Nigeria has the largest number of Churches per square kilometer in the whole world without anything on the ground to show for it in all reality. Prayers and regular Church attendance are primary and daily obligations to most Nigerians. The national poverty rate is 80%, the unemployment rate is 50%, Nigerians do not enjoy any social services and modern national infrastructures from their government at all levels in this 21st century.
The public schools and the higher institutions are running on outdated curricula that are based on the 20th century education, the Nigerian Police Force can not guarantee the security of life and properties of their fellow Nigerians. Despite her oil wealth, Nigeria does not manufacture anything significant, inferior products that are below international standards are dumped on her market, the national economy is still at the consuming level and import-dependent since 1960. The culture of official corruption and the massive mismanagement of her state funds are the standard ways of doing government businesses by her public elected and appointed officials. Election rigging where the true votes of the actual voters will not count is the representative democracy in Nigeria since 1999.
Her prosperity pastors are super-rich and private jet owners in the midst of poverty, hopelessness and misery in their own Churches and they are eager to dine and to wine publicly with these highly corruption state elected and appointed officials. Everything in the life of a typical Nigerian is a miracle without any personal choices or responsibilities for their actions or decisions. The witches, wizards, demons and generational curses are blamed for all their misfortunes in life. The pentecostal Churches are now the new healing centers because the government hospitals and the clinics are completely empty because of decades of neglect and corruption. Millions of sick Nigerians that cannot afford to go to the few privately owned hospitals or travel overseas for medical treatments rush to these healing and deliverance Churches. Religion has turned millions of Nigerians into bigots and fanatics. Nigeria for now is a failing nation is all reality.
