ARCHBISHOP BENSON IDAHOSA'S DAUGHTER SPEAKS - “I AM NOT MY FATHER”. SHE'S A TRADITIONALIST.

Archbishop Benson Idahosa’s daughter has broken her silence, and her words are stirring debate.

Ratiande Idahosa, daughter of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, recently shared views on religion and culture that differ sharply from her parents’ legacy.

While many expected her to follow the ministry path, she chose a different direction entirely.

Unlike her late father, the pioneer of Pentecostalism in Nigeria, and her mother Margaret Idahosa, Ratiande is not a pastor or preacher.

She has stayed out of church work and public ministry.

That low profile is why many Nigerians did not even know she existed until now.

Her stance shows a clear generational shift in belief and identity.

In her comments, Ratiande argued that religion and culture are deeply intertwined.

She cited examples: Indians with Hinduism, Arabs with Islam.

According to her, Christianity does not align with African culture because Africans had to strip away their identity to accept it. “How can we truly worship a God that doesn’t look, talk, or act like us?” she asked.

She went further to say that other civilizations adapted religion to fit their culture.

Europeans created a version of Judaism that became Christianity. Persians shaped Islam to reflect their culture. But for Africans, she believes Christianity was imposed without cultural adaptation. That, she says, is why she rejected it.

“I am unapologetically African,” Ratiande declared. “I believe in the efficacy of ancestors. African spirituality does it for me. I pour libation to my ancestors. I am too conscious to worship a foreign god.” Her words have sparked conversations online about faith, culture, and identity in modern Africa.

My position on this is that even if she's the daughter of the Pope , she has chosen her own path.

Her position on Christianity shouldn't be my position or your position.

You got convinced that Jesus is your Lord and Master, then keep it that way.

Don't let her surname make you begin to doubt your Faith.

I won't lie to you, there is power in the name of Jesus.

The death and resurrection of Jesus is victory for us and that is why there's so much power in the church.

Even Satan and his cohorts know that there is so much power in the church to heal the sick, cast out demons and perform miracles.

That is not magic.

That is your evidence.

My grand mother used to be a traditionalist but she was always pushing me to go to church.

Her father was a church catechist and yet she became a traditionalist.

That was a path she followed.

But She wanted me to become a Catholic priest and she was so happy when I entered the minor seminary.

And whenever I came back she always loved to talk to me about the order of mass and the secred order of the Catholic Church.

She always wanted to discuss the Bible with me .

Why?

She knew there is power in them.

So don't let anyone make your faith shake

You're standing on a solid rock.

Don't judge anyone's beliefs but don't let their beliefs make you begin to doubt your own

Me: Satan has now gained access to mess with the Idahosa legacy through his prodigal daughter the same way he cornered Judas and used him to betray Jesus Christ.

I declare that she'll not be wasted! She'll be delivered and be restored to walk in the very footsteps of her father as her father walked in the footsteps of Christ, and to continue the good fight of faith her father started, in Jesus' name!🙏🙌🔥
