Maple:
We need not look beyond our (Africans) history to figure out why. Africans have always been the most religious and spiritual people in this world, yet the Europeans and Arabs continue to benefit the most from the very existence of Christianity and Islam.  When are we going to open our eyes to this fact?

Spirituality and Religion are two different things.  To the African, the two are almost inseparable, because we Africans have always been spiritual people,  long before any foreign religion was introduced. The concept of spirituality constituted the main strength to the African way of life.It is a concept deeply rooted into our cultures, traditions, and the religions of our ancestors, hence when the Europeans and Arabs introduced theirs to Africans, we immediate gave it a spiritual attachment. However, unknown to us, spirituality was not a concept well understood nor practiced by other non-African cultures.

Our main strength  (i.e spirituality) turned out to be our weakness; it didn't take too long for the missionaries to find out. So, as they gained more and more spiritual converts, their religions immediately turned into a tool for control, conquest and exploitation of the African people, they just could not help it. With abundant "blessings" from churches and mosques across Europe and Arabia respectively, African culture was targeted for destruction, Africans (converts inclusive) were sold into slavery, Genocided (my term),  despoiled, land pillaged, Holocaust-ed (100s times worse than the Jewish holocaust) ,  colonized and so many inhuman atrocities were committed against  Africans. When Christianity and Islam have finished serving their( Europeans and Arabs) purpose, they'll discard them. This is already happening in Western countries, and Arabs countries would soon follow suit.


Today, Africans are the most dominated , miserable and yet religious/spiritual people on this planet.  Like I said, our strength is indeed our greatest weakness.  The  religious "leadership torch"  has long been passed down to our African brethens  most of who understand and know how to play the game very well. They'll continue to make fortunes from exploiting their already miserable and unsuspecting people.

I think when you mention "spirituality" in regards to Africans you actually mean SUPERSTITUTION

notsure:
has anyone here been scammed and ended up in a relationship with their scammer? Perhaps married their scammer? I have had a relationship one line with this dude now for almost 5 years and we are planning to meet finally in another country. Can a scammer actually fall in love with their victim? He says he regrets it and wishes it never happened but it did happen. I have forgiven him but feel this need to meet him after all these years.

smh. where i'm from, people who get scammed are called mugus (foolish person); someone in this your situation would probably be called the muguest of the mugus. . .guess you must have heard the saying "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". you must be fat, old and ugly to be this desperate. . .anyway sha, follow your heart, MAGA

Yes, I accept that some of the founding fathers might have been slave owners but the fact that they have corrected this anomally by giving freedom to every people group (even though it had to be fought for) does not mean that we should now wallow in self pity and not get up from the dust to do something tangible with our lives.  I still thank God for the likes of Abraham Lincoln who took the bull by the horn to see that slave trade was abolished and Martin Luther King Jnr for the struggle to see it accomplished.  Charles Darwin who was coincidentally born on the same day as Abraham Lincoln saw Africans as animals and many of you hail him as the best thing since sliced bread and you follow his ideology believing that you are animals evolved from scum.  If I was to call you a monkey you will say that is an insult but if Darwin says that your ancestors are monkeys you will give him a nobel peace award.  Think about the words of [s]Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley and their students[/s] Abraham Lincoln in the bolded quotes below and come back to tell me that they are still your atheist christian heroes.

The fact that the achimedes, galileos or darwins of their time would most probably see blacks as inferioer does not take anything away from "their works" same way that it doesn't take anything from the fact that the george washingtons and abraham lincolns were great U.S president. But to try and shove it down our throat that these should be our models when it comes to ideals/virture/morals just because they were of the christian faith is a spit on our face (especially as a black man)

The abolishment of slavery by Lincoln was more of a war/political tool against the confederate south who's main economic source of finance were the cotton plantations. Just like you left us with some quotes, let me as well leave you with a couple of quotes from your all virtures god-sent Lincoln that you so idolize so you see his opinion of the likes of you and i(a black man) although you may have the white mans manliness shoved too far down your throat to see any different. . .

