(ANALYSIS) What is Responsible for "Money Ritual" Craze Among Nigerian Youths 

God bless you bro 😢

The government is not at fault for the low-trust society you live in. That's the fault of the people.

Technology is nothing but means to an end. Nothing more than a tool. In the hands of a low-trust society, these tools only enable high-tech crimes.

You right, but I disagree with from the parent aspects, if Govt put structures in place for the parents to thrive, I mean making a good living, every parents will take good care of his or her own child and he or she will be responsible citizens to his country.

Then stop having kids !!!

Is Church your problem? How many hours does people spend in church on weekly basis, where do you place family, home where individuals grow up, spent hours/days of his/her years with their parents who should imprint value into their children mind failed in that regard. Is it not a saying that charity begin at home? Does it says begin at church? Everyone are critical of the church today, why? The devil is instigating the free thinkers against the institution of God, which attracts great consequence. What about other religions, the fetish priest who asked people looking for quick money to bring human parts, no one is attacking them or criticising them, but only church are your headache. Bible, the word of God warned people to beware of false prophets/pastors, that they will pretend to be servant of God, but by their characters you will know them, therefore you should equipped yourself with the knowledge of the word of God in order to be able to identify them. (Matthew 7:13 - 23) Some people doesn't want to go through the narrow way to success, no matter the truth they are thought, which is hard work and good planing, they want the wide way to success, which is do just anything to make money which includes; stealing, kidnapping, frauds, ritual, killing for ritual, deception, robbery, hired killers etc. All this God forbid them in the bible. So if you know them and believe in them you won't follow any so-called pastor/prophet that encourages such. How many of you want to hear sounds teaching of the world's of God now a day's, is ear 👂 not itching you to true preachers by saying all of them are liars? My people perished due to lack of Knowledge, because they refused knowledge. (Hosea 4:6) Church are not the today's rotten problems in society, but are parental caused. The Bible says to parents; Teach your child the right way to live, when they grow they won't change from such good ways of life..

@@normal_side Another pastor agent. You should hold your lips by saying such. I believe you saw how a popular pastor in Port-Harcourt disgraced himself. Yes it good to preach against the act of rituals. What about those Churches politicians attend, and they are welcomed and given a front seat in the church ⛪️ simply because this soul called pastors you are an agent to, are benefiting from our looted money? That Port-Hacourt pastor didn't lay course on those set of politicians who loot and bring money meant for the public to church. Yes Churches are my problem, most of those pastors you and I know Angel didn't flash them not to talk of God calling them. Both the pastors and their agent who are online fighting for them instead of analyzing the fact and not being biased are all thieves. Criminals.

@@gbengalala2064 You are ignorant, if this is your mind set. Let church and pastors remains your headache, you are an agent of devil against the church, the politicians you elected or failed to elect who stole your money and take to overseas to hide and seek witch doctor's help with the money, the devil 😈 blindfold your eyes against them, you are celebrating them in the society, it is only about pastors and church you grow muscle like Tyson, continue one day you will face the owner of the church, God himself. We must criticize those who do wrong things in the society, a thief must be address as such, the fact someone stole in a family does not mean that the entire family are thieves. Is Church only the religion houses people visiting, why all the bitterness against God house? Be warned against the anger of God, you are treading on a dangerous part. People like celebrated Ibori upon returned from UK prison, you see nothing wrong in what he did, but church is your problem, continue.

