Chapter 42 - Chapter 42 : How I Became A Christian

I was born in a monogamous family, my parents wasn't that much committed to going to church until they gave birth to me and some of my siblings, There was this deeper life church Infront of our house then, just directly opposite our house, we as children we do go inside the building to go and play after the church people has dismissed, as a child I could tell that my mother wasn't going to church, but a point I began seeing myself in the midst of the children church, but I wasn't still seeing any of my parents, but lately I realized It was my mother that use to take me to the church as a kid, to a Point my mother began picking interest in attending a church too but it was not the deeper life church, there was also another redeem church just beside the deeper life church still opposite our house, and it happened that the pastor In the redeem church is like a family friend to us then so they were always coming around to our house and discuss with my mother till they began picking interest in me, gradually I joined their church as a kid, my mother will always dress me up on Sundays and send me to their church, I was always a smart intelligent kid in everything, wether manual labour or intellectual competition I was always there, so it's very much like saying everyone loved having me around and it's still happening till today, to cut the whole story short that was how I became a Christian, there's African adage that says, " A child who his parents send to go and steal does not have time to check for the window, he will just break the door once" I employed everything that I have in me into going to the church that is supposed to save me from the powers of darkness as they said, to a point it became a rule in my house that you must go to church on Sundays and if you dare disobey that my mother's order then you are indeed in a very hot soup, no one will save you this time from my mothers punishment if you don't go to church, even though my father doesn't go to church at all for once I've never seen him, he's neither against going to church nor against going to join the village people in their traditional practice, of course he was never against it, he made sure he did everything for me, he did everything that every igbo male child should do as an ancestral practices, I am a complete son of Igbo land in Africa, I have performed all the traditional rights as a male child in Africa, my father did that great thing for me, that was how I was able to hear from the spirits, those are the privileges we get from being involved in the traditions of our land that can not be forgotten, Never, Time is the only thing that will prove everything right and prove everything wrong, Our tradition can not be forgotten completely, even though it looks as if it has gone extinct completely in some part of Africa, truthfully nothing can extinct our tradition forever, " A time will come when the traditional practices of Africa will be the talk of the whole world" A time will come when the freedom of Africa will pause everything other affairs in the whole world " The freedom of Africa is a sure game that must play correctly, there is nothing like a mistake in the freedom of Africa no matter how long it takes, it must surely come, colonialism is already outdated, colonialism is already antiquated, one day the seal of approval for the colonization of Africa will be shattered and Colonialism will be completely washed away from the entire face of the earth, one day colonialism will be totally flushed out of the English dictionary because what it stands for is only injustice and tyranny so one day justice will be made, one day justice will be given to those people who has fallen a victim of this atrocities committed under the oath of colonialism, What I'm not so sure about is if we would repay them evil with evil, or if we would just take our freedom and overlook them, but however, one thing I'm so so sure to many people who have suffered from their wickedness will not let them go unpunished, their atrocities can not go unanswered, one day they will all pay for the atrocities committed by their evil ancestors that they contributed to elongating it, Anyone who's hands are in this evil will not go unpunished, they must face the wrath of God Himself, they can escape the punishments on earth but surely they can not escape from God, what we are simply asking for is what our God gave us directly to enjoy but it has been hijacked by some white men centuries back but since it has been managed by different kind of people, different stages, but the same evil purpose, some group of people are still carrying on that wicked mantle from their ancestors, some group of people are still controlling that rule today but one day it will end, it's something that was supposed to end centuries ago but however it has lasted as long as it could but I promise you one day it will be over, there should be nothing like colonialism in Africa till this 22nd century .
