Bless you my broda.

We will live to see the day when God will destroy this Chinese Arabs and Oyinbo nations. They do not worship Him or offer tithes. Helfire will be their portion. It is well.

A lot of Nigerians are insane, honestly.
See wetin person write?

No wonder, the national IQ is 70.

Abii ooo, people like the OP will open his mouth and say buhari is an illetrate. See most dumb thread in recent times. Some people just need to leave their village, go around the world, meet people. See how OP is making Nigeria look like a holy country. A country with largest wicked and selfish citizens.
What will God even be proud of of yea Nigerians. Ordinary election una no fit plan.

I like how you cherry pick facts to support belief in religion. Here are some wholesome facts for you


1) The most developed countries (Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Ireland, Denmark) according to HDI all have 3 things in common
-Secularism with high number of atheists
-A continuous decline in number of christians
-A high investment and good attitude towards education
-Gay rights.

2) South Korea is the 5th most atheistic country in the world and 56% do not follow any religion.

3) The poorest countries in the world are all very very religious

You do have a point

So God will destroy China?

JeromeBlack:





I like how you cherry pick facts to support belief in religion. Here are some wholesome facts for you

Then you missed the ultimate point of my missive...which, while defending religion...also points out the fact that development is based on a lot of other factors.

1) The most developed countries (Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Ireland, Denmark) according to HDI all have 3 things in common
-Secularism with high number of atheists
-A continuous decline in number of christians
-A high investment and good attitude towards education
-Gay rights.

50-80 years ago, these countries were developed...and also very religious. Infact, many of these countries were religious during the industrial revolution.

Gay rights is a recent phenonenom. (Many European countries only got gay rights when they were long developed. Heck, Japan had gay rights in the 1950's...Europe has caught up in the 1990's. UK got there in 1968 ).

2) South Korea is the 5th most atheistic country in the world and 56% do not follow any religion.

Again these are recent trends. Plus...Christianity was growing too...from 5% in 1962 TO 27 percent today.

Besides, the South's development has a lot to do with lack of natural resources and defensive purposes, plus a Confucian influenced ethos regarding education.

3) The poorest countries in the world are all very very religious

And then there is the US which has a high proportion of religious people.In Africa , we have South Africa that is very developed...and has high proprtions of religousity even among the white people

And throughout the Industrial revolution, most European countries were religious. Many inventors of the stuff you use were religious (Faraday who made inventions that advanced electricity was religious. As was they guy who developed anesthesia)

But to me, a country's development is not based on religion or lack of it...it is based on whether a country is willing to work hard for it. Here in Nigeria, we are poor and underdeveloped because most people have a daily bread mentality which prevents long term thinking. Many European countries are developed because they lacked enough natural resources....and had harsh climates...which meant you had to adapt or not survive (That's why they developed the theory of evolution over there...heheheh...too much adapting!). IN Nigeria, we think that we have lotsa natural resources that we can sell for money, and use to import stuff we can enjoy life with...and that makes things harder for us.


If Nigeria wants to develop,we have to work hard for it. But in a country where people somehow expect us to magically have everything the developed countries have because...we has oil..which isn't even earning us enough cash anymore.....we have a long way to go. Atheism won't change much if we adopted it.

alBHAGDADI:
Not only China but this wicked world filled with men like you who see the truth but chose to brace the lie.

God must have destroyed men like you a million times over before turning towards China.

Lazy con artists calling themselves pastors. It is only the devil himself that will money from a poor terminally ill person for a nonexistent cure which is the hallmark of most Nigerian pastors.

Yes, you are right. Religion is not the only problem we have in nigeria/Africa. Atheism or secularism wont solve all our problems.

However, the fact remains that religion is one of our major problems. Second only to corruption and poverty. Secularism will only put us on the first step to progress. We need further economic, legal and educational reforms.

After listening to the op intellectual garbage. I am fully convinced that African especially Nigerian are just plain gullible fellow who are mentally enslaved. First he proposed that Nigeria is on course to be rewarded for been religious in heaven rather than on earth.such tells you the personality of the op, a fellow who needs prayer to do everything for himself hereby contradicting the same texts which propose " heaven helps those who help themselves as quoted by Benjamin Franklin with a scripture refernce "Proverbs 12:11 - He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment."

