Hi, I understand how you feel. The problem is illiteracy. Our educational system/sector is shambolic, we(Africans) can't think straight. A lot of us think of religion as an escape route to dodge reality. It shouldn't be so, it(religion) simplifies life it's not a different life from life itself.
As long as our educational system is still shambolic, we having more illiterates to literates, we can't go far. That's why Nigeria is unproductive.
Guess what, when u say let's try make awareness to change things, they tell you to stay in your house and pray. When you say vote wisely they tell you your vote doesn't count and they'd vote for the politician that came to their place of worship to knell before the church head, most likely APC and PDP. When you say let's get involved, they tell you politics is a dirty game.
Bible sef say: My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Jesus told Judas Iscariot: The poor (unproductive) you have with you always.
He knows some people will not just think straight.
Jesus also said: "When you blaspheme against the Holy Spirit it's an unforgivable sin". It means when you don't believe in the Holy Spirit there's nothing I can do for you. In other words, when u are so f*cked up in the head there's nothing I can do for you. That's why God had to tell the older generations of the Israel to come home, they just couldn't think straight.
I just pray we(present generation) work on our educational sector, to help the next generation think well. So help us God.

They are religious bigots,filled with hate, hypocrisy and greed, and they think cos they go to church, pay tithe and make noise everywhere they will see heaven, lol. Na heaven wey dia fada build dem go enter

Exactly my point and someone here thought I was trying to bring down her religion. I weep for this continent.

More wisdom bro, you said it all.



Incase you don't know na me talk

It is not that they are stupid but just that some of them don't know exactly what they mean to be in a religion. Being in a religion doesn't make anyone intelligent and it has been proven. if you want to be intelligent than you can be so without having any religion. Therefore you cannot just focus on black people in general.

I hope that when you are talking about black people then you are also included because then you oil be considered to be a racist. It si no lie that some black people are stupid but it cannot also be denied that religion has nothing to do with it. Some people are stupid because they chose to be stupid.

Religion doesn't equate to intelligence

U can be religious yet u can b stupid

There are other forms of intelligence that been religious doesn't and won't teach u

Religion is just for spiritual intelligence

U can't survive in this world with just spiritual intelligence alone, u need other forms of intelligence like financial, aesthetic, academic, interpersonal and intrapersonal etc

Any Religious person that is stupid is because that person doesn't have other intelligences asides spiritual intelligence shekina!

S

The problem is that if you aren't already intelligent, religion can fuel your stupidity as people follow themselves blindly in religion.
