Concerning number one, I hope you are aware of the current moral decadence in some of these white countries? I hope you can also equate the level of immorality in those countries to the absolute freedom granted a child once he or she is born? For me, I believe in correcting a child to make him great later in life. Period. However, I am not saying a child must be spanked for every offence.

SOME NIGERIA CHRISTIAN PRACTICES THAT WHITE PEOPLE DON’T DO

It’s amazing how we have taking Christianity to a very funny stage in Nigeria or let me say Africa at large. The white men brought the religion with a free gift of the bible as a guide in our day to day activities. Funny enough with the present situation in the developed world right now, whites had moved far away from what is written in there, in fact, they will soon release another Bible if care is not taken which will be entirely different from the initial one. We can say their advancement is as a result of asking questions even from the things written in the bible (age of enlightenment ) which has enabled them to experience unimaginable development especially advancement in technology. Though some of their advancement (enlightened level) shows they are very close to the devil’s position (homosexuality legalization for instance). As for Africa , Nigeria in particular , we are still at the level of the Europeans during the mediaeval period . Those were the period when the papacy were using religion to exploit the Europeans. They moved from that that stage immediately they started asking questions. History for another day.
Let me share some Christians practices that we engage in Nigeria but whites never practice.

1. (1) CHILD SPANK
African Christian parents justify beating their wards by quoting the Bible verse that says "madness is in the heart of a child and only cane can dissolve it" Bible scholars should help reconstruct the verse and find it for us in the bible. Meanwhile, in the developed world if u beat your child anyhow and your child reports you or your neighbor gets to know ,you may face jail term and lose that child to the government. I never reach airport before but I was told. People abroad could shed more lights pls. My people is this not funny? What do we call this? When you see some Christian mums beating their children and at the same time quoting that particular passage in the bible ,you may be tempted to curse who put that passage their . The benefit or otherwise of such actions is a debate for another day .


2. TELEVISION SET
Some churches in Nigeria term television set as instrument of the devil. Imagine! Meanwhile the giver of this religion produce and distribute these gadgets to all parts of the world and they still server the same God they introduce to us. I learnt they are now buying it but always well kept at the inner room from the view of visitors.

3) NO FAN, NO AC IN CHURCH
I was invited to a church one day and I discovered that as big as the church was there was no single fan their and no AC. As soon as you enter, they will hand you a hand fan . The church in actually fact was well ventilated -door like windows. Another time I was invited to same church in another town, I saw the same thing. so , I asked my friend my observation , she told me that they design the church that way so that church members wouldn’t feel so comfortable under the fan to the extent of sleeping . I was like is that the practice all over the world? she said no , that it only affects churches in most part of Africa . I was like “je-su! Funny enough this church is rich and you only have one in a town. why do we have to suffer ourselves this much ?


4) NO MEDICINE
Some churches will never use drug. Using of drug to them is a sin. One of my friends lost her two sisters to this doctrine. My friends and I had the thought of kidnaping her and take her to a doctor sometimes ago when she was almost giving up the ghost when she had measles . Also ,its forbidden to purse a health related carrier in that church . I am sure nobody dare to do this in the western world . people abroad please we need your opinion here .

5) add yours …

Very true, could remember a man who died of ruptured appendicitis, the pastor said he would be healed by prayers and fasting. When the case got extremely worse and the stuff burst inside his stomach the pastor disappeared.

Another thing is some churches asking their followers not to undergo operation during childbirth, this and many more are the reason why lots of women die in labor after exhausting their energy "pushing"
i think such pastors need to be arrested and charge for murder
Re: Some Nigeria Christian Practices That White People Don’t Do by aiksneffects: 11:15am On Jan 31, 2016
White Christians actually practice all the above except the weird "no fan or no medicine ". The problem of not applying those biblical practice is not because white Christians are ignorant of it but because of stupid and crazy government political correctness. Like here in the UK or other western countries, government through the child support services have invade families and take away their children because of spanking or biblical disciplining of their children.



Spanking children is a clear biblical instruction as a way to discipline the kids. It is well all over the book of proverbs. Look at stupid spoiled children who never got spanked or disciplined and compare to those of us who got spanked both by our parents or school teachers.

Proverbs 13:24
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Note: Bible does not recommended toture of a child as many wicked parents do.

Television today is filled with nudity and a lot of anti God programme including witchcraft, Hollywood brainwashing movies, sodomy, adultery etc.

Psalm 101:3 (KJV)

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

A lot of white Christians advocate for child abuse.

There are some who argue that it is okay for a man to beat his wife.

A lot of parents in Europe and north America do not like their children watching TV, both religious and non-religious. TV is a programming tool and largely a waste of time.

We will take every step necessary to ensure no questions will ever be asked. Free enquiry into belief has the status of sin amongst African people.To us, blind obedience to religious authority is the purest form of freedom. The only way we will leave the mediaeval period is when Jesus comes down to carry us out of it, and we will wait forever and ever for this event - long, long after the Asians, Europeans and others have left this world for new worlds circling other suns...

Perhaps we'll wait until they finally return to Earth thousands of years later. Then we'll know for sure that Jesus has not forgotten us - that he has come back as a White or Yellow man to let us serve him once more...


...and serve we will. On bended knee.

No questions. For He is Lord...

See, most churches in Europe have been turn to cinema houses, they were empty with no activities or purpose so had to be put to work... Let the truth be told, poverty of the mind and of course impoverishment based on economic situation makes a man embrace religion.

In most development countries,the government provides all basic needs of life for it citizens. Even welfare packages and stipend for homeless, unemployed and less privileged. They see their government as there ''GOD'' and hold them accountable.. But a pastor in naija will have a prayer point prepared for all the above listed..

Every society passes through stages. I must say the western world is 300 to 500 ahead of others. Even the western world passed through what we're now going through. One of the examples that really changed things in Europe is the French Revolution of 1789
Africa hasn't reached that stage of scientific enlightenment but we're heading there.

You don't really make any sense. I don't know what is special about your so called western world. The so called western world were killing, raping and destroying civilization as early as 400 Years ago. Spain was a third world country as early as 70 years ago.

Religion is a disease that courses people to lost their thinking faculty, it causes slavery of the mind and destroy people use of logic. We believe in so many white God that we hardly think good of ourself, we kill ourself all in the name of books that doesn't really make any sense from logical point of view.

Pastors take 10% of an average income of Nigeria Christian but the same Christian can't pay 5% to government as tax to help developed infrastructure, provide security. We all blame government for poor service but how many of us pay our tax or contribute anything meaningful to our nation?

I disagree with you on your last point. Television is good for children when they watch good contents. Good contents like adventure, news channel, education Channels, foreign affairs and rated movies, but things like African magic, all music channels and religious channels destroy their ability to think critically.

. Have read through many comments and non seem to say anything as regards how the Bible admonish us to conduct ourselves both in worship and our everyday life. No where is it written in the Bible that medicament is bad. The Bible talks about plants being for the healing of the world and most drugs are from plants. As for discipline with, I'm sure a lot of here can say the cane corrected some ills in us but everything should be done in moderation. Spare the rod and spoil the child the Bible said, don't ask me where is in it, search it out yourself cos that's why the Internet(e-bible) is there. No fan or ac in church isn't a practice OP. Some of your writeups are without proper checking of facts. Don't deceive people please, and of your reading this, read the Bible yourself and make reference to the book whenever you feel uncomfortable with a teaching.

Absolutely! %10000000 fact, as sad as it sounds, in some developed countries the government even build and provide churches which when one makes an effort to attend the church are ussually empty because people has been provided basic needs hence no reason to attend church.
