Has Religion Failed Nigeria?

By Rimamnde Shawulu 

NIGERIA IS intensely religious, yet corruption, insecurity, injustice and public despair remain widespread. Why has the country’s devotion not produced more ethical leadership and responsible citizenship?

▶️ Watch here:

In this revealing episode of Journey of Faith, Rimamnde Shawulu speaks with Barrister Godswill Iyoke, lawyer and social justice advocate, about the relationship between faith, truth, leadership and national renewal.

Iyoke argues that the church should not merely help people seek miracles, prosperity and personal breakthroughs. It should form citizens who can defend justice, reject corruption and build a better society.

The conversation also examines:

• Why religious politicians often govern no differently from others
• The failure of citizens to accept personal responsibility
• Nigeria’s culture of immediate gratification and public plunder
• The role of the judiciary in protecting constitutional democracy
• Why younger Nigerians should not surrender to hopelessness

Has religion failed Nigeria—or have Nigerians failed to live by the values they profess?
