You lie and talk a lot of nonsense.

1) Estonia is the 30th most developed country (out of 196 countries) in the world according to the human development index. It is also a highly educated country. The poverty rate in Estonia is 18.6% according to the worldbank. The poverty rate in Nigeria is 46% while the poverty rate in the USA is 14.5% (to put Estonias 18.6 into perspective). You must be a real clown to suggest that Estonia is an unstable country.

My statistics are from the world bank- a reliable source http://data.worldbank.org/country/estonia. Unlike yours
I adduced two points as my reasons for calling Estonia an unstable country

1. Their erratic unemployment rate
2. Their poverty rate

You have 1. 3 million Estonians and there are close to 300 , 000 out of the 1.3 million who are poor . And you call me a clown huh . Remember when I told you that Saudi Arabia had 20 percent of its population as poor - 5.6 million out of 28.8 million and you argued ignorantly claiming that is not ok . So why is 300,000 out of 1.3 million ok while 5.6 million out of 28.8 million is not ok . Did you go to school at all huh


2) Communism is a state religion. Dont believe me? Criticize the ruling party or leader in any communist state and see how you get roughed up for your blaspheming. An atheistic religion but still a religion worshiping the state.
Utter balderdash ! Communism is anti-religion and atheism . Stop this pathetic show of ignorance .


3) You are stoooooooooooopid when it really comes to international politics and so, I wont bother to correct you on atheist numbers in Japan, UK, China, South Korea etc. Enjoy your ignorance!
You are crazy . You are deviating away from reality to accommodate your idiotic suppositions . What the heck do you know undecided cheesy

1) The unemployment rate in Estonia is 6.4% while the unemployment rate in the usa is 5% http://www.tradingeconomics.com/estonia/unemployment-rate
http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate


Tell me again how Estonia, which has a lower than average unemployment rate, a high income country, highly educated country is unstable.

And somehow Nigeria is a religious but stable country?

Please how has your going to queue up at the filling station looking for fuel helped you and Nigeria?
OP no insults o but your problem is lack of understanding. These people who go to church still go to work like you do, in fact you're the one losing the happiness one gets in church that you exchanged for fuel wahala and nairaland.com complaints. If you're a true Christian, or should I say were, you should know wishes are not horses, things don't simply work like that. The Bible says when people are crying of letting down his people shall be rejoicing of lifting up. God bless you.

On this Sunday that just passed, I drove through my former church on my way to get fuel and I noticed that the church was almost it usual attendance. The fuel scarcity had little effect on the numbers of people in the church.

This led me to wonder, why people still drive to church despite the economic hardship facing us in this country.

-Are they going to church to beg God for the thousandth time to stop the fuel scarcity- a scarcity that keeps on recurring?
-Are they going to church to miraculously make fuel appear int heir tanks?
-Are they going just to receive the AC in the church since there is probably no light at home?
-Why dont they save the fuel in their car for work instead?
-Why didnt TB Joshua and other prophets of doom predict the fuel scarcity?


This leads me to a theory about suffering. There is an argument that the hopeless turn to God or religion as a crutch. And truly, if you notice, countries that are poor or suffering are usually more religious. It seems that many need a hero, a messiah to bring them salvation from their unsolvable problems.

Honestly, why do people think it is worth it to go to church during this fuel scarcity? Hasn't God failed Nigeria enough? Nigeria keeps getting harder- no light, no fuel, no jobs, bad roads etc. Nigeria keeps sinking deeper into an abyss.

What you don't know is that you can power your car on holy spirit alone provided your faith is as strong as such Men of God like Daddy G.O Adeboye and Pastor Chris that have publicly claimed to have driven for hundreds of miles without a single drop of fuel.
