God is a fair God and all humans are his creation. Honesty is the best policy.
Truth is in Nigeria we don't even practice what the religion thought us, we don't like following rules, while in any advance country, they easily follow the rules even the mafias.
No matter how religion you are if you don't follows the rules of an objective you are bound to fail and vice versa.
Most advance country indirectly follow God rules like honesty, truth, sympathy, hard work, logical reasoning etc while most Nigerian directly disobeyed Gods law and obeying the devil through corruption, lying, hating ur neighbors, killings etc. our faith is just in the mouth not in the heart.

I am a christian, but Nigerian christians has got to be the dumbest in the world.
China is very successful based on the fact that they have been able to take out religious, ethnic, political (1 party system) etc bias that could hamper national goals and growth.
What they have right now is over 1billion citizens working together unified by one ideolgy and goals, it hard for such a country to fail.
See even the russians.

Nigerians are mostly not religious. They just use it to cover.
Nigerians generally are wicked and animalistic people that don't like progress.

stop shaming Christians by calling yourself one when you don't even know what's written in the Holy Book or you read it upside down. Every religion claim to serve God even those that butcher their fellow beings but only one religion believes in Jesus as the only Way to the Father. If you don't have this belief, you're on your own.
nah pple like u no Nigeria grow. I read bible and Quran...Muslims serve God through Prophet Mohammed(SAW)
And Christians serve God through Jesus (Prophet Yisa "AS"wink

Im tired of all these charlatans who threaten fire and brimstone on all who don't conform to their warped idea of Christianity. If you people are so powerful, why not tell us where Shekau is hiding or decree death upon him?

alBHAGDADI:

These days, it is common to see people compare the situation in Nigeria, which has a huge population of Christians, to that of China a non-christian country. The people who make such comparison often say China which doesn't believe in the Christian God is prosperous with modern technology, industries, good governance etc, while Nigeria which they say is highly religious is filled with corruption, bad governance, infrastructural decay, poverty etc.

When these people make such comparison, what they are saying is that Nigerians need to put religion aside and devote their time to work for their country"s development. Well, it is a good thing to work for the development of one's country, but putting religion (Christianity) aside is one big evil advice. They are basically saying we should abandon God and chart our course ourselves.

The people who make these statements are usually the people against tithing and also against going to Church. According to them, how come China that doesn't pay tithe or have Churches is prosperous than Nigeria which has countless Churches and tithe payers? To an untrained Christian, their talk can make you lose the love for the things of God, but only those who read the Bible regularly are the ones who will not fall. They will not fall for those satanic lies of theirs because they stand on the word on God, which is what we will stand on today.

Hebrews 12:6-11 King James Version (KJV)
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.


Did you read the Bible passage above? It speaks of God's children and other children who are bastards. Did you see what the passage said about what happens to the sons of God? It says they will be chastised because God loves them i.e if they do wrong, they will be disciplined for it. It went on to state that any son who doesn't get chastised by God is a bastard son or not God's son.

A quick illustration is this: If your child asks you why you don't beat the child across the street who does whatever he likes which are mostly things you hate as a father, what will be your answer? You will simply tell your child that that kid across the street is not your child and so you are not going to spank him for doing whatever he wants. But for your own kid, you will spank him when he errs and reward him when he does good.

This is exactly what is happening with China. They are not God's children because they reject Christianity. They have decided to chart their course by themselves and have removed God from the equation. To them they are right in their own eyes.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

God is not punishing them because they are not his children. That's why they prosper and get away with many things until judgment day.

But we his children, even though we may be going through trying times, we still prosper in the end. Example is Joseph whose brothers hated, sold into slavery and was locked up in jail. What later became his end? He was made second in command to the pharaoh of Egypt and was mightily blessed. What about Job? He was the most perfect and upright man in his region at the time but lost all he had in one day. He lost ten children, his cattle, sheep, camels etc. It became worse that he was even covered with sores. What was his end? God blessed him and all he lost were restored more than before.

Did Joseph or Job abandoned God during their trial period? No, they didn't. So, why are you paying attention to the voice that says you should dump God because Nigeria is going through a rough time? Why do you want to stop paying tithe because Dangote or Bill Gates who doesn't pay tithe is richer than you and they keep prospering? If you disobey God, he will discipline you as a father would. The reason why billionaires and non-christian are getting away with disobeying Good is simply because he's not punishing them because they are not his children. But he will destroy them in the end because he's their maker whom they failed to acknowledge.

