YoungLionken: Ur annual budget in 2019 is less than the education budget of common south Africa, so what is there to loot? It is in America n UK that u find money to loot. Most Nigerians do not know what the problem of the nation is. U are quite a disgrace. |

The Chinese that you just quoted were very religious "Buddhism, Taoism etc" as at time of those inventions, 'please try do some findings'. It was just recently they are trying to shift away from religion. Damod88: |

anonimi: Flash back to the Roman civilization and the ancient Sumerian kingdom and you will see that Africans were hunted as animals even then. Old Asian empires still were better than the African ones, if at all any African ones existed that far back. Sheba/Egypt were the only good things about Africa, and note how close they are to Asia. A little further back and you will see that outside of Africa has already been governed by a modicum of civilization long before Africans were colonized. |

Khaleell001:why can't our leaders embrace science and technology like them? it goes beyond that. It requires awareness too. Awareness of what should be rightly done . Self -discipline without awareness will defeat the self -discipline itself. When the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. When the purpose of leadership is not known abuse is inevitable. religion was suppose to create awareness of the faulty education system we have in this country but they keep mute hoping miracles from God. This isn't how religious people practice their religion in developed nations. again, when the purpose of not stealing, not cheating, not looting and not being nepotism is not known, abuse is inevitable. Religions can stand against all these negative vices, but do they tell people why they should abstain from them? I don't think so. The only reason religion has made people to understand is that if you commit these vices or evil you will go to hell fire. What a weak sense deterent? |

NPComplete:No doubt you made some valid point concerning the ills of religion in our society today. But in my opinion, religion cannot be said to be the reason Africa is under developed. The major challenge rest squarely on the failure in leadership. |

princeogbeide1: Alright... I think I agree with ur point...but I’m gonna be a bit long... please indulge me. since u dropped relegion what have u invented to make Nigeria better....slow down, don’t get me wrong...I’m not trying to wash u, I’m trying to make a point.. I’m not even very religious...I do believe there’s an intelligence behind an intelligent creation.. we couldn’t have just arrived here by some random cosmic mistake... logically, that’s not even logical possible... Having faith and practicing religion is like a hobby, hobby can’t stop u from getting to your goals and developing unless u are lazy and dull, that’s what Africans are we’ve being lazy and dull since time began... all thanks to nature though that technically made us this way by giving us all the good thing on this side of the world... we had no reason to quickly think to circumvent the challenges of soil that has biotic and abiotic stress, winter, migration of animals due to cold and fish to the bottom of the lake when the top gets frozen... don’t u wonder why the coldest part of the world taught of refridgirator first... u think it’s craving for cold water that caused it.... they had to cos it was the only way to preserve before they taught more and came up with better ways like genetic manipulation..it’s simple, necessity leads to Invention... Corruption and evil mind set now sealed our problem more, we have always had it inside us, that’s what’s affecting black man now it has always been in us. long before relegion came we sold our fellow neighbors to the whites for mirror, comb, spoon... why?? Greed and wickedness..we sacrifice our neighbors, when slight scarcity of food came we became cannibals, or haven’t u heard some people who eat humans.??. that’s how bad we are at thinking.. did relegion say eat ur neighbour?? the third reason....is still back to the first point, nature made us that way... we are takers from nature we see something we take, we take, we don’t look for how to make it...that’s why we are so rich and still look for foreign aid, we are horrible, we are at the bottom of the food chain..it will take a lot to make us evolve and develop..eradicating religious Practice/hobby won’t put survival pressure on Africans and make them develop it sounds like a very stupid and fallaciously conclusive statement that if u eliminate religion it will automatically lead to development..it’s like saying if I give my cheating girlfriend more money she will no longer think of cheating...wake up, ur girlfriend is a bitchh that’s just likes to hop on multiple d!cks. Don’t get deceived by the whites, we blacks are concluding wrongly conjuring an inverse relationship between development and relegion...while I partly agree that r legion has caged some people it has only caged people without vision or goal.. development is beyond science and tech.. development abroad has also ushered in strange practices like the gay lifestyle, transgender, gender fluidity where boys are raised as girls and vice versa administering biological blockers to children as early as 4 years just so we can have our desired gender outcome, Beastiality, cocaine is now getting legal, prostitution abortion, all this things are human nature that won’t thrive cos a lot of people are religious and will speak against it. Just this year gay sex was introduced into schools of aged 4-10yrs old in the UK...the Muslims in Brighton countered it and protested making a sit at home order for their children, they had to shut it down in most of the schools.... these are the reason religion is fast being attacked and dropped people like to have fvck, get high, even kill with out being judged for it..don’t u get why their government has to come in to make everything legal, prostitution legal, drugs legal, gambling now legal. it will soon even be okay to kill a new born baby that’s just 28days and below old, because it is believed A baby starts to have consciousness and considered human after the 29th or 30th day. Meaning, after u deliver and u realize u don’t want again, u can still kill it before day 29.. an atheist came up with that study and it’s being deliberated upon. It’s also development engineered towards population control ..whateva is wrong b4 can become fine once the government says so... relegion isn’t eradicated, it’s is rebranded as the government who gives us freedom to do what our derailed mind craves and cage us another way.. relegion never leaves, it’s always in plain sight |

Not at all my fella, I am a christian and my concern is how our Christianity will get better. I have found a convincing encounter that justify why Christianity...christ-like is a practice to recon with. Those that are not in it is left for them. I am not a religious bigot so I cannot criticise other religion. My prayer to those that are not ChristiansChristians iso that God should mqke them have an encounter just like Saul...Paul and they will be the once champion Jesus Christ's mandate without anyone pushing anyone to be Christians.

princeogbeide1:So Africa as a continent is poor and backward because people go to church and donate money to pastors and female followers sleep with pastors. by dat, u r only attributing religion to Christianity forgetting we have Islam and others. think of it. how could all that be the reason Africa is backward. as far as am concern, it takes good leadership for a country to be developed. If Africa has creative, innovative and sincere leaders, I bet you it would be relatively better than wat it is today. |

CodeTemplar:like every other religious people go to church or mosque for acceptance too. Let's call a spade a spade, leaders are choosen from among the people. If the people are having wrong mindset there is greater probability that leaders with wrong mindset will also be choosen from among them. 98% of Nigerian people are religious people, where do they get their wrong mindset from? From their parents at home ofcourse. Does religion have the capacity to correct the mindset of the populace? Ofcourse they do, going by the content of their religious holy books. Jesus Christ preached love, Muhammad preached peace. But does our religious leaders making use of these great values of the religious books to teach people effectively? The answer is capital no! They will rather inculcate the faulty values of African tradition against the love and peace of Jesus Christ and Muhammad respectively, why? Because they want to please the people and their tradition. See adeboye, oyedepo and kumuyi for example, they are all very traditional and cultural inclined against ethics and love.

Of course, religion is not the problem. Places like China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, UK, Italy, Egypt, Spain have shown development and industry despite religion. The problem is that religion is an easy tool to use and achieve many aims. So the leaders and the led use religion for their selfish gain. |
