Wow
I'm surprised the figure is not higher than that!

Sometimes I wonder who finances this free bible given to us since I was a kid
If the money wasted in printing these fiction books was used in empowering Nigerian youths, imagine where we'd have been today as a country..

Please come back and take your bibles. No one in Nigeria is practicing what is written there.


Maybe ur family only. Though we cannot be perfect, but we still do our little best concerning the order from the scripture as a human

Don't go and hold your govt responsible..

If churches get a new building you all will be shouting that the money should be used to build factory instead..
Una no get govt? Church ask you for money?
What about factories like Michelin and Dunlop that used to be in Nigeria?
What kind of empowerment do you want?
You need wheelbarrow for farm?
Smh..
Children of God are thriving in their respective endeavors due to the 'fiction' you think we read but if you need empowerment hit me up

Thanking Gideon for killing our sense of reasoning? Since these fiction books came to Africa, an average African cannot reason again. They allowed a sky daddy think and reason for them.

FUN FACT: 99% of Nigerian Christians have not completely read the Bible.


The Bible is not a text book you 'completely read'. Reading is 0.1 of the work..studying and understanding it is the koko.

While am holding my govt responsible for the problems in the country, Gideon should stop fueling the problems with his fiction books.. Those books add no value to Nigeria.

Yet crime rate has more than doubled in the specified time frame.

An increase in religious houses across Nigeria shows a corresponding rise in crime and other misdemeanors in the country.

They are called Partners....just like the distribution of Rhapsody of Realities for free every October. Partners in Christ Embassy sponsor the free distribution.


...I don't think they really got the figures for the Gideons bible right. Rhapsody has done more than this in 12 years...just saying..

I think the figure of 74.6M is wrong. I collected this bible like 5 times throughout my secondary school days, won many of it in bibles quiz, dashed to me by family friends during birthdays, etc.

I think the figure should be higher than this

Africa was at a walking stage about to run. But when religion came in, Africa became crippled. She can't even stand on her feet.
