Good evening my fellow Nairalanders....Hope y'all are currently enjoying the economic shege we've been plunged into? . Any ways, that's a story for another day....

So this morning,I woke up,hoping to kick start my daily hustle with my tricycle (popularly known as keke), only for me to get there and discover that it was having an ignition fault............Well,then I thought I could just apply the little engineering knowledge I learnt while in school on it, but all my efforts were to no avail.

A neighbor of mine who was passing by who saw how I was struggling with it approached me......He asked me what the fault was.....So after I told him........The next thing I heard him say was--"you sure say you no go carry this your keke go meet my pastor so?

Omoh,tho I tried to be calm but I was forced to reply him with a question--"That your pastor sabi repair keke?". . Immediately I asked him that question,he turned his back and walked away............

But omoh, why are Nigerians so over religious like this? Must we accrue every single problem that can easily be solved by mankind to God? The thing just tire me I swear....

Religious cancer.

They think everything is spiritual. If everything is by prayer, what is the essence of the freewill and the potentials with which God created us? If everything is by prayer, who do some people prosper without praying but many who pray and fast fail?

Prayer is very important and effective. But many African Christians misunderstand the function of prayer. Consequently, they abuse prayer by relying on God for what God already empowered them to achieve.

Religion is very essential to mankind. I don't condemn religion. I am a Christian. The abuse of religion is what I call religious cancer.

Maybe he sees you tinkering with the engine frequently and thinks ordinarily it should not be so hence his recommending his pastor to deliver the Keke from your 'village people '

It's a natural defense mechanism perfected by the poor and lazy over centuries to blame everything else but themselves for their own failures.

If people can gather and pray for a faulty transformer to transmit electricity then there's nothing they can't pray for.

Anybody wey dey use prayer cover work never serious.

I wonder even the so called certificated people have turned to Certificated morons swallowing every single thing thrown at them in the name of prophecy....... Without scrutiny and be shouting amen Amen like thunder⚡

Jesus turned water into wine. So the man believes his pastor can turn your keke into chasis Mercedes that will give you no fault.

See as i burst laugh with the question wey you ask am . economic hardship don dey reset some of them brains

. . Religion is truly the opium of the masses,so they say.

Nigerians are foolishly religious.

I could remember when I relocated to a new state and was looking for accommodation, do u know 80% of landlords were asking after my church...the same Christianity o. Not that I'm of different religion.

I told one that I am a Catholic and also attend winners. He said he can't rent his house out to me that I don't even know where I stand. That I need to take a stand on the church to attend bla bla bla....


I later got an apartment in this state and we were 4 tenants plus the landlady. The landlady, an old woman, most Sundays, would always come to ask why I didn't go to church... That I should try and be going to church bla bla...like shey I no pay u rent ni?


When I packed out was when she said that all of us would be having bible studies every Sunday evening.... Omo I just had to run....infact I left the state entirely.... I can't stand religious morons.


Heaven is a personal race...no drag anybody follow yourself, after all you came to this world alone.

But Nigerians would want to drag every dick and Harry into their nonsense.

You should have gone to see the pastor then spend quality time with him and then come next Sunday service, you stride to the altar and shout thunderous "PRAISE THE LORD" Like others before your and afterwards; give testimony of how he prayed over your worn Engine and in a heartbeat the old parts gave way and appeared was a brand, new, and shiny parts/engine...

The plan is to question the beliefs of the members. Your testimony gonna make at least one individual to quit CHURCH for good...

Man must be able to differentiate and acknowledged there is physical and as well spiritual problems


If you are a type who doesn't biliv thr spiritual problems you are a walking corpse.

And if you are the type who biliv every problem is spiritual you are not different from mad man.


Now, back to OP, in as much I blame ur neighbor more, I wouldn't totally blame him, perhaps, he might have seen you repairing ur Keke incessantly and bilivd, it might have defied all mechanical ways of solving it, hence asking u to go spiritual.

BUT AFRICANS MUST LEARN HOW TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS OUTSIDE SPIRITUAL FIRST.

Noted.

Instead of complaining about the foolishness of religious people, why not open your own church and earn yourself extra income?

Hahahahaha.

Nigerian Christians worship their pastors. Fact.
They fear him more than God himself. That's why we're overtly religious but not godly people

Maybe the pastor used to work as an engineer.

You get patience


Na slap I go give neighbor early morning.

Religion sure has its own advantages, but this kind of things are why we don't take them serious.
