Christianity in Nigeria and Africa is beginning to come under heavy attack, not just from people who are ungodly and most times closet Satanists, but from celebrities. They claim the reason why Africa is backward is because of religion. There are so many religions in Africa, but the one they are truly specific about is Christianity.

These people don't complain when other religions engage in mass murder for their god, nor when some of them demand human sacrifice by killing innocent passerbys in the middle of the night all in the name of a festival. But when people gather in a church to worship God, they get angry and claim that is the reason why Africa lacks steady electricity, food, technological development and is suffering from poverty.

When these people call for religion to be eradicated from Africa, what they actually want is for Christianity to leave. It is only Christianity that defines what religion is, and that annoys them because it speaks against their worldly ways.

James 1:27 (KJV)
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

As seen above, the religion God accepts is the one in which a person is encouraged to:

1.) Visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.
2.) To keep himself unspotted from the world.

The above points in the definition of religion are an embodiment of Christianity. When these people say religion should be eradicated from Africa because they think it is mental slavery, what they actually want is for the fatherless and widows to suffer. No one will care about them because the one belief which encourages that has been destroyed.

But you say "celebrities do give gifts to orphans". Yes and that's because they upload the act on social media just to earn your praise and make you see them as good, whereas they are not. You really think they care about the orphans they help? They don't care. They only care about how the world perceives them. That's why they show it off when they do such good. They post it on social media because they want people to comment and praise them. Let's see what Jesus Christi said about such.

Matthew 6:1-4 (KJV)
6 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

These celebrities and ungodly people hate Christianity because the book by the religion contains words that judge them. The Bible exposes their wicked ways. They want to live however they like without anybody questioning them. They are angry that the light through Christianity has come to Africa. No more baby sacrifices, no more offerings to demons, no more living a wicked life. The light has condemned them.

John 3:19
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

They hate the light of Christianity because it exposes their evil ways. It exposes the motive behind their actions.

John 3:20
“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”

We who don't do evil are not angry at the light. We love and welcome it. It has even made us better humans.

John 3:21
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The above are the words of Jesus. The words judge evildoers, which means that they definitely hate Jesus as well. It's words like this that made the evildoers back then to kill Jesus. They couldn't stomach how he was exposing their evil heart. Those evildoers back then have their descendants today continuing from where their ancestors stopped. We are glad Jesus is risen and his word will never die.

The second point in the definition of religion says we should keep ourselves unspotted from the world. It simply means our ways should be different from the way the world does its own. It also means we shouldn't love the world. But these atheists, celebrities and evil people are always in comformation with the world. From the way they attack religion to their flamboyant show off on Instagram, we get to know that they love the world. This means they don't have the love of the father in them. They hate God.


1 John 2:15-17 (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Despite them loving the world so much, you will never see them speak up against things positioned to destroy it. As long as those things are against Bible teachings, they will welcome them e.g homosexuality.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The people who say Africa is backward because of the religion white men brought to the continent don't even know how foolish they sound. They say the Bible which the white man brought to Africa is the reason the continent is backward. How come the cars, phones, television, refrigerator etc all brought by the same white men are not making Africa backward? If we must throw the Bible away, then we must throw away all those other things the whites brought to our continent.

Some people even believe Africans who serve God fervently are not really doing so because their continent is not rich like China, an ungodly nation. Look, the Bible already stated that we should stay away from such people who think being rich means you are serving God, who think gain is godliness.

2 Timothy 6:5
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Being rich is not a sign that you are serving God. Don't be all about wealth and riches. As long as you have clothes and food to eat, that should be enough. Why try to gain the world when you brought nothing into it and will take nothing out?

2 Timothy 6:6-8
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Do you know what will happen to those who are chasing after riches? They will do so many foolish things. This explains why Western Nations are encouraging homosexuality, abortion etc. This also explains why celebrities fall into depression all the time.

2 Timothy 6:9
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

These evil people want Christians in Africa to chase after wealth because they know it will make us err from the Christian faith. That is why they keep ringing it in our ears that Africa is backward because of religion.

2 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But as a Christian, you should run away from such people. Run away from the love of money and the love for the world. Follow after righteousness.

2 Timothy 6:11
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Christianity is not the one looting money at Federal Government and State level. Christianity is not the one embezzling money released for educational and technologcial development. Stop saying we should dump it. Blame your leaders, not Christianity.

These evildoers want us to go back to serving the God's in Egypt which didn't profit Africa in any reasonable sense.


Joshua 24:14-15 (KJV)
14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

perfectly said bro. politics have done more harm than religion. we can only try to find the right political formula. Neither can we eliminate our religious need; we can only find the right religion. A good start would be to find one committed to a leader who said:

"Blessed are the peacemakers ... love your
enemies ... bless those who curse you ...
turn the other cheek ..."

If you assume that killing and exploitation are wrong, you have unconsciously appropriated Christian values. If, as atheistic evolutionists teach, advancement comes through the survival of the fittest, why not let war take its natural course?

what do you understand by "survival of the fittest"?

are you not an atheist ? you know better na. every Darwin's should know.

I asked what YOU understand by that.

But our leaders are more products of religion rather than quality education yes or no?

How many of our leaders does not go to church or mosque or some African shrine?

Even in the advanced west and other areas.Religious regions the "bible belts" just happen to be most backward.

Religion is partly to blame




...

both religion and leaders are the problem!

Why bother explaining what cannot be understood by minds that want to forsake God anyway?

