USA Africa Dialogue Series - A question for Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju

Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju, 

With avid interest, for more than a decade now, we have followed your various peregrinations in the occult and allied subjects, mostly via Compcros , and right now, after your latest and in anticipation of Thursday's Webinar not on the theme Africanization of African Indigenous Religions, but on the theme " ReAfricanization of African Indigenous Religions" - slightly different from Re-Africanization of African Indigenous Religions, I'd like to ask you the following question which I have wanted to ask you almost every day over these many many years reading your discourses: 

The colonialists did not penetrate India, China , and Japan, with their Christianity (God forbid) and we are to suppose that is because these countries have very strong indigenous spiritual traditions, the bulwark of the resistance….

Given the smörgåsbord of religious traditions, not least of all the rich canopy of indigenous religious traditions in Nigeria , especially the indigenous religious traditions of pre-colonial Nigeria, how is it that Nigeria succumbed to that sort of mass conversion ( like the Khazars, the so called "Thirteenth Tribe") ?   

I understand that although it's a simple question you are going to give a longish answer.

I seem to remember Socrates was accused of introducing new gods

Al Islam has characterised pre-Islamic Arabia as the age of Jahiliyyah

BTW, do you foresee a cultural renaissance and a mass return to the roots in your neck of the woods in Nigeria ?
