Christianity Etc › 5 Strong Reasons African Traditional Religion Is Better Than Orthodox Religion by saintopus(op): 4:42am On Jan 08, 2015*

1. KARMA AND REINCARNATION[:
The mistakes of the Orthodox Religion of Christianity and Islam is their inability to teach their followers that "Cause and Effect " are very crucial and that one comes back to either pay or reap. This is very important in African Traditional Religion, which is able to curtail the evil and excesses of people. This is not so in the teachings of the orthodox religion which teaches that one need to believe to blot out former evil.

2. ATR DO NOT LOOK FOR FOLLOWERS
Africa Traditional Religion do not scout for followers. To me this is a strong point because why bother to sell a product people know of its importance? If not that you habour something of which you want to benefit from why go out for Jihad or Crusades and envagelism.? "No matter the advert placement on indomie, it can never outsell garri "
3. EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY :
African Traditional Religion promote speedy justice to be carried out. Justice delayed, they say is justice denied. This will curtail corruption in our polity. You can imagine if our politicians are made to take their Oath of Offices before the shrine of their village deities instead of with the Holy Bible or Holy Quran. Corruption would have been reduced drastically.

4 VERY ECONOMICAL TO PRACTICE :

African Traditional Religion is very economical to practice. No need for expensive temples, mosques or churches to be built. To take someone to its court, you need few pieces of kolanuts and local gin. Little wonder therefore it is called "Poor man Court "

5. GOOD FAMILY VALUES ARE ENCOURAGED :

Marriages contracted under African Traditional Religion seem to be more effective than our current orthodox religious marriages which are gradually becoming something else. Marry today divorse tommorrow.!!! Good family values of respect for elders and those in authorities are practiced in ATR.

Feel free to refute or agree.!!!

dey are solving problem in a wrong way.
D sacrifices they demand for are full of evil, eg human being blood, goat blood, killing of twins and so on. dey are demonic bro. And evil.

Not all require human blood, goat blood etc. Some use herbs and chanting of various names of Gods to get a better understanding of the problem. You see, African Traditional Religion today lacks credibility because it was not written down in a holy book. Worse, the advent of the influence of foreign religion finally erode the little history and relevance of the ATR. Most of the Actions of the Gods or gods of the Old Testament are not different from African Gods. The different perhaps was that, theirs was written down on a "holy book " while ours was not. African Gods like Amadioha, Ogun, etc. are real to the Africans and their worshippers as much as elohim is a valid God to the christians.
To this end, African have been solving their problems time immemorial using their ways.

Unfortunately, I had expected much from the opposition in terms of both Maturity and Capacity to use Propaganda to exploit every opportunity exposed by PDP's obvious distraction from the voice of Nigerians.. instead APC is towing the line of intimidation and the threat of violence - not unlike GMB... alas her true nature is slowing coming to the surface

In fact they should go ahead to form a parallel government. It will only benefit civil servant. You can imagine in Rivers State, Dakuku Peterside as APC Governor will pay his salary for APC Government, then maybe a week later, Nyesom Wike, from the PDP Government will now pay another salary. That will be ok na!!!
Useless politicians with poor political idealogy.

Every man must give account of his actions.

When they say "CHANGE "! They do not necessarily mean a change into better leadership and sound qualities.! What they actually mean by "change " is the personality and not good and sound leadership capabilities which to them is microscopically insignificant!!!

So you support the killings? Well, it is OK, but one minor and clueless comment : No matter the level of killings, it is the common man that suffers! It is not Mr President and his family members that suffers. Politicians will always have a way of settlement! Whether they are OBJ, IBB, Shagari, Amaechi, Tinubu, Osibanjo, GMB etc is inconsequential. There are two things politicians crave for :Power and Money, the later being the greater of the two.!! So if you feel killing one another in a suicide mission will remove those two very important aspect of Nigerian politicians then you have to visit the Psychiatrist! No need to abuse, insult, kill or maime to see the quest for power of any politician. But you can still choose the bomb!! Which is still not a bad idea, it is up to you. Good luck!!!

No problem

May I ask you

How many SW states and LGAs have paid Oct Nov Dec salaries

Don't worry

From March get ready to experience

Fuel scarcity and no salaries

Pls plan your protest big time

Really there is no need telling them of this truth. They are all aware of this truth. More especially their leaders. Two things a politician love most: Power and Money! The greatest of the two is money! Because with the later you can get the former. I pity our youths who do not know this secret! One more minor secret : Politicians always find a means of coming into compromise! So who lose at the end? The poor! So when Mr. President state in various forum that his quest to be president does not worth the life of anybody, I see that as the height of sincerity!!! Microscopically and insignificant few politicians will not tell the poor masses not to fight to see that their wishes come to pass.
Therefore the best way is to keep quiet and watch events. No need to insult, abuse, fight and kill one another over anyone quest to power!

Tinubu:
Discouraging importation is no doubt, the best way to attain economic development

Less importation= more demand for local commodities = encouraging local enterpreneurship= more employment opportunities.

However,

Inasmuch as supporting local industries is praiseworthy, quality control shouldn't be taken lightly.... The Standard Organization of Nigeria, and other quality standard regulatory agencies should become less of a bureaucratic rubber-stamp, and rise up to their responsibilities of ensuring public safety, and commensurate value for money spent

But, with this Otueke fellow

I just sense that the sole purpose of this increase in duties, is to add more fuel to his looting jamboree..... We are yet to recover from the fuel subsidy removal scam, missing billions, etc, and he deems it fit to still assault the Nigerian public again.....

You were on point in your first few paragraphs, then you change to political, then to name calling an expression of hatred!!! Then the whole post becomes highly illogical. You cannot eat your cake and have it!!

Politics › BREAKING NEWS: Tambuwal And Kwankwaso In War Over LGA's Fin. Autonomy by saintopus(op): 10:48am On Dec 28, 2014

The stage is now set for a political row between the Hon. Speaker House of Representative Alhj Aminu Tambuwal and his political counterpart in the APC Gov. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State as guardian can reliably gathered In a briefing by the Hon. Speaker in the matter, he stated that, “Our attention has been drawn to a recent media interview, where the governor of Kano, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, gave a lot of misleading conceptions about the Seventh House of Representatives stand on local government autonomy among other things.

“The issue of local government autonomy, as far as Nigerians are concerned, is long overdue, arising from our public session as true representatives of the people. Our constituents do not agree with the current status, where local government funds are being pilfered by governors, including Governor Kwankwaso, at the expense of the people and chairmen, who are seen as mere boys for the job.

“I challenge the Kano State governor to tell people of his state and Nigerians how these funds are managed in Kano since he came to office. We would certainly not accept a situation where governors turn themselves to demi gods in the name of joint accounts. It is only in Nigeria that an elected governor of a state would speak to the media frontally, eroding democratic ideals of which he is a beneficiary.

“It is saddening to note that local government elections have not been held in some states since 1999. I wonder what sort of government states are running. Kwankwaso should realise that the current unitary federalism that is being propagated by him and his colleagues is responsible for the high number of anti-graft cases against governors on corruption.”

The word "idol " is used very often by European and the whites to describe African and other black nation and the Carribeans type of God. African traditional religion lacks backing by the Europeans because it was not written down in a Holy Book otherwise, we could have considered gods like "Amadioha, Ogun oduduwa etc, as Gods too. Come to think of it, most names of Gods written down in the Old Testament are just like African Gods.
