As I was wondering about today’s topic I realised we have already touched all the areas. Let me do a recap today just in case..if I miss anything then please feel free to add.
1. Churches in Nigeria are now: a place where pastors kill their members, other members say nothing and still continue attending the church and saying amazing things about the pastor.
2. A place where pastors preach against fornication, adultery, corruption but systematically fail to notice that those vices are prevalent in their churches.
3. RCCG for instance had a world record number of people who were indicted for fraud: Sola Adeoti, Cecilia Ibru, Erastus Akingbola etc etc
4. Our churches are a place of recognition for criminals and economic saboteurs. Name any corrupt govt official who has not had a front row seat in house on the rock, winners chapel, RCCG etc. In fact if you have not sat in a front row seat in these churches you’re likely to make heaven.
5. Churches are a place of prosperity for a few: the pastors. Anything is available to them…whether it is $10,000 silk suits, SUV’s with Security, dream homes, Private jets…all paid for by god especially as they have no source of income.
6. Our churches are now Magic Palaces…where people go to get degrees without studying, get married without courting, have children without sex, own homes without paying, become rich without a job.
7. A place where the poor contribute their small change to the development of the church but yet do not have access to the same facilities they paid for. Take Jesus House Nursery school as an example. Fees are N170,000 for the first term alone.
8. Poor people who attend these churches cannot even get help from fellow members. Not jobs, not business start up capital, not training, in fact not even a lift to the nearest bus stop…
9. Pastors now prey on minors and try to have sex with them.
10. Its a celebrity show down on Sundays with awards usually discussed amongst the congregation for best dressed male and female and best cars in church.
When I look through this list, I cannot for the life of me see what the benefits of this type of Christianity is…its deceitful and destructive at best. More people who go to church will end up in hell than those who don’t…that is confirmed.
Awkward truth about Nigerian Churches
