@Simonquinlankify your just a dickhead go on your nazi sites scum like you are pathetic excuses for he human race you sub human degenerate, inbred twat.

[tonyisho]

@Simonquinlankify: you mean like your hero, Hitler who molested his niece Geli Raubal?

Mbiti (1990) defines African Religion as

"The product of the thinking and experiences of our forefathers and mothers that is men, women and children of former generations. They formed religious ideas, they formulated religious beliefs, they observed religious ceremonies and rituals, they told proverbs and myths which safeguarded the life of the individual and his community" (pp. 13 - 14).

[Biafrans7]

Whoever says that all beliefs and norms within any particular culture or religion are right? Of course, born from ideas and borne by faith, its supposed total sanctity is an attempt to perfection. The imperfections should be sought. Christianity as presented by Jesus Christ is perfect but not its practice by claimed adherents. Your question on Christian origin lacks dignity so will not elicit an unequal answer.

[uchelike]

According to Biafrans7, "Christianity did not originate from Europe." Can you inform us where Christianity originated?

[tonyisho]

@uchelike: the books tell us Jesus was born in Nazareth, present day Palestine (not Europe).

[aawwaadd1234]

specially Hausa in Nigeria, they are a part of Nubia, in northern Sudan, they have in the past the greatest civilization on the river nile, one of the big similarities between them and Nubia people, artichecture, color, rythem and melody, color and many. Hausa are creative people.

[goldenismonica]

i really dont get what you mean. but anyway i hope its educational and not another stupid ignorant peice of shit!

[ereola3]

Arab and European were only two evil people on face of earth that enforce their way of life on fellow humanbeing. How can you distroyed value, culture mind on other human just because of egocentric and greedy. Why God accept Islam, Christianity. and refused other people ways of life. That is abosolute Lie. Go and what this two major religion have done to our continent and people. The continent where everything began have now leave in confusing. Because of mind that poluted.

[goldenismonica]

i like the news reporter's earrings!

people call us africans stupid...but its the europeans that came and corrupted us and turned us into what people call "stupid uncivilized people"

the europenas come and corrupt our land and then they want to turn around and talk crap about us.

[LiveEudaimonia]

I absolutely agree with aljoon1981

[ereola3]

[omoibile]

Well said!

[aljood1981]

i always wished , my fellow african understand one fact:

1: why did europeans colonise africa?

2: who stand behind all civil wars and terrorim in africa

3: where do the rebels and killers recieve weapons and fund from?

4: why do ueropeans and thier tails, think , we must practise thier own way of life?

5: where did the tails get this misguides from?

can any bosy answer me?

[Biafrans7]

Aljood, The grievous crimes of Europeans, past and present, in Africa, had been and still are utterly condemnable. Equally the crimes of Arabs, Islamist Jihadists and their kind. European violations of Africa does not excuse Arabs' and Islamic crimes of Jihad(violence against the innocent). It does not excuse the violation of fundamental human rights. We all have ways of lives that there justifications are, rightly, challenged daily. It is about human conscience; RIGHT and WRONG of Issues.

[omoibile]

Thank you for the question, I too await the

answer

[aljood1981]

in dis vast world

god created people of different shapes, colours,cultures,way of life.

why must people others think, we must follow thier own way of life?

we say no to secularism , and any ism practised by others,,,,,

we said yes to islam and only islam,,,

let's have it plz

[sexymalcom1970]

wise words from a wise man

[Biafrans7]

Under Sharia Law, Islamic religion, government and Law are one. Islam does not accept a secular constitution which requires the separation of state and religion (meaning one should not run the other) unlike Judaism and Christianity. Religion: Is it by Force or by Choice?

[aljood1981]

hi

a very good morning

shariah rules only muslims, it is our best and first choice,,,,,,,

did any body impose it on you?

further more

we never need any body to teach or show us ,,,,,,,,,,,his own way of life

it is our choice

allow us a smooth breath please

[Biafrans7]

aljood1981, Islam remains a religion that spread by violence and intolerance. It spread through the massacre of many for being non-believers. Mohammed fought 48 wars and only one was defensive; married an eight year old girl. This is an abomination! Advocate the division of Nigeria so you can practice it on your own. The effects of Sharia is also seen in the effects of Hausa-fulani oligarchy in Nigeria -- utterly destructive and disastrous in 48 years. All elections and census rigged.

