God bless.

All what the writer wrote are all true, there are agencies saddled with responsibilities of providing your kids your preferred schools, my family relocated recently and i went for a month visit, within that period i applied for jobs and i was overwhelmed with different offers, na u go taya for work, and the interesting thing is that every minute of your time spent working is paid for, no free work, your off days are your off days, no oga will call you from home to come and help with work at the office for free. here in Nigeria most of my vacation and weekend off are spending supporting work for free, no overtime. abeg the place sweet die, i can't wait to resign and join my family permanently, system that works needs no prayers, even your pastor for there no dey come church most Sundays because he go work and Sundays pay dey higher, all you need to do if you aspire to get a job with higher pay, get certification in those relevant jobs and you will be hired, your degree no mean anything there, certificate for a specific role is most preferred over university degree, but you must be able to demonstrate that you can handle the role, though you will also be trained

Going by your assumption, we shouldn't believe history since the white man wrote it. So now dear sir, what should we teach ourselves and children as history?

Some religious people are good, but the religious institutions is based off a system of control and manipulation, man is not a religious being, we are rational, reasonable and spiritual, religion was forced into people by the colonials and Arabs, then by their parents, some of its morals are okay, but hypocrisy and deciet is too much. Religion makes a lot of Nigerians hate each other, bokoharam and Iswap have religious ideology, Christians too see others not like them as being on the wrong path, and religion makes Nigerians gullible, some smart men are ripping them off forming pastors and GO 's making them wait for blessings, instead of them going to invest those money and time. You don't need religion to be good and spiritual.

King George the third and then William Wilberforce. Why the stopped slavery? That's a daft question. Its morally bad, they all knew it was bad but nobody had the guts and power to do anything. King George and Wilberforce could do much because they were king and politician, respectively.


Slavery were stopped by christains based on christains beliefs and teachings.


Morality outside religious grounds, becomes relative.

Example is the issue of same sex marriage, abortion, and many more controversial issues.

Humans lacks the capacity to understand our very nature or self , talkless of to form genuine morals.

See fool they claim logic.

Where is the logic in your foolish statement, that religeon equals to poverty?

When 99% of the richest and most successful ppl in Nigeria claim to be religious, or at least identify with one religeon.

Wannable atheists failure.

You are beginning to change the goal post again.

Myself am not an overtly religious person.

But for one to say that the religeon, brought by the West, is holding Nigeria down and is equivalent to poverty, means the person is not intelligent and sound.

To answer your question, my argument is not in support of everyday church goers, my argument is that those who profess one faith or the other own over 90% of all the successful businesses in Nigeria, meaning your intail claim is false.

Without religion we would have fared better than this, not everyone is religious as you claim, it's mainly the poor zombies like you going to pay offerings and tithes that are the religious zombies, your pastors, GO's don't pay tithe or offerings, fool. All countries in the world, there are people who controls society, Nigeria has a predominantly religious people, so of course religious people will own wealth and businesses, but not all Nigerians are religious as you claim.

It is not about money the moment you step outside into a developed country you'll realized you don't have to go to church to be successful, to be hired, to be respected, it won't score you a point. Like no body cares, churches don't operate from mon to sun, no services of 8am to 6pm, no marathon fasting, no casting of demons, So it possible you might get bored or get used to such lifestyle. Personally the last time i was in church was over 10 years ago

Christianity is a relationship not a religion. Serving God is contextual.There are things they pray for that we do not pray;like govt. restrictions against praying in schools, trying to force people to accept lgqt movement , undue advantage to women that encourage divorce etc.

You simply do not know that

Probably you don't know the reason why we have high rate of suicide in the world.

Try this, take a bible and read the book of proverb and Ecclesiastes, you will marvel the wisdom and peace you will derive.

Life with all the riches is nothing without God. He is the source of wisdom and real peace.

Give it a try codedly you will thank heavens for that.

So true


Most ppl are ingnorant, they think the west just woke up and became less religious.

War is been waged continuously on family values, and christains morals and norms in those countries, using Celebrities, sports,TV, entertainment, politics e.t.c.


I completely agree. Nigerian children are now transforming their gender in the uk. I know at least one where a girl has completely transformed using drugs provided free by the state.
