Revelation has made it clear that Africans won’t make heaven – Seun Kuti

• Seun Kuti believes that, according to religious teachings, Africans are not destined for heaven but rather for servitude in the temple. 
• He also asserted that Africans are destined for servitude in the temple rather than admission to heaven.

Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has expressed his thoughts on traditional Western and Abrahamic religious views, questioning the concept of God as commonly portrayed.

In a recent podcast appearance, Seun Kuti criticized the depiction of God as a “white God,” highlighting potential issues with this representation.

Seun shared his skepticism about the idea of an all-powerful deity constantly monitoring human actions, drawing parallels to earthly leadership and the desire for accountability.

He also pointed out perceived negative portrayals of women in religious books, citing examples from the Bible.

Seun discussed his interpretation of religious teachings, specifically referencing the Book of Revelations. He believes that, according to these teachings, Africans are not destined for heaven but rather for servitude in the temple.

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.”
