A new media aide to Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, Bodmas Kemepadei, has alleged that Christianity practice was stolen from the Ijaw deity and remodelled into foreign religion.
Naija News understands that the controversial journalist made the submission in a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, November 26.
Kemepadei made the assertion while reaffirming his denunciation of Christianity and rededicating himself to his native deity, Egbesu worship.
Stating his beliefs on the social media platform, the governor’s aide insists that the Ijaw story was stolen and later remodelled as Christianity and forced down on people to accept, after the demonization of their beliefs.
Kemepadei claimed that the Ijaw people had known God before the invasion of the westerners, adding that his people had been worshipping God and God had been relating to them before the introduction of Christianity and other Western practices.
According to him, salvation only exists in the exaltation of good character.
See Kemepadei’s reaffirmation of his deity worship below:
“I REAFFIRM MY FAITH IN WOYIN – THE MOTHER OF ALL CREATIONS.
Challenge humbly accepted 
I reaffirm my denunciation of CHRISTIANITY and acceptance of EGBESU WORSHIP
“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 worshipped God and God related to them before the introduction of Christianity and other Western practices.
“I believe that in a bid to colonise 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.
“I believe that the Ijaw principle as contained in the worship of Egbesu is an ideal way for the spiritual liberation of humanity and peaceful coexistence of all. I believe that salvation exists in the exaltation of good character.
“I believe that all humans are only Messengers in this realm and will return back after their assignments. I believe that Soul of Humans does not die. I believe in regeneration and reincarnation.
“I believe that no one can save us from sins, that for every wrong deeds there are dire consequences and I believe in the law of cause and effect, I believe in Karma. I believe in a Creatress who has incarnated to fulfil a divine purpose. I believe in Destiny and that we are manifestations of our earlier spiritual decisions.
I believe that the true worship of God is in our right conducts and not in our religious association and buildings.
“I believe that when the Supreme Creatress incarnated and manifested on Earth, other Celestial beings were in accompany and they are what we referred to as Orus (Angels). I believe that these Orus are sometimes reincarnated as humans, they are the prophets, priests and other divine Messengers.
“I believe there is a life before this life and a life after this life. I believe that the first natural habitat were the waters and that water is sacred and a source to all life. I believe that all men must purify themselves with water as a form of remission of sins. I believe absolutely in the power of the Divine mother and of the divine feminine Woyin, Tamara!!
“I believe that all the EGBESU’s are manifestations of WOYIN. I believe that it is by propitiation and atonement that the world is made. This is the best challenge you will ever see on Facebook. So if you love Ìsẹ̀se and African spirituality and you’re not ashamed, just copy and replace my name with yours and make this your status update edit as appropriate.
“I challenge my friends listed here to also publicly announce their faith and each to challenge other five people.”