From the on going God does not encourage laziness meaning their is time for everything ,time to pray and time to work but when you do the right thing at the wrong time that is an example of plain stupidity.
With all our righteous we still troop in thousands to visit this countries including your spiritual leaders go their for medical check up.it means you are plain stupid for choosing what favors you as an assertion for the scripts

I'm so so sad to be among some Nigerians. I will endure it in this lifetime, but if God EVER make the mistake of creating me a Nigerian in my next life (if there is any), me and am go get one BIG problem.

alBHAGDADI:

These days, it is common to see people compare the situation in Nigeria, which has a huge population of Christians, to that of China a non-christian country. The people who make such comparison often say China which doesn't believe in the Christian God is prosperous with modern technology, industries, good governance etc, while Nigeria which they say is highly religious is filled with corruption, bad governance, infrastructural decay, poverty etc.

When these people make such comparison, what they are saying is that Nigerians need to put religion aside and devote their time to work for their country"s development. Well, it is a good thing to work for the development of one's country, but putting religion (Christianity) aside is one big evil advice. They are basically saying we should abandon God and chart our course ourselves.

The people who make these statements are usually the people against tithing and also against going to Church. According to them, how come China that doesn't pay tithe or have Churches is prosperous than Nigeria which has countless Churches and tithe payers? To an untrained Christian, their talk can make you lose the love for the things of God, but only those who read the Bible regularly are the ones who will not fall. They will not fall for those satanic lies of theirs because they stand on the word on God, which is what we will stand on today.

Hebrews 12:6-11 King James Version (KJV)
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.


Did you read the Bible passage above? It speaks of God's children and other children who are bastards. Did you see what the passage said about what happens to the sons of God? It says they will be chastised because God loves them i.e if they do wrong, they will be disciplined for it. It went on to state that any son who doesn't get chastised by God is a bastard son or not God's son.

A quick illustration is this: If your child asks you why you don't beat the child across the street who does whatever he likes which are mostly things you hate as a father, what will be your answer? You will simply tell your child that that kid across the street is not your child and so you are not going to spank him for doing whatever he wants. But for your own kid, you will spank him when he errs and reward him when he does good.

This is exactly what is happening with China. They are not God's children because they reject Christianity. They have decided to chart their course by themselves and have removed God from the equation. To them they are right in their own eyes.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

God is not punishing them because they are not his children. That's why they prosper and get away with many things until judgment day.

But we his children, even though we may be going through trying times, we still prosper in the end. Example is Joseph whose brothers hated, sold into slavery and was locked up in jail. What later became his end? He was made second in command to the pharaoh of Egypt and was mightily blessed. What about Job? He was the most perfect and upright man in his region at the time but lost all he had in one day. He lost ten children, his cattle, sheep, camels etc. It became worse that he was even covered with sores. What was his end? God blessed him and all he lost were restored more than before.

Did Joseph or Job abandoned God during their trial period? No, they didn't. So, why are you paying attention to the voice that says you should dump God because Nigeria is going through a rough time? Why do you want to stop paying tithe because Dangote or Bill Gates who doesn't pay tithe is richer than you and they keep prospering? If you disobey God, he will discipline you as a father would. The reason why billionaires and non-christian are getting away with disobeying Good is simply because he's not punishing them because they are not his children. But he will destroy them in the end because he's their maker whom they failed to acknowledge.

Yes things are bad in Nigeria, but are they totally bad? Have you been to some African countries like Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone etc? Even Ghana respects us very much. But because we are not like China that is older than us, we are now being deceived to dump God and do whatever we like.

The day of reckoning is coming for all those who have abandoned God. Their destruction will be Swift and unexpected. But till then...

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .

I really do not have much time to typ. But reading your write ups, i consider your write ups as hypocrisy, erroneous and fallacy... Do you understand what religion means? There's a place in it's definition that says "belief in personal God or gods... I some deep knowledge as a Christian but I do not subscribe to most things our pastors preach in the churches. Mostly in order to suit their biddings. Sending wives to influence their husbands, less exposed to believe in their preachings and mostly to preach things that would make you see them as small Gods. We don't practice Christianity the way the introducers practice it. An American will drink tea during fasting. I witnessed this. Do we say it is null and void? That China doesn't believe in Christianity doesn't mean they don't believe in a power above. They know their is a power above and they give utmost respect to that. Have you heard of Hindus?you just have of course. Christianity isn't a way of life it is an adopted religion. God doesn't judge people according to what they should have done better. He's a different being. U might think he's in London and yet he's here in Lagos.

Our homage to Christianity especially, not Islam or tradition has destroyed the Nigerian system more than it met it. Nigerians, by virtue of christionity have placed pastors above tradition, culture and mostly above God. Thus, we are where we are. Your messages here is an example. We believe in heresy!! Not writing you off in totality, but your preaching here is more of religious than normative.

1Sharon:
Hallelujah.

It may appear funny that Nigerians are very religious with poor development and suffering all around, but we will be rewarded In heaven.

Other nations that think they are smarter than god so turned their back on him will experience death in this life and the next

WTF!!!

