Controversial singer and instrumentalist, Seun Kuti has claimed that his family started Anglican Church in Nigeria.
He said that although the Kuti family brought Anglican church to the country, he is a traditional African (juju) worshipper and not a Christian.
Seun’s Kuti’s grandfather and great grandfather, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti and Josiah Ransome-Kuti respectively, were Anglican ministers during the colonial era.
The Afrobeats singer said despite his family’s role in propagating Christianity in Nigeria, he is not a follower of the religion.
He made the comment during a recent episode of the Spill With Phyna podcast, where he urged other Africans to return to African traditional religions.
Seun Kuti said, “It was my family that started Anglican side of Christianity in this country, if you look back at it. We are among the pioneers.
So, we’ve been there, we’ve done that and we’ve moved on. And we hope Africans can follow suit. I don’t go to church. Na juju me I dey do.”
The truth is you can’t force anyone to believe in a particular faith. That’s a personal choice they have to make themselves. Every person out there has the right to choice on the faith they believe in. All we need to do is to pray that they encounter God and move close to him.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
