VIDEO: When The African Preacher Get Shouted Down By The Irritated White Passengers on A Bus

Religion

From BrutallyUncensored.Com

I imagine whatever happened on this bus is quite like when an ordinary person walks down to the sea shore after the fishermen have brought in the catch; and then tries to sell them some fish!

Ahh, it’s nothing like that; but I thought it was a funny analogy anyway.

One of the great mysteries (not really) in the world right now is how Africa has become the world’s most religious continent? And when I say religious I mean adopting the religion of others; such as the religions of the conquistadors who came onto the continent with the Bible (or the Quran) in one hand and the gun in the other.

They came and subdued us with their superior technology, but also with their talk of a God who was the one true deity. They shattered our identities, our cultures, and shaped it the way they wanted; and several decades after they left we continue to gladly tread down the path laid for us.

It must have been the Archbishop Desmond Tutu who once passed this great comment; “When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said “let us close our eyes and pray.” When we opened them, we had the Bible, and they had the land.”

Matter of authenticity aside, it is a great quote encapsulating all that needs to be said about colonisation. And since most African countries gained independence, we strive to show everyone how intent we are on separating ourselves from the misery of past subjugation, we try to fight neo colonialism; but in the one area, that runs every aspects of our lives (religion), we continue to cling onto them like a drowning man to a plank.

We do not like to admit it, even to ourselves. I earlier described the fact of the persistence of the white man’s religion as not much of a mystery because Africans are credulous to a crazy extent. And we do not like having to give up our deeply held beliefs, and its Christianity or Islam at this point.

On a bus in London, an African preacher was trying to share the ‘word of God’ with the passengers. A man and a woman were not amused, and tried to get him to shut up so they can have their piece of mind.

The preacher tried to talk back for a while but realised the futility of it. Like the hypothetical layman in our opening scenario selling fish to fishermen; this is a guy hailing from the continent that were told of the fish at the shore, and is now turning around to be the chief fishmonger.

Being someone who suffers from the nuisance of public preachers myself, I could not help but chuckle a bit. And no one around attempted to dig their nose in where it does not belong; in Ghana you would not get a word out against the preacher when the entire bus would label you the devil.

A huge chunk of the world is moving towards secularism, or at least to the point where religion does not matter so much anymore; and this includes people in countries that fought to spread the gospel worldwide, including that former empire where this little exchange took place.

We would do well to follow the trends.

I don’t know how this short video inspired 500 words. Watch it below…

White Passengers Fight Black Preacher on London BusFrom BrutallyUncensoted.ComWho is right? The black Christian preacher or the white angered passengers? The irony is, white people brought Christianity to Africa and here we have an Africa trying to sell it back to them on a bus…Perhaps, they are saying, man we invented these messages so spare us your noise making,

  1. This is just fantastic. Africans are the only ones trying to be more catholic that the pope. I found it amusing that he tried to cover up his embarrassment my muttering hellujah under his breath. It takes guts to try sell the same bollocks to the people who sold you the bollocks to begin with. He’s fortunate he want thrown off the bus. What sort of madness drives people to attempt this in Europe? I hope he get thrown off the bus the next time.

  2. Chris have you been to Dalston market and seen the Muslims preaching there about how to overpower all the unbelievers? Have you seen the Atheists adverts on the London buses?

    • I have not been to Dalston market recently—and if that happens, it is equally a public nuisance. Yet, you can walk away from them while they preach—in a bus, you are stuck on it and you won’t be expected to get down because of a preacher’s nuisance.

      Atheist ads on the bus is legal, I have seen several Christian ads on buses and on billboards too—same as condom ads. I don’t think anyone is asking people not to advertise within the law but to take the law into your own hands because of your religion or product is what every reasonable person should be against.

      If a scientist got on the bus without permission from all the passengers and the authorities and started talking about the cosmos or something like that, every reasonable person would be expected to kick against it. That is what reasonable people should do.

      Are you telling me, we should allow preachers on buses and trains in 21s century multi cultural and secular Britain?

      This man should have been thrown out of the bus quickly: we live in a society govern by laws.

      And the irony is, he was trying to sell a pork to the pig farmer. He wants to tell white folks about Christianity or the word of God when they brought it to your ancestors in Africa? Interesting and yet you can miss the arrogance soaked in ignorance.
