“Challenge humbly accepted I reaffirm my denunciation of CHRISTIANITY and acceptance of EGBESU WORSHIP,” he wrote.

“I have denounced my Christian faith in the past but I am happy to do it again .

“My name is BODMAS PRINCE KEMEPADEI, I was a joyful Christian and a believer in Jesus Christ, but I woke up from my sleep, and realized that I have been duped by foreign myths plagiarized and remodelled from my people’s customs and practices.

“I discovered that the foreign myths sold to me as Yahweh, Jehovah, Mary and Jesus, is actually the story of Ijaw spiritual tradition of Woyin, Egbesu, Agadagba and her arch divinities, who was and remains the supreme creatress of all life.

“I believe this Ijaw story was stolen and later remodelled as Christianity and forced down on our people to accept, after demonization of their beliefs.

“I believe that our people had known God before the invasion of the westerners.

“I believe that our people worshiped God and God related to them before the introduction of Christianity and other Western practices

“I believe that in a bid to colonize us, our practices were demonized, our father’s were forced to accept Christianity while they exported our sacred totems overseas.

“I believe that God will not judge us not according to our beliefs but by our deeds.”