"I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ,  am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position." ---Abraham Lincoln

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that, " ---Abraham Lincoln

Let me leave you with some comedy to ligten up the mood in here as opposed to (and more realistic than) all that conspiracy bullsh*t videos you constantly be spamming the forum with

There you have it

You can be middle class (or even below middle class) and still can afford the services of a. . .

housekeeper/house-girl/maid/cook

gatekeeper/gate-man/security guard

personal driver

also. . .

you can relax and drink outdoors and any damn place you wanna

you can get pissy drunk and it still wont be illegal to drive

OLAADEGBU:
The onus is on you to prove to us that the founding fathers where slave traders, don't expect to make a spurious claim and expect us to swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Since you're too lazy to do a search of the obvious i'd just pick on two of the biggest names to buttress my claim

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_and_slavery

George Washington, from the time he was born, would be associated with slavery for the rest of his life; owning hundreds of slaves on his Mt. Vernon plantation in Virginia.

When Washington was 11 years old he inherited 10 slaves and 500 acres of land. He began managing the Mount Vernon plantation eleven years later, at the age of 22, he had a work force of about 36 slaves. With his marriage to Martha Custis in 1759, 20 of her slaves came to Mount Vernon. After their marriage, Washington purchased even more slaves. The slave population also increased because the slaves were marrying and raising their own families. By 1786, there were 216 active slaves on Mt. Vernon.[1] By 1799, when George Washington died, there were an estimated 316 slaves living on the estate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson

Monticello was also Thomas Jefferson's slave plantation. Throughout a period lasting seventy years, Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves


You happy now? So you still want us to espouse the values and ideals of these massive slave owners? I'm sure you do mr. uncle thomas

If the white man reaped off the black man it is because the black greedy man sold his brother off as they are still doing today.

Nice line of defense coming from an obvious uncle tom of his superior white masters who can do no wrong. "blame the victims". So, because there were nazi co-conspirators in nazi occupied europe the nazis should be absolved of all wrongdoings or because the US are able to impose puppet governments ran by iraqis justifies the murdering of innocent women and children in a war based on a lie?

like i said in my earlier post, its not too late. they're lots of bleaching creams available these days to turn you white like michael jackson so that you can feel much better about yourself. ewu

Beware Of False Teachers

. . .like YOU who constantly promote the racism inspired conspiracy theories of southern/confederate white redneck bigots of bible belt america

one thing everyone here should keep in mind before jumping into conclusion is that "there's always two sides to a story"

this is the same poster who in another thread was talking about channeling her energy to another guy whilst she was in a relationship

The onus is on you to prove that they were slave owners

there's nothing to prove here. its a well known fact. try google. it's like telling me to prove that abraham lincoln was once a US preident

Must everything be seen under the spectrum of black and white people groups, can't you see beyond your colour? If you hate the white man so much why don't you unlearn their language, education, technology and country and then come back to live in your village having nothing to do with the white man?

it turns black and white when you start posting videos that are posted in kkk/white supremacist/neo-nazi websites here in a nigerian website. i'm still hoping you're white if not, you're one f.ucked up mudasucker. and NO, i don't hate the white man; i only despice racist people whether black or white

nopuqeater:
listen to the buffon mudled mudley313. is that guy and his crowd and all those who misbehave among muslims the 'majority'? Majority in this case is an expression in the term of the saying; ""one" with God is a majority".

if only one man practices islam correctly, he is a majority all by himself. you need to learn.

i also know nigeria; the native religions have their violent strick, too. many of the local wars, prior to amalgamation of nigeria were waged by the idolworshippers against another, or tribe. get lost after you sharaaaaaaap, idiotic boy using straws for brain.

