The church has done more for Nigerians more than Nigeria has done for Nigerians.

knock on your head! Can you just be logical?

AfricanBard:
The menace is even growing everyday due to bad government policy.

So you somehow believe that policies should regulate religion which in itself is the freedom to belief and association?

The funny part is that people like y ou who advocate for people's right to be taken are ignorant of the fact that anyone who takes away your neighbours right, will surely come for you.

He, the Friday person, who goes for the Saturday people, will eventually go for the Sunday people.

Its a known fact.

When the health care system is not working, people think it's a spiritual issue because we have fake drugs in wide circulation.

An average graduate without a job out there think he or she needs to sow a heavy seed in order to get a job

Na mumu no know say church na scam.
No society was developed through prayers.
No technology or invention was discovered through prayers.
Holy ghost fire blood of jesus are all scam as you can see the nation of Israel waring again Palestine and Iran with sophisticated missiles and armoured tanks.

What is the more?.....name them.

Pastors plenty for nairaland oO

If this was a good thing, it definitely would’ve brought Nigeria a lot of good things

The money in nigeria church isn't from people paying offering etc

Where did a church like coza, synagogue, kicc etc see money

Just one viable branch in one state, so how come

Even the ones that have multiple branches pay pastors, have little number of members that give good money weekly

This churches launder money for politicians and other shady things

Hope is big business where ever poverty reigns supreme like Nigeria ..the worst place to be a citizen on earth

Try to become citizens of some west African countries, you will know that Nigeria is the best, am proud to be a Nigerian and I love this country, May God give us serious minded and visionary leaders and genuine citizens that will not be allowed to be corrupted and polluted with negativities.

2special:
Let's establish church in Nigeria so we can be making Money

Exactly.

Arrowhead71:
Just go and open your own church or did anybody stop you, if you think is that easy start your church today, registration is free

Conscience exist my bother. Not everyone wants to deceive people for selfish benefit. You can choose the part of criminality because your Conscience is already dead

Why should church develop society

Government develop society.

Church is for people who want to know God through Jesus and have eternal life

Are they suggesting FGN t start taxing the church? While I may not be in support of the way some churches collect offerings, tithes, and offerings is scriptural and don't let them start instigating religious persecution. Accountability, yes, make them accountable. Period

I don't understand Nairaland again

Here, faith is free, but salvation comes with a price tag. The tithe is not just spiritual it is an investment portfolio funding fleets of private jets, sprawling estates, and tax-free empires.

just Nigerians. corruption even with pastors. Pastor Adeboye is not an exception
why can't these pastors just fix Nigeria?

Nigeria has one of the worst GDP per Capita in Africa so what are you saying , even Benin Republic has almost double our GDP per Capita ..

According to the World Religion Database and reports on Nigeria’s church economy, the Nigerian church generates an estimated $9 billion annually (¦ 14 trillion+), a figure larger than the GDP of over 30 African countries combined.

wetin dey wrong this Op?
you wan Balablu to start to Tax the church?

2special:

The church isn't a money making business venture, though it may look so by so called hireling pastors.

The church is a spiritual hospital where the destinies of people are restored.

The church is a grooming ground for eternity_eternal life with God.

Zocalite:

Do you Nigerians look like people who know God despite the millions of churches and wickedness in Nigeria?

SarkinYarki:

How much GDP per capita do you think a country needs?. If you have USD 5000 in Nigeria, it means a family of five should have an income of USD 25000 which is like 35 million naira or so. Do you need such to live well in Nigeria?. No. You can survive as a family on even ten million naira and be living OK. That is a per capita income of around 2000 dollars.

is there anything in the write up the writer said that is not true?

did the writer say she is interested in opening her own christian organisation?

if you feel she has said something that is not true, kindly provide your facts to counter her claims

Who is deceiving who?
Did anybody force you from your house to any church
If you are not gaining anything anywhere you belong to then get out of the place
And stop talking about conscience, because you don't have any , otherwise you would not sit at the corner of your house and condemn people who has no dealings or offence against you

You cannot suffer as a Nigerian then come and suffer in the afterlife. God sent to churches to us to make sure that in the afterlife, Nigerians can enjoy what they missed from their leaders!

Dont mind that the pastors are enjoying opulence here; you are not them and you aren't to touch not your anointed or say anything about them else you will miss the enjoyment in the afterlife.

You must also give away the little you have on earth to them for them to be comfortable so you can book your space in the afterlife enjoyment!

If you like, dont get sense! I was at the airport a few days ago to see a crowd waiting to welcome Dag Heward Mills to Abuja in orange tshirts. They looked like lost brainwashed people waiting for their pseudo messiah

yeah, some people thought it's a money making venture

DoWhatThouWilt:
Here’s a 10-point summary of the write-up for those who find it unbearably difficult to read long posts.

1. The church is Nigeria’s most profitable “industry” — more lucrative than oil, telecoms, or banking.

2. Faith is free, but salvation is monetized — offerings and tithes fuel tax-free empires of private jets, estates, and megachurches.

3. The nation suffers while pulpits flourish — hospitals lack drugs, schools collapse, yet churches shine with marble halls and AC-powered auditoriums.

4. Pastors live like kings, while the people remain poor — congregations fund luxury lifestyles they will never share in.

5. Churches offer a guaranteed market — every Sunday, millions give without advertising or subsidies, buying hope in a broken nation.

6. The pulpit has become a boardroom — pastors act as CEOs, churches as franchises, and faith as a branded business model.

7. Complicity sustains the system — Nigerians cheer pastors’ wealth, applaud cathedrals, and keep giving despite their own poverty.

8. The church economy is massive — estimated at $9 billion annually (₦14 trillion+), bigger than the GDP of 30+ African countries.

9. Religion launders corruption — politicians donate looted money for prestige, forgiveness, and influence, making the altar a vault.

10. The tragedy is systemic — hope is sold, poverty recycled, progress postponed, while Nigeria mistakes noise for revival and wealth for holiness.

Thanks for the summary.

It is called the RELIGION SECTOR!

Give to God as much as you can... Directly pick up Church projects , even the least things as buying bulbs, fueling power plants etc... help the needy.
From Your heart, you can also give to genuine pastors.

Go to Church to see God alone
Ignore the Money driven GOs, they have no conscience.
Do not even give to them...

The Anointing restrains... You can only do good with the anointing of God. A fake pastor must be called out.

You do not miss the afterlife's good for speaking against evil.

Paul called them out
The Cretes did not hide the gluttons in their midst whose God is their belly.

Nigerian pastors are exploiting their congregations but the sheep are too blind to notice.

Do you really think people should be collecting money and employing people to spread the gospel that Jesus died for your sins past present and future two thousand years ago?.
Do you think it is right to allow people to be saying in public that God is burning people in hell for unbelief and idolatry?.
Do you think anybody should be allowed to be saying any human being is something other human beings can never become like God, son of God or last prophet?.
These issues have been causing problems on Earth for centuries and they were not an issue before the invention of Christianity