Why are Nigerians so religiously colonised like this
U and who will be rewarded in heaven and for fvcks sakes,there is a big,fat,cuddly difference between being religious and being godly!!! Nigerians are not GODLY at all!!!
So God will destroy China cuz they are unbelievers

izzou:




Unfortunately for you, you are not God...

Jesus has died for everyone. Jesus died for me, you, the Chinese, the Arabian, the Atheist..... And so on. All they need to do is to believe. That's all. So where did Jesus propose destruction for those who don't believe?

Many religions believe in God. Christians do, Islamists do, Buddhists do, and so on.... Why don't you let God decide what kind of punishment they deserve? Who are you, a pencil, to decide who God will destroy?

You should be bothered if you will make heaven. That's what I do. It won't make any sense if you sound this religious and sanctimonious, and you end up in hell with Shekau

Your threads are useless though. I'm a Christian, but I always read your thread to see the clever ways you try to interpret the truth so it massages your ego

If I were a mod, your thread will make the front-page, but it must be in the jokes section

stop shaming Christians by calling yourself one when you don't even know what's written in the Holy Book or you read it upside down. Every religion claim to serve God even those that butcher their fellow beings but only one religion believes in Jesus as the only Way to the Father. If you don't have this belief, you're on your own.

God is not responsible for lack of visible industrial and technological development. The leaders are. God has given us the resources but will not manage it for us.
Thank you OP.

Your analogy is flawed and what you wrote up there is total nonsense. Using China as comparison does not hold water. Brazil is more populated than Nigeria and have the highest number of roman catholics in the world(123-150 million people are catholics in Brazil). However, their economy is more stable and far better than that of Nigeria. The reason is not far fetched. The total number of churches in Lagos state alone is far more than the number of churches in Brazil. Remember they are more populated. They invest in science and technology and build more industries while we invest in building prayer houses and urging people to bring money and pray in order to solve problems that God has given us the brain to solve. The same thing goes for Norway, Austria, Switzerland etc. These are christian countries that have set their priorities right. They have the fewest number of churches amongst countries in the world but they have the most stable economies. They know what to take to God for solution and what to solve by themselves with their God-given brains. Believe me, religion is causing more harm than good in Africa.And before you quote me, I am a pentecostal christian and also an engineer but the kind of christianity we practice in Nigeria is plain stupidity.

Some of them get destroyed here on Earth for their wicked ways e.g Sodom and Gomorrah, but most of them will wait till life after death before receiving their punishment.

Why bring useless requests to God while we can solve ourselves As in naija xtianity no dey wan make u use ur brain at all,u eat,sleep,talk, jump or shiit..na spiritual to pastors and imams. How stupid can one be when u have a brain but ur pastor's words overrides ur common sense because he is anointed and can't go wrong!!! You know why I dont go to church these days?? I dont feel blessed there anymore. Everything is just so skewed and biased to me!!!

It’s really a PITY

Dear Op:
I have been shaking my head since I read your write-up. You're one hell of a funny person. So by your estimation, the Chinese and other non - Christian countries aren't God's children. Whose children are they? Yours? The bible said God made man (humans)in His own image and likeness. This means there wasn't any form of distinction when God was making man. We're all God's children. Officially atheist nations like China, Japan and South Korea (to a great extent) are prosperous because they place a lot of emphasis on education, industrialisation, agriculture, open market, sound economical and financial policies which have led to a high level of sustainable growth in these countries. Are we doing the same in Nigeria? Do we even have stable electricity supply? Do you think God's plans for us is to allow us suffer miserably in this beautiful earth God took days to make? I don't think so. God Has given all humans resources that would enable them live happily and prosperously in any part of the earth He put them in. Nigeria is supposed to be a rich country considering all the resources we have but unfortunately we are a poor country because of mismanagement of the proceeds of our resources by our leaders. Israel is the holy land for Jews, Christians and even some Arabs . It's a desert country, yet it is a very prosperous country. Predominantly Christian countries like Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, The US, the UK, Iceland, Australia, Austria... are all prospering. The same goes for predominantly Muslim countries like the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Brunei...Why are they all soaring higher? You see, bro, God's love for all His children is equal. He doesn't love me more because I'm a Christian. And neither does He hate the next person because he's Muslim or an atheist. If our leaders decided for once to put its citizens, and national developments first on its agenda, Nigeria would transform into a nation worthy of envy.

Aside from Sodam and Gomorrah can you give an example of any nation that your god has destroyed in the past 1,000 years?

What kind of demonic reasoning is this?

What kind of God impoverish his children while enriching other people’s children? Wtf is wrong with some of these brainwashed Nigerians? Even God go shame for this OP.
