Is Idol Worship Of Elders & Those In Authority Responsible For Nigeria's Failure by Nobody: 8:09pm On Jul 11, 2021
The worship of elders and those in authority is responsible for Nigeria being the corruption and poverty capital of the world.

This has created a culture of subservience and unaccountability in society such as:

- Members of the congregation unwillingness to question their General Overseer for using tithes to build universities and buy private jets.While most members in the congregation wallow in poverty.

-Juniors in the private and public sector unwilling to report cases of corruption against elders and those in higher ranks.

-Unwillingness by members of the public to question how military and public officials became overnight billionaires with properties in the most choice areas in Abuja,Kano,Lagos,Kaduna,Port Harcourt and Owerri.

What are your opinions?

I will Sha be stupid
For to think is evil, only Christ can save

I will Sha be stupid
When men tell me they speak for God
I shall not question, I shall full believe
For to doubt is ungodly

I will Sha Be stupid
And dance and sing to my maker
If e pain dem, make dem die
For Christ sees my mumu

I will Sha be stupid
No matter what come may, no matter what may come
I am my family shall be led by the I and I

I will Sha be stupid
Anything labelled Christ must be godly
Anything labelled Satanic must be ungodly
My pastor said so
My father in the Lord
I am an extended benefactor of Future Jerusalem
An African child of Abraham through Christ.

My skin is black but my mind is Christ
Christ before skin color
Christ before reality
Christ before all else
Without Christ, no world for me.

I will Sha be Stupid...for Faith has made me whole.

I was born and raised in a Christian pentecostal home. Remember in Matthew,Luke and John when Jesus criticized the Pharisees and Sadduces for their practices.

Have you ever questioned an elder for wrongdoing or those in authority?

Nigeria has created a culture were some people are untouchable and above the law. They can do as they please and never be questioned.

A governor can wake up and spend billions to mold statues, despite owing workers salaries and pensions and will not be questioned.

Don't be stupid, Jesus loves you, He even died for you to avoid this.

This has permeated almost every aspect of the Nigerian life.Women being attacked for questioning the impositions of patriarchy is also reflective of this. The privileged few do not want to let go of their privileges. The oppressed due to a lack of enlightenment keep reinforcing these anomalies by vapid defenses.
