Nigerians are very religious people. They can pray 365days a year for the same things politicians were elected to do.
They would even pray for their political leaders to loot and embezzle resources, forge certificates, and commit all manner of criminalities. They would have their eyes closed in prayers, soaked in their religious beliefs while Politicians cash out.
Politicians now know that Nigerian “mumu button” is religion. They have been pressing that button for long, keeping the people as “mumu.” They would rather build you Churches and Mosques, send you there to continue praying while they loot your resources and live large. They have the GOs as accomplices!
Akwa Ibom State, a very rich oil state spent N32.3bn in building a Church when citizens continue to live in poverty with no jobs.
Meanwhile, a Syringe manufacturing company is about to leave the state six years after it opened.
The quality of men who find their ways into leadership positions in Nigeria is reason why building churches and mosques would become priority projects instead of attracting investment and empowering entrepreneurs. Religion is indeed the opium of the Nigerian people. They have smoked it so much and have become foolish!
