The earlier we africans come to the realisation that religion is one of the tactics being employed by the oppressor to remain in control all over Africa the better for us all. We Africans just have to pinch ourselves so we can get back to our conscious minds. It baffles and breaks my heart so bad that even in 2012 Africans still can't figure out what are problems are. Please people, let's try to start looking at the problems we Africans have been dealing with broadly cos that's the way we can start finding our way back to redemption. Now, i'll try to breakdown all these madness of the so-called Boko Haram in relation to the battle between the westerners (The White people) and the middle-easterners (Arabs). According to history, the entire landscape of Africa was more like a kingdom to the African people. But today, that's not the case, we're falling apart cos our land has been adulterated by White folk and Arabs. Now, places like Egypt and Sudan which represent the very beauty and intelligence behind our early civilisation have been taken over by foreigners. The truth they say is bitter, but still i believe it has to come out whichever way it can. One of the major reasons we are living in a deadly division today in Africa, is because most of us have been brainwashed by either the two players that have decided to make Africa their Chess-board. Let's be realistic for once people. The religions that we are so eager to kill and die for are not ours. Christianity is the White-man religion, just as Islam is for the Arabs, Buddhism, Folk religion and Taoism are for the Asians. I dare to say that almost 99.9% of the African people today don't have the true knowledge of themselves. I don't really care whether or not you like what i am saying but i believe it's something that needs to be said. And i also believe that true consciousness comes with a sound knowledge of self. How can we make a substantial progress as a people if we don't know who we are? How the hell can we live together as brothers and sisters in peace when our minds have been Islamicized and christianised? These questions are begging to be answered. Africans are supposed to be Kings and Queens and Princes and Princesses, at least these were what our ancestors were. The Boko Haram sect is just another victim of religion and i believe they need psychological help. We must know this as people that religion can never liberate Africa. The painful fact is, the pursuit of righteousness cannot be achieved by any religion, for religion itself is as dirty as politics. Peace and love y'all!
Very nice piece. Imagine the way people on this forum are insulting themselves over a foreign religion used to colonise, enslave and impoverished the continent.
