A CITAM preacher cannot understand why someone would have two weddings, a traditional one and a white wedding, something that has become normalized in the recent past.

Sometimes people just need to let people be Why is the church trying to dictate African Customs and they themselves are a product of foreign influence If it were not for colonial masters these preacher might have turned out to be the village drunk that we all make fun off

You cant blame him,he has been brainwashed by religion for decades.

The reason why people are uncomfortable with this is the identity crisis. They want to retain their traditional heritage but still brand themselves as Christians. The real question is , what makes one a Christian? And what's the obligation? And where do you stand as an individual

white wedding to please christian parents

There is nothing like 2 weddings, once you do your traditional, Jesus is no longer part of that union

Yaaani huyu ni Elder John Ng'ang'a mnaita foolish. Jamani, we don't know our treasures and heritage. Huyu mzee is a consultant and a great author. Someone you would greatly benefit from sitting and listening to.

It's sad he thinks he's clever and so so sad that some people will agree with him. Christian wedding is to whites what African wedding is to blacks. Both are traditional, but colonizers had us abandoning ours for theirs

Its called tripple heritage, copy pasting western culture without thinking

Weddings are just participation trophies for people who haven’t done the work yet. Christianity doesn't save marriages, and "tradition" is just peer pressure from dead people. A foundation isn't found in a Bible or a ceremony it’s built by two adults who actually show up

I like his line of thought. Nothing like traditional wedding.

Marriage is one way church gains new followers especially the children from that marriage. A traditional wedding is a threat to the institution.

Am sure hr understands betrothal process in different cultures. Being a Christian doesn’t negate that you belong to a particular culture it’s like saying now that your a Christian you only speak in English and negate your mother tongue

Hapa nayo ni ukweli. What's the so called white wedding for?

Yes. He is not young as you see. Further, there is more if you listen well. May those who have ears hear

The one he is referring to as Traditional wedding is not a wedding. It is a tradition. In Kikuyu it is called Ruracio. In Luo, nyombo etc

Neocolonialism has ruined everything,our culture,way of dressing... most of the people don't even read the bible

Go and do christian wedding without tradition first then you will find out how Christian wedding is a joke

Covenants under the authority of ancestors and some weird marine spirits through shedding blood are consequentially binding and dangerous. Never have culture spirits and blood sacrifices been a match to Jesus and His blood. However, culture is good but needs moderation

I wonder if the whites also do have a black wedding after their traditional (white) wedding. If anything, weddings are just nonsense.

Mzungu did us bad things with his traditions.

In a nutshell he means the religion which he supports came & fkd! us up.

The Christian one is a joke because it is not provided anywhere in the bible. Hio uzee yote uncle bado hajajifunza kitu? Very poor reasoning.

another puppet of the west making noise for us

An African is a confused being. Caught between westernization and traditions. I like watching western African ceremonies. In a funeral in west Africa there is church ceremony then right outside the church the traditional culture takes over. Priest is pushed aside and a kamurogi

I hope he's not confusing the traditional one with ruracio.

It is pointless to have both. The church will ask if you have cleared with the parents which is technically asking if you’ve completed the traditional part.

Please read the Bible for yourselves.

What really matters is the marriage certificate. The type of wedding ceremony doesn't matter. Btw, why do some drunk black preachers act like African cultures are ungodly? In fact what we call white/church weddings are just traditions from other cultures themselves!

Religion was brought by colonialists to blindfold Africans while they loot their resources. This guy is being delusional about marriage! The best one will always follow our African traditions!
