| 6 Churches in a single building |
No doubt Nigeria is one of the most religious nations on
this planet. From Christians to Muslims, traditionalists, Buddhists, Hindus etc.,
we have a lot of followers of these faiths. These religions are meant to manage
our characters, believes, morals but one can say they have failed us. And why
have they failed? They have failed because the leaders has lost their focus. Pastors,
priests, imams etc. have all left their primary calling and embraced the number
one worldly thing; money. The same money they preach to us is the root of all
evil has taking center stage in our religious gatherings.
Each Nigerian street has atleast 2 churches with the mosques
fast catching up with the trend. Hinduism and Buddhism are still scattered but
are fast gaining audience among the ever desperate populace.
These religious gatherings are also used these days by the
rich and wealthy to show off their wealth. From donations of cash in the tune
of billions to donations of landed properties and automobiles one can visibly
see what these organizations have turned to. An the leaders of these churches,
they do not bother where these wealth is gotten from, afterall they can buy
themselves private jets and live in luxury while the masses suffer.
My take is if this religious entities can revert to their
original intents of drawing people to God, our country will be a far more
better place. No religion from origin supports corruption or violence.