Anywhere Black people are is always backward.

It has nothing to do with religion, but that the average Black man is vain, crude, greedy, selfish/self-centered, conceited, egotistic and wants to be worshipped, cannot innovate, has no good foundation, grew up in slums/villages, and lives to lavish money extravagantly, etc. Put such a person in control and watch Africa reborn over and over again.

This is why where people of color are there is always refuse, open sewers and property value drops. But those who don't want to believe in God claim it is because of religion.

If so, the whole world would be a cesspit, because everywhere is religious. Different values produce different results. Eg, Most Asians have good work ethic and believe in honesty and community growth and selflessness.

What do Black people believe in as their core values?

The Cadillac was a dead brand until the prideful, greedy nature of Blacks was discovered by the manufacturers who were Whites.

What leaders are u talking about?
The leaders are a reflection of the collective predilections of the people. You have bad leaders because you are bad people and only maintain systems that appeal to the lowest common denominator and ensure they get into positions of power.

Religion has always and will always be a major problem to us. It is religion that makes the black man go to vigil and scream his heart out instead of working and using his head. It is what makes MFM guys kill their enemies every year with no result to show for it financially and materially yet still remain adamant and stick to the same futile strategies.
The version of religion we practice encourages men to steal so they can come give testimony in churches. It encourages wanton looting by civil servants so they can get front row and positions of deacons in church.

The energy we have expended in praying to God, who has already blessed us with everything we need, could have been best applied into creative pursuits. Religion encourages indolence and the emphasis on miracles stymies but technological and business growth.

Let me give u an example. In other less religious countries, when a business man is failing at his business, he begins to reconsider his strategy. He thinks up innovative ways and failing that, he closes the business and seek better opportunities suited to him. In Africa and other religion-induced low IQ countries, the man baulks at the first sign of trouble and runs to church. His pastors begins to tell him there is something after him and enemies are at the gates. Suddenly the country, nay the world, has lost an opportunity to see a new innovation or a new idea. The man himself has lost an opportunity to grow and know himself better. The list is endless....

Religion is a problem. It hinders men from using their abilities most times.

Brevity is a virtue!!

Religion is simply the reason why Africans are poor and backward. We don't want to be logical and creative but we want a miracle to happen. In the fight for this miracle, we go to church and start donating money for pastors and the female followers offers their pussy to their pastors as well. This is a big shame on us because the British that brought Christianity into Africa don't practice Christianity like this. They don't believe in miracles but they explore and make the world a better place.

I see that you lack understanding of the picture you posted

Before them negro-hating, slave-making Arabs and the colonialistic Europeans brought and slammed us with what is called religion, we already had our various belief systems.

Religion very much is as responsible for the level of backwardneas as much as them, and why should they be addressed as leaders when the appropriate word should be rulers.

If you disagree it is not religion then would you think they will gladly welcome into the constitution by making it compulsory during their swear-in session to take oath of office at the contactivated presence of just one of the vindictive Gods to never indulge in any corrupt practice whatsoever, I'll even prefer sixteen of them. But they will rather prefer the ineffective gods of the Abraham mytheology which have clearly proven uncountable times to be not jist dead but never to exist, nor have existed.

What's the need of researching into the cure for Ebola when we can simply pray whilst we wait for the atheist oyinbo to find it?

All of this is the fault of KOWA party.

Definitely not religion but both political and religious leaders in africa are responsible for the backwardness of Africa.

Though the political leaders are more responsible for this.

lolz...lazy youth!!

Thank for this. The west has religion and yet developed tremendously. Until we know and recognize our problem we will keep blaming the rain.

However I won’t say it’s only our leaders cos this is now democracy and we elect these leaders or fail to hold them accountable so we are also the problem aswell.

We the citizens are also responsible for our country’s failure.

Religion has only become a drug abused to forget or excuse the pain and reality.

But religion has kidnapped our people's thinking abilities...........

Their brains has completely been isolated, they think religion is the only solution............

Thats not down to religion, thats due to misplaced priorities from our leaders.

Ditto. As are the adherents of these faiths.

hmm..fact Bro. we keep blaming religion for our woes and failures

Religion isn't and will never be our problem as a people, but looting...

True

Religion, not only Christianity, is guilty as charged. Op, pls reserve foolishness for yourself when criticizing an opposing view. Religion with its ingredient, faith, puts Africans in mental comatose. People that cannot think freely, but hope on supernatural factor to provide for their needs. Yes, the colonists came with technologies, but religion they brought made their penetration so easy and they have long jettisoned it for more human advancing technologies. It is quite pathetic how we have so many sterile elements who are parasitic to people's income. The whole continent is littered with redundant religious mansions where people even worship at work hours waiting for non-existent miracle to change their fortunes, instead of them to think like the Europeans on how to better their fortunes by themselves. Sometimes I imagine that if people can put their 10% into their accounts and the Banks in turn give it out as loan to investors. Won't employment be created? instead of giving it to some greedy persons who consume luxurious items made abroad which further advance development of foreign economy. Or you are not aware of the luxurious life our religious leaders lead? Religion with its docility makes us powerless to resist the excesses of our political leaders, because we believe that help can always come from above. Religion in Africa is a modern day slavery and this time exploited by the greedy locals against unsuspecting ones, the God will judge crue. I'm a Christian, but the level of poverty in Africa is in an alarming state and we really need to escape it and the evils (prostitution, internet fraud, kidnapping, etc.) it brings.
