Uba Acho is a Nigerian man who lives in Leicester, United Kingdom and has bitterly criticized Christians after watching Black Panther.
He questioned why the Igbo heritage is being destoyed.
According to him, the actors in the movie used some Igbo/Nigerian
artifacts which are now being replaced by statutes of Virgin Mary and
Jesus and some also being destroyed and burnt in the name of religion.
Read what he shared below:
“My People Perish For Lack Of Knowledge.
“So on the 13th February 2018, I took my entire family to the cinema to see The Black Panther Movie, at a total cost of £112.
“At the end of the movie I came home, and during my daily
routine of thinking and reflection, it was dawn on me, that I paid £112
to watch my history and culture repackaged and sold to me. One of the
major cast #Killmonger in one of the set, wore an Igbo inspired mask
called #Mgbadike #Mask.
“Then I realised back home in Igbo land and across Africa, we
are busy burning these ancient artefacts, figures and figurines.
Replacing them with white Virgin Mary, white Jesus and all the European
ancestors they call saints.
“They brainwashed you to believe that an artefact is the cause
of your misfortune, hardship, poverty and sickness. And you believed
them without questioning or thinking for yourself.
“While we are busy demonising and burning #Mgbadike mask, arts,
figures and others, Disney films and Marvel Comics have made about a
billion dollar with it.
“While we are busy demonising and branding our heritage fetish,
evil, diabolic, the western world are busy researching them, preserving
them in their prestigious museums for you to pay to see them.
“My people, we’ve slept enough, wake up.
“N/B: I love the black panther movie, happy to see a people
that found value in what we have and a movie that brings a different
dynamics to Africa and black depiction in the Hollywood big screens. Go
and see it.”
