If God Is Good, Why Is Nigeria So Bad? by HappyPagan: 2:33pm On Jun 02, 2021
Have we tried the Gods of the Chinese? or the Indian Gods?

These Abrahamic Gods have only brought us strife and hatred.. MOre knights and imams yet as unholy as hell could be.

Our native Gods we have killed with our own hands... Gods depend on belief to exist after all... if their believers dwindle, they fade like old memory.

Speaking of memory, apart from the Abrahamic Gods, what other Gods do you know? Wetin dey your mind apart from the myths from Mecca and Jerusalem?
All that knowledge of Israel, and you know very little about the land your feet stand on....what a shame...

Because the devil is the prince of this world.

Don't you ever attribute any bad or evil done in this world to God because my God is a good God and can never afflict any one.

God is not in Nigeria. God is in Jerusalem Saudi Arabia just like Zeus is in Greek but Not Nigeria. Isn't it obvious?? Weve been praying to the wrong God undecided why not go back the traditional ways and see??

No, he isn't. A God who fears questions is a bully and doesn't love you. You should learn to question God.... Sometimes he can think stupid things.

Your God is a terrible God - ask his enemies or even his son Jesus. Your God had anger issues... Couldn't forgive his creation until he killed his son.


I dont think you understand what you worship.

Why is Nigeria so bad?

because the problems of Nigeria were brought upon Nigerians by themselves.

They are just religious on the outside but many of us are corrupt in many aspects and ramifications and the consequences of our inactions is what we are experiencing.

so how's God to blame for that?

He is the I am that I am. He does as He pleases.

Can you have it if a pot you moulded tells you it doesn't like the way you moulded it? I'm sure your reaction would be worse.
I'm sure you'd just crush it with your feet.

Go and read the book of job and see where God made him understand who He is and his supremacy over everything he has created.

You better thank God for Jesus. Mind you, God, being a loving father still manifested himself in the person of Jesus to save you and I. So instead of sitting there judging your maker, I'll advise you embrace Him and the works he did for you on the cross of Calvary.

God loves his creation. HE IS A GOOD GOD.

How can Nigeria be good if our politicians are bad and wicked?
God is good and God is helping this country but our politicians are the ones ruining everything.
But I believe that one day God will put them to shame.

It is not the Gods that have turned Nigeria into what it is but we the imperfect humans who do not do what God told us to do!

First, [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A4&version=KJV]we are not to live by bread alone or we shall be malnourished[/url]. To live, your diet must be balanced, so instead of only taking our understanding of God from Europe and from Arabia, we must seek widely and take the understanding of the Gods from China, and Russia, and USA and from every human being that lives on the Earth that God created with the Word.

Second, the plan and the instruction to all humans was:

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


But I am certain you will agree that we Nigerians have not even [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A44&version=KJV]learnt to rule over ourselves[/url] not to talk of rule over that which we are empowered and instructed to rule over in order to be blessed.

When we Nigerians fulfil the plan and obey the command above, we too shall be blessed, and not one single day before that because God did not lie when it is written God said, cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

It means, Nigerians! Get off your lazy fuq asses and make manna for yourselves! Which is the result of the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil., though we are still not yet learning to know good and evil since we ignorantly believe we must not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for fear that we shall surely die on the day that we eat, yet, poor afraid and ignorant us!

We just need learn to use our own senses to test if we will surely die, and if not, then become able to put forth our hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and increase our average lifespan from our pitiable about 60.87 years even if we do not live forever, because it sure is about a decade short of that what's promised and a lot lower that USA at 78.54 years, and even Kenya at 66.34 years!

You can not possibly argue with me that the countries we see developing around us are not those where the people have eaten of the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and are now going on to rule over Mars and Uranus and Jupiter, while, well, Nigeria we hail ourselves, I suppose.

I know you have grown up in a church all your life and rarely have conversations with non Christians. I'd advise you do not rush into hasty assumptions about what I'd do or not do.. we all dont think alike..

I do not like the pot analogy you use. I am not a pot.. I a more than a pot.. I have a mind, when I boil, iI'm angry , not hearing up because someone wants to drink tea.


It seems your God is a bully and a Master. You fear him more than you love him.

I'm sure you'd just crush it with your feet.

The only hero in the book of Job was his wife. I loved her. She cursed God.. and guess where she ended up? Very far away from those babies God rewarded Job with after killing his adult children.

Jesus died for himself.. I no send am..the news of his beating is a shocking tale, but I fail to see what it has to do with me. I didn't have any agreement with anyone to die for my sins.. he wasted of his life if he did it for me... As for me, I want to sin.

Stop deceiving yourselves in calling yourselves "imperfect"!

You guys are Perfect in Doing Evil just as you can be perfect in doing Good but you choose not to.


Doing Things you Choose to do or refuse to do disqualifies you from claiming imperfections.

He does not need to afflict anyone! That is the essence of Creating A System. When one thing happens another thing shall happen and all the other things shall happen, Exactly as Mr. Toyoda created the Camry.

Once you turn the key, his system begins to make things happen; battery supplies electricity, fuel pump catches the electricity and pumps fuel to the engine, the computer catches electricity and signals the car to start.