Yes things are bad in Nigeria, but are they totally bad? Have you been to some African countries like Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone etc? Even Ghana respects us very much. But because we are not like China that is older than us, we are now being deceived to dump God and do whatever we like.

The day of reckoning is coming for all those who have abandoned God. Their destruction will be Swift and unexpected. But till then...

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .

The scammers will always look for excuse to defend their scams, is it the will of God that African/Nigeria should be poor/suffering as it is today?
Africa is known to be a dark continent not because there is no light here but because the people here have dark mindset.
No body is saying people should not worship God, Church is not God, Church is were you go for sober reflection, repentance, salvation of soul and to build good morals and better society, unfortunately the devil have infiltrated the Church using the Pentecostal/prosperity preaching to fulfill his mission according to John 10:10, to steal, to kill and to distroy.
The introduction of money Christianity is demonic and destructive.
How come the countries with less Church activities are living well and fulfilled life while your country with countless number of churches is the poorest?
Gal 6:7 for what so ever a man sowed shall he reap, stop deceiving yourself and others, you can only deceive the gullible fellows.
Righteousness exalt a nation but sin destroys it. You call yourself Christians yet there is no love among you, hatred all over the place etc. Even the same quotation you use to scam people in Malachi 3:10 warned against focusing on less important thing and doing that which is right/important. Your tithe seed and whatever you call it is useless before God if you don't have a forgiven heart.
Do the right thing and get a good result.

While it is good to give to God's work, I don't think building expensive schools, private jets, private businesses that the poor amongst you can't afford is not God's work.

See mumu thread. There is clear difference between going to church or mosque and being godly. Nigerians are good in the former and thus making them a mere hypocrites.

Nature and the Almighty One does not use religion to bless but blesses your labor / the works of your hands both brain and handwork.

Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Now look at all those countries so developed... their citizens and government are simply diligent & accountable in their place of work whether private or public or inventor. What is Nigeria producing? Nothing except religious hypocrites & zombies. They are happy going to church but quick to say "dem no dey put government work for head"... "na you wan repair Nigeria?"

Most Nigerians are not productive but just busy. Go to public sector and you will see clearly why that country will never prosper and will continue to be an hypocritical country. The same religious people are the ones taking bribes, stealing office properties / funds, fuc.king for promotion, cut corners, tribalist, invading tax, going late to work at 10am & writing 7:57am on record, not working but collecting steady salaries etcetera.

All those boyfriends & girlfriends fuc.king their lives out call themselves Christians too because they attend church lol.

Paddy paddy country instead of on merits.

Nigeria is not any better than China in terms of obeying the Supreme Being. God is looking for true worshippers & not hypocrites.

I do not think your write up reflects the thinking sorrounding the Nigeria/China economic prosperity comparisms.

To me the key argument is that Nigerians should stop paying lip service to serving God. Because if we apply all the principles in Christianity there is no way we would not have a better society.

Another point is that what you sow is what you reap. If I spend 5 years in the seminary school I will end up a priest, but if I spend the same amount of time at as an apprentice in a mechanic workshop, I will become an auto engineer. So people should be encouraged to have a profession or trade and to devote time to it. Because some of the reasons people spend their time could be solved outside of the church.

The person who wrote this sh1t is a primitive African fool who is part of the reason blacks are backward.

Until these people die and a new generation of commonsense thinking citizens emerge, Nigerians will remain backward.

Only an idiot does not know that religion and the belief system has past its sell by date. god and religion has not done anything for Nigerians and Africa and if you wait another 400 years it will not change!
The Chinese did it for centuries and it got them nowhere, but here is an illiterate asking blacks to continue reinforcing failure!

China worked hard over a long period of time to get to where they are today.

Why bring God into an issue that is man made. There are principles that govern life, once a people violate these principles they suffer the consequences and if they abide they enjoy the results. China and other non religious countries have abided with simple and basic principles of planning, honesty and care for one another. Although there are many churches in Nigeria, majority of nigerians do not care about one another and therefore do not plan good for their collective interest. God has done His job long long ago with a cause and effect principle and the ultimate power for humans to make choices and create . Take responsibility for your actions and inactions as a people and stop looking to blame what is not within your control. When Nigerians find the good they have to give themselves Nigeria will change for better
