Why Are Nigerians So Religious But Corrupt? by Siberia01(m): 11:47am On Jan 11 |
Almost everybody I know wakes up with different bible verses on their social media platforms. You see everybody going to their different places of worship, praying, crying ,dancing , shouting. Alot of others preach repentance. Then I wonder,how come we have such a corrupt society? Jobs are meant for a particular church congregation.. If your not a member of the church no job for you You see politicians in churches and mosques Who are the ones stealing this monies ? 129 Likes 14 Shares

Seunpapa65: Oga, church and wickedness have nothing in common. God is not responsible for people's hypocrisy, evil and deceit. The problem with Nigeria is that we abused everything, including religion. Because God is merciful, Nigerians abused religion. But the same God made it abundantly clear that there's a day of judgment and that everyone will account for their deeds. While we wait for that day, anyone who dies appears before God in judgment 177 Likes 13 Shares |

We can too kabash in this country.. Rekee rekkeekee shindara ba reskete... My neighbor was kabashing overnight with a very loud voice disturbing the environment.... I just laugh.. Matt 6 5-8 said teach us how to pray... Matt ch 6 VS 5 (don't pray like an hypocrite... Am trying to turn my life around by learning at night and you can't pray silently? Some people believe God won't hear them when they pray silently until dem shout... Wetin give u assurance say your shout pass your roof? How do I pray? After I Don see shege from prayer houses et AL, I just wake up in the morning, bring out my guiter and worship for as long as the spirit leads.... Let your praise and worship outweigh your request. I am not religious but I believe in God and Jesus. The world didn't just come to be The air, water, growth, fruits, foods, birth and death, aging are all testament that there is a God in heaven... I no need worry myself this year Sha, God Don show me say na my year... If you like believe say God dey, if you like, no believe. 47 Likes 2 Shares |

Two of them very religious (the two main religions in Nigeria) We are actually very religious but not righteous nor honest at all as a nation. Hence our low rating in governance and development 35 Likes 2 Shares

You are correct. Even former Governor of Taraba, Reverend Jolly Nyame went to jail because of Corruption. Some also go to church & mosque every Sunday & Friday but come here with their vile tribalism. That's how they take it to the streets and their place of work. You would think their religion condones such behaviour. Hypocrisy. 33 Likes |

Let's tell ourselves d truth corruption is about morality and not bn religious.most countries especially d Asian countries like Japan and China and some Europeans countries like Sweden and Denmark aren't religious countries but their systems are working perfectly cos their leaders av high morals and their citizens will graciously kick u out when u don't av morals.for instance only last year d former pm of Britain (4gotten his name)was told to resign cos he lied to d people 13 Likes 1 Share |

That's because we practice religion devoid of godliness and morality...! An average Religious Nigerian is equally bigoted and clannish lacking love for his neighbors. Ironically, the Bible a lot of Christians claim to study and abide by clearly defined true religion as follows: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27)" So, there really isn't much difference between most Nigerian Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, and ISWAP terrorists. 6 Likes |

Here are the answers: 1. Narrow is the way to eternal life, and broad to destruction. (The more we are, the more evil multiplies...300 million people... ) 2. The love of money is the root of all evil. (If you think your parents are outstanding...get money...and you will see them compromise everything they taught you) Let me stop at these two. 6 Likes |
