It was because your an ancestors were dumb, and were not living any better.

They accepted, because the new way looks more human than their existing life style.

Reason, they easily abandoned their old.

Who wouldn't with the barbarism of their old traditions, which still existed in many places up till now.

I came from a family that is traditionally dreaded by our local community,

So I know what I am talking about.
YOU ARE A VICTIM OF BRITISH PROPAGANDA.

THAT IS WHY YOU REASON LIKE THIS.

Here is the truth about our past, which was Paradise on Earth compared to the rotten, corrupt, violent post-colonial mess you inhabit today, surrounded by bandits, robbers and corrupt looters of public funds.


GUARDIAN UK REPORT: BENIN-THE MIGHTY MEDIEVAL CAPITAL NOW LOST WITHOUT TRACE


"Benin City was also one of the first cities [ON EARTH] to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace.

Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle.

They called it the “Great City of Benin”... Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.


African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design.

The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era.

According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.


At the centre of Benin city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide.

These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water."


(UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE THAT ONLY ABUJA CAN BOAST OF TODAY, BENIN CITY HAD IT 600 YEARS AGO)

"Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them...

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”..

The traditionalists are wrong on this matter but she should have respected their faith as she would want them to respect theirs. A non Muslim can't set foot in a Mosque not to talk of Egungun. Even touching a Quran mistakenly can result in death.

For peace and fairness, Christians and Muslims should avoid doing whatever will aggravate them.
LOL as a Christian have entered a mosque quite a number of times, held the Quran cos I have Muslim frnds growing up and while in school... Don't exaggerate it..... The main thing is RESPECT others beliefs and tradition.... It's not that difficult

So 500 years ago, while PRACTICING TRADITIONAL RELIGION the Benin Empire built a wall 4 times longer than the Great Wall of China, had streetlights, underground drainage, large houses, multistorey buildings and public monuments, zero hunger, zero poverty, zero crime, no front doors on houses because the idea of theft was "unknown", according to European visitors.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL "CIVILISATION".

WHAT THE BRITISH BROUGHT HERE WAS REGRESSION, NOT CIVILISATION.

BECAUSE TODAY YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR HOME AT NIGHT OR BUILD A HOUSE WITHOUT HIGH FENCING, MASSIVE GATES, BARBED WIRE. PLUS GATEMAN ON TOP.

OR SLEEP WITH TWO EYES CLOSED.

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS AND MUHAMMED, YOUR NEW IMPORTED GODS.

THEY CAME PREACHING "FORGIVENESS OF SINS" ONCE YOU "ACCEPT" THEM AS YOUR "SAVIOUR".

IN OTHER WORDS, LICENCE TO TURN CRIMINALS AND LOOTERS WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION DOES NOT BELIEVE IN "FORGIVENESS".

YOU STEAL OR KILL, YOU COMMITTED AN ABOMINATION AGAINST THE LAND ITSELF, AND YOU MUST PAY, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE.

THE BRITISH KNEW THEY COULD NEVER GET THEIR WAY WITH YOU PRACTICING SUCH A POWERFUL SPIRITUAL SYSTEM.

THAT'S WHY THEY FORCED CHRISTIANITY ON YOU.

NOW, YOUR MORALS ARE GONE, AND YOUR LAND OF NOBLE CITIZENS HAS BECOME A DEN OF CRIMINALS AND SCAMMERS OF ALL TYPES.

Stop talking rubbish.

If you want to go back 100,000 years ago, we can go there. Black Africans were still the builders and pioneers.

The Black Africans are the first of all men. We civilised the world.

In your next door neighbour Sudan are over 250 Nubian pyramids dated thousands of years old, older than any building in Europe or America.

Iron smelting, the technology of extracting metal from ore using specific heating principles was invented in Lejja, Nsukka, where the world's oldest smelting site was discovered and carbon-dated to 2650 BCE.

Without Iron Smelting, you would have no phones, cars, planes, fridges, trains, or anything made of metal today.

The entire world would be in caves of the Stone Age.

That is why we tell you that BLACK AFRICA is the Cradle of Civilisation.

I guess you just learn the word "propaganda" newly,

Hence you don't know how to properly used

Well, I didn't bother reading the rest of your Jargons, once you termed my personal experience propaganda.

You can keep worshiping your egunguns, Isese and whatever, even though you and I know they are useless and babaric.

If not that they are the most fragmented religion ever - with every individual with their own idols and mode of worship,

They would have been worse than Islam.

None Muslims have been buying quran everywhere. Easily accessible and nothing happened to them. I can't even count how many Christians that have entered mosque, eat there and even slept there. SMH
That's probably the core SW exclusive of Kwara. It's the reason why many Northerners believe that Yorubas are not good Muslims or are too liberal.

Christians have been killed up North for touching the Quran which is regarded as desecration. In most cases, they were wrongly accused. The specific cases are available online. Deborah for instance was killed for a text message which had nothing to do with blasphemy as accused.
