The blame of the irresponsible and visionless government has always been passed on to the christians. It is such a bad thing

PrecisionFx:



Christianity in America n Europe never at any point in history penetrated their society like it did in Nigeria.

Meanwhile only 30% of the American populace identify as Christians n many of the self professed Christians don't ever step foot in church.


No one said Nigeria failed because of Christianity, Daddy freeze never said so as well. Rather Christianity is part of the problem in Nigeria n its a very serious problem.

Do I blame you? You are using technology created by people who care less about your religious beliefs to attack their belief. Who is the fo.ol? Look in the mirror.
I didn't see Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Zuckerberg dancing like the crazy "The Chosen" followers to invent what you use to type the rubbish above. Your pastors buy the best cars and private Jets build by non-believers. Your so-called men or women of God are quick to adorn designs by Tom Ford, Versace, Givenchy, Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent, Michael Kors who are all openly gay designers. Who is deceiving who? Christians are the most hypocritical beings on this planet.

Gates said he goes to church, his wife and kids are also Christians. Zuckerberg is of the Jewish faith and he confirmed this on Facebook.
Jobs was also Jewish so what exactly is your point?

Do all Christians dance like the Lord's chosen members?

Most if the technology you enjoy we're discovered by Jews and Christians so your hatred for religion holds no water. On the other hand atheists have achieved nothing other than blame Christians for all their woes.

""Join out train of those who grow the nation from the church.""

D church that has completely failed to take care of the poor, widows, orphans, fatherless, motherless among dem are growing Nigeria?? - U must be smoking a carefully selected number of dried animal dung .

The day the church will rise n start growing the world economically, Poverty will come to an end worldwide.

djon78:


You need to know the church can never rise to start growing the world economically!!

The church was never called to do that. The church is called to be different. The system of the world is already judged and it will pass away.

The poverty we see is because of the evil world system. God never intended poverty, infact God is not poor at all.
So the church is called to be different from the world.

Lmao.

Well you can call those ones but let's go back to the Bible, Jesus, the book of Acts and the epistles of Paul, Peter, John will truly give you a better clue of what the church is.

Let me quote some;



1 John 2 King James Version (KJV)


15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.



1 Peter 1 King James Version (KJV)

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.



Ephesians 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.


Also Jesus always said that his kingdom was not according to the kingdom of this world.


You can mention a church or an individual. But they are not God. Everything must be judged according to God's standards not mans.
That's why Jesus told us that the road that leads to life is very narrow and only very few find it.

Many people focus only on things of this world neglecting there soul. Jesus said what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. A man's Soul is worth more than 100trillion dollars.

And don't tell me God cannot do it, He did it before during the time of Noah, only him and his household was saved, while God judged entire mankind in his era.

India produces 0.9 million barrels per day, mbpd, of crude oil and refines 4.5mbpd as a result of the 25 refineries she has. She achieves this by importing petroleum for her self built  refineries (read the contribution of Engineers India Limited, EIL, to India's success story). Nigeria's crude oil production is 2mbpd but refines about 0.2mbpd in her four dilapidated refineries.


My question is how has Christianity prevented the functioning of our refineries or construction of new ones?  When India was establishing EIL to help in construction aspect of the petroleum industry, what was Nigeria doing? Today EIL is into almost all aspects of engineering. Several other non oil producing nations import crude oil, build refineries and sell refined products to a prodigal nation like Nigeria. I still keep wondering why Nigeria didn't  build a refinery once every four years since 1960.

The steel industry in South Korea, Iran and other Asian nations started almost the same time with  Ajaokuta Steel Complex and the Delta Steel Company  (with about a million tonne installed capacities each). Several years later, the production capacities of the steel companies in those Asian nations have been surpassed and they have become masters in steel technology. Unfortunately, Nigeria's steel project is still a mirage.

You'll wonder if Christians are to be blamed for the woeful performance of Nigeria's  steel industry. You'll wonder if a stoppage in tithe payment will raise both steel production by reviving the steel plants from comatose or bring about new stell plants. It is a pity to see the church being blamed for the consequences of failed politicians and their policies.

Take a look into the educational sector to see the laudable things being done by the church from the establishment of the first primary school, 1843 in Badagry, till the time government mischievously and forcefully took over private primary and secondary schools. Qualitative education was a trademark of those good old days. It is now obvious that the government bastardised the educational system, later gave room for the church and the private sector to come to their rescue.

It is so terrible to see Christians as a threat in all areas of  socio-economic investments, as she is being castigated for all government's inefficiencies. I believe Nigeria's educational standard would have been much better than what we have now if the church's participation had not been been interrupted in the first place.

Malaysia took oil palm seedlings from Nigeria in the 70's, today Nigeria imports palm oil from Malaysia. Malaysia's palm oil refineries are bigger than Nigeria's petroleum refineries while Nigeria keep producing palm oil- and other farm produce- the primitive way. Agric graduates roam the streets seeking for employment because they are unequipped to revolutionise the agricultural system.

Why do we have to blame the church for the government's neglect of the agricultural sector as well as running a monolithic oil economy? Why don't we hold the government responsible for not revolutionising the agricultural sector? Are non christians not part of nation building as well?

Asian Tigers, UAE and other developing nations had rapid transformations as a result of the developmental principles they applied. Life is governed by rules, laws and principles, if you abide by them, you'll succeed. Some African nations are embracing developmental principles of massive investment in education and industrialisation while Nigeria is investing in kleptocracy, nepotism and illiteracy.

Christian critics talk as if we'll immediately have good roads, electricity and all other social amenities when tithes are not being paid. They see Christians as the reason why Nigeria's unemployment troop is increasing daily. 

Silicon Valley was started by graduates of Stanford University (such as William Hewlett and David Packard) and today, it is seen as the world headquarters of information technology and hi-tech products. As Havard undergraduates, Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin were able to create facebook in their room. The quality of education offered by American universities made these possible, but Nigeria educational system turn graduates into pop-corn, car wash and beer palour entrepreneurs.

Read my articles "entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a Scam and a multiplier of poverty" Part 1 and Part 2.

https://www.nairaland.com/2983340/entrepreneurship-nigeria-scam-multiplier-poverty

https://www.nairaland.com/3102449/part-2-entrepreneurship-scam-nigeria

More than 40 percent of Nigerian Christians don't attend church at all or attend irregularly. More than thirty percent of Nigerian church goers don't pay tithe. More than sixty percent of "tithers" pay lesser than ten percent of their income as tithe, while many still pay irregularly. I still wonder how a little set of faithfull tithers are being crucified for Nigeria's underdevelopment.

The onus of national development lays on tithers, non-tithers as well as christians and non-christians, especially the leaders in the public sector who are the main policy makers. Nigeria needs someone like Late Lee Kuan Yew of who single-handedly provided the visionary leadership for his country that lacked almost all the natural resources- including water- and transformed Singapore into a great nation.

Orphanages, universities, primary and secondary schools, football clubs, hospitals, skill acquisition centres and many more are what Christians, churches and tithers have invested in, so they should be applauded for their selfless contributions to nation building.


What Nigeria needs presently is to see how we can encourage churches to invest more in projects that can bring rapid transformation to Nigeria. This will be the focus of my next article.‎