[queenceezy]

I am not in support of any religion however I will like to point out that Europeans used Christianity and the bible to enslave our ancestors. How many of our ancestore were lynched, burned alive, raped, et al?

All religions fought wars Christianity included.

[Biafrans7]

queen, I agree in part. Chritian doctrine never recommended its dissemination through violent conquests but Islam does. Lets accept where there is an abuse and where the fine print is erroneous. The European crime against Africans is an undeletable fact. African spirituality has also suffered myriad errors. Culture is transitional as live is. Everything African is not necessarily right.

[aljood1981]

what a suprise

muslim basically chose the islamic law,,

let's us have it please

it is our choice,,,

dont u think we have d legal n natural rigth 2 practise a religon of our choice?

my friend

can we have that, and only that please

[queenceezy]

Judaism, Christianiyt and Islam are all aliens religions. They are not ours, they do not belong to us. Stop trying to make it seem like one is any better. All thes religions were used to enslave us and they continue to do so to present day.

[galadima85]

I love the part where dan masani comments "although we are not been able to produce atomic bombs or to manufacture planes, cars...we have contributed tremendously in the movement of art and taught n civilisation generally"

A mans culture is his identity anywhere he goes, iinrespective of race or color, n i feel proud to say this is a part of my culture

[NajeebGalbeed]

Cool Eid mubarak everyone. Peace mama Africa.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

[satalar]

Eid mubarak all Nigerian and African bros and sis :)

[jabzulani]

That is absolutely true, we shouldnt lose our own cultures even though we have foreign religions we should keep our culture.

[madina55]

@ jabzulani. That is not a foreign religion. It is for every humanbeing on earth. And yes culture is good, but cultures that conflict with your religion isn't. It just keeps a person confused and on the path of doing innovation, and ignorance. Let's see on the day of judgement how these so called cultures would help people. Nothing wrong with culture, but some parts of cultures need to be abandonned for sure.

[jabzulani]

Madina55, I have the opposite opinion, I think that religion should be abandoned, there is too much conflict that is the result of religion. Throughout the world and history its been quite destructive. I think that religion is an outdated philosophy that just meddles with our lives.

[queenceezy]

Indeed!!!

[queenceezy]

Islam and Xtianity are indeed foreign religions. We had our own Afrikan Ancestral Religions b4 the coming of the Arabs and Europeans. If you have found peace in either of the religions, then thats good and fine... but for some, our culture is everything. We love it and we adore it and we wish to preserve it even though it has been adultrated and pushed to the background. The Arabs still hold dear to them their traditions and cultures but the Blackman is so lost that we r neither here nor there.

[Biafrans7]

The Christian areas of Africa fought the Europeans for their freedom but the Islamic societies embraced and swallowed Arab culture, hook, line and sinker. Christianity did not originate from Europe. Again, no culture is perfect. I say, take what is right and drop those that are foisted with ignorance, those that lack efficacy.

[Pokhton]

Eid Mubarak !!

[oceanbound222]

Eid Mubarak !!!

[mariettaga]

LOVE IT!

The Elder was RIGHT lose your CULTURE and you are truly LOST!

[nuttierthanthou]

in that case, we're all lost, because all cultures change over time

[mariettaga]

Yep, what a shame

[queenceezy]

Cultures DO evolve but that doesn't mean we should reject our own traditions to embrace other people's. And this is exactly what is happening with Black people. We have no knowledge of self but we know everything about the European or Arabian way of life. We have subscribed to the lie and consspiracy that Afrikans are uncivilized and barbaric. And this is one of the main reasons why we are so disintegrated, divided, confused and so full of hate for our own.

[Biafrans7]

European civilization and culture are almost all imported over the centuries. They claim its theirs but actually not, at least in origin and natural structure. Civilization originated in black Africa yet the term, "Western Civilization" is often applied to import its global origin and dominance and less its perculiar hemispheral model. Blacks in diaspora have the opportunity for the knowledge of self today, even facilitated by the Internet and they are gradually learning, as we all are.
