The Afro-beats musician and cultural activist, Oluwatobi Kongi, popularly known as Jaja Monkey, has revealed that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is a Blackman.
Jaja Monkey said this in an interactive session with Report Africa on Sunday via Whatsapp that any other form of education that preaches otherwise is a lie, bais and racial in nature.
"Most things taught in Christianity from the hands of the oppressors need to be re-evaluated. The misrepresentation of Jesus as Whiteman aims to strengthen the concept of racism inherently present in slavery, colonialism and post colonial eras.
He also added, 'Education of the black child needs to be prioritised, and it is a good start to start with hope, faith and believe in ourselves. My music is a form of education.
"It is time for Africans or any person of the Black origin should embrace their originality, beauty and most importantly, history. We should be the custodians of our stories and histories , and not leave it for others to tell. Putin's Russian is reflecting artifacts that prove Jesus to be Black.
"Looking at the slavery and colonialism, it is observed that our history has been altered to suit the Western and Colonial values and views as against ours. Appreciating the place of being Black as symbolism of greatness remains a key factor in achieving greatness. My music aims to champion African course, preach Black pride".
