@Saint Vincent:”Of course. We shouldn’t throw away our culture and roots, he is right.”
DAN THE GREAT 👑:”True . Depends on how far one goes though”
@Dandy_Jnr:”African with confusion when it comes to worship. Why would you claim your worshipping a creator and created”
@SASUKE OF LAGOS:”I didn’t know @YulEdochie have sense like this.. People have strayed away from the connection that granted them life and identity. I still blame the fake preachers of Christianity for helping the C∅l∅n!zers to demonize their traditions/culture and family. Your roots keep you firm while you branch out.. cos “You won’t know where you’re going to until you know where you’re coming from”
