As expected, Spiricoco will become the enemy. But we will offer some clarifications and leave you to judge: 1. AFL claims he is an apostle. That is a heavy title. It means what he does will affect thousands of Christians. 2. AFL invited this man not to debate, but as an expert. The synopsis of the podcast said: "This discussion explores the psychological impact of colonialism on African identity, culture, and self-perception." 3. This very man, brethren, left Christianity because he believes “White Jesus” was used to oppress and subdue Africans. He calls Jesus “this boy” and said the Bible is a European tool of oppression and is in the process of writing his own Bible. He called the Bible a “polluted and Euroized word of God.” 4. This is the man an apostle invited to “awaken” Africans? This man, who himself is supposedly “awakened,” did so by renouncing the faith and going into caves to start worshipping nature. 5. The ex-Christian who rejects the Word of God, the Son of God, and worships the creation instead of God, is the one to awaken Christians and is hosted by an apostle? 6. What is going on? How are we the only ones seeing the danger here? Have we all gone blind? How is Spiricoco the enemy for pointing out what we believe is a real danger? 7. Finally, there is nothing new about colonialism, slavery, or conquest. No single race or people should be held solely accountable for all of human history. Slavery was a human sin, not exclusively a “White man’s sin.” The first commodity humans traded was people. During the time of Paul, more than 40% of the population in many regions were slaves, at any given time. There was no industrial economy. Labor and commerce largely depended on slave systems. So, many societies had slaves. Africans sold fellow Africans into slavery. The Trans-Saharan Slave Trade sold around 10 million Africans to Arab buyers, many of whom castrated enslaved males. The Barbary Slave Trade enslaved around 1.2 million captured White Europeans. Yes, Africans enslaved White people too. In the Transatlantic Slave Trade, around 12 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic, with African intermediaries participating in slave capture and sale. The Indian Ocean slave trade moved millions of enslaved people across East Africa, Arabia, Persia, and South Asia. The Arab slave trade operated for centuries across multiple regions. Lastly, millions of Africans were enslaved and traded internally among African kingdoms. Why are we saying all this? Because many who identify as Pan-Africanists use these horrific events to argue that Christianity was uniquely responsible for these crimes. That is why many of them are not Christians, like David Hundeyin; and they discourage many from continuing in the faith they believe contributed significantly to abolition movements. Lastly, the world has greatly healed, thank God. Africans are embedded in virtually every global institution. Look at sports in Britain: there are Nigerians like Madueke and Bukayo Saka playing at the highest levels. There is also Kemi Badenoch, who could potentially become Prime Minister. We are saying these narratives may harm people’s convictions, and an apostle should not be the facilitator of fellowship with people who may lead Christians away from the faith. This is our position. And we still stand by it. God help us all. Amen.
