BigBashiru:


I have gone there and see no local refining being done; what I see is useless youths vandalizing pipelines and stealing oil in search of QUICK MONEY.

And where are those blacksmiths today?? Haven't they left it in search of QUICK moni?

And where is the igbo calendar today?

You are just talking ancient things. The inventions of the white man: electricity and airplane are all there for all to see and you are telling me about calendars and ancient pyramids in Egypt.

I have no inferiority complex. The average Nigerian has a very wicked, selfish and vain glory mindset. The culture in Nigeria is entire opposite of the culture in Europe.

Africa is the most backward continent becos Africans are a useless ppl.

Okay African presidents feel no shame going for medical treatment in Europe - by going for medical treatment in Europe, they have accepted white supremacy!

You are right. we are selfish and greedy. But have you asked yourself why these things were not obtainable prior to the coming of the white man? Ask yourself that. we have been made to see ourselves as competitors. Besides when was electricity and aeroplane discovered? Was it not recently. I'm telling you innovations that we had befire the white man even addressed himself as a European. slavery and colonialism disrupted our course of development. It also allowed the white enough time to focus on other things because he benefitted from cheap and unpaid labour supplies from Africa.

in the Niger delta especially in the swamp people use diesel and petrol. they don't buy it from the filling stations. The bunkerers refine these things. A boat trip by 2am in the Night would show you.

You just contradicted yourself, if Africans had their religions and beliefs before the arrival of the whites and the Arabs and yet were so backward then, that means our problem is not wholly religious, it is far beyond that.

y3mi:
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.

A driver about to leave the park for a long journey in Nigeria, an idiotic pastor comes to say a prayer and that’s it. A driver wants to leave a park for a long journey in the United States, he gives a compulsory safety speech with no prayers to go with it. Where do we have more accidents? Enough said.

sassysure:
Religion cripples the mind.

It's cancerous.

What it's doing to able bodied men and women compelled me to hate it with passion.

Reduces an average man's IQ to minus 1.

Remove religion and Africa will become super power

Funny enough, those that introduced religion to us especially Christianity has long left the system.
Muslim countries like Dubai and Turkey makes me think if their religious beliefs are simply for decorative purposes as they don't abide by the Islamic codes most of the time.

Turkey developed rapidly when they adopted secularism into their politics. Erdogan has been attempting to reverse this subtly but there's still public pushback against any outright attempt to mix religion with the state

CodeTemplar:
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.

Look at this goat calling his uncle dull.

You just another demonized soul looking to blame religion for your shortcomings.

That's what u said. And now u are asking me how u advanced the demon argument. Are you that much of a fool? Are u so incontinent u do not even know how to gather your thoughts before coming online to display stupidity?
Religion has always been in existence before and after Christianity. You are the idiot who is interpreting my argument about religion-induced superstition.

How is the most productive university in Nigeria being religious one helping your argument? I hate arguing with morons. Get your ass together bro. Think!!! You are not looking at the hidden variables. It is the most productive because there is a lot of money going there and the people schooling there aren't the average Nigerians. And granted that, are they even the most productive in the world?

I don't blame u. What does a religious mind know about logic? Now fvck off my mentions I just wasted brain cells engaging u. You first mention should have been ignored because it showed u don't know how to think.

Religious leaders are also leaders

alBHAGDADI:

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.

Wawu!!! Sir alBHAGDADI, I'm with you on this 100℅.

I just had same discussion with my elder bro this morning. He was saying that religion is the cause if Africa's problems (and of course, he was referring to churches and their leaders), but then I had to tell him what I've been telling others that (Christian) religion is not the problem in Africa but bad leadership which is the main reason for the backwardness in terms of technological and mental development.

You just said what I had in mind, and you said it the way I wanted it to be spoken.. Thank God this one made front page..

FOLYKAZE, CAPSLOCKED, Hahn, HopefulLandlord comman see ooo

gly:
You are point sir on this, but you failed to add the fact that the MODE OF PRACTICE makes the difference.
The way we in Africa....Nigeria as a case study do our religious practices couple with bad leadership (across all levels...church inclusive) is what has put us where we are.

Not until we understand what is expected of us we will keep groping in the dark and far from being 21st century development.

Explain what u mean by this difference in Mode of Practice so we can understand better how it has affected our country’s development negatively unlike in the west pls.

I have a lot of issues with our religious practices bt I can’t blame it entirely for the problems we face. I can probably give it say 20/30% bt the masses get 40 and the leaders 40%

paxonel:
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?

Did religion teach them how to how during election and give you the opposite during power

Did religion tell them not to tackle insecurity

Did religion tell them to siphon public funds

Did religion teach them to neglect your needs and focus on thier wellbeing

Did religion teach them not to give you good roads, good education system, good electricity or even a better salary?

let's drop sentiment and face the reality

Tellemall:


Lol.

