@pastor next time, think before you type. You are not the only one that got the white man's education cuz one way or the other, we all did. As for me, I am a revolutionay. I want to give the African man a sense of belonging. A reason to stand out in America and say his native name without shame. But today, you church people have spoilt everything. Evrything have been westernised. A man went to baptise his daughter in the church. When asked of the name he wants to give to the child, he said Onyinye. The clergy reprimanded him and they settled at Gift. Gift and Onyiny are still the same meaning. Is this not ignorance? Sort it out for yourself.

Kay 17:

Back to traditional worship? Back to ignorance, darkness and blindness. Back to human sacrifice? Its some 18th century poo, that is deservedly extinct.

Life is like a book, the more you read, the more you learn. When you discover knowledge, you change and upgrade to the better and that is what I call REFORMATION. It is everywhere and not just in African Tradition. Do the Jews not kill adulterous women in those days? Was it not ignorance, darkness and blindness? But Christ reformed it. Did it stop the Jews from practicing Judaism? Abraham nearly killed his only son in the name of sacrifice. So, we no longer endulge in human sacrifice because we have reformed.

Not only Igbos, Al African , sir please speak of all African dont be base on one tribe ok, that sounds like tibalism

I can see you are observant, I give you kudos for that. But if you were more observant, you whould have noticed what I said in the last line, " SO, MY FELLOW IGBOS AND AFRICANS, IT'S TIME TO GO HOME". But the reason I emphasised on Igbo is because I am an Igbo man, and I understand my culture better than any other culture. So, thanks for the correction, and as a reward, I'm heading straight to your blog.

Pastor AIO:

It would be nice if you could tell us what Igbo traditional religion comprised of. Just as there are thread on Ifa and Orisha traditions. Why don't you start a discussion on the ins and outs of Igbo religion rather than make a thread that is more about the politics of it.

I don't know if you are a real pastor or just fronting by putting that title to your name. I didn't post that topic for intelectual and logical reasoning. Rather, I wrote it because it's what I believe in. Talking about my being political, there is no way you can talk about religion without being political. Who were those that conspired against Christ and had him crucified, were they not the Chief Priests? The highest ranking people in the church. Contrary to what you or your kind may think, Pontius Pilate and Herod have nothing to do with it. So, the conspiracy that got Christ killed was political and it was planned by religious leaders. Why did England pull out from Rome, was it not politcs? I won't go into details on that cuz you of all people ought to know that, since you claimed to be an intelectual. Francais Cardinal Arinze would have been the Pope today if not for the black skin. Why was that so Mr. Pastor, politics. Let me stop here for now and give you a chance to redeem you dignity and honur as an African, that is if you have any left. Whenever you so called church goers see us, you will think we are illiterates. Bring it on Mr. Shakespare and this particular "illiterate" here will take you on it cuz I am by far, more learned than you think.

lagerwhenindoubt:

on a lighter mood i think some Ibo gods were very entrepreneurial, sentencing people into slavery by way of Arochukwu oracle who swallowed you up only to sh.it you out on a Slave-ship headed for the Americas. 

and who are those that benefitted from the slavery? In those days, even the so called bishops have slaves. They claim celibacy but have many concubines. Even before priests began to marry in England, many of them have kids and "wives", they only have to make their wives official after pulling out from Rome.

Sweetnecta:

^^^^^^Abeg boy shut up. Who said to you that if you die unjustly, ignorantly that you will get 70 or whatever virgin in Paradise, instead of going to Hell for your wrongful killing of yourself along with others?

And religion is not the holding back of Nigeria or Africa. Ignorance and lack of national agenda and love of self are part of the reasons we are backward.

We dont manufacture. We only consume. We dont use our brains. We keep it new and fresh, unused always. We are not aspiring to greater things and we dont have a collective purpose to eradicate evil from our mist. Instead we become frustrated and instead of beating them, we join them.

Religious beliefs, right guidance or wrong can shape man in a good war, if we are conscious of the goods we must pursue for our brighter future, leaving behind a great legacy, progressive foundations and dynamism for future generations.


