So you have blatantly ignored the crux of the matter. What a shame! Many people are unaware that the industrial revolution rode on the back of a spiritual revolution in Europe. Many of the great inventors and scientists back then were Christians. Its the opposite today. No great thinkers are found in the church again because of people like you who dodge the responsibility that Christ gave to give light to the world because Evangelism is the only way you feel you can impact the world. Shame! Joagbaje: 1 Like |

Until More Industries are been Set Up instead of Churches, until more people spend the night on research and developing themselves, instead of Vigils, Nigeria would remain where it is.. Period 3 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=Sibe007 post=55792938]Nigeria: Just recently I was handed a flyer, a church was planning to establish another branch to add to the already many existing ones in that area. They tagged the campaign, Lets-go-a-fishing I personally feel, it is enough. Especially where you already have branches saturated and considering that making more Religious centers wouldnt solve our enormous problems that need clear cut practical solutions. Please when will they start the campaign for Lets-start-factories Lets-create-jobs People need JOBS... If they are unemployed, they would not have enough to give (offerings and the Mandatory one), If people are unemployed, you will all suffer from area boys and road side robbers harrassing your members. How is your Spiritual Practice (Religious activities) making the community and society better. After all your singing, dancing, praying, preaching..... How is it making any difference. What problems are those activities solving. Do you like the way Nigeria is? Is this really okay? Are you using all these to shy away from certain responsibilities? Newton's first law of motion - Nothing will change until you act and things will remain the same until a force makes it do otherwise.[/quote guess u r unemployed] 1 Like |

There are no scammers in Nigeria today than churches. My annoyance is that they milk people unrepentantly even unemployed and underemployed members. How can one help an unemployed relative with some amount of money to start a little business and all he does is to first go pay tithe. The devilish pastor accepted the tithe of a struggling-to-eat young man and someone expect me to step my foot in a church again ![]() 6 Likes 2 Shares |

izzou:Where is the Op... I think this guy has given the best reply to you. let me add a little to what he has already said. You people should not just throw the blame to the churches as if they are the cause of what is happening in this country. Most of the things you've listed are the responsibilities of the government to provide in a very sane society/country... Yes. This is not to say that religious bodies do not have their parts to play too |

Sibe007: bros u av spoken very well, dis was wat I was just telling a friend of mine who is a member of rccg in Warri, I am a Catholic just for records.. Formally d Catholic mission in Warri was focus on humanitarian service, but since d pentecostal churches came wit dia branch opening n school buildings, all mission who did humanitarian services have shifted to revenue generating service... churches can build orphanages, old pples home, fire n emergency service, hospitals, leposoria, farms, labs n research centers, technology hubs n centers... I don't knw why de ar so crazy abt schools, opening new branches n even recently guest houses... besides all d talk abt goin fishing is to convert Christians from church to church, no new convert from traditional religion, Islam, atheist to christianity... d tin de tire me... 3 Likes |

To all of you shouting the church has not done enough for the society. To all of you saying there are no longer great thinkers. Have you sat down to think... What have you done to change or add value to Nigeria? You want people to stop doing what gives them joy and start building industries, as an Individual what have you personally done or built? The church that handed you the flyer was started by one man, why not start your own organization and see how it goes? Stop hating someone for what they believe in, it doesn't change anything. You cry for more industries, yet criticize the church for building and owning schools. You say they don't create employment yet criticize them for setting standards before they employ a staff. How hypocritical can we go. If religion doesn't help you, then don't disturb others who find joy in it. Its their money, they pay offering and tithe with it. Try using yours to save someone's life or build an industry. I bet the money you spend on drinking alcohol is more than 10% of your income |

Sibe007: Hundreds of thousands of people serve as pastors under these churches, they get paid before the months ends cause they are under an administration that is not gullible like your federal government. You are leaving those you should fight alone and you are ranting here. Let's go a fishing programme is targeted towards winning lost souls like yours and church expansion to new sites. Tell your federal government to learn from RCCG's Let's go a fishing programme and increase employment. 2 Likes |

Well, I've read through the comments so far. I discovered people have started to blame the church for the failure of government. The raw truth is that there is nothing any man can do about that. God has blessed the church already though church is beginning to fail too. Op, you have a good idea, why not turn it to a vision and a mission instead of waging war against a vision God gave to His servant. There are many like you who have seen problems around them and they turned it to great visions and they are making great impact on the lives of the ordinary people. Your idea is very great and I buy into it. Please ask God for help to transform it to real vision and you will achieve it and we shall all be blessed. Attacking the church wont yield any fruit, go develop on your vision. |

Sibe007:the only reason i chose to comment is because i know in your head you feel you have made sense. Do you know how many men the churches salary are keeping off the streets? The welfare services they offer? Any reasonable person with a working head wont challenge a church to create JOBS THAT IS WHAT YOUR USELESS GOVERNMENT IS FOR! WHEN DID YOU CHALLENGE YOUR LOOTERS LAST?! |

Sibe007: Good bless you for this thread. I have always maintained that there is a conspiracy between our religious leaders, traditional rulers and our politicians. And they all have something in common. Intellectual laziness. It's easier to collect tithe and offering than to set up factories and employ people. It's shameful that as a nation we can't feed ourselves but who cares? Sunday morning churches are filled up and Africans are praying and shouting sweet Hallelujah forgetting that prayer is not in the success equation but in the revelation equation. Good roads, electricity, jobs etc only comes as a result of sound decision. |

VULCAN:Let me take a cue from you. Jesus, light of the world, right? Meaning Nigeria right now having "light" problems, what is church doing about it as the custodian of the "light?" We have forgotten that Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics, was a Friar. (Friars are different from monks in that they are called to live the evangelical counsels (vows of poverty, chastity and obedience) in service to society, rather than through cloistered asceticism and devotion.
