Nigeria As A Powerhouse by H2O2: 10:33pm On Jan 01, 2009
While religious and especially conservative Christian themes may be controversial in Hollywood, the large and growing film industry in Nigeria is gaining a global reputation for producing Christian movies, often with action-filled, supernatural plots.

So I wonder why your leaders are not watching these films for deliverance.

Anyway, since all these films have not delivered you, how do you expect them to deliver your leaders.

@H202,

1) Those movies may be gaining "internationally" but their main audience remains 99.9% african, to be more exact, west african.

2) The majority of the actors in the movies are not known to be true christians themselves, so why expect the leaders and many of those who watch to be transformed by them?

I've seen loads of "born again" who are worst than your past and present leaders.
However, being a religious person has little or nothing to do with development in the society as most nigerian leaders spend more government money on irrelevant religious activities like sponsoring prilgimages and building monumental worship buildings which the masses are unbelievably okay with.
Most religions encourage their faithfuls to pay less attention on their comfort while on earth. Guess its the reason why nigerians find it difficult to question their corrupt leaders as they have been told that judgment is of 'god'.

Good governance is all about common sense; knowing that you will have to build and equip hospitals incase one falls sick, building schools which helps in innovations and inventions, knowing that constructing and maintaining good transport system helps reduce accidents. The list is endless.

Finally, I do respect whatever faith anyone professes but one does not need to watch those boring and poorly made naija christian movies to be a born-again or to be a born-again or imam in order to do the right things as a leader. After all, the likes of yerima, Egwu, shekarau, Fayose, OBJ, etc were all very religious leaders who intentionally wasted their community.
