"Many of our preachers in Christianity and in Islam fail to see that religion is a human act, and, as a human act, must not be taken out of the sphere of intelligence" - Cardinal Okoje
Your Lordship thanks for this wonderful piece of caution.Religiosity is Nigerian's understanding of faith not piety. Most Christians and their Muslim Brothers are so religious that they have become intellectually handicapped.
This religious fundamentalism is the major cause of their mental laziness. Nigeria is now a society of people who pray when they expected to be working. They then wish that miracle would get the job done. Osun state has therefore remained poor in the midst of plenty unhanessed resources.
