plaetton: This comes to my mind as I learn that Governor Peter Obi has completed a modern e-library in Anambra State.When the Great Awolowo wanted to bring education to his people, He was advised against such on the premise that an educated mind is difficult to control.... I have come up close with one of the top ranking bishops in naija and one of the things i can codely tell you is that these men are armed to the teeth ranging from mass phychology,bussiness,power,logic amongst others...my point is that someone somewhere will always profit from anothers ignorance.......Read read read wide..readers are leaders....listen to the man am borrowing his business empire model from-winners......he once said he read a book that changed him...daniel in the book of daniels speaking says i daniel understood by books. |

@op your question was twisted and ill-conceived. Are you even aware that the church and other religious bodies were responsible for the introduction of earliest libraries ever? Their roles cut beyond just inculcating morals but educational knowlegde to the benefit of mankind. They have been centres crucial to the preservation of valuable historical texts, antiques, and science thereby laying out foundation for the ones you are so endeared to today and many have benefited from such libraries in the past. Bro, i don't know what your animosity against the church or mosque is but please don't be one-sided in your judgement ok. Monks, Islamic scholars who spent virtually most of their lives at worship places have contributed to the development of humanity over the centuries. Be appreciative and don't disrespect. Thanks! |

Apart from being natural anybody seen as a rightous person in our society today should be traced to either the church or the mosque, where sermons are given and questions are entertained from individual on how to live and leave as at when due.A non righteous will not tell you that is what he or she learnt from the scriptures but while comparing LIBRARY it is seen as a monumental place for the books where stories and tales are kept for the people, here no question, no side talking, no music or sharing of experience with anyone. What you read is what you know. |

Nigeria being what it is, Christian fanatics will chose Churches while Muslim fanatics will chose Mosques. The reasonables and intelectuals will chose library anyday. Those intelectuals worship in Churches and Mosques as well but they dont bury their heads in the sand. The knowledge of what we are today, technology, can not come from somewhere else except books/library. Chose what you want but the truth remains that 1 good Library is far more better than all the Churches and Mosques in West Africa. |

If the number of churches/ mosques is the number of libraries & the number of libraries is the number of churches/mosques in this country, then won't be complaining of basic human needs & that wouldn't mean we will be less Godly. Even Jesus provided food, health & peace for his followers, if churches can't do that anymore & books will do it then let what should be be. Afterall it is all about human & his well being I don't know what religious bodies represent outside this country , all I know is that religious bodies in this country have lost their values. People that go to these religious institutions all the time to grow spiritually are lazy & weak both physically & spiritually. People are lazy to read, make researches & develop their own belief system themselves, they rather want others (spiritual leaders) to do all these for them. That's the reason There's no growth. Library will give you the liberty to develop your own belief system & @ the same time acquire knowledge. Bibles & Quran are in libraries |

I What planet did all this happen? Can you furnish us with names, places and time? Nonesense, There were librabraries long long beforte the advents of churches and mosques. So what if monks had libraries in their monasteries? The question is simple, mosques, churche and libraris, which is more beneficial to a society? Would you prefer to have your children spend their free time int the librariy or ih the church or mosque? |

To my own openion christianity is the best cos christianity is not a religion is the way to acces God through Jesus, even Jesus hate religion.those that persecuted him are religion leader and if we are talkin about church is not the bulding but the worshiper of living God.is when people are practising christianity as religion that is whn riot wil step in.so christianity means christ like and we know who the prince of peace is. |

hakym_biyi@yaho: Really? so all the rightous people in our society are products of churches and mosques? Wow! So with all the churhces and mosques in every nook and crany of our cities and villages, Nigeria should be the brightest shinning example of riteiousness in the whole world, dont you think so? Is that the case? Infact,there is a strong corrolation between the explosion of religiousity and the break down of morality, division, confusion and the disfigurement of the social landscape. |

The obvious answer is a Library. A secular Government has no business erecting religious buildings anyway. Religion has never been useful tool to building up society, rather it has been divisive factor through out the history of time, fragmenting populations and formenting trouble. |

Well for the i think the OP is up to something and might start getting it soon. Both the church and mosque are far better than the library. So why start this trend in the first place ask the OP the last time he visited the library. The earlier we understand the motives behind some post the better for us on this forum. Everyone seems to be catching the web of BH and fake pastors but let us remember that our experience in all of these menace is as a result for the quest for power, money and control. No reasonable Moslem will kill another, have got a lot of them as friends and they are far from such I have got an english Koran and its far from what this BH guys passes across. Some prophets fought war even Elijah killed the prophet of Baal with swords. Please read 1king 18-22 New Century Version (NCV). Religion is a bigger political tool for destruction now cause its difficult to challenge and also fight. Slavery of blacks spread for decades and as a student of history and my dad been catholic its a known fact that Pope Nicholas V(15 November 1397 – 24 March 1455), born Tommaso Parentucelli, was Pope from 6 March 1447 until his death in 1455.Nicholas issued the bull "Dum Diversas" (18 June 1452) in response to a request from the Portuguese monarchy. King Alfonso V was conferred the right to "attack, conquer, and subjugate Saracens, Pagans and other enemies of Christ wherever they may be found." Well this is not the teachings of Christ my savior. Religion is a political tool as a result of its significance. Like I always say not all Germans are Nazi's. Its a face and it will fade off some day. God is love and Love is God. |
