@africandaily_x Our culture is our way of life, it's our heritage
English

@africandaily_x They colonians also made it look like we have no way of life even when our culture has been before their existence. One thing I enjoy about Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe is the fact that he made them know that our heritage and roots have been before the colony

Mental Slavery and Religion in Africa
By Kingsmart
Mental slavery is when your mind is chained even after your body is free. In Nigeria and across Africa, the strongest chain today is the way religion has been used to erase how we think about ourselves.
They replaced our names with their names
Before colonialism, an Igbo child was named okoro, a male child, Nwando, nkwo, Nweke. Those names spoke to our relationship, with ancestors, with the land. Missionaries told us those names were “pagan.” So we dropped them for John, Mary, Peter. When you can’t even keep your name, you stop knowing who you are.
They made us ashamed of our own system
What we called Odi na be ndi — the way of the people — was labeled idolatry, darkness, witchcraft. Our elders became “witch doctors.” Our festivals became “evil.” Our courts became “backward.” Once you make a people ashamed of their system, they will beg for yours, even if yours doesn’t fit their land.
They made religion separate from life
In Africa, spirituality was never separate from farming, justice, family, and war. It was all one system. The Europeans split it. You go to church on Sunday, then live under colonial law and colonial education the rest of the week. That split created confusion. Now we pray for what our ancestors would have built with their hands.
The chain is still in the mind
The physical slave trade ended, but the mental one didn’t. Today many Nigerians will defend foreign religious leaders more than their own history. We argue about which foreign book is right, while our own proverbs, laws, and knowledge sit in dust. That’s mental slavery: fighting for the prison that holds you.
Breaking it
Breaking mental slavery doesn’t mean hating other religions. It means knowing what was yours before they came. It means calling Odi na be ndi by its name again. It means teaching your children their language, their history, and their way of organizing family and community. A free mind remembers first.

A symbolic photo showing an African elder teaching children under a tree, with traditional symbols like the kola nut and umunna meeting in the background, while faded images of a church and colonial documents sit in the background out of focus. The focus is on the elder and children — showing the return to what was ours.

@Dasmelo_ @Jenna69302316 @EdehChinonso9 @Biggilody @433 Making memories with strangers is so easy when it involves football
English

@TrueQueen01 Yeah, that’s the point. You take those players off, the whole team is affected 😂
English

@EZEEMMANUELENI4 They become professional coaches directing from TV
English

@TrueQueen01 Especially when all the tactics they know all failed.
English

@JustLarryyyy @EdehChinonso9 @Dasmelo_ @Biggilody @433 True bro, same emotion flowing at that moment
English

@TrueQueen01 @EdehChinonso9 @Dasmelo_ @Biggilody @433 That’s why football fans sing club anthems and songs together, cos at that moment they are of one spirit
English

@JustLarryyyy These are legends on the pitch playing world class

@Biggilody Fact💯 football fans pretending to be professional coach
English

@TrueQueen01 Football fans: “I’m not emotional, I’m experienced.”
Also football fans after 7 minutes: shouting at the TV like it owes them money 😭
English

@TrueQueen01 Chelsea and their fans can never survive the embarrassment of this season
English

@TrueQueen01 I'd pick Salah, that Egyptian King is a monster whenever he plays my team 🤨
English

@DaborEliza79566 And it's hurts so badly when the outcome is disappointment
English

@TrueQueen01 that is right, at that moment all you could do is just accept your fate that it is it will either be to your favour or disappointment
English

@TrueQueen01 @EdehChinonso9 @Dasmelo_ @433 Football is not just a sport, it's the only language that everyone understands.
English

@DaborEliza79566 The pressure is real. Everyone either wants to brag about the team they are supporting or scared of their bet cutting ✂️
English

@TrueQueen01 true... it's even more than their mental stability, it demoralises them completely to extent of some fan will not get themselves anymore after that first early goal.
English

@TrueQueen01 Entering every game with the right mindset is paramount
English

@TrueQueen01 I could imagine what Chelsea fans are going through
English

@Afoke3030 @EdehChinonso9 @Dasmelo_ @Biggilody @433 It brings friends and foes together and everyone feeling same emotion
English

@TrueQueen01 @EdehChinonso9 @Dasmelo_ @Biggilody @433 Football is emotional glue for strangers, one goal can unite millions in joy or pain at the exact same moment across the world