We can blame religions, but ourselves. japan and other asiatic nations are by and large disbelievers based n any of the three monotheist religions. Yet japan is a first class nation. Why, though they are disbelievers? The reason is that each is contributing to the progress of japan. They are thinkers and doers. Unlike us who lack both. If a person were to start up an engineering company for research and development and every day living products, somebody will be intending to derail him. This is one of our cronic problems. lets work together as one, regardless of our religion or lack of one. We are in the same boat; lower or upper deck, it matters because we will sink all together.

you know I am saying the truth, we let religion cloud our mind

the VC is just another idle mind, Another Mecca brainwashed, educated fool, Another stupid Almajiri. Why can't this people stop imposing their religion on people? It's okay if you don't want to hug, but let others be. If God doesn't like it, then let Him fight for himself. Period. Religion ko, Sharia ni

hey guys, there's no cause for alarm. Nobody is a rebel, we are just saying our mind. Religion has destroyed Africa. Americans are deveoping their world and we are busy killing ourselves all in the name of inheriting 70 Vs in heaven. Let us enlighten ouselves, get education and live like normal human beings.

I'm not saying Christianity is not okay but Igbo traditional religion is not bad irrespective of what the colonial masters made us to believe. When the Christians or Catholic honour the white men and make them patron saints, why can't I honour my fore fathers. Christians mould images of their saints, why can't I mould the statue of my fathers?
Or is the sainthood only reserved for the oyibo. I'm an Igbo man and I love my culture and religion because it is who I am; and without it, I am nothing. So, my fellow Igbos and Africa, its time to go home.

What do you expect from a man who comes from a poor background and suddenly bump into fame and stardom. The fame and stardom will actually bump into his head and this is what actually happened to Idibia. One of the reasons being that he lacked good up-bringing.

uplawal:

@viaro,and what u just said now is false,Allah never promised Believers hell but Al-jannah,so get that straight,so you've admitted the fact that christianity will take you no where but hellfire,so why are you still in there,i tell you desist from satan,and its ways,it will be better for you.

Or have you wondered about another joke from the bible that  says in genesis,God was looking for adam in the garden,now tell me,how can the omnipresent,be looking for or searching for his creature?he couldnot have been blind now,or do you tell me God is subjected to hide and seek game,or best still hes not sure where hes own creature could be at that time?
the Quran have the answers to all your problems,its either you accept it or you dnt,but you will see the repercussion later for not accepting it

you muslims love to insult Jesus everyday but just a drawing abt muhammed in Denmark, u started killing innocent Christians. I' ll give u a lil bit of what u gave me, after all is it not an eye for an eye? We all know that Muhammed is a terrorist who shove Islam down people's throat. I heard someone saying we all worship the same God but it's a lie. Uplawal, my God is not ur God! My God didn't tell me to kill my fellow human being whether a believer or not to inherit 72 virgins in heaven. Since u are a woman, I guess u are going to inherit 72 male virgins or probably female virgins and practice lesbianism there. I guess u are already fuming by now cuz u muslims don't know how to take a blow below the belt. But I' m not through with you yet, since you asked for it. I got one NEWSFLASH for u, THERE ARE NO MORE VIRGINS IN HAEVEN! So stop killing people! I guess u are fuming right now and feel like bombing something. Well, go and bomb The nearest mosque to u. Make it suicidal cuz the 72 virgins can't wait to rape u! Muslim Bastards!!! No hard feelings but if u can't take a blow, don't hit!

Beaf:

Yar'Adua and Jonathan are President an Acting President of Nigeria not Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba, North, SE, SW or SS.

is that what you think? Those men are there for their tribes. It's the truth and you know that. So, why are you covering up? Can u just tell me where u came from so I can know how to start talking to you. If you are a Northerner, don't even think about replying!

The Yorubas have no right to talk here. Let the Igbos do the talking for it was they who fought the northerners. It was because of them that the White man handed over Nigeria to the Northerners. The Yorubas always stick with the King. The Niger-Deltans were confused during the war. They failed to recognise their heritage in the sense that they weren't  there when they were needed. If salvation is going to come again, it's coming from the East. This time, we won't fight with guns, we will fight with our heads cuz our heads do not bow to no man! Igbo kwenu!!!

Iwu might be an Igbo man but he was installed there by a Yoruba man to do his bidding. So, Iwu is not the problem, the problems are those pressing him like a button. Guess who they are: Yoru to the bas!

I' ll do for him the same thing he did for me. If he prayed for me, then I will pray for him. If he wished me well, then I' ll wish him well. Everyday, I hear seven point agenda on TV and radios but I don't understand the meaning. The agenda does not include health. And now, what goes around has come around. So, let him feel the wrath of God! No hard feelings Sam, it's the truth.
