There's somethin about us Nigerian Christians that you can't help but ponder.
We represent a rare breed of hypocritical piety, spiritual respite and most of all, stellar reliance on God. Some have been conditioned to believe that everything good and bad could only have been from God. You hear stories of blood, corruption, violence, kidnapping, wars and still hear some Christians tell you it's the "will of God".

My goodness!
Yes! God asked some people to
sell off millions of tonnes of dates (dabino) given to Nigeria by the Saudi
Arabian government for the purpose of feeding the IDPs, God triggered armed
robbers to shoot down the Zenith Bank branch in Owerri, God motivates ISIS and
Boko Haram, it's God's will that you marry a man that beats and squeezes life
out of you like tie and dye material.
Yes! God this and God that.
Sometimes, I just wonder what
God thinks of us Nigerian Christians, especially when we beseech Him for the
silliest and most unintelligent requests.