The picture does not appear to belong here. However, in Black Panther there were people with such piercings and it does not look bad. I think it reflects African culture, where that fits in here is a puzzle.

But it doesn't fit African culture. Most don't do such.

paxonel:

But you have laeders of other advanced countries like Qatar and the UAE who religious but still embrace technology and science.
So, what are you talking about?

I personally think it boils down to self discipline and the moral background of such leader.

Religion has not played any role in making them who they are but their personal choices.

Ask yourself;
Does religion advocate stealing, cheating, nepotism, looting and all other vices?

iF you can prove these then you can concretely blame religion for all that is going on.

Xbee007:

Are you black or white?

Mandeyy:
Those pastors are conmen, although it's not all of them. However, Christianity is not the problem. Even the Whites also believe in miracles; ours is stupidity. People often say that Asians are not religious. It's not true. What do we call Buddhism? What do we call Hinduism? I strongly believe it's the mindset of Africans that drags them back. Even Islam is not antithetical to civilization; it's the way Africans practise it. Is United Arab Emirates not Islamic? But Dubai is one of the most visited cities in the world, because it has attained a great height in development. Even African leaders that go to church are not Christians biblically. They're more of occultists who hide under the cloak of Christianity to perpetrate evil. Africa's poor development and backwardness were and are still being caused by devilish, heartless and corrupt leaders. It has nothing to do with religion or specifically Christianity.

You use Dubai as an example. Why did you ignore Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Pakistan and Bangladesh?

All unstable, backward countries.

UAE has a small population with millions of foreigners engaged in all of the meaningful work. It is not a suitable example for your argument. The aforementioned list of nations is more appropriate.

mmsen:

I can't agree or disagree that Africans do or do not do such.

I've been to a country where topless African women make entrances into the malls. Their only clothing being some skins around their waists. In developed Africa.

I guess if we used pictures of them half clothed on the escalators, with cow dung and clay for hair, as a reflection of Africa there might be some offence taken.

Africans and always looking for what to blame for itz shortcomings... smh


Till we start taking responsibilities for our failure, we aint heading any where.

malvisguy212:
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?

religion plays a big role as to why the continent is backward

the was Africans PRACTICE and perceive religion (whatever religion it might be) is the reason for Africa backwardness
.denying this is self delusion

[quote author=Lekison post=80480067][/quote]Compared to you Saudi Arabia and Dubai are developed,

Compared to the Developed World there's NOTHING about them that is outstanding..

Does any of these two countries MANUFACTURE a PIN in their country?

Take away oil money from Saudi Arabia and what EXACTLY do they have to boast about?

And don't think that because Italy is the sit of Vatican that they are that religious,

And even in Italy the more RELIGIOUS South are more IMPROVERISHED,LESS DEVELOPED and CRIME RIDDLED than the less RELIGIOUS NORTH..

The truth is bitter,

The MOST RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES on earth are the MOST POOR,

AFRICA.

MIDDLE EAST.

SOUTH AMERICA..

There are many outrageous things Africans do in their countries. The lip plate isn't new. unclothedness isn't new. They're all a stamp of Africa.

So it is not entirely offensive. The purpose of the image is the only thing to contend.

BigBashiru:


Is that your excuse? Accepting the black man's failure hits the ego hard but it's necessary and the first step to progress.

Let black Africans accept that they hv failed (it will be hard on the ego) and then partner with successful races and find out what made then suvcessful. I believe it's best to have Nigerians ruled by foreigners since no progress since 1960.

I think we need to do a kind of self criticism for us to move forward.

True talk.

afroxyz:


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.

Ham's descendants are interpreted by Flavius Josephus and others as having populated Africa and adjoining parts of Asia. The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51; 105:23,27; 106:22; 1 Chronicles 4:40.

The narrative makes sense. The African case is beyond normal. Also review the link below (copy it and paste don't click directly). .

Tellemall:
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 and 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.

were the whites and Asians not like this in the distant past

NPComplete:
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.

Because some people misinterpret or misuse religion does not make it bad

Fact

They are more Christians in America than in Nigeria

Deeply religious countries like Israel, saudi arabia, qatar, uae, bahrain, algeria and so on are doing wonders

The black man has a problem, and it has nothing to do with religion

Christianity is not a religion in the first place, its a way of life.

You are damn wrong. The white man had to fight religion to achieve progress. Read about Galelio and the Catholic Church. And Europe was not responsible for all inventions.The Chinese invented paper, printing, compass, gunpowder and fire works. These inventions paved the way for subsequent inventions.

The African people are the reason for our backwardness not our leaders. We fear too much and no one wants to die. If the leaders see people who are ready to die for their children to have good lives, I am telling u that Africa will be beta than Europe in another 50 years. It's in the hands of the people and not the leaders, the leaders are praying the masses never wise up.

THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi HRM

Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.

There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.
Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.

Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.

So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.

China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.

America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.

Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!

Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor Masses.
