Every society that has currently not collapsed is atheistic. The exception is Saudi Arabia and UAE if that's the life you want.
Christians do not have any intention of living in harmony with others. How many shrines and traditional institutions are demonized and destroyed by the church in Nigeria? We have lost our values because of church. Everything that gives use value the church is against. Everything that glorifies foreigners the church is for, but if you go to those foriegn lands, they're not going to church. They will even arrest you in the UK if you're preaching in the street. But go to Nigeria and see british founded churches up and down.

what does that tell you?

Imagine somebody serving you food they refuse to eat and refuse to have served to their own children, but you are eating it and clapping singing that you're whiter than white.

All of the best countries in the world are atheistic. All of the poorest countries in the world and more violent war-torn countries are also the most religious. Nigeria has the highest concentration of religious buildings in the world, and also has the highest concentration of un-related armed conflicts, and highest concentration of poor people.

Don't know what you talking bro...I'm still praying...listening to msgs like when I left...maybe not churches cos my church is far but I attend a local church here...not weekly like in naija...but I value my spiritual life more than all the £ here.
I still find time to wake at night and pray...it's a culture or maybe cos I live alone but I won't stop praying and seeking God the longest I live.

Outside Nigeria, time is money.
Here, people work. Sunday, Christmas etc if your work falls on those days. If you don't work, who will pay your bills?

You don't have the luxury of time to spend in religious places like it's done in Nigeria.

If jobs are available to citizens, Nigerians will no longer be exploited by religious leaders.

This doesn't mean that people are not religious here. They worship God but moderately.

What we are praying to God to do for us in Nigeria is what government does in caring nations without begging.

gaby:
The day Nigeria progresses into a nation with the welfare of her citizens at the heart of its policies overall, you'd understand.

Just imagine a situation where you are assured of a job and timely pay as and when due, access to healthcare, and every other social amenity. And then to cap it all up, even when you aren't able to work, you have access to social welfare benefits.

My brother, the day majority of Nigerians working or not can just walk down to the next ATM at the end of each monthly cycle to make withdrawals of their salaries or stipend from the government, church businesses will become obsolete and relationships with religion will become personal and organic.

The current style of Christianity in particular is a result of "surrendering it all to God" since the government has failed in every aspect of caring for the citizens.

Humans have resigned to fate and hope endlessly for succor from supernatural forces or beings.

How do you know this?
It sounds like self deception to me
Just like nobody would say
I am a bad person

How do we recognize love of God?

faceLAGOS:


Interesting.

Please sir, can you explain a little how you were able to “demistyfy” poverty?

Though, I’ve come to realize that poverty is not necessarily the lack of cash but a thing of the mind.

Thank you. Sir.

jieta:
Oga, I want to buy your book I even called you some time pass you refuse to pick.

BabaAgba79:


Poverty is perceived as a spiritual thing in Nigeria most especially among the xtians and some certain religions. Poverty is seen as a spell being cast upon a generation. Poverty is a mystery to us. However, poverty is simply lack of financial education, Lack of cash, lack of property. You dont need prayers and fasting to be successful or rich. All u need is knowledge, expertise and connection most especially in Nigeria. Learn how to make money in a legit way and u will see be rich!

IrepChrist:


Roman 8: 16
The Spirit himself testify with our spirit that we are God's children.

When your desire is to see the kingdom of God establish on earth.... it's a sign you love him.

If it pleases you to do the will of the father always, through witnessing and evangelizing, it's a sign that you love God.

If your desire is to serve him and to be in his presence always, it's a sign that you love God.

If you feel sorry for your sins and errors and you are remorseful just to settle with him. It's a sign you love him.

Your love for God should not be conditioned to location or circumstance.

By Jett-Iyke Amaechi

I asked a friend that traveled abroad when he told me about the decline in his spiritual life.

"Or is it that they don't allow you pray over there? Tell me."

The abroad guy responded, "No, it is not so. You are allowed to pray here.

But when you get here you will realize that a lot of things that we perceive to be spiritual are not.

They are a product of failures, from government and ourselves.

You will meet a system and an ideology that will challenge your previous beliefs.

Imagine that here, you don't pray to fill gas, own a house, a car, go to school or have your children attend one of the best schools.

But in Nigeria, sometimes you even pray to have your three square meal per day."

"The thing tire me." I replied.

Then he continued, "You don't even pray to get a job.

There are agencies saddled with that responsibility and they do their best to get you a job in 2 months.

And once you get that job your life becomes a product of leverage, the one we acknowledge as grace in Nigeria.

But this grace doesn't come from above, it comes from the government.

Your child can even go to university and graduate without paying a dime.

As the child begins to work, the government will gradually deducts his fees from his salary in a way that it won't even affect the child.

Under such atmosphere, if it's you, you will change and behave like me.

You won't even suspect your uncles, you will know they have no hand in your failure or success.

I don't suspect my uncle's anymore. Infact, I even call them on phone now.

We are closer than before. Life is really a mystery.

A traveller is wiser than a gray-haired man.

But I will advise you, you know the government we have, do your best and come to this place.

You will thank God you did."

At this instance, I was weak. " So our government had made us to hate our uncles like this when we should have loved them.

Oh! As I have become an uncle now, tomorrow my nephews and nieces will hate me thinking that I'm responsible for their failures.

When I'm innocent. God forbid! Some of our uncles may be dying in silence of their innocency.

God will help them.

So, our government made us pray about every issue of life no matter how small and jump from one prayer house to another.

It shall not be well with them." I concluded.

" I think you now understand," We ended the call.

I was in deep thinking of what to do.

"Should we all leave this country and runaway? No, all of us aren't meant to travel overseas." I muttered those words.

But you that read to this point, what do you think?
