Our Ancestors were not fools.
When strange or bad things happen, they ask God questions and look for a solution, they don't thank him.
When they want food, they go to farms they don't go to pray in their shrines.
When any of them commits sin, he is punished to deter others from doing the same, they don't tell God to forgive him.
When they want money, they sell their farm and fish products or anything they learnt how to produce, they don't pray to God to give them.
When they are sick, they go to an herbalist or make use of herbs and roots that can cure the sickness, they don't wait for miracles.
When they want a wife, they investigate the would-be in-laws, they don't pray in the shrine for signs and wonders.
When one of them dies, they come together and bury him, they don't calculate and request the payment of his shrine levies before burial.
The village Chief priest has his own farm and works to sustain his family, he doesn't wait for tithes.
Their wives respect and call their husbands Nna anyị (Daddy) and not the chief priest.
Our ancestors never built a big house or a wealthy shrine for their God and live in trenches, rather they built poor huts for Him while they live in wealthy houses with a large compound because a God doesn't need a house he live within and around you. #afrique #black #africa