Blah, Blah, Blah. . .idiotic and moronic follower of a savage arabian peadophile. keep defending the barbarity that pervades your despicable so-called religion called islam. . .the only difference between you guys and the nazis is the military capacity the germans had in WWII. . .i'm done with debating you bout your cruel, inhumane and barbaric stone age arabian religion. . .below is a picture of the grim images of acts perpetuated by your fellow senseless barbarians. . .hope you salivate (sorry, mastubate) to the deaths of the innocents in the name of your monster god allah while you fantasize bout your imaginary underage virgins. ewu

you guys are one disgusting bunch. tufiakwa!

This song show the burden of true and discerning Christians to pray for their nations especially that of America. It talks about the founding fathers of America and their true values and beliefs.

mr. uncle thomas, where was all of these white folks when bush and em were reaping the country blind?

and did you know all of the founding founders from washington to andrew jackson were all big slave owners. so, the values and beliefs of enslaving and dehumanizing blacks is what you too espouse? you're one crazy mudasucker. don't worry, they're now lots of bleaching creams available, you too can be white like michael jacson. ewu

i would concur with this statement in regards to the case of black slaves in america. they had nothing to turn to for solace during their enslavement but religion; and unfortunately it was the same religion of the racist white man who considered them sub-human. another typical/modern-day example is today's nigeria

Nigga, please. I lived in New York City before 911, before the first attempt, and afetr 911. I saw it with my own eye. Not through the TV's beam me up scottie. No one of my muslim friends jubilated. We al felt the horror of the disaster. So your foolish dilussional statement is utter stupidity from whereever you are hold out in.

mehn, you need to just sharrap there, you delusional slave of the arabian monster called allah still practicing a barbaric religion that civilization left behind. i was in nigeria during 9/11 and the whole of hausa quarter in the city i lived at went into wild jubilation and there were footages of other muslims in other countries celebrating the death of the innocents from the hands of your islamic savages. why would muslims living in the US at the time openly jubilate? you must be really daft and in serious need of medication of some sought

No, seriously, is the islamic religion even defensible? a religion synonymous with world wide mayhem and terrorism even down to naija. did you even see the graphic images after the jos massacre perpetrated by your barbaric brothers? are you comparing the gravity of that or attempts to blow up an airplane with 419? You must be one sick barstard like the rest of your terrorist brothers and your peadophile master called muhammed

OLAADEGBU:
One must channel his energy on something, what do you channel yours on, atheism?

atleast i don't channel minez helping to propagate the causes of racist white bigots who would rather me and you were still enslaved. . .mehn, i'm done with your coon azz, this is just pathetic. . .abeg, do us all a favor and kill yourself

nopuqeater:
@Mudley313: We all dont know who carried it out as the people you labelled "towel heads". You cant beat your life on it. Even Bush, Cheney and the prosecutors of the war on Terror cant bet their lives on it. They know the trut, They did not want anything investigated, America does not jump into conclusions, ever, except until this issue. I lived in New York City. My home allowed me to see the towers burning, the second plane hitting it, and both building falling down. The america I knew before then would have investigated and there was no way any country could have penetrated her airspace and security without being apprehended and destroy.

Well how did the "towel head" do it from the dark ages mindset and cave living mentality, except maybe they were left to take the blame for it? Only God Almighty knows the Absolute truth. You and I and others only hope that we are right in the position we hold on this matter. Islam is always in the forefront of innovations, if you look at the Quran and Sunnah, the only sources that the early muslims got their inspiration in zest for good lives. If only the muslims of today go back to it. Dhubai is going back to it and it is the today's Paradise on earth, so you have a lot to learn.

blah, blah, blah. . .muslims the world over went into wild jubilation after the towers fell so don't come at me with all that conspiracy theory bullcrap to cover the behind of the barbarity and savagery that pervades the teachings of your despicable religion. . .i guess to your delusional self the first attempt at bringing down the twin towers and the couple of embassy bombings prior to 9/11 where also an inside job or the senseless barbaric slaughters in jos were also carried out by dubya and cheney; smh. . .face it, the islamic religion is one of the most backward, savage and despicable of all modern day religions. . .i'll take the utter delusions of the christian religion any day as opposed to the savagery and stone age way of thinking of you sand niggas

