PROFESSOR NIYI OSUNDARE ON RELIGION AND NIGERIANS

"Religion has killed rational thinking in Nigeria. I say this all the time, our country is still in a pre-scientific era. That is why things are like this.

We don’t think logically; that is why any ruler, any fool would seize the reins and rule us, because we would always find an excuse for being ruled or being led by the nose.

Not long ago a pastor said he was between two cities and he discovered that the fuel in his car had run out.

He actually checked and saw the fuel in the car was completely gone.

But because of his act of faith and on the strength of his prayers, he was able to do two hundred miles on an empty tank!

When he declared this testimony, people clapped and shouted “ Hallelujah!” I never heard anybody say how can?"

"Nigerians don’t ask questions; that is why the imams and the pastors lead them by the nose, and the politicians also complete their humiliation and disempowerment.

And between the clerics and the political functionaries, there is a very close liaison. It’s a kind of power structure; one controls the political, social realm, the other controls the spiritual, metaphysical realm and they are together.

Many Nigerians are not rational, interrogative people. In fact, in this country today, if you are the interrogative type you are easily labelled, branded, and condemned.

People even wonder: why are you always asking questions?"

"Another problem: well, our people are docile and the reason why they take all kinds of cheating is that many of them envisage themselves in the position of power someday, too.

If I am X and the oppressor is Y, and the oppressor is oppressing me, stealing all the money, and making life difficult for me and my children, I am not likely to attack him.

I’ll pray to God to let my own “miracle” happen so that someday, he will go and I will be in his place. No; I am praying for him to go but for the structure to remain."

They call him aja digbolugi in English it means a lunatic dog. A dog like that people run away from it because, it can bite you.
Run now for your mental wellness.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
THE THREAD OF A CONFIRMED LUNATIC.

kingxsamz:
Lmao... Most Christians are hypocrites when it comes to their religion and I mean "most".
Funny thing is most of them hardly uphold 90% of their doctrines. They commit different sins on daily basis, but just do something different against their 'usual sins' and they'll remind you that it's against the bible.
The same Bible where their god ordered men to slaughter innocent women and children.
Lol, good thing many people are getting enlightened more frequently, thanks to the internet. One day most people will realize that all sky daddies are useless in reality.
50 years from now, the phrase "Jesus is coming" will be a joke of the past.

Firefoxy:
You seem mentally ill. One cannot make sense of anything you’re saying.

9Stamp:
That moniker is actually a "she". Initially back in 2017 /2019 I used to think she makes honest mistakes but I got to understand what her aims are.

Very funny woman

LordReed:
E go do you like oje marina. LMAO!

Firefoxy:
... . If and irreligious person saying that god doesn’t exist is disrespectful to your religion, then you saying that god exists is disrespectful to their unbelief. But of course, the logic doesn’t work like that.

Firefoxy:
CHRISTIANS ON MORALITY:
Of course they’d also prioritize their moral values above other peoples.

Firefoxy:
...
CHRISTIANITY AND THE LAW:
They also use their religious beliefs to justify the most insane and illogical laws, even though they’ll constantly condemn the sharia law for existing. Is that hypocrisy or is that hypocrisy?

Firefoxy:
There’s literally no logical argument for why people of the same gender having sex should be a crime apart from the fact that Yaweh doesn’t like it.

Firefoxy:
CHRISTIANITY AND MISOGYNY:
They’ll constantly demean women too, desperately trying to put them in a place, of course because god say so.

Firefoxy:
...CHRISTIANS ON OTHER RELIGIONS/BELIEFS:
.They want to freely express their beliefs and even shove it in your face with or without your consent, while condescending you the moment you express yours.

Firefoxy:
... CHRISTIANS ON OTHER RELIGIONS/BELIEFS:
Christians want to be able to say things like, “there’s only one true god and other gods are fake” in reference to other religions, or “only a fool believes that there’s no god” in reference to unbelievers, but the moment Christianity is criticized, you get checked because you have no right to “disrespect” their religion.

LordReed:
You'll be so disappointed. LMFAO!

Firefoxy:
As an ex-Christian who has had more encounters with Christians,

LordReed:
Till you die and are forgotten your feverish dream won't materialise. Keep dreaming. LMFAO!

LordReed:
Fucktàrd read Deu. 21 before you expose your lack of sense. It says disobedient to the parents not murder or armed robbery. Stùpid arse doesn't even read his fuçking bible.

LordReed:
Bwahahahahahaha! Keep dreaming. LMFAO!

LordReed:
Fucktaard no jurisdiction punishes children with death for refusing to wash plates when mummy said so or going to party when daddy says no...

Davash222:
I want to believe she's not talking to Nigerian girls.

MaxInDHouse:
The stupid atheist wants to criticize God's word but he has forgotten that in every nation under the heavens it's disobedient CHILDREN that are sentenced and executed under the law. So whether the child is in his twenties or forties the parents will feel better if they should be the one to get him arrested and killed under the law than for others to arrest the child for criminal acts then shame will come upon the parents for keeping him or her for so long!

Leviticus 11:20-21 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

LordReed:
Clearly shows you haven't read Deuteronomy 21 or else you'd have known the so called crime was disobedience to parents which is not punishable by death in any sane jurisdiction except to misguided maladjusted asshats like you. Keep showing us how like the Taliban you asshats really are.

tctrills:
Well I see it differently. I see the whole book as one. If one verse can be wrong then how can you be certain of the other verses?

tctrills:
When it comes to eternal truths, you need 100% purity. There can't be any atom of doubt

tctrills:
You are wrong by my reason, if one man has stolen, I would be suspicious of that man not all men.

A restituted person/ Restitution is an act of putting right all things that were wrongly done or acquired illegally.

You are misinterpreting Matthew 13 vs 44 - 46 to fit into your context

IsaacEtieno:
Is it right or wrong for christian couple to give each other head? I mean, mouth actions. Married people ooo

A001:
Even your fellow Christians would be laughing at your stupidity.

A001:
Real humans don't exist or live on a website since it's not a real place.

Only threads, posts, members' accounts (not the members themselves), and other sections of the site exist on Nairaland.

Real humans live in a house, which is a real place.

sonmvayina:
Dtruthspeaker. Dem don dey use you wipe ground again...

See a psychiatrist.. I will pay for it...send me the bill.

haddeylium:
Sorry, I think this is beyond you.

A001:
Lols. Happy living on Nairaland!

Let me look for a real human to engage, not a programmed bot that exists on Nairaland as a religious zombie.

A001:
You've not given me a reasonable answer to my question.
