Is Religion More Influential Than Politics In Nigeria? by HellVictorinho6(m): 3:59pm On Jul 17, 2023
I see people on nairaland mocking others when a calamity befalls them

They see them as useless and deserving of calamities 4 supporting this or that political party at whatever time.

I also see people as usual saying God knows why,God will do this or that,God should or should have been regarded like this or that 4 things to improve or not go bad or stay well or not get worse.

Which one,between religion and politics, really has a greater effect on how people treat one another,what people expect,and how people reason in Nigeria?


I think political decisions are more relevant to governance and consequently the economy BUT religion also affects the political decisions of many Nigerians.


I am trying to be sure. I mean the governed also matter to the economy,even though they MAY not be richer than certain rulers in the government. Their decisions also matter. So, i am considering the effects of religion versus politics on their being-governed case too.

In other words,i am considering if it is religion or just loyalty to a certain party that is more relevant to their assessment of the government.


Well,i cannot say the economy means EVERYBODY is poor/suffering. That means i also wonder which is more effective on how people choose to invest their wealth.


I probably won't get answers to these questions BUT you know Nigeria remains one of the most God-attributing/religious places on Earth where many things are eventually spiritualized YET the political differences make God seem like just another politician.

It can work in state politics but not federal. Peter Obi tried to mix the two together but failed woefully.

It worked for him in Anambra but failed in national elections. Below is a post from 2013 from one of his now hypocritical supporters.
