For if Christians had continued to act like the Christ they claim to believe in, Nigerian Pentecostal Christianity won't be the mediocrity it is today. Noisy. Pompous. Arrogant. Petulant. Next Sunday, walk into any church. Raise these prayer points. Let all who lie die by fire. Let all who abuse public offices and office of trust be brought down by the Holy Ghost. May the mouths of those who have eaten "government money" seal up. And watch the service end early. They'd rather fight unseen enemies, evil uncles/aunties, and their village people. That's all Christianity has become - a list of prayer points and tithe. There are good Christians, who still appreciate the use of intellect and reason. Unfortunately, a vast majority of their brethren consider these Christians 'oversabi, atheist-to-be'. For them, to use the brain is to be carnal, to be in the flesh. Those in the Spirit, simply believe, no questions asked. Doubt or skepticism is not permitted. But without doubt, I ask, how would you know truth or fact? Without skepticism, how do you tell TRUE from FALSE? So when you see fellow Christians asking questions about tithes, be thankful for their doubts. Be grateful, for it gives a chance for one to review, and reveal new things. Doubts, when dismissed with reproach and threats, breeds rebellion. Even Christian history tells this story. But, alas, how much does the average Nigerian know about Christianity? Most even believe Christianity is not a religion. Call me mad. 21 Likes 7 Shares |

If this same logic was applied to ATR as it is, I think it would also be good and grand. The Chinese has made theirs enviable In fact most kids want to be Shaolin monks now.... 2 Likes |

@sonofthelightbearer, For it is only through doubt and rebellion, that man has ever made progress!!! “No creed must be accepted upon authority of a "divine" nature. Religions must be put to the question. No moral dogma must be taken for granted- no standard of measurement deified. There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy!” ---Anton Lavey 9 Likes 2 Shares |

correctguy101: ATR is complex, and concrete information on most of it is hard to find. Also, Nollywood has misrepresented it. It would take years to change people's attitude towards it. |

sonofluc1fer: It's complex but so is nature. I was born and bred in the Yoruba land and I understand their traditional beliefs more than most average Yoruba adults even some older men. It's just education, if you were educated on it, you would understand it especially if you've read wide on the sciences. You would see the correlations here and there in IFA study. Concrete information is not hard to find, just ask sincerely or for curiosity sake and any oluwo will explain things clearer to you. It's what I did, coupled with personal research when I was interested knowing about it. I have an educated friend of mine who is currently a certified oluwo. And Nollywood, real jokers and destroyers of our cultural heritage. It would definitely take years but which belief system didn't take years? 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Sadly, christianity (especially in Nigeria)now suffers a queer hijack by its mostly ignorant adherents. It is now for most "christians" a means to a materialistic end. Whereas Holy Lord Jesus taught that "one can't serve God and mammon", but for naija, what is being promoted is that one can serve mammon by "God's grace". 4 Likes |

You have those trying to defend their gods of men from those calling them to Biblical order so they stop leading their sheeple astray to eternal damnation in hell fire.

I laugh when I read some guys say "what is holding African youth backward is religion" the problem of Africa is not religion but leadership. Africa don't even practise religion as much as the Chinese do... stop looking for excuse for your failure. you can start a revolution of a better Africa but stop your ignoramous foolishness 1 Like |

Meti99: True talk... But not religion, not even the leadership per se...... But cowardice of the learned and enlightened... We only have those learned and enlightened who'll laugh and scorn your spoken English or lack of information..... Brag about their intellect and educational documents, background and achievements...... Some even help the bad managers of Africa exploit Africa and it's human and natural resources..... idiot soldiers who would protect the same animals in human skins that would cause them suffering in their old age and their progeny in penury.... Sometimes, ignorance is truly bliss, knowledge is power but also a punishment.... Let's just face it, religion is a meager part of our problem but cowardice is a major part of it. Ojukwu started something good but ran away cos he isn't in it for the common good but it's obvious he's in it for what he'll personally get from it..... Uwazuruike, Nnamdi Kanu... all act bold but are using the masses as shield for themselves. Cowardice don finish us all.... This same cowardice will let us succumb to degrading sturvs like greed and the likes.... I don rant finish... if you think religion put Nigeria where it is today abeg, tell me how... I wouldn't argue it with anyone but it's same cowardice that's making us look at religion for an escape it'll never give.... Make your excuses known I don go sleep, till 2mao... 1 Like |
