Thats the reason for the laziness of the average Nigerian. Wanting God to do everything for them, even washing their underpants.

Rejecting God as their master, rather being the masters of God.

**facing the panel of judges** " I think with this statistic, u can now see that putting religious belief ahead of common sense and logical reasoning is synonymous with underdevelopment ".

BTW:. Being religious is good but abandoning logical reason is worst hence all the Developed countries even those who brought d so called religion are missing from th list.

Here in Africa, a child will ask d parent how water got into coconut and the response will be "shut up! Don't qstn d work of God" while in developed countries, the parent will either tell him why or refer to those that can explain why...Mtcheeeew for Africans..

Re: Nigeria Is The 9th Most Religious Country In The World by Nobody: 12:35pm On May 02, 2016
As a Christian and an immaculate epigone of Christ, the ideal and circumspect thing is to be a person of probity, steadfastness and diligence in faith, Not practising religion, as people who proclaim and honour God with their lips, but there hearts and life style is discrepant from God's principles and predestinations.

You have to live in Ghana to understand. They actually practice it which is why their circumstance is far better than that of Nigeria. Which ever way though, it is not a good thing to be on that list.
