This was my project topic few years ago. I try to explore religious hypocrisy in Nigeria, and the effect of such hypocrisy on non-converts. Every Sunday, we have millions trooping to Church and on Friday, millions streaming to Mosque, however, corruption, violence, and different maladies won't stop. Both leaders of such religions are not exempted. We use religion weapon to exploit the masses economically, politically and psychologically, fighting for worldly superiority and amassing wealth. Religion is the most dangerous tool after education, and religious is the greatest weapon after fear, for fear is gods' greatest arsenal, that's why the worshippers created hell. |

Edikan24: The thing is there are many wolves in sheeps clothing whose false doctrine are sending many to hell. The bible also warns about them in 2 Timothy 3 and 4. We have entangled so many wrong doctrine mostly from our cultural background or societal agenda into christianity, the result is damnable heresies. |

Nigerians are the most hypocritic set of people I ever know. Both the citizens and the authority. Early this week, the authority started the demolition of structures on the land that belongs to the Nigerian Railway Authority, in the Bodija area of Ibadan, Oyo State. Although they have given the occupants enough notice, but the funny thing is that all the religious centers, mosques and churches are spared, while all other structures, like residence, shops were pulled down. What even annoying me is a primary school that used to be there besides a church building, was pulled down while retaining the church. Nigerian govt is funny. They are hostile to business, but when it comes to religion, they are lenient. I agree with what someone said, few years ago when Yinka Ayefele music house was demolished by Oyo State Govt. He said if Ayefele had named his building a church or mosque, govt would not have demolished it They build worship centres in aso Rock, yet the place remains the capital of political and financial corruption. Nigeria, ilu to jina si 'na, to sumon alujana. 1 Like |

Becos the church& religious authorities, and members of the generations are waiting for their turns to steal as the generation of Obasanjo, Danjuma, et al and successive FMGs in Nigeria after 1972 have taught them to do, and put to thrive social mentality of Nigerians. The few not so social mentality disposed are few, far and between; but are not in the clergy, priesthood, alas, the religions...... |

Every society's corrupt, you can't change that Most first world countries are corrupt Even china is corrupt But religion and being so forking religious is like being a menace to society Blame the yt nigger for colonizing Africans when they've stayed where they were instead of coming to Africa Africa dump their true religion for Islam and Christianity which both are 90% causes for the downfalls happening in the world |

qtx: Flesh&blood have not revealed this to you. What people don't know is depending on places as divided up by principalities. The Devil assigns more strong principalities and less ones to areas he has already taken. The Devil is working hard to undo the work of the gospel done in Africa so that God will be heavily despised. Notice, that Africa has been pushing the gospel to other places. Now, thd Devil has perversed the Church with untrained, false Christians, and critics like Freeze that will see the name and knowledge of God extinguished. |

naturefellow: You hate God and anything godliness that is why you are easily attracted to anything that portrays Christianity in a bad way. Nigerians are far better than the Europeans in the area you talking about only that they cover themselves and people like you who are obsessed with anything European will always like their ass. |

Being corrupt has nothing to do with religion. Because non of the religions support or teaches corruption. It all lies in our mentality. Our advancement, progress as Africans lies in our mentality and attitude and not religion |

GreatAchiever1: The word CHRISTIANITY originated from were if I may ask? And did Jesus called his followers Christian during is earthly ministry? Those who believe in the teachings of Jesus were called Christ Like by unbelievers in Antioch because they behave like Jesus. The word CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM is like PDP and APC which is used to differentiate between those who belong to a particular group and those who do not. The word CHRISTIANITY is just a title, those who truly believe in Jesus are sons of God |

Justnation: Religion without ethics is idolatry. This is why Nigerians are still far behind, and hopelessly depended on developed nation. I chose ethics over religion any day! |
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Religious But Corrupt? by tuzle(m): 2:00pm On Jan 11 |
We carry church matter on our head more than reasoning with our brain. Even some simple things that u just need simple reasoning to solve, they will still carry it to church. That is why I try my best to avoid over religious people who believe everything will be solved by calling Jesus (I am here to argue that the name of Jesus can't solve ur problems). There is one person that was arguing with me on tithe one day, that paying tithes solves all problems. She was using a particular verse in the old testament to prove her point. I now told her that okay o I have accepted. That is how I opened another verse and showed her that the same old testament said women shouldn't climb the alter to preach and guess what are pastor is a woman. That is how she said we should forget about it. |

Nigerians just do "eye" service. They want to pretend so that their pastors and imams can see them dedicated to the church and mosques but terrible with their neighbours. The moment you introduce yourself as "Pastor George or Imam Waheed", I can never do business with you. All pretense. |

GreatAchiever1: John 1:12-13, To those that received and believe in him he gave power to become sons of God. He did not gave them power to become Christian but sons of God. So instead of asking someone are you a Christian or a Muslim, while not ask if he or she is a child of God. |
