“A #Yoruba man travels to #Brazil and encounters a #religion built from traditions that people back home in #Nigeria had learned to distrust.

The experience forces a question: how did Yoruba religion survive the Atlantic but become estranged from the people it came from?
…
“Both #religions were foreign. #Islam arrived earlier, through North African trade and political expansion, and captured my grandparents’ generation. That made them chief imams. #Christianity came through organized missionary infrastructure and later Pentecostal revivalism. That made my parents pastors. What this meant for me was a near-total estrangement from any #indigenous Yoruba #religiousSystem; despite growing up in a Yoruba-majority state in Nigeria, speaking the language fluently and understanding most of its social codes.”

Why Do #Cultures Adopt the #Religion of Their #Oppressors?

How long does a colonial religion take to feel like an ancestral truth? Chidume in Nigeria questions how his culture adopted #Christianity after its imposition by the sword. The hosts discuss shifting baseline syndrome and generational normalization.
