Religion or tradition

Just to be in the clear, I'm not against any tradition or religion, this article is only to point out things based on my point of view

These days we have thousands or churches, mosques and shrines in our community infact churches are now more than houses and schools which I feel it's not meant to be so.

Now we must have in one way or the order seen things in either our churches or mosques that we believe it's not meant to be so but because it's traditionally right, we believe it should be right also as a part of our religion.

Some Christian churches have turned their church into a tribe church, that is you won't find another ethnic group in their church except for their own. Let me cite an example, you'll hardly see an Igbo man pastor a CAC church, not only because of the difference in language, of course they can bring in an interpreter but no, they believe it's only meant to be pastored by a Yoruba man

Same way you'll hardly see an Igbo man as a muslim because they believe that religion is meant to be for another trible entirely.

Religion has now turned into a tradition.

We can hardly see an Hausa man in any other religion apart from Islamic religion, not because he was born into it, but because he now feels like as a part of his culture, he must follow that particular religion.

Then this fact has now turned into hate that we no longer like and respect our fellow human, we now see Pastors hate on Alfa because they're of different religions. They'll never greet themselves and mostly wish for each other's downfall, same way they'll bring their children into the beef and they'll end up creating a society where there's hate and they'll be no forwardness.

I don't want to go deep into the spiritual aspect because I'm no Spiritual person but we've seen instances where by an Alfa is seriously flogging a lady because she didn't kneel to greet him, he's flogging her because she didn't greet him as an Alfa. But it's not meant to be so,he should have corrected her as am elderly man not as an Alfa, there are tons of vidoes out there showing things like this.

I go out daily just to see 2 elders of different religions beefing each other and letting their hate spread, we have some friends who are the opposite religion as us and they're scared to invite you to their house because of how their parents will react.

Same way this religion and tradition misconception have ruined lot of marriages today, we see when a woman marry a man and after about 7 years of happy marriage, the man then says it's their right as a man in their religion to marry a second wife just because his ancestors have been doing it, he now believes it's normal for him and his religion is also in support but the woman won't be in support hence this lead to a broken marriage.

We should learn to distinguish between religion and tradition because if something is right in our tradition, that doesn't mean it's right in our religion and we should learn to love and respect each other's tradition. Hopefully this way, we'll be more productive and end whatever conflict we have as humans. Let love and peace rule. Thank you
