NIGERIA IS BUILDING THE BIGGEST CHURCH AND MOSQUE

And China is an atheist state

Sermwell:

lolz...lazy youth!!

I'm sure u didn't read that elongated epistle

Mrchippychappy:


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

China is an atheist state

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

Looting happens in every country on earth. The word looting isn't a Hausa or Ijaw word.

But people get away with looting in Nigeria and everyone is fine with it

Here comes another point that buttresses failure of leadership at the church level. We are quick to blame our secular...political leadership while shying away from the religious leadership.
All we know is whom the LORD anoints no one judges, when we know some anointed themselves and even called themselves to service in the vineyard of our sacred most high GOD..JEHOVAH!
Not until we start holding this Christian leadership accountable in line with the foundation of biblical principle I see no turn around in our Christian faith but rather decadence and loss of values.
Well our almighty GOD surely does his own cleansing and sanctification to end this menace in due time.

I don't know about atheists but Nigerian churches need to reevaluate their mode of operations especially in contribution to society development.

None of the mainstream Nigerian churches have come out to denounce and condemn Big Brother Nigeria, Betting/gambling and Yahoo Yahoo.

Every Sunday the people go to Church for hours.

Corruption is Nigeria's major problem but Nigerians are too sentimental to let the law have its way

afroxyz:


Have Africans committed more atrocities than the whites? so what do you mean by being cursed spiritually? You are just suffering from inferiority complex.

I believe the black race descended from the son of Noah that Noah cursed.... this belief maybe wrong but all evidence before me seems to suggest black Africa is cursed. In Gen 9, Noah curses Canaan/Ham who in Gen 10 - is shown to be the founding father of the black race. When I looked at this from this angle, the issues of Nigeria started making sense. Nigeria is cursed and will never make progress unless the nation is given to Jews and Western Europeans to rule over.

This is my thesis but I could be wrong.

To prove this alleged curse of black Africa in Genesis 9, there is evidence in Nigerian culture - Nigerian culture is based on telling lies and general dishonesty. Basic thingslike making and keeping appointments is lacking.. .

But all curses have been broken in Christ that's why salvation is very important. By accepting Jesus as the LORD and saviour, the curse of Noah on seed of Canaan/ Ham stands no more. It is well.

People get away with looting world wide.

Yes people do get away with looting but it is worse in Nigeria where the rich seem to be above the law and can buy their way

The main thing i got from this wonderful write up is that money is not everything,but love is.True religion is visiting the orphans and the widows in their affliction being humble and not wanting anything back in return for your good works especially praise from men.Good moral values.It condems homosexuality,abortion and all forms of immoralities destroying our world today please,those condeming religion should tell us what is wrong with that..I think Christianity if properly practised by Christians can actually bring development to our country,because money is not everythingThe developed countries we always refer to were one time in their history just like us or even worse.Religion has got nothing to do with our problems.

Attributing to Christianity human natural instincts of care and empathy is at worse foolish. Humans have the natural instincts to cause destruction on a large scale and also to empathize with the fatherless and widows, this has nothing to do with religion.

We have many countries who are doing very fine without Christianity being rooted in their cultures.For example Japan is a modern industrial society without being a Christian nation. What this tells us is that modernity can also be achieved in Africa without either Christianity or Islam ,or any other religions for that matter. The idea that Christianity equals economic development was essentially eurocentric in context. It was done to propagate Christianity throughout the world just because the Europeans were the first to modernize. The Europeans even argued further that to develop u need a multi-party democracy, free market economy, and a European language.But all these things have been shattered with the experiences of China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan.


To argue that Africa would have remained in darkness without Christianity or Islam shows lack of understanding of human social evolution.It can be argued that there are many causes of African backwardness,however ,religion in the form we practice it definitely remains one of them. Religion has been used to reforce the authority of our political leaders. In today Nigeria, religion has served as a tool of social divisions rather than cohesion, and our politicians have been adept in using religion to further polarize the nation for the their selfish ends.


The biggest cause of Africa backwardness, I think, was colonial rule together with slave trade. Colonial rule truncated African natural social evolution ,just as other continents evolved,and its ability to borrow from others rather than being forced to follow a course alien to the continent. Today in addition to our backwardness, we are unable to develop our languages to serve as useful languages for teaching and learning of science. If Africa various kingdoms had been allowed to evolve naturally perhaps the more powerful ones would have conquered the weaker ones to create nations with strong national identities.Another possibility was that different ethnic groups large enough to make nation would have evolved with minorities being brought into larger ones, this definitely would have reduced the ethnic tensions we have today .



