God, in his infinite wisdom, made us Africans.
If He wanted us to be white, He would have made us white.
But He made us Black.
He made us Africans.
Our strength lies in our identity.
Sadly, we allowed Oyibo people to convince us that our ways are evil, that our religion is evil, and we agreed.
We allowed so much Western influence upon us, and we lost our identity.
And by losing our identity we’re losing our strength.
Show me that God that told Oyibo people to go about and force their religion upon others.
Show me that God that told them their ways and religion are the best.
Africans want to be white.
We copy the whites.
We have made the white people a yardstick to measure our success, and by so doing, we are losing our strength as Africans.
White people should not be our standard of measurement.
They are whites, God created them with their own ways.
There is nothing wrong with copying a few good things from other cultures, but you must not lose yourself in the process.
If you do, you lose your strength.
We are Africans, God created us with our own ways, and we must maintain our ways, our originality, our tradition, our religion, in order to solidify our place in the world.
