The "Backwardness" Of Nigeria After Hosting FESTAC 77, Myth Or Reality? by OrlandoOwoh(op): 7:11am On Apr 19, 2015
It's no longer unusual for some pastors and christians to be heard saying Nigeria's hosting the Festival of Arts and Culture, FESTAC in 1977 marked the beginning of hardship for the country.

The festival saw masquerades, artistes, spiritual diviners, etc converging and using the mystical power in a competition in the National Theatre at Iganmu in Lagos.

How true is this?

If they are true MOGs they should organise a powerful counter festac77 crusade to break all the curse they claim d festival brought. Or are they not powerful again, oh! I forgot they are still busy making themselves super rich in d expense of their gullible followers. And looking for who or what to blame Nigeria's problems on, they are part of the problem!

Re: The "Backwardness" Of Nigeria After Hosting FESTAC 77, Myth Or Reality? by Nobody: 8:18am On Apr 19, 2015
Its all myth. A way to "force" people to discard our traditions and flock to the church.
Re: The "Backwardness" Of Nigeria After Hosting FESTAC 77, Myth Or Reality? by NaLaugh: 8:18am On Apr 19, 2015
Myth or reality?... More like, comedy. cheesy
Re: The "Backwardness" Of Nigeria After Hosting FESTAC 77, Myth Or Reality? by Nobody: 8:18am On Apr 19, 2015
If its true,why can't the pastors pray about it,afterall,they always claim to be God's mouthpiece.

Its just a myth to cover the fakeness in the inefficiency of their prayers,and scare people to church..

What of China that practices more of idolatry,abeg leave those businessmen jare.

So Senegal that hosted FESTAC before us is now suffering after? My people are foolish.

So other African countries that are suffering or even foreign countries too all are connected to FESTAC?

And you still attend a church with a pastor that foolish?

Re: The "Backwardness" Of Nigeria After Hosting FESTAC 77, Myth Or Reality? by Olufhemy(m):
What then do u say when you realise that these same pastors are customers to those diviner's & masquerade's?
These people should desist from seeking relevance afterall they've received #7B from GEJ.
Buhari doesn't need u in his administration.
We have our God,who never fails.

How true is this?
With the number of religious groups in Lagos alone, it should have cancelled all the effects of festac now
