CHRISTIANITY
A BONE OF CONTENTION IN NIGERIA
Keywords:
Christianity, Religion, NigeriaAbstract
Nigeria has not yet attained a republic of its own. It will have a republic when it has a church of its own which controls the country. What we are doing is to worship in churches which are imported from Rome and America. I have not seen a church which comes from Nigeria. You shall have attained a republic when you embrace or have a church which comes from Nigeria . . . Africa and indeed Nigeria is not yet liberated because they are still attached to the apron strings of America, Roman (sic) and England.