Allah is not Arabian Deity. If it were it would have been for arabs only. And we see that not all arabs are muslims, and not all muslims are arabs. Further, if it was arab Deity, at the moment of 911 onward, the Muslims from the west would have been leaving it, if others who are not arabs refuse to eave it for arabs. But there are many more in the west now becoming muslims. So you statement is without merit once again.

whether you like it or not allah is an arabian deity. the fact that people the world over practice christianity doesn't negate the fact that yahweh is a jewish deity same as zeus was greek or olodumare was yoruba. the fact that you, a black man out of colonial mentality, decides to serve a foreign deity does not take away that bare fact

And men are also virgins. Virginity is the absence of coitous or sexual penetration. A little boy is a virgin, for example. So a woman who enters paradise will have her virgin husband waiting, for her virginity. Since am not a savage, your classification is utter stupidity.

what has this analogy got to do with anything. the fact that you guys actually believe there'll be virgins waiting for your lame-azz selves in your imaginary paradise borders on the mentally insane. your retarded belief system is not just utter stupidity but despicable and utter insanity. islam is nothing but an evil murderous and cancerous cult, murdering thousands just because of a cartoon; smh. cos of your likes, nigerians now have to go through unnecessary extra scrutiny at airports abroad. i spit on your hideous religion for the shame it has brought to my country nigeria and the havoc it causes the world over

And you obviously learnt English and some academics. ZFrom where you come from that will be some form of inferiority complex, too. Or not because you obviously did not refuse it, why? just the value that your acquiring some academic scholarship has in your life, that quantification is less to what Islam has impacted in my life. Sorry if i am not carefree like you. So shove your idealogy where you know what! Your personal hypocrasy sickens me.

Yea, I imbibed the positive and rational parts of westernization like education, science and modernization and threw away the dregs that came with it like enslavement, racism and illogical foreign religious belief systems. The existence of islam is a bane on growth and modernization, how you guys treat women is despicable and its sickening to see my fellow black men rever a savage arabian peadophile that brought us this garbage of a religious practice

lol @ the responses

how old are you? you seem kinda emotionally immature. anyways, with your emotions spread across 3 guys its impossible to be happy in your current relationship. channel all that energy to working on what you have right now and only after then can you be sure if its meant to be or not. as for now, you're just being a cheating (emotional infidelity), selfish, manipulative liar (cos i can bet your current guy is not aware of the 2 others) and will end up in disappointment if you think you can eat your cake and have it

nopuqeater:
@Mudley313: Imagine who make Piazza tower lead in Italy, or who made the Greek Acroplolis into ruin, or the BP oil disasters in the US Gulf, or the Chenobyll disater in Russia, or the Exxon valdes in Alaska, or Union Carbide disaster in India, etc? Religion, too?

i'm not implying that disasters (whether natural or man-made) will be non-existent without religion. but we all know the amount of deaths and atrocities perpetrated by man through the ages all in the name of religion. the figures are dumbfounding

Use your head. A lot of people have their opinions of what happened to the tower and others. You continue to live in a bubble of D. Cheney. Even he was unable to sustain the Iraqi WMD idealogy anymore.

we all know it was carried out by some towel heads, who would rather we still live in the dark ages, all in the name of their arabian deity and the promises of virgins in their imaginary after-life. i know you'll wanna deny that cos you subscribe to the same religion as these savages

sorry, if i was dumb enough to subscribe to the obvious myths and farytales of religion, i wont be that dumb enough to subscribe to those of foreign religions just because it was propagated by the white man or for whatever reason. where i'm from, its called inferiority complex. . .so you guys can shove all that jewish and arabian bullshit up your you-know-what

from your story thus far. . .

you met someone you're very attracted to (lust), didn't date him, started dating someone you "supposedly" love and then met guy A again whom you're still attracted to and followed him to his house even tho you have a boyfriend you supposedly love

