"There are almost no true Christians in Nigeria."

"I could comfortably say 99.999999%."

The problem is when we try to judge others from a sanctimonious point of view, we end up judging ourselves. Your self-collated statistics reeks of self-righteousness, and judging from it, you're out of the number of Christians in Nigeria because 99.999999% is approximately a 100%, mathematically speaking.

Run along, brother, quit whining and go do what Jesus commanded you to do in Matthew 28:19: go preach the gospel and reduce your 99.999999% to 0% if you can.

What I said is the truth

MaxInDHouse:

Perhaps you don't know what Christians really look like or what we stand for!

I don't know

I don't know

Are you willing to know so that you and i can study the Bible together on this thread?

What I said is the truth

Everyone thinks what they say is the truth, including the religious extremists committing havoc all over the world.

The world will always contain both the good and evil, hence Jesus's parable of the wheat and tares. Despite the hardness of man's heart, Jesus never said, 'These people are too corrupt, they're not worth dying for.' He still came for these 'corrupt' people. Made apostles and disciples of many and gave them the mandate to make more disciples.

I was once where you are now. Judging others so harshly because I wasn't doing it from a place of love. Ask yourself, what is the purpose of this post you put up here? Is it to preach Christ or to validate some egocentric views? Take it or not, there are beautiful saints all over the world, including Nigeria. If you're not seeing them, perhaps you need to get out of where you are and broaden your scope.

Do not see this as a brewing argument, I have no time for such and hence I won't come back here even if I'm mentioned again.

Jesus is a Jew and the Jews aren't just nice people as most people erroneously presume so when it comes to being nice look at a Jew with the view of someone who is jealously adamant to the principles and rules of the God of Abraham.

Now who is a Christian?

Christians are subjects of the Christ who are looking forward to living forever under the rulership of the King of the Jews: Christ Jesus

So it's not just about being nice but strictly a follower of Christ as a spiritual Jew.

What are the rules or principles guiding the spiritual Jews?
Our God has promised us that we will inherit the earth forever under the rulership of the Christ {Psalms 37:9-11, 29} so our first objective is to help as many as possible to gain Visa into the Kingdom of God under our ruler Christ. Matthew 28:18-20
What about people who feels they already have their own religion so they don't need the Christ? We are to cohabit peacefully with such ones as well meaning neighbours {Mark 12:31} while we continue to relate with our fellow believers as brothers and sisters {Matthew 12:46-50} and love them just as our King was ready to give up anything for us! John 13:34-35

Christians don't belong to any nation {John 17:14-19} we are like one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers so globally we all share the same line of thought {John 17:22} that's why we don't participate in politics since our King is coming to exterminate all human government and establish his righteous rule! Daniel 2:44

So when you say there are no Christians in Nigeria that's because you don't know what we stand for therefore can't know anything about our activities since we're not opposed to any human government, whatever they demand we must give them but never our 100% loyalty {Mark 12:17} our neutrality will surely make politically oriented people hate us {Matthew 24:9} as they always want to have a say in the politics of their country! John 11:48

We will never go against any country in wars because our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus commanded us to LOVE our neighbours as ourselves {Mark 12:31} LOVE our fellow believers just as he love us {John 13:34-35} LOVE and pray for our enemies! Luke 6:27 -28

Our movement is aiming at global peace {Isaiah 2:2-4} under the rulership of the Prince of Peace! Isaiah 9:6

Satan has blinded many people {2Corinthians 4:4} he used his own agents {2Corinthians 11:14-15} he initiated them immediately after Jesus' ascension to heaven {Matthew 13:25} and because they mixed with politicians they're the ones people like you thought are Christians, they support politics so when world rulers order to go fighting and killing they do with passion even killing their fellow religionists in other places {Revelations 6:3-4} by so doing they confused observers like you.

That's why our God promised to change the name of His own worshipers after we have been separated from amongst Satan's agents globally {Revelations 18:4} our God began calling us by another group name today:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

YOU ARE RIGHT. WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT OF THE WAY OF GOD.

ADEBOYE, KUMUYI OBASANJO AND OSINBAJO ARE TRUE YORUBA CHRISTIANS AND ODU-DU-IWAS.

Christians are in Nigeria. Very few Christians. Most of the ones you see are actually noise-making church goers. As in, the types that will force all their staff to do morning devotion in their business places, speak in tongues all through, and then cheat the very first customer that comes in in the morning immediately after those showy "devotions". Those are the ones you can see regularly.

Why are you being Nigerian with your caption too. Every single Nigerian in my rating is corrupt not ALMOST! Can't you see the state of things in the country currently. Any living creature in Nigeria under any nomenclature can scam you in the blink of an eye. Let's not pretend!

Serendipity2023:
Christianity, at least in Nigeria has failed abysmally and has been replaced by hypocrisy and pretence.

If Christians means those that live like Christ, then there are almost no Christians in Nigeria.

This is seen in our greed, corruption, avarice, desire to cheat and hurt others etc.

If you do business with a typical Nigerian you will understand this. It's even worse with the pastors.

I once upbraided Ladipo Motor Parts men who closed shop to pray one morning.

This is because I know there are no honest traders amongst them.

They would easily cheat you even if you you were their mother.

They care not. It's all about the money. So why the pretentious prayers?

Prayers without efforts to lead a good life.

Love for humanity transcends over every other law and he that doesn't love doesn't know God.

See Mark 12:31 and 1 Jonh 4:8.

This greatest message of Christ has been deviated from and is no longer being preached.

It's now all about prosperity and material possessions.

Today, the pastors, priests etc are just there for the money.

The early apostles lived communally and cared for one another.

If you aren't rich today, the leaders of the church won't bother about you.
