Its simple really, when you want something you are capable of exhibiting great piety (spirituality in this case)...
The sincerity of which is tested when you have gotten what you wanted.

acidtalk: The Average Nigerian is Callous, Boastful, Arrogant, Miserly, Greedy, Wasteful, and Proud in Nature.

All the traits above he cannot display because of his poor status.

So he tries every means possible to become rich so he can show his real behavior. He turns to religion because that is the cheapest form of hope he receives. He fast and prays 24hours of 365days just to attain financial breakthrough because he is tired of living a fake life of Humility and kindness.

Once God grants him his request, everyone sees the Lucifer in the once believed Angel.
very true of us Nigerians. Majority of us (90percent) are like dat.

. Yes exactly. When Nigerians want to borrow money from u, they can be so nice, sweat talking, making good promises. But wen it is time to pay back, u will bcome thier greatest enemy. They might even murder u self. That is naija 4u. I think d same apply to spirituality too. Wen poor, they are humble and repect the spiritual. Immediately they get d success, the first tin is to change church to swag church with style and class. And then live flamboyant life and then place sprituality on suspension.

True talk @Acidtalk.Obadia777,you badt gan.lol
Religion is the opium of the masses.
A chapter in proverbs comes to mind"a poor man's friend's hate him"
A wise old and wealthy man called mr okonkwo puts it this way"everyone is born poor,one just got to get out of it"
You hardly can tell a mans character when he don't have any money unless you are very careful at observing.
Though,he that is free with little,will be free with plenty of money.
Been poor dents any man's ego but many Nigerians make a big deal out of poverty,we forget that poverty is first a state of mind.not being able to think outside the box cos many allow poverty to becloud their sense of judgement thereby preventing many from thinking outside the box.

aruzuoke: I'm not trying to generalize here. This is just a subjective opinion but I've noticed that people tend to be more spiritual and religious when they are experiencing financial difficulty.
apparently, they think it is the only way to implore the Lord's favour and intervention. Sadly when things starts to go well for them, the same becomes a reason to absent themselves from spiritual responsibility- as is always the case most often than not. Pathetic, hugh?
