Humanist Assembly of Lagos Lecture

Do witches exist? What motivates belief in superstition? How is superstition driving fundamentalism? What are the benefits of critical thinking and benefits of doubt? How do you identify superstition and avoid being exploited? These are some of the issues we will be discussing/debating at first the public lecture of The Humanist Assembly of Lagos.

The Humanist Assembly of Lagos is a non-profit, neutral organization promoting freedom of thought and belief. We look to bring about a progressive society where being good, irrespective of race, tribe, with or without belief, becomes accepted as a way of life. We stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek rational ways of solving societal problems.
So come join us at this public lecture with distinguished speakers from the field of philosophy, medicine, religious studies and entertainment who will be discussing critical thinking, superstitions, freedom of thought, etc on Sunday 30th of August at the Lecture Hall, Unilag Guest House and Conference Centre, University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos. Time is 12:00 noon. Guests will also have the opportunity to share their experiences.

Our superstitious beliefs in Nigeria, and Africa in general, are really holding us back. It makes us look like cowards because we are scared of the "unknown" and "unusual".

If a boy or a girl wakes up one morning and starts saying that he/she is the prince/princess of the marine spirits, in Nigeria he/she will be taken to church or native doctor for deliverance. They will be branded as being possessed and some people will actually believe that they are marine spirits and blame all their misfortunes on them. In the western world the same child will be patted on the back, arm put round their shoulder and taken to a psychiatric unit for assessment and possible locking up just in case they get physically violent.

I'm not saying that they aren't some nut cases in the western world that believe I'm witches and spirits, but such people are so few that they are almost insignificant. The majority of people in the western world will think you're going mad if you start talking about witches and wizards. And please don't read any meaning into all those movies they make about evil spirits and ghosts. It's all fictionally based entertainment from creative minds just like movies about aliens, camouflaging dinosaurs, super heroes that dodge bullets, princesses in Frozen etc.
