Churches are not the problem but are part of the problems. Let me give u a few instances some churches contribute to the problems of Nigeria: 1. Some churches no longer preach hard work, love for others, mutual respect, piety, fear of God etc but miracles, prosperity,and emphasis on tithing and other monetary contributions etc. 2. Some churches do not allow their poor and unemployed members to look for work, rather, they organise various programmes to keep them perpetually in the church day and night and 7 days a week. You see churches organizing programmes on Monday morning, vigil every night etc. 3. Churches do not question the sources of money contributed by the members. This is why a civil servant could pay N600m in tithe to a church and everyone kept quiet. However, these problems are not limited to churches as Islamic organisations also indulge in those acts. My point is that churches ought to serve as the bacon of moral standards in the society. 2 Likes |

lakesider:People practice religion for one reason or the other, not necessarily because they believe in God. Many people go to Church today for political and financial reasons, not to seek the face of God. Don't expect this kind of people to be Christlike. I can categorically say 90% of Christians in Nigeria go to Church for the wrong reasons. 1 Like |

solutionsnow: I am not against the church of Christ bt i will say a church dat cannot be responsible or takecare of its membership or commoner in its congregation cannot possibly takecare of a whole country. It is a fallacy. Charity starts from home. U can not give what u don't have. To say the church has no business or effect on the existence or effectiveness of a country is a great disservice to the church and a great lack of sense of responsibility. Do u even know how many politicians come to or interact with churches? Are all the people in govt muslim or atheist?? |

AkpaMgbor:We're always waiting for miracles. We're tied down by religion & superstition. We don't believe in investment. The Church has turn to alternative business for some fraudsters. CAN should be empowered to close down mushroom churches & spiritual houses. On the other hand, religion is also the route of global terrorism. Extreme fanatical religious ideology is what is propagating violence. |

oneolajire: For ur info I grew up quite closely with the church i hv seen the good, bad and ugly of the church setting. That's why i stated im not against the church of Christ dat believes in Christ principles. Not sm shams we have now. Pls understand me b4 drawing funny conclusions. I am not against tithe or church growth bt to say the church has not responsibility in the poor state and situations in the country is equally a joke. The church plays a crucial part good or bad. |

felixomor: Jesus as not born a Christian. He did not die a Christian. before he died, He never instructed that anyone should open any kind of religion in his name. In fact he was even against the established religion in Israel at that time. He always said his people should worship him in spirit n in truth n not in houses. Christianity never came from Christ, It was a Roman runs. Meanwhile the Israelites never at any point called or recognized Jesus as God from his birth to death n up till this day. |

A very nice article!! People will always blame christians, but many of them have never impacted a soul around them. You are the one that even have time for them; just focus on the great things you are doing. People can continue all their complaints but let me end with quote from one of my great philosophers; You don't win an Olympic gold by just four weeks training. Great law firms, great carriers, great companies, great nations are all built the same way; by dedication, commitment, vision and daily action. People should continue complaining while the rest of the world leave Africa behind. Underdevelopment and backwardness is the order of the day in Africa. Yet many are still laughing or joking about it not knowing the consequences of what is facing this continent. |

AkpaMgbor: Christianity in America n Europe never at any point in history penetrated their society like it did in Nigeria. Meanwhile only 30% of the American populace identify as Christians n many of the self professed Christians don't ever step foot in church. No one said Nigeria failed because of Christianity, Daddy freeze never said so as well. Rather Christianity is part of the problem in Nigeria n its a very serious problem. |

oneolajire:lol.. am not surprised you coughed out this kind of reply. but let me take you back to the scripture, Samuel and Saul, Nathan and David, ahab and Elijah.. and all other prophets.. only Solomon whose time there was no record of any disagreement with a prophet. even Jesus was not lived by the Pharisees and saducees.. the point is not create enimity.. but like I said.. the aforementioned prophets stood their ground for justice, and godliness and would not condole it even from the most powerful men of their time.. that's what kept Israel sane and acceptable before God.. the minute few who are bold to say the truth are not and cannot be in the limelight.. and your revered pastors knows that the day they choose to speak the truth and act along... there will opening of can of worms.. yes.. I repeat can of worms.. they are as rotten as the politicians.. it's a simple partnership, politicians ravish the people by denying them dividends of democracy, religions leaders are to ensure the mindset is prepared to accept, adapt to the crumps they get and more importantly use them as a tool for political leverage. pls ask yourself again how did. a commissioner became a vice president... ? |
