OP, you just spoilt my reading experience with that..."Whose names were..." It is whose 'name' and not 'names.' I don't know who started this rubbish English in Nigeria about ten years ago. A name has first name, middle name (if any), and a last name. That is why in a form, they ask for your full name...not your full names. 9 Likes |

I grew up in Maryland so I know Jesu oyingbo very well. There was a story that he almost woke up on the third day and lighting struck him dead . Inbreeding definitely took place cause I was in one of his building when the children and grandchildren fought the firstborn, demanding for increase monthly pay...lol so many things were said. But now the place is lively, fun spot and also a church on the street ( harvest place) I think. Most of his kids get skoro for head |

tammie24:Yes. But the prey always possess the same characteristics. Mainly low income, uneducated or half educated, mainly economically disenfranchised blacks and rural whites of the south. I have observed that most evangelical fraudsters specifically target blacks, the poor and the elderly in America. In Africa, where poverty and hopelessness is widely pervasive, it is an inexhaustible resource for religious fraudsters of every shade. 1 Like 1 Share |

plaetton: The human mind is not just malleable, it is scared and afraid and in need of continuous guidance. This explains the universality of religion and its use as a control tool. It is comforting to know that someone, like big brother, is always there to protect, guide and help us in times of need. Hence, why people always turn to God when they are in need, lonely and/or afraid -relegate him in times of happiness and success. Unconsciously, we want to be dominated, controlled, protected, loved, directed, pampered etc. To me, prayer is like hope. It relieves us because we, believe that we, have placed our burden on a stronger shoulder that can carry and solve our problems. This makes one happier and comforted. And in such moods, we tend to achieve more and be highly productive. Voila!!! Its a miracle. Prayer is a placebo effect. 3 Likes |

@Op Thanks alot for this exposition. Its indeed an eye opener for millions of gullible nigerians who are still being scammed in the name of miracles. I think poverty is the reason why many are trapped to believe religion will save them. Case study: Life and time of 'Jesu Oyingbo' authored by Ishilove of Nairaland with reference to NYT |

plaetton: Even educated people are brainwashed daily People are only quick to label Africa all kinds of things Rich people, well traveled... The thing is, we humans are vulnerable and if someone can convince us to be something or believe in something, at least 40percent of us will drop everything without thinking straight esp when we don't have people around to talk sense to us 1 Like |

fr3do: Sorry, but this post betrays a certain kind of dishonesty. Where is the pessimism in my post? Is that there is hopeless poverty in Africa ? Do you wish to deny that? Or is that religious fraudsters of all shades ( which Nigeria seem to be the largest producer) see hopeless poverty, economic disenfranchisement, social dislocation coupled with ignorant superstition as an inexhaustible resource to prey on? Which of these do you disagree with? If you were honest, you would have made your own argument first before calling someone a self-hater. Perhaps you don't know the meaning of self-hate. A person who buries his face in the sand like an ostrich , and pretends to see nothing is the true self-hater. 1 Like |

standd:You guys don't just get it. This is not about africa or anything. It's about humans and it happens everywhere. Not only in religion. The numerous batman stuff, people who worship Elvis Presly, West Boro Baptist church in the US, PEOPLE who worship artists, tattoo the names of these artists on their bodies and do so many crazy things. Most humans want an hero or something demigod like and once they sync up with this thoughts they lose their minds. It's not about poverty or anything. It's just man's inherent nature. 2 Likes |

plaetton:Guy quit it. Hero worship is a global phenomenom that transcends poverty and social strata. There are people who sold their houses in the US before year 2000 because their pastors told them the world was ending before the new millenium. This were fairly rich and educated people and we still have millions of them around the world. Narrowing it to Africa is actually inferiority complex as you believe everything bad that happens, happens because we are blacks and can't think. That's a racial stereotype. You know how many whites that can't point to the American continent on a map and can't make simple logical judgements? Millions of them. 1 Like |

johnny1980: Yes to everything.. But, right now we are discussing religion so the focus is on that. I still think that POVERTY makes SOME Nigerians overtly religious, like sowing seeds and going to sleep in Church plus worshiping paatorprenuers will make manna fall from heaven. Yet, the pastors grow richer while majority of the flock stink with poverty. Plus some people just refuse to use common sense, always relying on God to do things for them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

tammie24: I kind of agree. Statistics have shown over and over that majority of people non America and Europe come out university far less religious than they were when they entered. Therefore, university education should be considered a form of social engineering programming that filters and weens out religious crap from the mind. Perhaps there is something wrong with African education. Seriously. It puzzles me too. I have travelled and mingled extensively with people of different cultures. It is only in Africa, Nigeria especially that we have professors who are evangelical pastors or who ditch their professional careers to be pastors. It is therefore not surprising also, that Africa, the African educated, contribute the least in scientific and engineering innovations. Same goes for blacks in American. They are the most likely to be encumbered by religious superstitions, least likely to be well educated, most likely to have fragmented family setups, and most likely to be incarcerated. Do the math, and tell me the common denominator. It is the mind. I am sorry, but a mind spoonfed with the superstitions of Jesus saving his soul and reserving a seat for him in the heavenly la la land is already encumbered, already yoked. I mean, why persue futuristic scientific and engineering research when you're expecting JH Jesus at moment to whisk you away to la la land? 1 Like |

standd:Poverty maybe a big influence in Nigeria based on the demographics but poverty isn't the main root cause. FEAR which is a universal factor is the root cause. A case in point is the Ebola issue. Do you know how many educated and rich people fell for that stupid prank of bathing with salt and water? Millions. Exactly what plays around when it comes to religion and hero worshipping. Play on people's fear, offer them hope as regards what they are scared of. WITH that you would control them like robots. It's no news that there's a message of hell fire and burning of those who don't turn to God on a certain day of resurrection by most preachers. This FEAR pushes people to seek people they believe or heard have the magic wand or promises them hope from their troubles and FEARS. So they troupe out to meet these people no matter their social strata and education. Have you not seen many Professors and Rich men cower under the messages of these pastors? The pastors are using their FEAR to rule them. This can be applied in many ways, by using their fear of poverty to preach hope and prosperity; or fear of hell fire to preach hope of paradise and eternal living; or it can be their fear of illness or diseases to preach cleansing them and healing them just to get them under their wings. Although you are right that poverty plays a dominant role in Nigeria . 3 Likes 1 Share |
