Nigeria: So Religious, Yet So Poor (2), By Wole Olaoye Religion is not necessarily the problem but the manner it is being weaponised. ADVERTISEMENT Part of the problem is that we glorify inanities. Society no longer celebrates churches, Islamic movements and religious leaders who make selfless contributions and tangible differences. Rather, we idolise glamour, drama and profanity. The pastor, Imam, or Sheik becomes the centre of veneration, not God. In the first part of this topic, we made the point that, “Religion is not the problem. The use to which religion is put is the issue.”  But it has not always been like that especially when the issue is considered from the perspective of local influencers. What this means is that we have degenerated. Like everything else, the blight that defaced our country and made it unrecognisable from the prosperous forward-looking nation that secured independence from Britain in 1960 is still very much in play.
