Is The Church The Problem Of Nigeria? by OnuChuks: 6:33am On Feb 23
America still believes in the Nigerian church and they invited our own in their presidential inauguration but content creators who are begging for followers comes online to tell you that they have given up on Nigerian church and you are taking them seriously...

Politicians embezzle money meant for roads, salaries, medical care. They know these politicians but they leave them and start blaming the church for poverty in Nigeria...

They say America, Europe and Asia don't pray but Nigerian church prays yet we are poor... Do they not know that in these countries, financial corruption has life jail or death as penalties?

I stop taking you seriously the moment I hear you making such childish comparisons... Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Emirates don't steal from public coffers because they are nice people, but because they are afraid of consequences..

That is why they all rush to feast from the continent of Africa, where they partner with the powerful guys among us to manipulate consequences...

Have you not heard about the allegedly dirty roles of China, UAE, America, Belgium, France etc in the mineral resources theft going on in The Congo, through Rwanda and many other dirty deals going on in African countries...

They are saints in their countries but to Africa they are economic vultures and scavengers who sponsor all kinds of executive corruptions ... And incase, any African leader refuses to dance to their greedy tunes, he will live all his life in power afraid of assassination, coup or internal insurrections.

But if you accept to be on bed with them, they can allow you to keep ruling even if you are 100years... How dare you look at your oppressors and call them saints?...

I am living in Brussels, less than 10 minutes from EU headquarters where they make the laws that keep Europe stronger but make Africa weaker. That is why the first thing to do to lose my respect is to blame the church in Nigeria for the underdevelopment caused by politicians who have embezzled public funds...

China just executed one of their former leaders for financial corruption. The former French president is still in court for the financial misappropriation, traced as far back as Gaddafi days...

But your former governor who didn't pay pensioners and workers salaries for years; who stole all the money meant to build roads and hospitals are still among the senators, rigged in through INEC to represent the same constituencies they have been stealing from...

Where is hope in such country? And yet, people have the guts to say that the church is the problem of Nigeria...

If we all stop attending night vigils and start looking for night shift jobs, please, where are the jobs? Which factories are we going to work when one governor has used the money meant to build factories to buy uncountable towers in Dubai and America?

Please, this year, if you meet a false prophet, deal with him and leave the church in Nigeria alone...

Let nobody come to your space this year and see you promoting contents of people who claim they love the church but are ignorantly demarketting the works of God among us... Some of them are not aware that they are manifesting illiteracy... While others are manifesting inner bitterness and disappointment you know nothing about...

It is not everyone that loves Jesus today that will continue with Him tomorrow, according to scripture... While we keep interceding for them and showing love, but don't let them blackmail the church around you...

The church in Nigeria is not the problem... They are only aligning with the wrong lines of prophecies...

Yes, there are some works to be done, but trust me, it is too late for God to abandone the Nigerian church... If truly Jesus is the hope of the world, then, it means that the Nigerian church is the hope of the world...

Where else can God find young men and women who are ready to waste for Him as He can find them in Nigeria?
We don't have jobs yet we have joy...
We are victims of our government yet, we depend on the government of Jesus...

No food.. No home... No hope, yet, we refuse to cast away our confidence in God because we believe that it has great recompense...

When you meet Nigerian Christians abroad, you will know the difference.. They might not be perfect, but, in their zeal you will know that God has already started a story with them...

Why would Satan not try to use evil politicians in government to frustrate Nigerians since he knows that God is depending on them for this end time harvest?...

This same Nigerian church that have been mocked by every content creator will soon become useful in the Hand of our Creator...

A time is coming when it will be difficult to do anything in the world if Nigerian church is not represented... How you feel about this doesn't matter...

Whatever took Nathaniel Bassey and Pst Kumuyi to the inauguration of the president of almighty America means that the glory of the Nigerian church has begun...

Me, I have taken my place... I know many wise people who have also taken their place... Soon, the world will soon begin to pay attention to the Nigerian church...

If I were you, I will take my place too...

Let us Pray!

Solution will comme afterwards too
But salvation first

Church is not and can never be the problem.

The occultic politicians and false gods worshippers spilling innocent blood , the ritualists, those kidnapping, buying and selling illegal drugs, political magomago, etc, these are the things causing Nigeria's problems .

Infact we thank God for the true churches in Nigeria, because of them, Nigeria is not totally destroyed

OP is either a pulpit bandit or the child of a pulpit bandits

Any human being who collects money from other humans on behalf of an unseen entity is a THIEF . You don't need a judge to tell you that.



Any human who gives money to another human with the mindset that he/she is giving money to the creator of the universe or any unseen entity is not only a big fool but a mad person.

The explosion of the church in Nigeria is a direct result of hardship and unemployment.

That's why the church seems to have no impact on morality. Actually, the moral decline explodes as the numbers of church increases.

Yes, they have economic impact and also affect education.
Churches abroad are like NGOs but here they are family empires. Our pastors have jettisoned the templates of the Catholic, Anglican and Baptist that brought development and civilization to the South West and South East and have expanded the tenets of pentecostalism.

