Ask yourself this question.

Do I really exist?

Then you will know if the Gods exist or not

You know there is a difference between God and gods.
Believing God exists is quite different from believing these gods exist

Religion has eaten up everything including English. Haaaa!

God is not a proper noun and does not need capitalization. It is a tag or better put a title. Anything can be God if it has features and measures of what person call a god. Do you capitalize a particular king while you leave others in common/lower case? Nope. The reason why you dont do this is because King is a common noun which is denoting a class of objects or a concept as opposed to a particular individual. There is a king in the chess game, villages, cities and even among the colony of insect. Do you capitalize the city King because it is Bigger? Nope. Why, because it is not a name of any particular object or person but it is a tag or title for a post.

Common noun from the dictionary is a word (such as “singer,” “ocean,” or “car”) that refers to a person, place, or thing but that is not the name of a particular person, place, or thing.

Fela Anikulapo, Lil-wayne and Vector are name of a particular person which is proper noun and needs capitalizaion. Being a singer, you dont need to capitalize the word singer unless it start a sentence.

Jehovah, Thor, Krishna, Sango and Obatala is a proper noun which should be capitalized but they are all classed under the common noun 'god'.

Let me pick the bible to show you they aint different but mean the samething.

Exodus 22:28

KJV reads; Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

ESV, NIV and lot others read; “You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

Look at the bold closely, one refer to gods while the other refer to God. In the same verse, the bible refer to same thing but with different word which shows that the words mean the samething.

All you know is from the bible. Do you know more than it writter who cant differentiate gods from God but use both to refer to samething. There are lot of examples in the bible but I will stick to this. Adding, do you know what God mean in that verse?

Maybe we need to go back to NOUN, god cannot be capitalized because it is not a proper noun. Abi, is God the name of your God? Does your God not have name?


I don try for you Madam. God and gods is the samething. It is religion that brought mis-capitalization inside an innocent word 'god'.

I believe God exists... but gods Dts a different story entirely

Pagan9ja pls softly on her.

Madam, you are a God in some religious concept. The bible acknowledge that ye is a God. Do you disbeieve in your existence?

I really love this post , Educating us about African gods. I wish the origin of this gods was well detailed , with pictorials/images of each god. it would help me understand better what really this gods are about.
going through the post, i saw some of the gods where referred to as "sky gods", and am sure most of them if not all came from the sky, which makes me to think , the gods may have been astronauts from space that visited earth in the remote past, because most of the gods came from the sky, they were worshipped as sky gods e.g i can remember in social studies class, ...Oduduwa came down to earth on a chain from the sky... & started life on earth etc.
Has anyone wondered if "Sango" & "Thor" could have been the same being, but represented differently by different eyes/minds(cultures).

I was going to label this thread a fallacy if I hadn't seen AMADIOHA in the list. for the other gods I no sabi them

Is Amahodia the only God in Igbo culture? I asked some Igbo friends to tell me about their cultural gods and to my suprise they dont even know it. Amahodia is the most common and only one know after Chukwu. Mind telling us about your deities?
