This Is What Religion Has Done To Nigeria As A Nation by Tayorshd87: 11:12pm On Jul 23, 2023
It's time to END NIGERIA so that people who want development can go ahead.*
~ Bishop kukah

I have never been as unsure of Nigeria future as I am now………BISHOP MATTHEW HASSAN KUKAH

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast.

So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and build a great factory of it.

While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology.

While we were praying, India went into ICT.

While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization.

While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development.

While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development.

While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens.

While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon.

After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour.

Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc had been rewarded accordingly. It’s only wise God rewards us with our efforts in prayers.

That’s why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest churches. That’s why there are more prayer houses and worship places than hospitals and schools. That’s why people rush to prayer houses for medical and business solutions instead of hospitals.
That’s why we don’t do business proposals before jumping into business since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when such collapse, we blame devil.

That’s why it’s a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams.

That’s why our pastors don’t consider the opinion of engineers while building and blame devil when the building collapsed.

That’s why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapsed we blame it on Lucifer.

That’s why our pastors are making sure they plant church branches instead of schools in every street in Nigeria.

That’s why we always wait for God to do that which ability to accomplish He has already handed over to us.

That’s why we want our teachers to labour on earth and come to heaven for their rewards.

Nigeria is a prayer loving, God fearing nation. Religion has taken the place of technology, infrastructure, education and all.

When we are traveling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements, servicing of our vehicles and pray. And, once we pray, we can put a half fit vehicle on the road and blame our step mother or mother in law if anything goes wrong.

That’s why there are more people dying on our roads than wild life animals in the wilderness.

Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God when God has given us all we need to survive and build a nation…….
~God help us.🙏🙏

WE NEED MORE WORK TO MAKE NIGERIA WORK THAN PRAYERS

Especially the extortion from churches......


People believe that, all their problems are solved in the church. Their hopes are in the churches .. take it away and many Nigerians will be frustrated.

Imagine someone telling me that my offering equals my blessings from God.
Re: This Is What Religion Has Done To Nigeria As A Nation by talented321: 12:17am On Jul 24, 2023
Our people are very gullible' japan 99% of the population don't pay any tithe or pray and fast to any christian god yet they are leading us in all ramifications.
Now just imagine the yahoo pastors are doing with there followers this days, and the worst part is' this followers are ready to defend this nonsense with their life.
When a pastor need's car' let contribute' and when a member need money for surgery they will say let's pray and fast.

Religion is not the main problem of our country, are we more religious than India, or Israel?
The only true god in this materialistic country of ours is money and more money, no matter how you acquire it, you will be worshipped.
The afflictions we suffer most from in this country is Greed and lack of foresight.
Nigerians have a peculiar show off attitude and the need to be at the top among our pairs at any cost, hence we focus on faster ways to make more money rather than invest our efforts and resources in more productive ventures.

When talking about the problem facing Nigeria most deluded individuals think of religion instead of politics forgetting that religion has always been there from time immemorial, the only difference today is Western education that was imposed on our people along with their political system.
Education supposed to be on it's own Religion on it's own and Politics on it's own but when the whiteman came they diplomatically entered our people through education making us believe they're better then override our religion and political system.
Most countries doing well today aren't speaking foreign languages rather they use their mother tongue to teach their children everything making it difficult for the West to override their religion and politics but come to Africa even our traditional Kings must speak the whiteman's language in our own gathering before we can respect them.
So the same people have discovered that their old trick isn't working anymore now they're introducing ATHEISM to our children making them feel the problem is from God whereas it's the political system they imposed on our people that's no longer working even in their own countries their people are protesting against their political system.

Some are even threating brimestone at Davido for making a musiic video with religious clip.


I have visited the outskirt of this centre of unity and I see church front back left right and center. Yet there is high prevalence of corruption, sickness hunger and poverty in da land.

In the traffic, you would see a very big Bible place on the dashboard of some cars. That was supposed to be a bidding document.

Some would say God has called them whereas they are the one that called themselves

You people don't have a good grasp of the logic behind this thing but I feel narratives are always sweet if it's acceptable by a significant number od online people.


Are Nigerians as religious as the Indians? Why are Indians prospering and Nigeria is suffering?

If you understand the dynamics of Africans, powers and religions, maybe you will change your stand. Those religions alone don't determine what happen to us, rather we are the one determining what happens to the religions.

Or else, why do the religions say one thing and people are doing another? Yet, we blame the religions. Again, what about the traditional religions or you haven't observed that the ritualistic aspect of traditional religion (especially money ritual) is what people keep alive?

We as a people need to check ourselves. Religions don't unilaterally determines our fate. We determine as fate as a people.

NO! Rather the politicians use different tools to blind their subjects.
The 2023 election in Nigeria is an example of how the politicians brainwash their people.
PGO became the people's choice because of the failure of PDP (16 years in power) and APC (8 years in power) so the politicians discovered that their former tool (religion) has failed now they quickly switched to (racism) and it worked so that most of the people supporting PGO are now divided!

See in traditional religion there is always
NO deity is rigid to the core they all have what it takes to appease them in secret no matter what you did wrong or vows you make all you need is knowledge about the deity in question that's all! smiley

Traditional religion has his own side effects which l know' but u know what? Whatever u do in tradition worship u gats pay for it here on earth while christian & muslim will promise u heaven' and that u can sin and after when u are died' that is when u are going to pay for the sins u have committed here on earth.
People that indulge in money in ritual to make money is fighting for their own selfish interest' just as pastors also deceive their member' the aftermath is the consequences that matters.
Oga' religion has big problem in this present nigeria.

That's why I want people to begin to see that religions by themselves are not the problem, there is something about our mentality as a people that needs to be corrected. Else, religions will lose their adherents and we will still have the same problems.

Look at all sorts of evil that people (sometimes members of a family) do to one another because of greed. Is there any religion on earth that support greed. Even scientism and athiesm doesn't support greed.

Religions like tribalism, racism etc are just tools. If we know how to use them well, we prosper as a people. If not, we keep finding excuses for our stagnation.
