Religious Propaganda Against the Traditional Religion of Africa (The Ancient igbos)

It was a rape of culture, belief and norms. It was a terrorism of traditional heritage and the emergence of an alien religion based on inferiority complex and background.

I took time to study into my traditional religion and I found nothing absolutely wrong with it.
Its not just Christianity but Islam too, both are middle east concepts and myths one propagated by the Arabs and the other reworked by Europeans and sold to Africans.

Before the missionaries came, African had their own religion, culture and tradition. we had our own little way of science and technology. . . They had knowledge in astrology, mathematics, music, medicine, biology, simple physics and many more.

e.g: Ancient igbos successfully divided the year into 365days of 4day in 1 week and 7weeks in one month and 13months in one year.

The foreigners came, they brought with them many magic like never seen before, they had a fire stick that can kill at just a click unlike our manually operated bow and hand thrown spears.

They had boxes that talked and then they laid claim to a better knowledge and we swallowed it. Its not wrong acquiring knowledge all round you but denying yours is the problem.

They criticized our Gods and termed them demons and evils but they said the one they brought was the best and the good one.
They threatened us with a place of forever burning and the end of the world and we fell for this fear.

It makes me wonder; How the African Gods that never threatened anybody with hell and end of the world was the bad one while the one they brought that derives pleasure in such threats is the good one.

They blamed us for a sin supposedly committed by their own mythical ancestors, they told us we were evil and bad and worthless that is why we needed to saved from what their God will do to us if we fail to believe it and leave ours

They raped our culture and our ways, we lost ourselves in the blind notion of seeing the light.

Fela Kuti said; Go to china, Vietnam, Korea. . "their culture is their teacher". Majority of
Chinese are Buddhist or other Chinese traditional religion only a few are Christians or Muslims. The ruling party Huans do not believe in any religion.

The Chinese style of writing remains the main mode of writing even for their mobile phones and computer. The same china was colonized by Britain, they embraced civilization but never lost or abandoned their ways and culture.

But Africans carry other people's myth and beliefs in their head like it concerns them more while subjecting ours to neglect and abandonment.  An average christian can tell you the geneology of Jesus down to what ever but cannot mention his own genealogy to his great grand father, same way an average Muslim know more about Muhammad than his own ancestors.

If the missionaries had packaged and brought Greek mythology here (God zeus)instead of Jewish myth. Africans would have still believed it exactly same way they hype Christianity.

Until we rightly identify our cultures and our ways and make a stand to preserve them, we would always be lost in the vacuum of other people's culture.
