RE: Traditional beliefs

Well let me indulge you a bit.
Christianity happily saved us from the harmful cultural practices but also introduced some impurities which turn out to be the culture of those who introduced it to us. I think we shouldn't have abandoned our culture for theirs, I think we took up their way of life and made a religion out of it. It shouldn't have been the case. We could have still been saved from our sins and still retain the good parts of our culture. The missionaries were in good faith tho, but totally eradicating our culture was not the implied meaning of salvation. I got a few light from China Achebe's there was a country and it educated my mind on how rich our cultural heritage really is, and how much wealth it should have attracted in our present day. But we sold it off.
