plaetton: The christianity is never afraid of criticism .They are always ready and open because they have nothing to hide. Unlike Islam that largely prevents it followers from reading the bible and Philosophy in Iran,Saudi,Afghanistan etc |

SimonAndal: Left to the church, there'll be no: internet, television, radio (gallileo), open-heart surgery, freedom. So yeah, the church is very destructive. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You bad gan! I think TODAY in Nigeria we have may almost 30,000 churches and mosques but even schools these days are lacking libraries. TODAY Naija needs more libraries than hospitals sef! |

I love the library, you'd have to be quite serious-minded to go there. It's just peaceful being in a nice library reading for leisure, research etc. |

Even in our supposedly educational institutions, its a battle of different religious fellowships... A crap generation we are breeding... Their mates around the world are selling ideas, they are selling indian hair... 1 Like |

musKeeto: Even in our supposedly educational institutions, its a battle of different religious fellowships... Isn't it ironic, Damning our god-given hairs to ware the hairs of hindus to worship god. We produce countless megathons of prayer power, but when get sick we swallow drugs made in India by Hindu Indians. Someone or something really messed with our brains. |

this is a very unfair comparism. I have seen a woman who grew in the village, and was never educated. She started going to church and in few years she could read the bible. And could also read other books. The whole libraries in this world put together can't compete with a Church. Before the libraries were built, the Church already existed. infact the Church built the libraries. The Church is a library. |

plaetton:Sad situation.. Upon stepping out of the Chennai International Airport, Nigerians are asked by cab drivers if they need a cab to the hospital... The major hospitals in the city have a lot of African patients, majority of whom are Nigerians.. Our problems are financing their solutions.. Most of my Indian colleagues are either atheists or agnostics. For this who are Hindus, its becoming more or less a culture, in a similar fashion to how buddhism is being practiced in Japan these days.. The government fixed their education sector, and today they've found a niche for themselves in the IT sector. Textbooks were made as cheap as possible, colors faded, diagrams removed, just to ensure education was affordable to most people.. Hardwork and wise management of meagre resources(considering their population) NOT prayer is solving their problems. If a Christian tells me its prayers, I simply ask to what god? Their supposedly juju gods? Is Satan a god of development? Then I'd rather worship Him... |

religion is the best thing to happen to mankind. realise that you are not a christian because your name is PAUL but because you behave like CHRIRT, and if no one behaves like CHRIST on earth, then there are no Christians on earth. |

Agreed that Nigerian christians seek medical help by taking drugs produced by indian hindus....so what? are these Hindu indians not coming to nigeria to seek spiritual help from christian churches. God uses whoever he want to use to affect mankind Let me also make it known to you that "you are what you read" you cannot grow more than what you know,so what we have in the librararies are limited human knowledge which are passed from one reader to another. But wisdom from God is transient and more beneficial to mankind. |

The simple question to you is: would you prefer that your children spend their free time in libraries or in churches and mosques? |

Ow can u compare nd contrast on which is d best.each 1 has a vital role it plays bt du nt ignore religion stuff cos prayer is key way 2 lyf nd even educational career Prayer is key way to life for whom? How does prayer factor in the world economy? How does prayer factor in technological knowhow? How does prayer factor in standard of living indices? How does prayer factor in the peace and security of a nation? How about justice and fundamental human rights? How about self-sufficiency in food production, does prayer factor in too? Now, In Nigeria, since we produce megathons of prayer power from all quarter every day, How have we fared so far on all the above? |

BĂ©lla3: u've made a point, we are busy judging while our lives are nt perfect. I am guilty of this. I hereby apologize to alI think you just need to expand your horizon on religious matters especially on Islam and who knows, God might guide you to the truth. Be open-minded and stop being one-sided.

Its unfortunate that the poster was raised either in the church or mosque, but things have turned around because correct servant of God were scarce. imagine hw far u would have gone if the first two u mention is nt in place. i will suggest we put d chur and mosque in place as it is commanded, we will have better Nigeria. |

plaetton: sorry for the late reply, my data expired. A church can be said to be a group of christians as a whole Or a building where christians gather to fellowship. Do you have an idea when christians started gathering to fellowship. Right from the very begining. Since the days of Abel.So how do you claim libraries came first? |

samkoro: You are confirming your reputation for turning facts upside down As a student, I bought and read the Bible to pass exam in CRK. My dad allowed me I read the Bible all the time - my christian friends are even afraid of touching the Qur'an They prefer to read biased commentaries from converts and haters of Islam like you 1 Like |

samkoro: Did those people killed during the St Bartholomews Day Massacre deserve to die for being protestants? Did those people tied to the stake and burnt to death deserve to die for (heresy) not sharing orthodox beliefs? Is it fair for the Vatican to still be holding mementos of the St Bartholomews Day Massacre at the holy See? There are more too |

samkoro: Church is the best legacy for mankind. Church in the true biblical sense of the word is not a building but the body of Christ.A church is a group of followers of the lifestyle of Christ which epitomises LOVE ,KINDNESS,FORGIVENESS.A lifestyle that leads to eternal life in paradise. Muslims follow the instructions of Allah. Mohammed (PBUH) was his messenger Samkoro, can you bring evidence for all the falsehood you dish out here Is there a reward for lie telling in christianity. I was really under the impression that it is wrong to bring false witness A muslim is prohibited from lying and you seem to be enjoying that monopoly to lie to your heart's content and say things without restraint I am discovering how far christians are prepared to go to tarnish the image of Islam Rape? in Islam? Do you know the punishment for that? Lying? Quran "4:135 - O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do." This verse allows muslims to defend themselves without going into excess Quran "2:190 Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors." A muslim might be allowed to pay expiation for manslaughter. Murder has no such concession Why don't you really show some respect for the truth |
