I will be willing to help the Christian church if it wants to reform its theology.
One of its major reformation will be to appreciate the diversity of Knowledge existing in Africa's natural science.
The reason I say this is because Africa's natural science coded in humanity's first information retrieval system called IFÁ, is being erroneously tagged "African Traditional Religion".
Religion is a myth that a people is made to believe in order for them to be easily governed. This is what Organized religion is. Africa's wasn't religion. Those who are called Òrìṣàs are not mythological figures, they are those who left actual knowledge of something that works. That is, Òrìṣàs are the inventors and scientists of the Africans. Obatala and Ọ̀rúnmìlà are the common philosophers. They are not merely mythological figures but also real human figures who evolved into Òrìṣà. I know this because these people left actual liturgy of their discoveries. It is what all the practitioners of the art of their Patron use as a knowledge guide into producing the same results that their Patron produced while on earth.
The missing link right now therefore is that younger people have to pick up this knowledge and interpret them to contemporary realities and see how they can create an economic advantage with that indegenous knowledge.
An Ayeta expert for example might want to explain to the contemporary mind how his creation is able to deflect the movement of a moving metal traveling at the speed of a bullet fired from the barrel of a 9mm.
Tens of Thousands of this knowledge abound in crude form today.
Although the Whiteman has known how to adapt Africa's indegenous knowledge for modern consumption because of his global outlook to life, the African still shrink at the sight of his own indegenous knowledge because of his myopic outlook to life. Talk of when a people neglect their natural competitive advantage.
It only means that these people don't know what is going on in this life. They don't even understand how nations develop.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
