Fallacy! So religious billboards are to be blamed for Nigeria's underdevelopment?

A good question,to calm down the rabble-rousers on the Nairaland Forum!
How come are the Winners Chapel,the MFM,the Redeemed Church, having 24-Hours Lights,yet those Govt-Institutions-,the NNPC,the NEPA ( now DISCOS),the Poverty Alieviation Ministry,etc are terribly Corrupt and None is performing to the Standard established?
While the Christian Based Institutions are doing Fantastically Well,the opposite is the Federal and States Institutions,as they are stinking in Corruption.
Unfortunately,the young Catholic Father( Unegbu) speaking just want to cash-out,as he should know that his Mass -Offerings goes to Vatican and he is not doing anything tangible there.
Let him watch his Mouth!

The man does not know that China, Taiwan, USA and Japan prayed to God to reach that stage.

I doubt if the man has the Holy Spirit.

So the more the religious billboards advertised the more the Holy Spirit you have. And who tell you china and Japan prayers put them to their present level

So says a so called "fada", whose entire life is sponsored by a religious organization. Some of these folks just want to trend by posting rubbish. Nonsense 😤

DyshApp:
Nigerian Catholic priest, Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu opines that a country that has more churches than industries would remain poor, insecure, and ungodly.

He took to his Facebook page to make the controversial assertion.

According to the priest, if a country has more billboards advertising religion, rather than businesses, such a country had only excelled at religious merchandise.

He noted that such a country would only remain poor, insecure and ultimately ungodly.

His words …

Every year revival and they still remain where they are

AntiChristian:
Nothing can be done about it!

If you talk you'll be called names like my moniker and others!

Some MFM people came with their Bus and musical instrument into our street in Ebute meta and started blasting the noise of their upcoming crusade/revival somewhere! The noise no be hear! If i had my ways i for tear pankere for them!

No more ads to promote na so so revival and crusade!
Every year revival and you are never revived!

Totally agree

Softmirror:
🤔 Catholics systematically attacking their enemies the Protestants. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There was only one church, Catholic. And every other denomination is a breakout of a break out of a breakout of the Catholic church.
Catholic church did not breakout of any church. It has always been.
It is the other denominations that see Catholics as their enemy and break out.
Catholics don't have enemies.
So you are wrong.

The Catholic priest simply said the absolute truth. But Nigeria religious merchants most especially the pentecostals will do everything possible to frustrate any move aimed at sanitising religion and all it encompasses. Religion is a scam!

What he said applies to all religions, including the one founded by your Randy he goat "prophet" Prison and Beatings Upon Him (PBUH)

Catholic Church is a Roman conception it is not original Christianity to even start with. There have been churches in, Jerusalem, Jordan, Syrian, America, long before the conception of the Roman Catholic Church.

Another trash...
Who is stopping you from starting a factory or q business?
Are pastor your government, do you pay tax to them?
Another clout chaser

Whoever told you prayers will help Nigeria industrialise lied to you.

DisLifeSha:

It would have been good if after each revival they remain where they are. The real truth is that after each revival, they keep getting worse. The more revival, pilgrimage, fasting and prayer, deliverance, we perform, the poorer, more corrupt, wicked, greedy, heartless, insecure we become. Starting from the late 70s and early 80s when all this pentecostal rubbish started, the country has gone from bad to worse.

Sharrap dere...who China pray to

He should go and sit his ass down.
Is it the church that manages the economy or in-charge of fiscal policies that drive economic growth?

Proverbs 14:34 KJV
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Leave them alone until Nigerians come to the full knowledge of God we will continue to roam In darkness.

The fastest and easiest way to trend on social media nowadays is to attack the church. Church is not the problem of Nigeria, infact church has always been part of the little progress Nigeria has made today.The problem of Nigeria is corruption, selfishness and fraudulent practices, 90% of Nigerians are potential thieves, only looking for an opportunity.

The UK and the US were founded on Christian principles.

You can't change that.

The rise of Europe cannot be divorced from the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg, his first printed book notably being The Bible.

With all your claims of knowledge of the Church, you are blissfully unaware of the impact of Martin Luther's "Justification By Faith", that formed the bedrock of morals, ethics, legal systems and the Constitutions of most of continental Europe.

This led to the Reformation which later evolved into the First Industrial Revolution.

That Christianity preached in Africa is mostly warped by selfish motives, in no way
Invalidates the impact

Although you give the impression that you are a Christian by quoting Scriptures copiously, your constant attacks against the Church of Christ gives you away.

You have NEVER ignored any bad news that involves the Church.

Indeed here you are: first to comment.

Kobojunkie:
So, what is stopping this priest from closing up shop so there is will be at least one less religious billboard in that country? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Deelaw:
These are the type of comments developed countries read and label your country a shit-hole country filled with dumbos. Try to surprise them with your thinking for once...

That was just sarcasm

I thank God for your knowledge.

Imagine the rubbish this priest is talking. If not that he is a priest I would have lashed heavily at him. Why don't you ask the government to create Jobs and stop embezzling public funds? Why do you think the religious houses are full is it not because of poverty? Let's address the root.

See this fool. Na u help China pray. No go use your God given brain work talk like mumu

They will start to abusing the man now ,as if he's telling a lie.

Okay!

Religion is truly the opium of the gullibles.

Fixed

He actually means "a country where there more religious businesses than actual commercial/industrial businesses will remain poor".

You don't need to put up billboards to advertise a church operated by an ungodly man just for gain.

Learn to place sarcasm more intelligently next time so you don't have to disgrace your low emotional intelligence level here...