The reason some are blaming religion is because religion has made many become unreasonable.Religion has become a rally point for Nigerians to a degree that national identity is lost.We now believe that everything is going to be done by God even if we refuse to take a step. That is foolish of us. Religion cannot solve economic problems. If anything, it only adds to it by encouraging stupid ideas like praying to a certain God for wealth even when we are not working. Religion has stifled the necessary innovation in us by asking us to hate the world.


Religion has also destroyed the solidarity in us as black people who are supposed to empathize with one another having suffered the same oppression in the hands of Arabs and Europeans. We seem more comfortable empathizing with white and Arab peoples who are either Christians or Muslims than our fellow black people with whom we differ on religious beliefs.We hate ourselves and love our oppressors. This is the reality of religion today in Nigeria.

GoodBoi1:

It is not different in Nigeria.

The rich world wide are above the law, the rich own a nation.

Why talking about christanity as if it is the only religion in Africa. What happened to Islam? Christians and Muslims which are the dominant religion are the cause of our backwardness in Africa.

Chukwudi4naija:
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 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 that can 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 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.

CodeTemplar:
The question is before most people become religious and start going to vigil, what was their work ethic like?
You just another demonized soul looking to blame religion for your shortcomings.
Before white men gave us both religion what was our work ethic like?. Did the white man's religion also force us to sell ourselves as slaves to them?

And you just another buffoon that has run out of ideas and sees demons in everything. Religion is bad for your brain son. Just look at the first argument u latch on to: demons. Lol. Fvcking clown.

That work ethic u mentioned would have been improved if religion does not encourage their indolence and provides excuses for them. Excuses like witches and the stuff that morons like u like to use: demons. Lol.

Religion and 'leaders' are both guilty.
Religion is the main cause.
Religion breeeds poverty
Religion breeeds sloth.
Religion is regressive.
Religion is enslaving.

The more you're on your knees, the less productive and progressive you are.

Religion is a contributing effect to serious poverty among the black race....

Plenty of black men are religiously dumb.

The truth is that we don't need religion in this country!

If we want Nigeria to develop, we must do away with religion and embrace scientific reasoning. We must also create a strong legal system filled with men and women of integrity.

Religion discourages logical reasoning and encourages mediocrity.
Most religious nations are poor and corrupt except few of them that depend on proceeds gotten from religious enslavement of gullible blacks...

Why talking about christains alone. What about Muslims that constitue about 50% of the our population?

When we talk about things, people, it's usually based on more or less, most active or less active, majority or minority, minimum or maximum. The fact that, party A won an election, doesn't mean party B didn't have any vote.

Now looting is everywhere, but compare the rate here in Nigeria and the US or UK.

Be patient with reading with the aim to understand ( you're not a baby, to only understand when things are in bits) , so that you don't end up a disgraceful element...

Pls, read my first point and this time slowly.

What happened to Islam? Are you scared to criticize them? Because christainty is not voilent that is why you can talk anyhow Sha.

true, the space of the brain meant to think deep ,to explore ,to be inquisitive is already taken over by religious beliefs that it leaves no room for logicality.

It shows you know nothing OP religion is the mother of politics....she gave birth to all the tricks everused in politics today, religion gave birth to political parties


AM NOT AGAINST YOUR WHITE MANS RELIGION NO

ITS JUST MOST OF YOU DON'T USE YOUR HEAD....YOU JUST DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING A MAN OF GOD both Christian, Muslims, jews...SAID PROVIDED HE READ A VERSE IN THE HOLY BOOK TO BACK HIS MOTIVE UP

A thousand likes for you bro, further more, they should stop wearing clothes, they should visit babalawos when they are sick, they should use donkeys, camels, horses etc whenever they want to travel, they should even quit the social media and go live their lives in huts and caves because all the aforementioned are products of the white man and his religion.

You sound dull sir. How did I advance the demon statement as an argument?

I simply asked questions to expose your demonized biased for attacking what makes you insecure. How has religion changed our productivity level? Either before its existence or after?
The most productive university in Nigeria is a religious one. The most charitable men are. Religion doesn't kill a society, bad work ethics and social value does and for your demonized bias to hold any water u must demonstrate how less religious folks have become more productive.

They always attack Christianity because it's the easiest to pick on cause of our peaceful disposition. Let them go to the shrine of sango and try such and see what's gona happen.
Truth is the devil runs the show in this world and many so called atheists and agnostics are actually covert satanists and devil worshippers so they are doing the will of their master Lucifer the so called "light bringer".
Truth is Jesus has conquered the world, no matter the attacks on Christianity it will continue to wax stronger and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
In fact the attacks will grow stronger in this end times as the sons and daughters of 'Belial' wax stronger but in the end they will all be destroyed at the great Battle of the Ages "Armageddon".

for christ sake, why would u believe such narrative. that is the white man telling you so that he can dominate you.

I give up. Honestly.

The Blackman is fundamentally deranged . not about christianity
