Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has asserted that politics and the church in Nigeria need to be dismantled.

According to reports, the former Anambra State Governor shared this view in a snippet from the Honest Bunch Podcast with media personality Nedu.

According to Peter Obi, politics and church are attractive but have to be dismantled, and night vigil should be turned into the night shift so that people can be productive.


Peter Obi
He said, “It’s attractive, politics and church, but it has to be dismantled.

“We are going to turn night vigil into night shift so that people can be productive.

“I go to church and believe in God but we can’t have it that people Monday to Friday, be in church morning and night.

“If I go from here to my house, the only sign boards you see are those of churches.

If you go to the East, it’s burials and that’s not a country.”

This religion bigot is a hypocrite

Even tho obi dey craze

But this your title is misleading...

YES DADDY.....lol

I hope pastors eg oyedepo will him on this and let him use there church for campaigns again in 2027.

I don't think Obi will say something like this.

But I believe Church needs to go, especially these Nigerian churches that is more interested in money than preaching salvation

He didn't say that because he didn't do it as a governor

he was never my messiah, I am not obidient either. Stop masturbating on my post.

I just said I don't think a christian politician who campaigned in churches will say this

See headline!

This one that turned the pulpit to a political campaign podium ?

Peter Obi is a very rare breed of liar.

He can't even keep up with his stinking hypocrisy.

Then you don't know how much of a bigger hypocrite Obi is.

We already know that church and politics is a bad tango, in fact any religion that is a state religion is a recipe for worst kind of holocaust.

Look at the middle-east today and you can get your answer instantly, also look back at the middle ages and see what atrocities the roman-catholic church committed with state powers!

Now I am a christian and follower of Jesus Christ but interestingly, He (Jesus) was the most anti-religious person while he was on earth!

People have totally confused being a Christian (Christ-like) with being part of a religious organization either in a certain sect, creed or movement, most are actuality socio-economic gatherings.

The real Church are the small groups of faithful believers, where there is no apparent hierarchical structures, any kind of gain either money, material or otherwise but for the good of all,
and they mostly meet in houses as exemplified by the early churches in the new testament!

AntiZikist:

well, I know very few about him, but he has always shown that he likes the church and he uses them as campaign grounds.

If he says church should go, then he is not just hypocrite, he is foolish.

Tetrahedron:

And he was in churches campaigning for vote.

Like did he just realize churches and politics is a bad tango??

Imagine him wanting to dictate to churches how they should operate .

No be see finish be dat?

I don't blame him.

It's the useless Churches that allowed him to use their church gatherings for political campaigns all in a bid to achieve their own Adeboye racket with the APC.

Strictly dealing with the message and disregarding the messenger, who I despise, I agree with Obi.

If Nigerians Pastors are decent and progressive human being, rather than tithe and private jet-loving con artists, they would be encouraging Nigerians to look inwards in trying to solve their problems rather than cajoling them to believe they must always seek divine intervention and be in church always.

Of course they will never deliver such messages because promising their prayers will deliver miracles for Nigerians is very profitable.

Meanwhile Nations not even 5% as religious as Nigeria have left us far behind because they view religion correctly as the establishment of a relationship between you and your God. They therefore still primarily believe man has the capacity to solve his own problems. To that end, they keep working to provide human solutions for human problems as much as possible.

Different to Nigerians who view religion the solution to every problem an individual has and would therefore seek a Pastor's 'miraculous' intervention ten times out of ten over their challenges.

One thing Nigerians should bear in mind, regarding Christianity in our nation, is the way covid 19 exposed our version of Christian worship as fake.

Churches worldwide were looking for ways to be charitable and ive of their flock during lockdown.

Nigerian pastors were encouraging their flock to pay tithe via bank transfer since they could not attend church to do so physically.

It's a big shame that some fools read and don't understand

Religion has brainwashed most people in Nigeria.
I don't Obi but he never said truer words here....no nation can progress with only prayer but WORK.

While you are at it , you should include the American Envangelical Church that is the unofficial state religion of the United States.

American Envangelical churches are all state control as there is an existing federal legislation that requires all American churches to follow a Zionist doctrine. Those who don't imbibe the Zionist doctrine are illegible for tax exemption and federal grants.

Do you also know that there is such a thing as a Church Bank in the US that offers zero interests from public funds to setup a church ?

