Nigerian man shares thoughts on religion, says entrance into heaven should not depend on religion

A Nigerian man has taken to social media to share his thoughts on religion and the ideas surrounding heaven. The man identified as Mustapha Abubakar had shared his thoughts on his Facebook page.

The man had expressed that if gaining entrance into heaven depends on religion the process of religion is rigged. He noted that it simply means that some people would inherit the chance of going to hell.

According to the man, if Islam is the religion that grants access into heaven, and one is born into a Christian home, the chances of the person going to hell is high. He added that in some cases it would be hundred percent.

Abubakar further stated that if inheriting heaven is in play, it means that the concept of heaven and hell is pointless.

"If heaven exists and gaining entrance is dependent on one's religion during life, then it's safe to say that the process is rigged. It is even more rigged than the Kano elections. To begin with, there's a MASSIVE influence of circumstances of one's birth (COB) and early years on one's eventual religion. This is so powerful that one of my Professors in London once referred to religion and language as non-genetic heritable traits. So, if, for EXAMPLE, only Muslims are going to heaven, then by creating you into any non-Muslim family, God has essentially ensured that your odds (chances) of going to hell are exceptionally high. In fact, this is almost 100% in some cases. Conversely, if, for EXAMPLE, Christianity is the 'right' way to heaven, then the system of inheriting heaven has been rigged in favour of those born into Christian families and societies.

The question then will be, given the supposed finality of hell or heaven (we are talking about eternity here!), and given the powerful influence of COB on which religion one ends up to be, can heaven or hell really be dependent on which religion one professes?

There's something awfully too simplistic about this dichotomy, which has continued to plague humanity, pitching one group against another, that doesn't sound right to me. Also, should it really be about the (religious) group and its doctrines or about the fundamentals of what it means to be a decent human being on this planet?"

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
