Read this thought-provoking write-up by a Nigerian lawyer, Firsts Baba Isa:



THE GOD IS NOT TO BLAME.

When I went to South Korea for a short course in 2016, the deplorable condition of my country hit me hard in the face.

We are teaching our children to worship God while these countries are teaching their children to be gods.

We teach our children to pray for smart phones and cars, while they teach theirs to invent smart phones and cars. Then our children become adults who go to church to thank God for smart phones and cars purchased from other countries whose children have become adults who invent cars and smart phones. That's why they don't need our God because without them our God can't bless us. It is the cars and smart phones they invent that we give testimony and thank our God for in our churches. Then we go about boasting that it was pastor's prayers and anointing that gave us these stuff.

We are teaching our kids that "A" is for "Apple" and they are teaching their kids how to turn apples into other products and how to impregnate apples to give birth to beautiful bubbles.

We are still teaching our kids the botanical names of plants while they are teaching their kids how to marry mango and orange to produce man-range. They are teaching their kids coding and programming in well equipped schools while we are teaching our kids how to prophecy and speak in tongues in well equipped churches.

Our children's school drama is about how to be a pastor or imam while theirs is about how to relocate to a new planet. They boast about conquering Mars, while we boast about hearing from the Holy Spirit. We boast of defending Jesus and Prophet Mohammed, while they boast of producing cures for deadly disease.

We choose our leaders based on tribe and religion while they choose theirs based on the solutions these leaders bring to the table.

The God we all claim to love is definitely not in love with us. But in the end, the God is not to blame.

Nice observation...
Believe me , if they had the government we have , they would have been so hopeless that their own over religious lives would have had people falling under and above the anointing...
If the growth comes from our government and the masses wld not accept it , then the people are to blame...
Do you know the fund it takes to study programming course personally ?
How many people can afford it?
The ones who have invented things in NIGERIA, where are they today?

Taking counsel from a "learned" almajiri is something that questions our collective reasoning. The bible says nations shall serve me. Isaiah 55:5, 60:12.
I have money because I work. We can't all have same trade. It's called "specialisation". Surely, there's something I can do or have that they lack. The comparism does not follow.

Nigeria

OP is barely making sense when examined closely.

They also have church going professors who ask God for wisdom to invent things, it is we who decide to ask God for fast cars and phones instead of the wisdom to make them.

The best surgeon in the world, Ben Carson is a serious praying Christian so OP should shove that trash back to its source.

Government influence asides, it is Blacks who prefer to ask God for favour of needs. The average white man understands that God won't come down to bake bread or make cars for he m so they ask God for wisdom to male these things and that reflects in how they guard and sustain steady growth of the bodies of knowledge.

Look at the dangote situation alone, govt shields him from competition by inflating import duties for alternatives and then you think one poor man will aspire to ask God for wisdom to displace Dangote when it is much easier to lead a quiet life.

Best comment!
Many ideas but no support to build on is the problem.
