Baptism Of Satan In Africa Analysis
Mind-Blowing Questions

“There is only one culprit in the murder of any Mother by her own son – not the dagger, not the son’s hand, not pathological disorder, but the driving force behind it all.” McBoafo F. Annku

The Baptism of Satan in Africa came into the offing when I was halfway through “The Dialogue on Africa and Underdeveloped Countries”, the fourth chapter in my recent volume, The God of Prophet TB Joshua and Genuine men of God in Retrospect. In that volume, I endeavoured to re-echo the essence of existence. The incomprehensibility, capabilities, LOVE, and “wickedness” of GOD were also investigated against many fundamental philosophical questions.

The Baptism of Satan in Africa emerged strongly amidst many mind-blowing questions.

The first intervention was to stop dehumanizing Africans who were sold into slavery to work and develop other continents. That was followed by stringent moves to decolonize Africa. The decolonization process gradually led to the agitation for self-rule, which was actually initiated by the likes of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of the republic of Ghana. With the attainment of self-rule, it was the belief of Ghana and, indeed, all independent African states that the fortunes of Africa would change for the …show more content…
Perhaps, the very first we shall consider is the identity or the substance of Africa. What is Africa? Why is Africa considered the richest continent in natural resources and yet the poorest continent in the world? It does seem Europe, the USA or China can “survive” comfortably without Africa. In other words, what is Africa’s contribution to the lifeline of the world’s economy? Why are thousands of Africans seeking greener pastures in Europe, the USA, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and China? Did GOD create Africans as slaves to serve the other continents? Why is the African living at the mercy of Europe, the USA, and China? What is GOD’s plan for

    It is pure torture for a mother or father to see the man that took away from them, something that can never be returned, their child. “He walks the goddamn streets,” (103) Matt says. Matt did not think that the justice system would release a man like this on bail. This murderer is now tending to his daily routines without a care in the world, while the victims of his injustice helplessly watch. They watch as the killer of their child is shopping at a local grocery store; Buying skirt steak and quart of two percent milk while they wait in line to buy flowers for their dead son’s tombstone. Watch as that same man, who has shattered a mothers bond, is enjoying a Saturday afternoon at a local barbershop for his weekly high and tight haircut. “It’s killing her,” said Matt. Dubus writes “she can’t even go out for cigarettes and aspirin” (103) without seeing him. Not only has he killed their child, he is now killing them indirectly.…

    terminally ill. Pedro Lopez was also kicked out of his home after his mother caught him fondling one of his own little sisters when he was eight years old. This has led to offenders on blaming their mothers for their behaviour and it could explain why they target women. ‘Dr. David Abrahamsen, who has written extensively about the “murdering mind” (to use the title of one of his books), maintains that the crimes of psychopathic killers are invariably rooted in their unconscious need to “take revenge” upon their rejecting mothers’ (Schechter, The Serial Killer Files, 2003).…

    Europeans explored and exploited Africa for a variety of reasons. They did this to spread christianity, to civilize the African people, to gain wealth/power and to fulfil the need for slave labor in the New World colonies. Europeans wanted to spread christianity and they did this through the 4 C’s which are christianity, civilization, commerce, and last but not least conquest. The Europeans converted Africans to christians to get rid of paganism. They set up churches, medical clinics, and urge about the end of slave trading. Europeans believed Africans to be paternalistic and by introducing them to christianity they felt this would better them. They exploited Africa for…

    “It shows Africa's struggles with the reality of evil. In Africa, the "witch" is the most powerful image of what not to be. Thus Christ is a non-witch, an anti-witch, a witch healer or doctor, a physician who has power over the powers of evil” (Georgen 6). In other words, Africans believe that Jesus or Jesus the witch doctor understands how to handle a witch or, by my own inference, Jesus understands how to handle humans at our absolute worst and has the power to heal us at our…

    Since 1993 both male and female rates for committing murder have declined. Between 1976 and 1997 parents and stepparents murdered nearly 11,000 children. Mothers and stepmothers committed about half of these child murders. Sons and stepsons accounted for 52% of those killed by mothers and 57% of those killed by fathers. Mothers were responsible for a higher share of children killed during infancy while fathers were more likely to have been responsible for the murders of children age eight and…

    While geography affects Africa, it will only keep the continent separate from the rest of the world. Plus, the slave trade across Europe is probably going to take any unfortunate soul from their family. For what I see, Africa is likely going to turn into ruin because they are vulnerable to outside forces like the Portuguese or Muslim traders. Their influence is going to rid of Africa’s native culture and replace it with something unfamiliar. Look at Abdul and how his family practice Islam due to its simplicity than their ancestors. Perhaps in a couple hundred years or so all of Africa will lose their culture and assimilate to foreign…

    Before Africans were brought to America during the slave trade, they had their own culture and society. They had their own language and dance. They also had their own religion. History tells us that the Europeans justified their abuse toward the Africans as helping them become more civilized because the Africans lifestyle appeared primal to them and not as developed and industrialized as theirs. What is often overlooked is that even though Africans were taken from Africa and Americanized and have been stripped of their religion, culture, language and even their name, the very essence of the African as a people did not go away.…
