Continue blaming the church for all the misfortunes in your life
The church is marching on, the gates of hell shall not prevail.

BKayy:

What builds morals and security is knowing the consequences of defaulting and how effective and swift the consequences will come.

Do you know that in the land of those that dumped this dead religion on us, that the churches dare not use loud speakers except on special occasions with announcements duly made prior to ensure human comfort.

The reasons why you lots are not developed is because there is no consequence for corruption and incompetence in Government. You know that your ruling politicians are corrupt, you can prove it but nothing in place to make them account for it, instead they move with your religious leaders to tie you down and prevent you from demanding your rights by deceiving you to pray for your oppressors instead of holding them accountable

You catch a thief or any nuisance disturbing the peace of the society, instead of holding him/her accountable, you are encouraged by your religion to pray for one God to touch his heart. He goes free and still return to do more.

This is what is holding Africa down. It is Religion.

Are they the government? Stop hating.

Are they Archbishops and Popes? Receive sense.

Churches are giving him something, the government is killing his people. Be wise.

Never.

You lot will do anything to defend foreign religion.

How is religion helping our people?

See other people investing in research and development, but our people invest in churches.

Calling government is diversion. We are not in a communist state. The Apples, Samsungs, Pfizers and Teslas reseach labs are not government owned.

We can do much much better. Churches add nothing to us. Infact churches are dragging us backwards.

What about mosques?

Do you feel mosques should build science labs and schools, prisons?

You are the one avoiding the topic.

Many people think religion is the problem of Africa's underdevelopment. I do not agree!
Significant number of the so called brainwashed people are miles ahead of those who claim to be wise intellectually and financially.

Because a place of worship is built, hypocrites will rush out to talk about schools, research institutes, hospitals and so on. Though they know that the church is one of the largest employer of Labour in Nigeria today; so many schools, hospitals, research centres etc are built and run by these "religious" organisations. The Redeemer's University Molecular Genetics Centre in Ede is standing shoulder to shoulder with so many international Bioengineering centre around the world (do your finding); the breakthroughs currently being recorded in Agriculture in Landmark University, Kwara state is second to none in Nigeria (read around it) and one of the leaders in Africa; I had the opportunity to make a presentation recently in Lagos where some former Youth Corps members were honoured by the Lagos State government, one of the 3 was from Covenant University, as at the time he was invited for the award, he already left for Havard for PG studies, this guy demonstrated competence (a good combination of skill, knowledge and above board attitude), that was not the first time I will see graduates of that school doing exploits. The ongoing Ark project in Wimners' Canaanland was designed and being built by graduates from that school. His Love, a CSR department of RCCG has built hospitals in various locations in Nigeria, financed the dialysis of some indigent individuals who could not afford it, procured many dialysis machines and other medical facilities to even government hospitals around the country. Many of you are aware of the road construction and water supply projects executed by RCCG. The Roman Catholic Church is perhaps the leader in the act of charity from very many years back etc.

All the above were done out of the bowel of mercy, from the depth of the understanding of what the Church teaches.

May I also state that the church is the root of many solid network that some people have built today, including myself.

In view of the above, we should begin to resist the urge to quickly castigate religion and the building of churches. Let's take responsibility, if the church or other religion can work, then businesses and governance can work as well. The question therefore is why are they not working? A harsh business environment, back breaking rates on business loans, insecure society, poorly conceived "exclusive list" etc. None of these are there because Obi Cubana and his team chose to build a place of worship in Oba in honour of his late mother.