1. You're a selfish person. . .wanna eat your cake and have it
2. You don't know what love is. . .cos if you loved the second guy you would not disrespect him enough to follow guy A to his house. Thus, you don't "love" guy B, your selfish-self just thinks you do
3. You don't know what a committed relationship is. . .cos you'd have not disrespected guy B and the relationship you have with him to follow guy A to his house
4. You're driven by lust for guy A and clouded by the fantasy that comes with infatuation
5. I hope you're still young age-wise and will eventually learn from experience, if not you're the type guys should avoid. Very fickle and easily drawn by lust and attraction and naively calls it love. smh

If there was a god, it definitely wont be that bloodthirsty, biased, tyrannical and maniacal jewish deity with an overblown ego called yahweh created in the image of savage bronze age jewish normads in their own image

one thing i've always wondered, if yahweh was supposedly revealed to the israelites at a point in time through their prophets and this is the same god portrayed in the adam and eve myth; when then was there a disconnect between yahweh and humans (who he spoke directly to in earlier times) that he needed to be reintroduced as the one and only true god to the wandering jews?

why are there no "black" people in your videos mr. uncle tom? or why do the nut jobs in your videos have mostly white followers? you would have been a good slave during the slave trade era, helping your white masters in propagating rubbish (like how the bible condones slavery and how the black race is cursed and inferior from some fairytale story in your masters bible) and try to bring other succeeding black peeps (like MLK and Obama) down all in the name of religion. this gross stupidity is even far worse than your everyday colonial mentality

^^^i wish you can channel this your energy the right direction by focusing on the corrupt leadership that ravages nigeria instead of swallowing panadol for another mans headache

both can be as emotional as the other but males are brought up to outwardly conceal theirs more; only sissy males overtly display emotions like a female

This came after i had bursted her for 3months for hanging her phone on me

To be honest, that is something i desired for my career puropse and ambition, i needed exposure and opportunity to help my family and friends, so with that statement, i became so anxious, it was like it should happen here and now

i didn't see her call for like 2weeks and i started sending her messages juast to keep in touch. .Sometimes I would call and she would not pick the call. I became so worried and at the same time restless, so i did her amail to ask that she let meknow hen she think it would be ok for her to beging the process,  no response, later sshe picked my call and she told me in alow tomne that i should not have sent that spec of mail

for weeks she didnt pick my call and I had to send a friend who went to OTc houston to her

mr. man, you sound/sounded so desperate its actually pathetic. . .and pls dont call this "love"; call it desperation, obsession or sumthin else but dont belittle/misuse the word "love"

so you mr. anti-obama, would you have prefered a john mccain as president with egg-head palin as vice? i pity you for constantly feeding into the propaganda of RACIST WHITE bible belt hick redneck americans who cant get over the fact that there's a BLACK man at the WHITE house. . .and what has all the prayers nigerians and their leaders been overdoing done for the country

are you even an american? leave our country alone and face your own palava

Now I see why the Christian Right down South won't be voting for him come 2012!

they weren't the ones who voted him into office in the first place

Intercessory prayer does not work. In fact, if christians actually studied their faith's dogma they would understand why prayer can not possibly work.

Does it make sense to believe that an all-knowing, all-powerful and all benevolent god has to be reminded that their followers need help?

Christians believe that god has a divine plan for everyone so praying is pointless. This means that if god has everything planned out then things are going to happen the way God planned it, whether you pray or not.

According to christian beliefs, god has a plan for us all and has our best interests at heart. So, when they pray to him they are, in effect, saying "hey God, I don't like the way you are running things and this is what I want you to do, "

Prayer does not affect outcomes anymore than animal sacrifices, astrological events, or voodoo spells. The fact that prayer never works in situations where the desired result is not already probable within reason, is either proof that prayer does not work at all or that "God" is limited in power.

also forgot to add what the age of the so-called pastor is. . .could be 70 yrs old for all we care

and why looking for "real" born again online? no more "real" born agains in todays naija churches
