“Africans Won’t Go To Heaven” – Seun Kuti

Controversial Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has questioned the traditional portrayal of God, particularly the concept of a “white God” often seen in Western and religious views.

In a recent episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, Kuti criticized this depiction and expressed his doubts about the idea of an all-powerful deity who constantly watches over human actions.

In his words;

“I don’t believe in God in the concept that the Western and Abrahamic religions portray God as their own white God”.

This their own God, if he was living with us , nobody will like him; someone watching you every time and telling you what to do? 5000 years on the throne with no election?”

“Just spend 15 years on earth on the throne and hear your people start complaining, ‘Oga when is the next election.”

“He also didn’t like women, every bad thing that happened in the Bible was because of a woman, Eve, Delilah, Jezebel. If you close your eyes and you imagine your God as a white man with white hair, beard and a white robe, you’re lost.”

“Revelations has already made it clear that African people would never make it to heaven. Only 12,000 people from the 12 tribes of Judea, that is 144,000 people, would enter the real heaven.”

“The rest of you will go there to serve in the temple. So slavery has already been secured for you again.”
