Then you should also know that their currency bears the inscription 'Novo ordo seculorum'. Find out what that means. And I don't mean its translation.

Lordlexy: @HOLY HOLLA. Bro, that pagan doesnot worth your responses. There's no point debating with a blood sucking cultist like him. My mum use to tell me how she lost many of her sibling cos grand pa was an idol worshipper. How little disobedient to whatever nonsense deity, will result to murder, and how they became so impoverish as a result of series of animal sacrifices to constantly appease the demons and lucifer called 'gods' which cost them quite a fortune, not to talk about the trauma they went through. Thank God for CHRIST JESUS AND HIS BLOOD that has permanently rescued us such slavery and misfortune.

jammyng: For your info, westerners are more religious, I repeat more religious (not fanatical) than africans. I bet you don't know that the key statement of the US is 'in God we trust'

HolyHolla:

The three main points you made are disagreeable.

If you advocate banning of all religion, I'll equally add that we ban all forms of individual reasoning, then we can turn everyone into zombies.

You are very wrong about China too. They are a religious society with various religious groups, particularly oriental religions and including Christians. Though, during the heat of the Revolution, Christian groups were proscribed except for state sanctioned Christian religion, Catholicism, Chinese government have now seen wisdom in allowing more flexibilty. Yet, it is a more glorious time for Chinese economy than during the Revolution.

Even if there is no religion in Nigeria, our leaders will still "have been stealing us blind" (sic) as long as we remain corrupt, selfish, materialistic, tribalistic and hero-worshipping.

Consider this:
Great Britain and other western countries prospered under Christian forms of life, laws and style of living, but now, as they dismantle their values, their societies are being corrupted and the economies are collapsing. Note also that it was Christian pilgrims and adventurers that founded and built the U.S., which also is now collapsing after devaluing their Christian principles.

I submit that it's not the problem of religion; it's our African psyche we need to change.

joeokri: D president is trying to logically make d country an islamic country. He has shown to world that he faked his story by saying a winners pastor did deliverance and to make it worse on sunday. In fact God will soon show him self in this.

Samunique: I'm very suprised, when i see people condeming and agitating d baning of Church in Nigeria! Why are we so ungrateful and forgetful? Now let me remind u, av u forgot that christianity brought an end to d killing of Twins, human sacrifice? Don't u remember any more that some of us would have died illitrates if not for christianity and d church? I was a muslim but attended missionary school, christianity has done alot for us in nigeria, although, it may be having its own issues now as rightly predicted by d scripture, that doesn't mean we shld destroy it as the West are doing now, destroying d work their forefathers laboured and died for. Now we can see d negative effects it's having on them today! Ps 16:4 "Their sorrows shall be multplied that hasten after another god" let me say this, "what Jehovah has done no one can undo!

Originakalokalo: Go and tell ahab that elijah is here ministry?

Economy downturn tins.

Dreal1247: MARK MY WORDS, THAT PRESIDENT'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. President since 1982. He has overstayed his welcome. I HEREBY DECLARE HIS SEAT VACANT. Like if you are in support.

that was true xtianity not the business model people run these days.

Infomizer:
I think we are much more religious than the westerners. Maybe not as religious as the orients, but definitely more religious than 'em.
My take on the religion thingy is this: religion does not seem to be the solution to our problem. Well, it may be part of the solution if reasoning is allowed and bigotry is disallowed. Why will this country remain in shambles if millions of prayers are offered to the deity everyday (and much more on fridays and sundays)? Beats me folks!

Lovine: John 16: 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.

Catholic Church is behind all these,each day they are losing members as they can't attend to the spiritual problem of their members they resort to Biya, what about the secret societies, marabouts, etc? In the dark ages they did they the same, no one will read Bible if found you will be killed. As much as I know that many fake churches are everywhere, true Christians should not be afraid, Bible said ' With much persecution we shall inherit the kingdom. Biya has signed his death warrant and soonest he will be history.

HolyHolla:
Merely substituting religion for reason only leads to failure and that is what we are presently witnessing.

The nation will remain in shambles if all we practice is reason or mere religion.

The new Age of Reason developing in the western societies is not helping their issues. There are more dastardly crimes because people are told not to believe in deity or after life, the fear of which kept many under control in the past. That is what reason does to a decadent society.

On the other hand too, religion without true practice of faith only leads to people believing that they are safe, as long as they attach themselves to a religious group. That is what fosters the cultism in all religions nowadays. Of course, even if you proclaim Christianity, but you believe more in your group than in your God and His true principles, you are just practicing cultism!!!

Let me give you an example: Remember a group of Christians in Lagos whose pastor poured petrol on some members and lit them up? The members are still existing as a church and supporting their pastor who's now on death row, and who has shown no form of remorse or repentance over his actions. That is NOT Christianity, but cultism.

Judas2013: Jesus is a curse to Nigeria
@judas2013, U̶̲̥̅̊ ve only 3days to repent and accept jesus and U̶̲̥̅̊ have to preach d gospel ur self U̶̲̥̅̊ will suffer more than paul did for d sake of d gospel, U̶̲̥̅̊ wil ve to proclaim same jesus ur cursing,no joke 3 days 3days 3days ur tym is running out fast 3days I tell U̶̲̥̅̊ .

Infomizer:
Well argued. What we both propose is impossible in our present society. Both in the more religious (roman catholic dominance) and not religious (communist era) past, society has failed. Reasoning works well in an ideal society but since we don't av dat, I den mentiond dat religion may be part of d solution provided folks abhor bigotry and tolerate reasoning(logic). Humans have the predilection to resort to an atavistic savagery & that may explain why there's always a judas in every 12.To me, this is why society fails, not because of reasoning as you opine.Let the believer respect/tolerate the unbeliever & vice versa & let both parties shatter the practice of impunity. This should work, but it won't since it is not possible given our nature.
