THE WHITE MAN'S DECEPTION

-

 

Is Africa still in chains?

They painted the image of a white God in your mind, while the defeated devil was black, they deceived you, telling you that your Ancestors and Traditional deities were evil and devilish, they told you to abandon your root and Origin and become Christians and Muslims. Have you ever wondered why Africa is lagging behind, here lies the problem.

Whether you like to admit or not, Christianity belongs to the Romans, Islam belongs to the Arabs, Hinduism belongs to the Hindus and Judaism belongs to the Jews. All world religions were created based on the indigenous culture, heritage and tradition of the land they find themselves. It seems so absurd that many Africans don't see the danger in all of these, many have been defeated mentally and made to denigrate their indigenous religion and ways of worshipping their ancestors. The white man accused Africans of worshipping idols while they see nothing wrong when they worship images, symbols and individuals.

 Africans  knew and studied the concept of God, nature, the universe and the supernatural occurrences that left them in awe and wonder before the White man and Arabs came with their own version of God . One of such is the Memphite theology which offers us insights into the Gods of Egypt, the philosophy of ancient Egyptians, the culture and civilization of the Nile valley, etc. Before the Romans introduced their created Religion, Africans were worshipping the Supreme Being through the diverse manifestations of nature and the inexplicable events which beclouded their reasoning. Before the Mecca Jihadists spread a message saying; al-LAH is the only Supreme and one God, there had been beliefs among Africans in the existence of a Supreme Deity who was called different names like; Kalunga, Osanobua, Olodumare, Nyame, Ptah, etc.  

Therefore, it is expedient that future generation of Africans should study the African Traditional religions, they should devote time, energy and efforts in knowing the true African history so as to tell the African story to the world. Some universities in the United States are now offering courses on Ifa Philosophy, African Spirituality, etc. Africans must embrace our Indigenous Spirituality, rebrand, repackage and evolve it.

EDO(GREAT ANCIENT BENIN EMPIRE) DEITIES AND SPIRITUALITY - 01

  The Edo people(Ancient bini empire, a preisthood tribe) trace their indigenous spiritual sciences to the well known and ancient kingdom of Egypt. It is through Egypt that most African magic and spiritual sciences had its origin. Egypt; an African civilization, spread its spiritual sciences through the continent by traders, scholars and those priest that fled Egypt as a result of several invasions. However, this magic/medicine probably predates Egypt because it was already at a advanced level when it arrived there. From Egypt spread its spiritual sciences that manifested in one form or another in smaller increments to the rest of Africa and subsequently to the world. Therefore, it is through African spiritual sciences that one can get a closer view at the remnants of Egyptian magic. Edo cosmology is a unification of monotheism and polytheism. Monotheism because there is a high God (the universe) that is uncontested. Polytheism because there are lesser deities(gods) that emana...

AFRICAN COUNTRIES WERE EUROPEAN CREATION

    At the Berlin conference of 1884/1885 all European ruling houses and elites laid down their arms to dialogue amongst themselves on how best to rule, conquer and subjugate their  overseas colonies and investments in Africa. Prior to the Conference of 1884 and before the era of contacts with the European slave traders, Africa used to be a continent with diverse empires, kingdoms and societies, with each developing at their own pace. Never was it thought or conceived that members of the different Nations and ethnic nationalities across the continent will become countries in the future forcefully married together.  In Nigeria's case, it seemed absurd that Nations and races like the Yoruba, Igbos, Hausas, the Bini People, the Nupe Nation, The Kanem-Bornu Empire were all forced to merge under a single country. These peoples with diverse cultures could not have survived together, neither could they have settled amongst themselves, these peoples who were forced to become...

THE HUMAN EYE AND WATER: Water is the element that is used for seeing both physically and Spiritually,Our ancient Ancestors use water to see into Spiritual/elemental worlds,especially by using water through water pots or Calabash.Most Seers are from the water worlds.As water is used for cleansing and purification,the tears on the eye( which is birthed from the heart) cleanse the soul.on Earth,tears is the language of the Soul.our ancestors also perform certain sacred initiations and ritual rites beside and before seas,oceans, rivers,lakes and lagoon etc(Any water bodies).They give sacred sacrifices (ebo) to these water bodies, asking some personal needs, during rituals, purification or ceremony.The eye(s) is the symbol of enlightenment/awakening.literally and spiritually,when your eyes is closed,you means you are asleep and when your eyes is opened,it means you are awake.Most of the Seers are from the Water worlds.This is why the human eyes is made from water and patterned after the...
