Even if they are religious..it's because they lack the fear of God, lack self discipline, lack self control and not contended with what they have...and the bad economy, poverty hunger hardship can make one to be so desperate for money and involve in corrupt practices ...and for the politcians is just selfish, greediness and the flabouyant, expensive, luxurious lifestyle they live make them to be corrupt and loot money in order to finance their expensive, flabouyant, luxurious lifestyle 1 Like 1 Share |

The environment is an enabler. Caught a student yesterday, told her to stand, a senior lecturer saw and sent her out. My collegue were telling me, "i shouldn't have sat her up" and i started regretting it. As small as that scenario is, thar is the start of corruption. 2 Likes |

The same thing applies to everything else we do. We are religious, but lack morals. We have degrees, but no knowledge and thinking. We like to take up political positions, yet we have no knowledge and skills to get things done. We have 9 passes in WAEC, yet we don't know anything about the habitat of mosquitoes. Nigeria is a group of sugar-coated human beings, two-faced, and double-edged. We are just luke the food you cook for your high value guests - spend alot on it to entice and impress them, yet we are very hungry. |

Siberia01: It is hypocrisy if you ask me. Nigerians should do away with religions, should stop hiding under the religion's cover, come out boldly and do their thing |

I said it here some days ago that "Africans are battling with corruptions while the Europeans are battling with immoralities". One dude here disagreed |

Because religion is a lie! Satan brought religion into the world as panacea to the sin problem, which is not, to keep humanity received until physical death ends all. Jesus came to expose the lie and provided the way out by paying the price for our salvation. |

Siberia01: Religion does not give you the power to conquer sin. Only genuine conversion in Christ does that. Unfortunately, very few ministry preach the gospel of salvation. |

/ Don't worry about Nigerians. I can guarantee you that if rapture happens today, there won't be up to 10 Nigerians that will make heaven. Once you know this, you will associate more carefully with them. Trust BUT verify! People are looking for miracle to escape poverty. It ain't got nothing to do with spirituality that's why miracle centers are where the multitude exist. / |

Because it's all bullshit! Everyone is deceiving each other. It's certain that it's not religion that will save Nigeria or any other country for that matter. It's productivity, thinking outside the box, job creation, eradication of corruption among our elected leaders, etc. 2 Likes |

[quote author=naturefellow post=127890380] 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! [/quotel] Simply tell us that you are an atheist, leave Christ and his followers alone |

Cause most religions were designed to control and subject the masses, not help them. Mainstream religions are just cash cows. You even see corruption in the place of worship. And the members will blindly defend whatever the minister says. |

Re: Why Are Nigerians So Religious But Corrupt? by IbeOkehie: 1:17am On Jan 12 |
I'll make it brief. The key is a simple question. How did you become a Christian or Muslim? Since Christianity and Islam are not native to to Nigeria or West Africa, there was a point of conversion for every family or lineage. I continually challenge every Nigerian to look into HOW and WHY their family became Christians & Muslims. The stories are all the same. Ask your parents and grandparents to tell you. And the question of this thread will be answered in full. Good Luck to Nigerians. 1 Like 1 Share |
