Religion is indeed a human construct. I have alsso been asking myself, where is african religion when talking about God? I feel that we have been cheated for long and the same continues with our brothers who inherited the church after the missionaries left(read after colonialism). Africans are God's chosen people and i believe God lives somewhere in africa. How comes we as Africans have never asked ourselves that before the missionaries came to africa, didnt we have our own ways of communicating to God? From the history that i have learnt while trying to unravel who i am, where i came from and where i am going to, one thing i have come to realise is that we Africans are LOST. religion plays a very central role in the development of an individual.Africans will never develop with borrowed religion.
I keep asking myself, is there heaven out there? Everyday i see people enjoying there life with all the luxuries that go with it and ask myself, will they enjoy the same luxuries up in heaven? My take is, your heaven & hell is right here on earth. Sometimes i tend to think that this idea of heaven & hell was conceived so as to deceive Africans to believe that there is a better place for them than Africa where they we born. They wanted Africans to believe in dying as a road to better life while their main interest was to take over there lands. I tell you, paradise is in Africa and until the day that Africans will realise that they are already in God's promised land, they will continue dying in maltitudes of disease, hunger and poverty. Africa is the richest continent on planet earth. How comes we are the poorest people? Let African dig deep into their past to uncover the lies that have been peddled to us for so many years?
