim16:
"nothing is born out of nothing" 😂

Who created Yahweh?

You know nigerians are not logical in reasoning.

The guy doesn't even realise his statement is illogical, as short as it is?

2tpick:
A fool says in his heart that there is no God

A wise man speaks it out.

InvertedHammer:

Ever heard of graveyard peace? That's what we have in Nigeria. You think there is peace when majority of the people are living worse than Oyibo dogs.

The lady tried to convince him that God is the one helping him be successful in scamming people.

This is the most pitiful aspect of the video that so-called nigerians' brains skipped. They are indirectly saying their god helps generate funds, even if it's illicit.

These people are the most immoral shameless people one can encounter.

Steep:
If there is no God then there is no good and evil, everything is just a matter of personal or collective opinion. So if someone like he can kill you it is his opinion, you can't say what boko haram/Islamic terrorists are doing is wrong, no body can determine wrong from right, survival for the fittest, might is right will be the order of the day.
You can't say that rape,murder, stealing, fraud etc are bad it all becomes a matter of personal preference.

You are correct. That is why god and religion was invented.

To control. Simple and short.

Formation10:
When money finish you go remember God, titanic ship sank because the builders say nothing on earth will make the ship sink not even God but what happen to it, money they make you talk nonsense you go still run to this God for help

The time I didnt have money was the time my believe in the nonexistence of god was at its strongest.

Ur point is moot.

Let the 200m nigerians run to this god for help and ensure they get the help they request before berating those who don't believe in their skydaddy.

Gajagojo:
Only fools say there is God
Why must believers in God bully no believers
There is a Bobrisky
Only a fool will say there is no Bobrisky

God on the othe4 hand has to have qualities that you imagine and fabricate

Like God is good why must God be good
God can be evil

He/She/It can be anything. Could be air, could be nature, could be nothing. No one has any irrefutable proof.

abba190:
all the guys that think God isnt real are mads. if God doesnt exist then who will punish tinubu?

Then it means nigerians are more mad than anything cos all their punishers in form of rulers tend to outlive them?

How many of you will grow as old as buhari or tinubu and live a life of largesse like they lived? Anyone who thinks the average nigerian is smart is definitely dumb.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
Only a fool says there id no GOD.
IF YOU CLOSE NOSE AND DONT USE HIS FREE AIR,THEN YOUR SENSES WILL BOUNCEBACK.IDIOT,you are not the only one that has problems,go and eat good food first to regain your consciousness,idiot

Then that proves there is air. Not god.

From the comments, many nigerians' proof about god is equating him to air. Is that so?

Tonididdyx:
God dey oh!
A higher being is responsible for our human existence.
Nothing is born out of nothing!

But when it comes to ur god, u'll say nothing created him, that he exists only of himself.

But ure here saying nothing is born out of nothing. Ur argument is not consistent, hence trashed.

Biggie225:
Nebuchadenezzer did it but God humbled him. This guy dey Bleep up.

Which nebuchadnezzer? The one that only exists in ur book of fables abi?
