Having churches everywhere have not resulted into godliness in Nigeria- Cardinal Okogie

October 9,2017
Share:

By Osahon Ibizugbe,

The Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, has said that there is a distinct declining of godliness in Nigeria in spite of the increasing number of churches in the country.

The patriarch of the Lagos Catholics described such branches as “mere business centres,” insisting that there is indeed no sense in planting churches close to each other, when there are no spill over effects of godliness in the land.
According to New Telegraph, the Cardinal noted that the mushrooming of such churches has not elicited commensurate level of godliness across the land. .

His words: “In order to bring us together and to get sanity back into this country, the fear of God must be number one. Nigerians of today don’t care a hoot about God. .

For example, I heard that one of my colleagues, Pastor Adeboye, said that he would love to build churches everywhere so as to make it easy for worshipers to walk to them. .

But for me, that is a useless statement. How can you say you will build churches everywhere? What kind of churches are you talking about? Look at traffic in Lagos for example, and those who are pastors are traders and a good number of them are business men. .

Such churches in most cases are more like business houses! Look at the number of churches springing up in Lagos. If the Muslims start building mosques like that, does it show that Nigeria is a religious country?

Every day we hear of killings and other things that we were not hearing before. Churches must ensure that there is fear of God. They just rent houses and in order to make more money, they license them. .

They pay their dues to the bosses in the churches, every one of them. Some of them can’t pay their own house rents. Yet every Sunday, they gather in the house there and say they are opening churches. One must think twice; and I don’t think that God wants us to serve him with force.”
