YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AFRICAN RELIGION, so SHUSH
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??!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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, 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

akakurukukaku:
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

MindHacker9009:
Jesus was invented by the Roman empire when they were occupying Isreal. For the few who are naive and trully beleiving and praying in Jesus name need to start praying directly to God Almighty.
Majority of those shouting in Jesus nane are into traditional and other means of spiritual powers

damosky12:
Rest, oga.

If not for the very intervention of Christian missionaries, you had very abhorrent practices in Africa. The killing of twins/infants, human sacrifices to gods, mutilation of body parts for fortification, violent intolerance of other faiths, violent festivals (like the ancient practice of órò), etc. are only few of these. Christian missionaries literally stopped the killing of twins amongst other primitive, hostile practices.

There's a reason why historians described the precolonized Africa as brutish. Of course, they had their biases. They aren't always correct. But you know as well as I do that many ancient African religious practices were nothing short of abhorrent.

And the whites aren't chasing your religion o. Those in the pictures are from Brazil, Cuba and other people with very close affinity to Yoruba. They aren't even proper whites.

How many whites practice this When they came to africa people were faced with slavery, caste system, human sacrifices and strange diseases. But some people brought medicine and a religion that didn’t require human blood. Missionaries who the supposed juju could not harm. Why won’t people go for that religion. Muhammad abolished traditional religion in Arabia. Today are they not progressive

freemindcity:
I wonder why a sane human being in this life would support the murder of children (twins) all in the name of african religion it pukes my stomach

Psalmistproject:
You believe that to your detriment!
In time of conflicts leaders starts forming allegiance. This allegiance is basically to get what they want not necessarily what their opponent wants. Can they tell Putin to first move his forces to where they were before everything started so they can discuss peace? So you see it's just a photo shoot for the public but the main agenda is not peace just business and control of territory.

Psalmistproject:
Never trust any White Man the comes to you with sweet news while carrying money, food or bible. They orchestrated a major plan to steal your soul.

Toosure70:
Is matter of choice and you can join them if you like. What special about them

PoliteActivist:
Your attempt at twisting history is ridiculous. African gods don't do forgiveness but they forgave those who stole them to Europe to the extent they are thriving today so much that we want to japa there..

Your attempt at revisionism is ridiculous. The whites bringing Christianity were not a monolith at all. Protestants called Catholics vile names and Mary worshipper and vice versa. All the govt was interested in is you could read and write English, not religion.

Another thing, we completely forget the vile things, terrible superstitions, and measure of cruelty that went with worshipping those gods

PoliteActivist:
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?

PoliteActivist:
Yeah, they were scared shirtless, that's why they bundled them up like firewood and shipped them to museums in Europe. Till today we are begging them to return our gods to us!

Jahwinaboy:
Okra and Ogbono mixed together

Ertugrul:
Rostikol please go and sit down with that yeye video that u don't even understand, because one professor makes a research, does that make it an absolute truth, see the jonzin youtube channel sef ....even in the video, it says that the African conquerors civilized the indeginous people, which means people were there already, the so called colonizers did not meet an empty land...
Watch the video first before u come start to the talk something wey no make sense

Creeper:
Lol, who’s this muppet?

Again: Naledi’s British English is impeccable.

If you don’t like it, suck yuh madda.

Take your sermon to your fellow Nigerians.

Creeper:
This looks good. Good move by African leaders.

I hope the AU would stand firm and condemn the treatment these people received in Poland yesterday. That was one of the most disrespectful treatment of leaders I have ever seen. And I doubt Poland has the balls to do it unitarily - the order came from Washington, London, Paris and Brussels. What happened in Poland yesterday is a lesson to idiotic Africans that are stuck on eating western diicks - they’ll always treat you like a monkey regardless of your status.

Putin and Xi are running circles around the squares of these inbred western leaders. By the time they’re done with the west - a lot of western countries would be asking for bailout from Africa, like Portugal did with Angola. You know their time is up when you start hearing phrases like, “attack against our values”, lol. The values they have: imperialism, following nazism by invading non-white countries and domination. They pushed their luck too far with Russia and this is the beginning of the end of their era.

Too bad Gaddafi isn’t alive to witness this paradigm shift in geopolitics, at a time when Africa needs a strong and boisterous leader. Ramaphosa of South Africa is doing a decent job but he tends to be too diplomatic sometimes. But I like Naledi Pandor - she’s Mama Africa - strong, fearless, articulate and her British English is impeccable. Hopefully, she’ll become South Africa’s president after Ramaphosa.

Africa would still be under colonialist rule if not for Russia.