There's no separation of church and state in the US as widely claimed.

Prior to 1954, there was no such thing as a 501(c)(3) church. All donations, contributions, gifts, etc. given to churches were automatically tax‑deductible under the old English common law, known as the "Law of Charities." Then in 1954, Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson (D‑Texas) sponsored legislation which brought churches under the new 501(c)(3) section of the Internal Revenue code.

As a part of this legislation, churches would incorporate, and having that status, they could not be sued in a legal action. This was promoted as a "benefit" to the churches. The churches never bothered to look to the Scriptures and previous law to find out that churches could not be sued. They relied instead on advice from lawyers and the "legal profession" who recommended acceptance of this new "benefit." And why not? Anything involving more "legality" does nothing more than advance the status, importance, need, and employment of this questionable profession. It is a fact, that today most all of the "churches" who have been sued in a court action have been "incorporated churches."

Instead of being a minister of God, serving the Almighty, these preachers have betrayed our Savior and the entire Christian theology, to become instead ministers of the government.

There have been several instances where the US government had stripped the tax‑exempt status from churches and demanded back taxes for violation of this covenant. And those pastors who "claim" that they can go into their pulpits and say anything contrary to the laid down Puritan dictated Zionist doctrine.

It's only in America that the concept of alligning light with darkness first arose with the paradoxical Judeo-Christian so-called values.

The 1954 federal Legislation
501(c)(3) is why America is now so blinded by Zionism.

In reality , the separation of church from State only exists to halt the spread of Christian ideals and values to be spread and taught outside the State sanctioned churches of Zionism.

And this same 501(c)(3) is being exported to the rest of the world especially in third world countries like Nigeria.

Have you wondered how some of Nigeria's controversial preachers suddenly arose from near obscurity to instant fame and wealth? They are being propped up by the same Zionists in the US to spread Zionism across churches in third world countries.

Precisely. You have just identified the problem. Obi is a divisive hypocrite but his message is right. Churches in Nigeria are evil IMO.

They could do so much to change the dynamics for gullible and naive people yet they exploit them instead for financial gains.

When they can offer vocational training to get unskilled Nigerians earning well and sustaining themselves within six months, they'd rather encourage their congregation to keep tithing because " life-changing miracles are on the way".

I hate Nigerian Christianity and pastors with a ion. We are one of the most religious nation on Earth. Arguably the most religious even.

Yet Nigeria is horrendously backwards and the Church plays a role in that with how it is full of "prosperity scammers" rather than being an agent for the spiritual growth of Nigerians.

Same way Nigerians warp and damage everything, we have bastardized religion also.

i dont think this guy knows who he is talkin too....

See my last post on this thread for more.

All these American Envangelical styled churches in Nigeria are an ongoing CIA subversion of the church


All get some form of funding from the US govt and their crooked General Overseers are given free reign to launder their loot thereby creating more future blackmail on them.

Take the likes of so-called Apostle Suliemann and his almost sudden rise to popularity and wealth or that of the rascal in Onistha .

One thing you will notice about all these fake churches is their emphasis on materialism. Materialism is the fundamental creed of Judaism and nothing epitomises the American Judeo-Christian nightmare more than greed and materialism which are the major distractions to true Christian spiritualism


American Envangelical Zionism could not penetrate Europe because even in the midst of growing atheism in Europe, the old Catholic church and later on German Protestant movement rightly demonised and called out the Jew. Even outside the 2,000yr Christian and Jewish rift, Europeans, be they adherent Christians or atheist liberals can never agree to unifying Christianity with Judaism knowing fully well how Jews have committed gross injury to the church and Christians in the past.

It's only in the very isolated and ignorant backward third world countries that this last and final church is getting a very strong foothold.

How can we explain the heavy silence of Nigerian pastors in the ongoing conflict in the ME?

The likes of fake Pastor Reno who has a habit of commenting on issues, has not said a word on the ongoing carnage and genocide being commited by Jews on Christians and Muslims alike in Palestine.

Paid miscreant doing there job

Bill Gates came out several days ago to categorical demand that all religions should be dismantled and a new sibgular religion formed for the entire planet.

This fool who is a WEF and Zionist puppet in the making comes out to start dictating how churches should operate .

Yes Nigeria has been plagued by bad leadership but I tell you today , that if this banza ever gets to power, Nigerians will know the true meaning of slavery.
