Pukkah: The average person doesn't like to be criticized or found wanting. And when caught, the instinct is to TRY to push the error, fault, responsibility to another person or event. And because the other person might say it's not his fault, the devil who is always speechless becomes a perfect excuse.

Nigerians have perfected this art of blaming the devil, unseen enemies, witches in the village or some funny factors. In recognition of this, the law focuses on facts and does not recognize the devil in meting out punishment to offenders or law breakers.

The use of the devil or a third person or some silly reason is everywhere. It is used by non performing workers, criminals ( a 65-year old suspected pipeline vandal said he thought the fuel was holy water) and even in government (Jonathan blamed the massive oil theft in Nigeria on other countries).

In addition to those who blame the devil, some people also blame their memory ('oh, I forgot').

The list is endless but the critical thing is the attempt to push away responsibility.



The problem is also the new churches, who preaches only about money moneys money and when it not work it was the devil or the witch.

When Pastors and Bishops and Overseer will stop about preaching about money miracels than nigeria can change.
I never hear one of this new churches preaching about you have to work hard, I know why because this brings no money to this so called great man of God who are flambuante an d jetflying business man.

Refusal to accept personal accountability for our actions.

This irresponsibility is entrenched from the top to bottom of the Nigerian society - politicians who blame 'political opponents' to deflect accountability, to others conveniently hiding behind the devil when sh1t comes down

Truth is that the devil plays such a prominent role in their lives

Apart from the devil, your flesh can also lead you to do wrong. This will be confirmed during the millennial reign when the devil will be bound for a thousand years, yet sons of men will still have rebellious dispositions.

Those churches do it for selfish reasons. They want themselves to be the life focus of their members.

If the members should be fed with liberating messages such as hardwork and little/unclear role of prayers in the real life, the relevance of the churches (and of course the financial inflows) will drop significantly.

those who blame the devil for misdoings are either fools, Satan's coworker or are oblivious of God's power residing in them untapped. The devil has no power to push or force you to commit a crime, he only brings the idea persistently into your heart, which you shouldn't entertain,else you'll find yourself committing such. The Bible says,in
Proverbs 4:23 . Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Even as God did not pardon Adam because he disgraced n belittled himself by alluding that he was deceive. and by that calling God imperfect in creation, God created a perfect man with enormous freewill to decide and to choose between the right and d wrong.
anyone who fails to take responsibility for the repercussions of his actions but blames the devil is not ready for forgiveness and to forsake his sins.
who knows maybe God who have forgiven Adam if he had been remorseful and ask for forgiveness.
The call of God in Gen. 3 vs 9,may be a call to repentance but unknown to him, he began to shift blame. God was so disappointed in him

The Devil has always been the greatest scapegoat of human beings. It is humans who paint him as having horns on his head, hooves on his legs, with the body of a goat and carrying a three pointed staff. May God Guide us from temptation,.Amen
