Maybe it is so, because Nigeria is practices religious fanaticism, maybe i can say, it is ingrained in their DNA, i am very poor in our historic knowledge, so i cannot say if we were barbaric before religion and so cannot prove that we are predisposed to a wild nature. Our Society does not seek harmony anymore, it is full of selfish people, so we seek validation before harmony, the religious fanaticism brings us validation and some prestige. Although our fanaticism will deprive us of healthy thinking, and our unhealthy validation without healthy thinking due to not seeking harmony fosters conflicts. Its seems the white men, knew we are predisposed to fanaticism or we cannot reason unless we are told what to do, so the religion they will bring will be effective in making us subservient and work for their benefits, while disregarding our own growth and harmonious coexistence. But in that case India and the central Asia/Balkan regions reminds me about the power of religious indoctrination, which brings violence and shows that indoctrination can be very deadly despite harmonious values.

Don't know what you talking bro...I'm still praying...listening to msgs like when I left...maybe not churches cos my church is far but I attend a local church here...not weekly like in naija...but I value my spiritual life more than all the £ here. I still find time to wake at night and pray...it's a culture or maybe cos I live alone but I won't stop praying and seeking God the longest I live. 3 Likes |

"Should we all leave this country and runaway? No, all of us aren't meant to travel overseas." I muttered those words. Yeah.... but my name is not "all of us". You weigh your cons and pros, what is working for you and what's not, then make a decision that will help you and probably your family..... since few or none cares here and the government cares for their pockets. |

Religion is a serback to Africa and Africans.. it's a calculated attempt to render us stupid. Religion is the evil affecting our develpoments in every facet of life. All Nigeria general overseers owning mega business centrrs need to be arrested and jaiked for life because they are the ones who are further promoting the scams in religion because of thier own selfish intrest. When you have the opportunity to travel to a saner environment, it is then you will realise that religion is a modern day slavery/,bondage. Africans walk into in foolishly and are made to believe they are in the right place. 3 Likes |

Well yes. It is in darkness that we see demons everywhere. With 24hr light in every nook and corner, the demons have no place to hide and torment poor Nigerians. When you have certainties of the basic necessities of life, when your upward mobility becomes solely dependent on your hardwork and innovative thinking, you have no reasons to suspect your village people. You realize that ignorance is the disease that kills people physically and mentally. 1 Like |

Outside Nigeria, time is money. Here, people work. Sunday, Christmas etc if your work falls on those days. If you don't work, who will pay your bills? You don't have the luxury of time to spend in religious places like it's done in Nigeria. If jobs are available to citizens, Nigerians will no longer be exploited by religious leaders. 2 Likes |

Good for you, i also attend church, but i struggle, its not in my nature to be religious, rather being knowledgeable is more important for me. And for me it seems God is like a Father and a good influence. My child like tendency for curiosity and wanting to learn new things everyday, makes me a weak religious follower. But Spirituality has brought me Joy and a strong compass. fykes: |

This doesn't mean that people are not religious here. They worship God but moderately. What we are praying to God to do for us in Nigeria is what government does in caring nations without begging. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Most material prayers are answered in those countries But after you accumulate materials you find emptiness The suicide rate went high during Covid till date when government provided plenty of money and food and accommodation reprieves for everyone That’s why you realize spiritual connection to God through Jesus Christ in the Power of the Holy Spirit is not only necessary but essential So you connect to God not for materials, but your source as Creator, Guard, Guide and Fulfilment Houses of worship shut down and folks were killing thwmswlves like flies The churches had the highest number of online steamers ever 2 Likes 1 Share |

omonnakoda: Roman 8: 16 The Spirit himself testify with our spirit that we are God's children. When your desire is to see the kingdom of God establish on earth.... it's a sign you love him. If it pleases you to do the will of the father always, through witnessing and evangelizing, it's a sign that you love God. If your desire is to serve him and to be in his presence always, it's a sign that you love God. If you feel sorry for your sins and errors and you are remorseful just to settle with him. It's a sign you love him. Your love for God should not be conditioned to location or circumstance. 1 Like 1 Share |

faceLAGOS: Poverty is perceived as a spiritual thing in Nigeria most especially among the xtians and some certain religions. Poverty is seen as a spell being cast upon a generation. Poverty is a mystery to us. However, poverty is simply lack of financial education, Lack of cash, lack of property. You dont need prayers and fasting to be successful or rich. All u need is knowledge, expertise and connection most especially in Nigeria. Learn how to make money in a legit way and u will be rich! 1 Like 1 Share |
