You said Nigerians are too religious or appear to be over-religious. You can’t be over-religious, if it is properly understood. If anything at all, we are under- religious in this country. What appears as being over-religious is due to the manner we organise our religious programmes and the mammoth crowds we see at some religious events. That is why we are assuming that we are over-religious.

But these mammoth crowds that usually attend these religious programmes abandon their duties in the process. Is it not negatively affecting the country economically? In the last few months, we have been waging war against sex-for-grades in our higher institutions. This buttresses the fact that many of these young people possess degrees with no content, meaning or value. They purchased these degrees by selling their bodies. There is no justification whatsoever in the Bible that can make people say, ‘I will not work because I want to go to church, or I will not work because I want to go to mosque, or I will not work because I am going for religious outing.

People commit atrocities with impunity and you are talking of being ethically right. God is holy and righteous. He is a God of justice. So, if you know Him, these elements should reflect in your lifestyle. You cannot claim to know God and be doing things that are unethical. So, as you blame the pastors, you must also blame the people who are following them sheepishly. Pastors have no monopoly of God’s Holy Spirit. A Christian must know his left from his right. When a pastor or a preacher is preaching blasphemy or preaching that which is not agreeable to the Word of God, or preaching something that is not biblical, you ought to say this is not right. And you either stop going to that church or you call the preacher’s attention to your observation.
