Nigerians are very religious to the extent of being divided along religious lines during elections and other social discuss. They guard their beliefs so jealously to the point of even committing murder in some extreme cases.

However you will see them actively and consciously engaging in actions supposedly considered sin in their religions such as:

Examination malpractices,
Giving and taking bribe,
Stealing,
Kidnapping,
Sexual immorality,
Internet fraud ( yahoo yahoo),
Forgery,
Age falsification,
to mention but a few.

They even boast about some of them like sexual immorality.
In the case of issues like examination malpractices and age falsification, they can gang up to deal with anyone who tries to stop them. A former police Inspector General of Nigeria said he was once almost lynched for attempting to stop examination malpractice.

Please Christians and Muslims in the house, I would like to know how you manage to live with all the societal ills you commit, knowing fully well that your God/Allah does not permit you to do them.

Is He going to be forgiving all these deliberate acts from His remorseless followers?
Is there any special waiver for you guys when you threaten others with hell?

Or Is there any way you plan to:
Trick Him,
Convince Him,
Force Him etc.
To get around the punishment or do you somehow know/believe that the religion of a thing is all a lie and there will be no consequences whatsoever?

The average Nigerian has witnessed, supported or participated in at least one of the above-mentioned.

I know it's difficult but let's try to make and get some matured responses without undue sentiment.

Mods please move this to front page because I believe these are the real national emergencies.

It's so despicable seeing people arrogantly refusing to practice what they preach. And they will come to complain that the leaders are corrupt, very few Nigerians can say they wrote their ssce without engaging in some form of exam malpractice. :'

Not very few but very many until you people ended "To repeat Class" and "Expelled for inability to cope with school" and giving jobs and promotions to Dundees and prostititute.s instead of The Qualified.

So people have rewarded genuine hardwork with failures and frustrations while rewarding cheats with success up to even Presidency eg Buhari certificate affair, Chicago and Toronto certificate forgeries.

And of course teaching everyone to cheat and prostit.ute to survive eg see how bad and terrible English is flowing everywhere from people who claim to have gone to school.

As Okey Bakassi said
"Truth has been stiffled so that stupid people can be comfortable"

You have said everything. People never live according to what how they know and say that they should live.

Because someone attends Church/Mosque does not automatically make them a Christian/Moslem

Ok

Nigerians will even neglect credibility for their sentiments and frustrate those that are hard working and intelligent.

So you think other normal countries are not human enough to behave in such a way?

Very good question! It is indeed that many of those you describe are simply intentionally wicked, and also happen to find themselves in an environment where there wickedness is tolerated and they allowed to thrive in it.

Every human on this earth has the tendency

We all have the tendency for good and for evil - that is what human nature really is all about. However, when you observe individuals or people's tending mostly towards evil rather than good, it ceases to be about human nature but instead about choices, intentions, towards one side or the other.

The tendency to do good or evil is inherent in everyone. Religion fuels that tendency.

The society also determines the crime propensity of an individual. And a lot is also determined by peer pressure, poverty or otherwise, upbringing, exposure, understanding, culture, etc.

intentions and choices are not part of human natures? I thought we had “free Will”
You are confused.
