Why I stopped attending Catholic churches in Nigeria - Chimamanda Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a novelist, says she doesn’t attend the Catholic churches in Nigeria because activities became “way too much” about money, fundraising, and thanksgiving. https://lifestyle.thecable.ng/chimamanda-why-i-stopped-attending-catholic-churches-in-nigeria/ 106 Likes 9 Shares

She is a humanist like Mubarak Bala who was arrested for blacksphemy Religion stains whatever it touches. Religion has caused division among senior advocate of Nigeria. Ignoring the problem of religion in this country never manages to push the problem away. Ignoring the problem often compounds the problem until it grows into a mountain . . An average Christian wishes everyone is a Christian. An average Muslim wishes everyone becomes a Muslim. Each tries to project his desire to the other. Whenever a Muslim is in power, Christians fear he is on a mission to islamise the country. Whenever a Christian becomes president, Muslims fear the same.This fear makes it difficult for them to cooperate amicably . Christian trust Christian leaders, Muslims trust Muslim leaders. Our education system is fueling this saperation. From primary school, children learn mathematics, English language, Basic science and other languages together. But when it comes to religious studies, Christians are divided from Muslims. This continues until the child finishes secondary school. The school saperates the children as kids and expect them to miraculously work together as adults. The academia should develop a general religious knowledge curriculum. At an early age, children ought to be introduced to all form of religion outside the religion of their parents. A growing child should have basic knowledge of Christianity, Islam, African Traditional Religion, Buddhism etc. Limiting him to one knowledge alone create a narrow mind and makes him difficult to tolerate and work with another Religion for which he never knew existed. When we delve into other belief, we become intrigued by the similarities. We become more accepting . Christian should not wish everyone were a Christian. If everyone thinks alike, the world would be bored. God created us different for a reason . Muslim should wish every Christian develop a greater understanding and acceptance of Islam while remaining firmly within their own Religion. https://tobechispeaks./2020/09/08/the-rise-of-religious-rebels-in-the-north/ 245 Likes 23 Shares |

Religion in general, is a school you should graduate from as soon as you can so has to discover your very own spiritual path ordained for you from the beginning. Religion can NEVER lead you to God, only spirituality can perceive God; for God is Spirit. It is only one of the means and never the End. If you see it has the end, you will never understand your being and consequently God. Glad Adichie is coming to that understanding. 200 Likes 17 Shares |

Jesus knew why He said you shall do exploits if you know your God. Having insight saves, you could choose your path and vision and yet be part of a congregation while you kindly keep voicing out against odds. Absconding is not the best, there is a still anoiting in the sanctuary. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

I lost my faith in the church and stopped going since 2017. It's all about money and wealth. Not about the poorest members among themselves. A church is supposed to be where someone comes for refuge, not where one will be oppressed because they don't have money. You are respected in church organisations by how much money you or your family have and by what you have to offer. It's a sad thing that even the so called priests openly partake in the this irreligious affair. Sad generation indeed! 166 Likes 8 Shares |

Lies from the pit of hell. She don't because Catholic Church especially in Nigeria is strongly against Feminist and Feminism. ....look at efulefu saying when she finds a progressive Catholic Church outside the country, she will attend... Like the basilica in Rome and France I guess... So the progressive Catholic Churches just sprang out from the tin air i guess? Please, who is supplying weed for this feminist? In Catholic, It's a tradition for "communicants" not all attendees to fast before mass due to the reception of the Holy Eucharistic, except for the sick and elderly. Thats what this feminist see as a problem...shes just a pergan in disguise, she absolutely knows nothing about the faith, norms and tradition of the Catholic Church. even if am not to partake in the reception of the Holy Eucharistic, I find it difficult to eat before going to mass. Book no dey again to write, na chasing clout now be her priority 37 Likes 3 Shares |

I'm not a Catholic, but one church in Nigeria I admire most is the Catholic Church. There is this Catholic Church close to my residence, they have a mini flat(Bungalow) close to the Church auditorium, this house has housed a non Catholic with his six children for more than three years now. Every Sunday mass will be ongoing and the man and his family would dress and pass right in front of the church auditorium to living faith church(Winners chapel) where they worship. Which other denomination tolerates such? 193 Likes 14 Shares |

I don't usually bother about all those so many offerings and fundraisers but guilt tripping church members to donate is what I don't like, giving is from the heart and done by those who have, or the pastor tells donors to stand up in other to tension others to stand so as to uphold their high esteem in church, churches giving preferential treatment to the wealthy is a story of another day 29 Likes 3 Shares |
