1) Religion
As long as black people follow foreign religions that have been used to enslave them in the past, we will always be mental slaves. Like it or not islam ultimately benefits the Arabs and Christianity the whites. GO to Jerusalem and see how black pilgrims are treated. Go to Mecca and see the difference between African pilgrims and Arab ones.

We are one of the most homophobic, sexist and ignorant races as a result of religion.

2) Survivalist mentality.
Just because you are alive doesn't mean that you are living. Poverty makes you focus on surviving and not living. You care about your next food or salary instead of taking time to look At art or do some philosophy on nature. You focus on yourself rather than the bigger picture of the community. You become so materialistic rather than perceptive. When a black man hammers, it is to pop champagne in the club, while the typical white man eats out with family and friends.


3) ignorance of our history (as a result of colonization)
If you knew that most powerful Christian churches and Muslims in the early centuries were supporters of slavery of Africans, would you be a Christian?

If you knew that your prophet regarded blacks as inferior would you follow him?

If you knew that your tribe or culture is older than Jews, Arabs or Judaism, would you claim to be descendants of Jews and Arabs?

If you knew that your tribes had inventions like sculpting techniques with bronze, hunting weapons, pottery etc, would you say that only the white and asian men could invent?

tosyne2much:
This is nothing nothing but the truth. Permit me to elaborate more on how religion has ruined this nation.

Christianity in Nigeria lacks several attributes that has kept us backward, which makes us lack the following attributes

Exposure, logic, facts, evidence, science, common sense, proof, reasoning, probability, thinking, intelligence, feasibility, confirmation, wisdom, likelihood, knowledge, rationality, realism, plausibility, intellect, open mindedness, analysis, induction, deduction, logistics, brainpower, coherence , saneness, consistency, congruity, enlightenment, sensibility, legitimacy, authenticity, predictability, believability, and foresight.

Religion has kept us back and stagnant in Africa and our over-spirituality as regards religion don't want science to advance any further, finding more evidence for evolution or perhaps the non-deistic mechanism of the universe’s creation. However, it doesn’t want people to become more knowledgeable about the origins and evolution and to unravel mystery.

In fact, it doesn’t want school children to be taught critical thinking skills but their thinking should only be within the scope of Bible and Quran, hence, causing us to be unproductive

You can see that those who are able to think outside religion are the movers of yhe earth. They are people that have made landmarks across the world

May God help us in this part of the world

I'm happy that you have seen the light. So are you still a christian?

A very good Christian just that I always spill out the truth anytime any day. My sense of reasoning is not beclouded like that of others

No wahala. Most atheists have no problem with open and honest Christians.

It is the pastor worshippers that are annoying

I couldn't agree less with number one. that's the major thing.

The second one should be Tribe and ethnic groups. we have got zero tolerance for one another which leads to lack of cooperation and disunity.

until these are addressed, I pray we move forward.

Yeah, I forgot to add tribalism.

But do you honestly think religion is not a problem? Seriously?

Religion or our understanding of Religion? Did Religion tell our leaders to steal? Did it tell us to govern our people badly? Are these religions taking us backward because they are foreign or because they are inherently bad?

Nonsense as usual

Utter garbage . You can't expect anything better , he's an atheist . His posts reek of ignorance.

What do you think?

You have two foreign religions that were created about 2000 years ago when the common man was ignorant- of course, these religions are innately backwards.

Is it not religious doctrine that pushes Nigerian govt to enact homophobic laws? Sharia law in the north is a result of what?

Joshthefirst:
Nonsense as usual

Dear nairalanders, please take notice of this human being called Joshthefirst.

He is an example of why Nigeria will not get better. Rather than learn something new, he would rather close his mind and call something that is factual "nonsense"

Note that he didnt elaborate why it is "nonsense".

Please state why it reeks of ignorance. I doubt you would, though. You seem to be "hit and run" nowadays

I'm asking how these religions did it. How is it the fault of religion that people misinterpret it? How does homophobic laws make any country backward?

I'm sorry but are you capable of thinking for yourself? Do you really need me to point out the issues with religion? Did i not mention that these foreign religions are innately backwards? So what are you talking about by mentioning "misinterpretation"?

No, you didn't. You can show me where you explained in detail how these religions are innately backward.

How does saying something was created about 2000 years ago equate backwardness? How does saying that a thing is innately backward explain that it is innately backward?

Our superstitious beliefs is what is holding us from moving forward.

2000 years ago, did they have modern technology and science? Did they have a basic understanding of our environment? Did they even have a proper system of government?

Why then would a modern man use a religion that carries rules from 2000 years ago to rule his life? Do you think apostates should be killed as it is stated in the Islamic hadith? Do you think women should keep quiet in church as it is stated in the new testament? Should we still have slaves and should they obey their masters? Should we punish people for being gay?
