Dear Christians in Nigeria: your pain is real, but this crisis is bigger than religion. For centuries, migration and old power ideologies have driven certain groups to push southward and settle new lands, long before today’s faith lines. What makes the violence intense now is...
Ask this fellow who wrote this long talk, if the so-called Catholic Church will approve of him making an altar to pray to his own dead relatives as the canonized Saints, then hear him mumble with words...
Lemme answer this in 8 points. But let me begin from you. I want you all to tag him to this so that he can see this.
1. You composed a criticism of an important article of the Creed of the Catholic church. I really wish you didn't, but you, as a Christian decided to write that. Has the Catholic intercession of the saints ever stopped you from achieving your life's goal, or you decided to join the bandwagon of those who criticize the Catholic church for clicks?
2. The idea that the saints are dead or that asking for their prayers is a white man's invention fundamentally misunderstands both Scripture and ancient Christian history.
3. Jesus explicitly stated in the Gospels that God "is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him" (Luke 20:38). Because Christ defeated death, those who die in faith are more alive today in heaven than we are on earth.
4. The Church is just one big family. If you can ask your friend on earth to pray for you, you can definitely ask your older siblings in heaven to do the same. Plus, African saints like St. Augustine were doing this centuries before European colonization even started.
5. Saying this is a white man's idea makes no sense because African Traditional Religion (ATR) does the exact same thing. In ATR, people respect and talk to their Ancestors (the living-dead), asking them to intercede with God for protection. Catholicism and African tradition actually agree here: the people who lived good lives before us still look out for us.
6. In real life, if you want a job, a visa, or a favor, you look for a connection, someone with influence who can put in a good word for you. That’s all intercession is. It’s not worship. It is just utilizing your network in high places. Just as you used your connection to arrest that unfortunate guy who insulted your wife.
7. The idea that you either pray or fight is a false choice. Praying doesn't mean you sit back and do nothing. Some of the biggest fighters in history, like St. Joan of Arc or St. Oscar Romero, were deeply spiritual. Prayer isn't an excuse to quit. It is the fuel that gives you the strength to stand up and fight your battles.
8. At the end of the day, everyone has their own way of connecting with God and finding strength. Mocking how someone else worships doesn't make anyone stronger. Respecting people's faith is just basic human decency.

I am first and foremost a Muslim. I am an adherent of Islam, an Abrahamic believer, and a Hanif before anything else. Only then am I Yorùbá.
To those who have made it their mission to question the loyalty of Yorùbá Muslims, you may continue your attacks. But know this: for a true Muslim, Islam will always come first. It precedes ethnicity, culture, and nationality because it is the primordial covenant with our Creator.
A Yorùbá Muslim is not conflicted in his identity. He was a Muslim in the divine decree long before he was conceived, and he entered the world as Yorùbá the day he was born to Yorùbá parents. These two identities are not rivals—they are perfectly compatible. One defines his eternal soul and purpose; the other shapes his language, culture, and earthly heritage. Both have their rightful place.
If any Yorùbá Muslim chooses, for whatever reason, to place ethnicity above Islam, then that person has failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of our faith: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and nothing has precedence over Him. Such a person's reckoning is with Allah alone.
My identity is clear and unapologetic: Islam first. Always. Everything else follows in its proper order.
The core of all religious beliefs is Selfishness..My god better than yours, my beliefs better than yours, my ways better than yours, now my denomination over yours...
But we who are against religion is the problem
What are these NONSENSE prayers bro ??
I need all you RCCG members to come out and defend this.. Since that’s what you airheads know how to do best
COME OUTSIDE and defend this rubbish
I don't believe in hell/heaven, but if there is, I will opt to go to hell to ensure I torture this man myself, cos I don't trust the demons to do a good job...

“You can’t say the President and our armed forces are not working, they’re working. They might have sent security agents to the forest and something will just cover their eyes and won’t allow them see the terrorists, that’s where prayers come in”
-Gospel musician Adeyinka Alaseyori
To a thinking mind, the kids kidnapped in Oyo state like many other kidnapping and killings would have serve as evidence that prayers don't work...
If na Bible story, Elijah for Don send down fire or send Bears, but this is reality not fairytales...
Whenever you wake up...
While people in the region of Nigeria think their problems started with APC, the real problem started in 1914, when regions with little in common were merged into one corporation called a country. Until that foundation is dismantled, peace and progress will remain out of sight.
Doing a prayer walk against people who are willing to die for their cause is foolishness at its peak.
Until we are willing to die, then this madness sees no end
A thinking mind wouldn't go past two lines to know these are fairytales...
Sadly we were indoctrinated from childhood not to think, but swallow and believe
I’m yet to understand the bromance between God and Lucifer…
1. God created Lucifer and placed him in a high position in Heaven.
2. Lucifer rebelled.
3. The archangel Michael expelled Lucifer from Heaven.
4. Lucifer turned against humanity which God created and loved.
5. Lucifer still appears before God with other angels (the “sons of God”).
6. God allowed His Son, Jesus, to be killed because of what Lucifer had done to humanity, in order to reconcile humanity back to God.
7. Jesus died, fought Lucifer, and took the keys of Death and Hades.
8. Yet Lucifer still roars and continues to disturb humanity, which God created.
Why evil still exists?
If God defeated evil, why is evil still active?
Why allow Satan any influence at all?
Why allow Tinubu as president ?
