Reclaiming Heritage: A Call For Africa’s Conscious Choice

September 21, 2023 2:03 am

As the continent with one of the richest tapestries of spiritual, cultural, and religious diversity, Africa stands at a crossroads of identity and legacy. The staggering rate of globalisation and the proliferation of global religious faiths, often at the expense of indigenous traditions, creates an urgent imperative: Will Africa sustain the kaleidoscope of its rich cultural fabric, or will it yield to homogenisation?

It is a fact worthy of note that as of 2022, Christianity and Islam were the dominant religions in Africa, with 49% of the population identifying as Christian and 27% as Muslim, according to the Pew Research …

Hope Uzodinma: The Worst Roguish Nigerian Governor

September 21, 2023 1:54 am

In the sprawling tableau of Nigerian politics, one often finds a medley of figures who manifest characteristics ranging from the tragic to the farcical.

The Illusion Of Prosperity: Faith Vs. Human Flourishing

September 18, 2023 2:30 am

At the crossroads of tradition and faith, Africa finds itself enmeshed in a complex web of spirituality, economics, and cultural identity. As towering minarets and sprawling megachurches punctuate the skies across the continent, the narrative of spiritual abundance often overshadows an unsettling truth: the exponential rise in organised religion has both a cost and a consequence. Megachurches and grand mosques are not just edifices of faith; they are economic juggernauts that amass considerable wealth and social influence. Yet, their ascendance comes at a time when over 40% of Sub-Saharan Africans live below the poverty line, according to World Bank statistics. …
