'Who knows Jesus is white?' - Old video of Burna Boy speaking about the effect of colonialism in Africa surfaces

An old video of Burna Boy speaking about the effects of colonialism in Africa has resurfaced.

Burna Boy who was speaking in an interview with Clique Television in 2021, shared how African children were thought about colonialism in schools.

In his submission, he explained that children are never taught about themselves as Africans but rather the Queen of England and Lord Lugard.

The award-winning singer further said that, school children are not taught how Europe invaded Africa and called them slaves when they met them as kings.

According to him, this teaches about the West was an indirect programming of the black child.

The ‘Last Last’ hitmaker noted that in many households, they hung on their wall, a picture of a white Jesus when no one knowns the skin colour of Jesus.

“Some people came here and lied to you, took the crown off your head and told you that you are a slave when really, they met you as a king. They don’t teach us that in schools. They don’t tell us about ourselves, they tell us about you guys and they tell us about the Queen of England. They tell us about Lord Lugard, that’s an indirect programming of the black child in Africa from school. Almost every other household you walk into in Nigeria, you see a picture of white Jesus. Who knows that Jesus is White?”

This video shared on Instagram by blogger, Tunde Ednut has received several comments about his remark, with many applauding him.

shakar_el: I can’t hang no picture of white Jesus on my wall , I can’t be black and he will be white

kie_kie__: The one that will continue to amuse me is primary and secondary schools punishing their students for speaking their own language, they say it’s vernacular. So? What’s wrong with that.
Many many years after, an average adult can’t even speak their mother tongue fluently. To now even make it worse, most millennials and Genz thinks speaking your dialect makes you local or less to then. Pathetic

b.am.i_9: Our history is white washed. Showed us a picture of a white man and told us he died for our sins.
They came and took our resources and told us that our reward is in heaven. If heaven was real will the slave master want to be in the same paradise as his slave.

aghacisse_9: The white took everything away from us...Wiped away our history and never thought us about the black movement, but about themselves...And making us blacks not to know our history and who we are.. We are black and naturally we are kings and queens...Black is human race

kenepisode1: And they punished us for speaking our languages in schools

digital6ix: This is an African thinking like an African!! Kudo’s

twizzy121212: The truth is there’s a lot to learn about African history, we all know the western world have no good intentions for Africans, they come to Africa take our minerals, natural resources and print papers called money in exchange

prince_ilobekemen: I laugh at those who called Themselves BLACK and want racisms to end. The problem started with the definition of your skin colour. that’s because you accepted to be call BLACK you’re not black and they are not white. Who named you black ? They. Who told you you’re black? How did you know you’re black? And they associate everything black as bad. Blackmail, black cat, black sheep, black day, black magic, black list e.t.c and you shine your teeth and accepted to be call Blackman.

realsusanpeters: Mansa Musa, one of the greatest in Africa . But am sure most Africans don’t know him oo . Deep truth
