Africans were built to be strong-willed, resilient, and stubborn in nature. When the white men came and told our ancestors to do something, they did not simply surrender their minds. They consulted the Ifá oracle and listened carefully to what their spiritual traditions told them. They trusted the wisdom of their ancestors and stood firmly by their convictions.
The white men became curious about this deep-rooted strength and the spiritual systems that guided our people. And over time, foreign religions were brought to Africa not only as matters of faith, but alongside systems of colonial influence that gradually reshaped how many Africans understood themselves, their history, and their ancestral traditions.
And here we are today, millions of Africans deeply devoted to foreign religions, while many have become disconnected from the spiritual traditions, cultures, and ancestral knowledge that once defined their identity.
This is not a call to hate another person’s religion. It is a call to remember who we were before we were told who we should become.
Because a people who forget their roots may grow tall beneath another’s shadow, but they may never truly know how deep they were meant to stand.
We must learn our history, honour our roots, and reclaim the right to know ourselves.