While it's true that the church provides employment to many people in Nigeria, a study titled HR PRACTICES IN FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN NIGERIA will expose so much nonsense that will make people give up on religion all together.

I am a pastor, lest you rush to misinterprete this.

The church is not the problem of Nigeria.
Infact modern advancement and civilization started from the early churches. The earliest universities like Oxford, Paris and Bologna started from the church monasteries. If not for church,the world today would hv been empty.

That's why most advanced countries today are Christian countries. The problem with religion in Africa and Nigeria is our refusal to follow the footsteps of our colonial masters who brought the religion by building an egalitarian society like they hv over there in Europe. We copied their religion but jettisoned their way of life.

If that’s your yardstick you very wrong, America won’t invite a struggling church from Nigeria and they would invite world known bloggers too

Christianity is a way of life just like other religion, it’s left to you to adopt that way of life that suite you. Nature always let us have options.

No

But it's a branch in the tree.

See, Nigerians and most Africans are generally very superstitious due to our folk ways.

We merely transferred that superstition to the two invaders religion which found our superstitious ways as a very fertile ground to sow their seeds.

NO, the true church of Jesus is not the problem but those who are false, like the fig tree deceiving others that they have fruit but leaving those who go to them as hungry as they came.

Those churches that are den of thieves instead of places of genuine prayer to God, where people do not sincerely repent and turn to doing what is right. Places that encourage laziness and a religious nature of waiting on God to please their flesh and they pray amiss instead of receiving power to work hard and make wealth.

Churches that rob the poor and side with the wicked politicians while honoring them but disregarding those who need help. Who preach all kinds of lies and prophecy peace instead of repentance. Places where the power of salvation which is from the gospel is absent. Those places are part of the problem in Nigeria.

But those people are also from the churches and many attend churches too! Those selling fake drugs, foods and narcotics are more from the churches! And they pay tithes too!

Even many of those sponsoring terrorism are from the churches!

Not the church, religion itself is a disease
If people practice faith and religion is given an unationalistic view, there would be no problem, example in Singapore, Muslim, christian amd Buddhist don't allow religion cover Sense of national prosperity and survival.


Same thing with Tribalism.. we can't wipe out religion, but we could make sure the fact that you are Moslem doesn't mean you can kill a Christian, being a Christian doesn't give you the right to be coward, and bring traditional is mot an excuse for skull mining and human rituals.

The nation is supposed to come first, your religion and tribe personal.. only then can a Fulani man be seen first as a critical stake holder in providing protein, an Igbo man respected for his commercial and trading gifts.


These stupid tribal and religious nonsense is the reason Nigeria will fight each other like the Greeks .. only to find we have come a long way together, a d can't survive without each other. even if we try, it will end with one group trying to forcefully take another groups land because they actually do need it if they want to survive.

Religion and tribalism isn't the problem it's a tool by the government to keep us busy and occupied, they know if they do something about it, we would see reason to unite and kick them out..

Yes the north (use to) dominate politics, but isn't every tribe represented in the federal government? , how good is the Yoruba government, compared to the north, South or eastern led ones since 1960



Religion is what Islamic terrorist and now bandits hid behind to try grab land, they don't mind killing fellow Islams or fighting another group doing the very same thing.

It is the reason christians are cowards and wait for Jesus to come help them fight .. I always wonder how useless we are having an immune system fighting diseases inside us, but outside here a coward is hiding behind the cross... Me am Peter oh.. you do anyhow I cut your ear.

It is the reason traditionalist feel untouchable, as per cultural respect.. and use this as a cover for rituals.

It's not a particular religion it's the government's use of it as a diversionary means to keep stealing.. every religion is present in the government.. how Good are there??

Religious people (both Christians and Muslims ) are people with low mental faculties.. and they are the majority and that’s why countries with highest amounts of Christians and Muslims are the most backward in the world

It takes extreme stupidity for anyone to believe those stories written in the so called holy books

For example, how will someone believe that Mohammed split the moon into two? It’s a case of extreme gullibility, stupidity and low mental faculty

And how will someone believe that they are a descendant of Noah, like a black man believes his ancestor is Noah a Jew?
Or that a donkey talks, or that a serpent was talking in a garden? And the serpent was cursed to crawl on its belly?
Or how will someone with a functioning brain believe in Tower of Babel? When undeniable evidences and facts proves that languages have been in existence before the so called Tower of Babel… those are extreme cases of stupidity.
And imagine a nation being populated by this set of humans, how will that nation ever progress? Tell me pls!

Stop this nonsense talk…

The church did not contribute anything to science and advancement. On the contrary, they killed the early scientists and prevented the growth of science and knowledge because according to them, they were heresy!
At the point when they realized they can’t stop science from moving forward, they had to relax their laws to accommodate science and allowed them as long as they dedicated their findings and works to the church… many of the scientists had to comply to save their lives
