Religion, believe it or not, is one of Africa's biggest problems next to corruption and poverty. While there are many religions outside the Abrahamic faiths, the Abrahamic faiths are the most widespread and most disastrous to the African mind.

Here are reasons why Africans should never follow these religions


1) All the prophets of Islam, Christianity and Judaism are not from Africa but the Middle East;
Why would you follow a religion that tells you that God ignored Africa and chose his prophets from the middle east? Is God now afraid of African prophets or are we inferior.


2) These religions accepted the slavery of Africans
Islam and Christianity arrived in Africa through slavery. The Arabs came to the Kanem Bornu empire (which is partly in Nigeria) to take slaves. The Europeans/Americans got slaves from West Africa. Judaism supports slavery in certain forms. A slave that accepts the slavemaster's religion is a slave forever.


3)These religions destroy African culture
Are Hijab and Niquaab the cultural dresses of Yoruba or Hausa women? Why do we give our children Jewish and Arab names instead of Nigerian names?

Victor Moses
John Mikel
Abdulsam Abubakar

Are these African names? Yet, our best and brightest in Nigeria bear these names!


4) Abrahamic religions keep Africa backwards
Against abortion, against evolution, against contraceptives, against gay rights, against freedom of speech (balsphemy laws), against feminism etc


5) Abrahamic religions enrich foreign countries
-Pilgrimage to mecca and jerusalem
-catholic churches in Africa sending money to Rome
-Buying bibles and books printed overseas with overseas authors and printers
-Pastors buying private jets which are serviced and maintained in dollars




AFRICANS, BE WISE.

Hahaha, so fucking true, but gullible Nigerians will never listen

Few listen. Even if it is 1 out of 100, it is still something. Many are now waking up to the failures of religion. Can't you see how pastors are disgraced weekly on social media?

You made valid points, most especially concerning the issue of slavery and destruction of our own cultural beliefs

indigenous African belief systems are limited! that's why they could easily be uprooted by invaders who offered alternatives that appeared to be superior

And those are the most painful points. Why should one follow a religion that enslaved their forefathers?

Hausa culture has totally been replaced with Arab one

they only retain traditional beliefs that were not in conflict with the religious tenets of Islam! Even in Christianity, you are allowed to still practice your tradition as long as it doesn't contradict certain rules (Acts 15:29)

let me tell you the truth...as far as African tradition is concern., we can never depart from our belive system.... The Christian Yoruba adopt Yoruba tradition and Christianity together ...Churches like celestial or cherubim and Zion are all following Yoruba spiritual system in adittion with their Christ teaching...likewise Muslim.....tijaniya and the rest all have a flavour of African spiritual system in them...

there's was a certain level of demonization of African traditional beliefs when foreign religions became established here! Yes, there's a flavour of traditional beliefs, but it does not go further than that. The real thing has been relegated in favour of modernisation that came with foreign religions

which causes major set back in Africa..if Africa will developed then our culture will play a bigger role...take japan and china as a case study....

Yes, African traditional culture and religion are important but we shouldnt overestimate it. There is a limit to culture.

Well actually, the same can be said of the West. Christianity and Judaism were Abrahamic religions not Western religions, Western religions such as the Greco-Roman pantheon (Zeus, Poseidon/Neptune, Hades, etc.), the Norse-German religion (Thor, Odin/Woden, Loki, etc.), Celtic mythology and other religions were "indigenous" religions of Europe prior to the spread of Christianity and Manichaeism. Zoroastrianism was the major religion of Persia and Iranian lands prior to the spread of the Muslim Empire.

Christianity reach parts of Africa in the same way, particularly in the East, but while the West is stepping past Abrahamic literalism, most of Africa is chained to it.

Why?

Just to correct some misconception up there..

the term Abrahamic religions (except Islam, Eastern Christianity and Judaism) are often used in lieu of using the East and West terminology.

Western culture itself was significantly influenced by the emergence of Christianity and its adoption as the state church of the Roman Empire in the late 4th century and the term "Christendom" largely indicates this intertwined history. Western Christianity was significantly influenced by Hellenistic religion (notably Platonism and Gnosticism) as well as the Roman imperial cult. Western Christianity is based on Roman Catholicism (Latin Rite), as opposed to Eastern Orthodoxy, from which it was divided by the Great Schism of the 11th century, and further includes all Protestant traditions splitting off Roman Catholicism from the 16th century.


Not untll 19century that the west adopt all form of neopaganism....


Abrahmic religion has been with the west since the past 4th cantury...so it has become their identity.

Which of our culture wasn't preserved?

point the one that was preserved! most things varnished because of westernisation

There are shinto shrines in Japan even though most Japanese have left that traditional religion. These shrines are now tourist attractions.

While we in Nigeria destroy our shrines in the fear of witchcraft and superstition.

Just look at the setting. Our own shrines look so dirty, scary and unkempt ? I've been thinking, who would preserve cultures when infrastructures are poor, standard of living is zero etc Let's develop these areas first
