Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God?

Why do Nigerians like to worship so-called gods of men.


First and foremost, they are mere mortals. Humans like everyone else.


I don't want to mention names,  but I thought Jesus is the key.

or maybe its that,

These men are doing a good job brainwashing.

Nne, what men are you talking about?

Madamkoko, It is not just Nigerians but the black race as a whole. I believe the reason black countries
worldwide have not been able to progress compared to their white/latin/asian counterparts

is due to this idol worshipping you have eloquently highlighted. Black people must do away
with this for us to move forward and progress as a people.

Look at Communist China: Economy is BOOOMING!!!!


In fact, I think that religion is NOT taught in schools. They recognize religion as a tool of oppression.

Biko, do not bring the likes of China in to this. That place is nothing but propaganda and lies.

propaganda and lies, we all see proof of China's prosperity

@topic, maybe because they think it's their way to success/out of poverty.

@Onyinye2, please, the poster is right. If you've been to Nigeria or their churches, you'll know what we're talking about here.

@somebody, I think it's a Nigerian thing, don't know about the black race thingy.

I have been. And i have seen. Heck i live in the state where the great Joel Olsteen preaches. So i know a little something about these mega churches. What I'm saying is that if you are going to use an example, be it a county besides China.

Do you mean that Nigerians worship these men, to get themselves out of poverty?  or mean these so called gods of men brainwash people to get themselves out of poverty?

good question

Reasons why I know people go to church in Nigeria: has little to nothing to do with god or Jesus

Find a husband/wife
get contracts: you might rob elbows with a senator/politician/businessman
have a social life


Local churches are small. UNKnown people go there.

 
 
 

I am of the strong opinion that Nigeria will move forward and progress, if we can BAN religion.

Because then people will begin to see COMMONALITIES/SIMILARITIES rather than differences.

In rivers state back in the days.

El-shaddai Ministries was the place to be at.

Reason; The governor then worshipped there.

The pastor broke bread then, and rode some of the coolest cars.

Today, Hmm! _{(where did everybody go??)}          

@ Okija_juju   make you tell them jare

Nigeria will seize to exist in its present form if religion is banned. No doubt about this.

Aren't you a Christian, isn't it wrong to curse someone or your pastor didn't preach about that part. Anyways, I am not crazy. If Religion was BANNED in Nigeria, I am of the strong opinion that Nigeria will move forward drastically because people will be forced to think LOGICALLY. Individuals will begin to organize and take action (like AA did in the 1960s) even if we examine the 60s churches were used for political reasons and NOTHING more.

I am also of the strong opinion that Nigerians will begin to see SIMILARITIES/COMMONALITIES rather than differences if religion was banned.

I am NOT proposing that people should be punished for their religious beliefs. I am saying RELigion in Nigeria is a tool that has done nothing to divide people and has done absolutely nothing for the great continent.  

I hope and pray to never see the day when religion is banned in Naija. You see what happened in the last war? Multiple that by five, being that technology has advanced. All who support you, maka una should go and enlist. Let the world see how we kill our own fellow people. Let the world know that Nigeria is worse off then we thought.
