Before the Europeans came to Africa, we served our own gods.. there was no islamism or Christianity.

The coming of this so called missionaries led to the abandonment of our indigenous tradition and religion for the pursuit of alien religion and culture.

Our religion was painted dark and ungodly and we fell for it, we forsook the tradition of our fore fathers for that of the white man.

The same "missionaries", the so called messengers of God, saw how easy it was for the black man to be deceived, because if he could forsake his own faith for another on the basis of a perfectly crafted book (Bible) and stories, there is a definitely a chance to control and influence their general way of life.

They brought the bible, bicycles, clothes and took with them our Gold, silver, iron and slaves!

Fast track to our present day, people in Africa still depend on the white man God for social amenities, finance, infrastructure, good governance, security and so on. Ironically, the white nations have significantly abandoned the same religion they once shared leaving the African continent stucked in the illusion of religion.

It is no mistake that while, the western world progresses on all parameters as it relates to politics, economics and social sectors, the impoverishment of the African continent increases on a larger scale. Religion was intentionally orchestrated to influence and redefine the thought of the black man, leaving no room for originality.

Nigeria is a case study, a country where the number of churches and Mosques is significantly higher than industries. A country that accounts for more than 40% of the entire religious population in Africa, but yet high crime rate and other immoral activities are the order of the day. A country where people decide to go to churches and Mosques to pray for wealth instead of obtaining 21st century skills to emancipate them from the threshold of poverty.

Back to the crux of this discourse, the fact that we abandoned our religion in pursuit for a foreign one, goes to show that as black people, we aren't capable of creating a formidable, superior society embellished with our norms and tradition.

This kind of argument no dey tire una. Is it not funny that you people always choose to ignore the major technological breakthroughs brought about by the White man's civilisation but always focus on the religion they brought. Since they left you people to manage yourselves, how far? Even Ethiopia that was never colonised, how far with them?

See, until you do your own personal inquests and get your own answers from the father of all Spirits himself, you will keep on arguing on behalf of other people's opinions and intelligence..

I believe in God through Jesus Christ and have no regrets. I cannot be cajoled into shifting grounds no matter how bad they make Christianity look. You know why? I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES, CONCRETE DIVINE EXPERIENCES THAT NO MAN CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. Seek Jesus Christ with all your heart and you will find genuine answers no man can gainsay or fault. Quit playing religion my brother...

Op is clueless

so didn't we abandon our backward means of operations to accept western technologies and political system..
if their technologies and democratic system we adopted is better than our backward methods then what makes u think that their religion of love isn't better than our demon worships