@@normal_side No you are because your statement made us understand. You and I know most of this pastor's are thieves. Agree on that. But for not identifying the main cause on why people are into rituals is very pathetic. If you think the Churches who preaches prosperity at all time are doing the right thing, then your conscience is biased. If you think the Churches who accept or welcome politicians who have stolen public funds meant to build standard refineries to create employment so it citizens can work and get paid to feed themselves into their churches just for personal profit are doing the right thing then you are getting it wrong. You are speaking like an insider in the Church, but I don't care because I speak the truth. Where are you when pastor's are now doing competition on who is the richest, who lives in the best house worth 700 million naira, have private jets, but majority of it members are suffering. Are you in support of a pastor laying curses on yahoo boys who got no job after graduation, but never lay curses on politicians simply because if he do, he won't get those huge tithes or this politicians might come after him and even close his church since government has power. Or are you not aware that so many graduates, I mean master degree holders are doing yahoo? The government has frustrated them. Do you know how many millions of Nigerians are jobless? Please if you don't know what to say, just relax. We know all this and solving the problem of Nigeria is very easy, but the rulers are not ready. First they must end insecurity, with the way it going, it now shows some politicians have hands in the insecurity of our nation, they might be doing it for greedy reasons because Nigeria politicians are very greedy. After insecurity, they should think of stabilizing the economy so that someone like me can afford food to eat, not you because you are enjoying church money. If only you understand what hunger can cause. Then the government must go into industrialization to create massive employment, like the textile industries that 90% of it has been shutdown and not functioning. They must tackle electricity which is the drive force of any country or nation that wish to develop. But you and I know it same politicians that steal our looted money to give to churches are the ones also responsible in shipping in generator and controlling the whole system to their own favor so we won't have 24 hours electricity, because they themselves have the looted money to buy diesel in their Mikano generator. They should visit the healthcare, educational sector, road infrastructure. Pay salaries and not 30 thousand naira while a senator is earning 30-34 Million naira. With this you should know the country is not okay. If they can't do this they should forget about curbing the menace of ritual killings and yahoo. A hungry man without a job is an angry. You are opportuned doesn't mean millions are. You are eating what you wish or desire to eat 3 or more times a day and not what is available for you to eat, doesn't mean millions can afford a square meal a day.

@@normal_side You are speaking like a child. How many pastors are genuine? They should go and sit-down. Haven't you seen a church where they buried humans just to gain members? I know so many things about churches and you can't lecture me on what I know. I was with a pastor on day and he was discussing with a fellow pastor to go rent people who always act as if they are paralyzed just to deceive members that he has performed a miracle. Is it that one you are protecting to be a house of God? Religion has really finished Nigeria. Too bad. How many Muslim cleric have you seen or heard in laying curses on some set of individuals? But didn't you hear what your fellow colleague Pastor David Ibiyome did inside his parlor? And members are shouting Amen! What a shame, what a pity how people see pastors to be their God. I am asking you now, that statement he made is it what they are thought is pastoral school when the same nation is at it worst state? I know your kind of person. Na una dey carry church for head without seeing the truth. I won't argue with you anymore.

Very good IPOB Man

Government total failure and the countries hopelessness is reason kids are desperate to do anything to survive including risking their lives through high sea to go abroad. Nigeria has highest numbers of unemployed youths in the whole world and Nigeria has highest poverty rate in the world yet Nigeria politicians are the highest paid in the world and Nigeria pastors are the richest in the world. Sometimes didn't add up well. When there is hopelessness people does anything to survive. Let Government sit up.

There is zero excuses for killing for money, I would rather kill myself than someone else..... also, stop breeding like rabbits

What is happening is Satanic.... they are sacrificing to thr devil..... the country is becoming demonic

You are well informed. It has become a pandemic.

Hehehehe! So, blaming Nigeria and her people is the excuse for the ineptitude of other governments...wow!!!

I didn't know Nigeria was so powerful in shaping the world

@@NymaMargaret 🤣

So Nigeria is the one influencing carribians , AAs u are not ok

You have all spoken well, but you do not see recreation as important to the social, and moral development of youths. The Church you now accuse, is the saving grace of our society today, because it is both a recreational, and a moral building center. No pastor has asked anyone to go into rituals, but have preached faith, and encouraged the breaking spirit, to salvage them of the mayhem brought upon the society by bad governance, poor developmental strategies, misappropriation of funds, and misplaced priorities. What is the Nigerian value for recreation, sports. Where are the government facilities or infrastructure put in place, early enough, decades back, all these should have been setup for society, so you don't come here, to start sabotaging your faith, and not even pinpoint on the long-term failure of governance. These kids are poorly engaged. They could have been professionals already in various sports, decent morals would have been instilled in them ....shame on the Nigerian governing system!!

Yes I true vote for the the white

Killing others is a symptoms???? Are you dumb?!?!? It's basically taking a life for money. You are mad for ever saying this, shame on you.

@@samuraisings5105 can't you see he's a money ritualist.

You are right

The church is also among

@@The_clipp the church is not the problem

All I see on RU-vid with Naija movies is billionaire pretending not to be one. Money money money is the new God.

Nollywood is not the problem The main issue here is NEPA When you watch nollywood ritual boys movies. They show 4 stages 1. The initiation 2. The enjoyment flexing stage 3. The Everything starts crashing stage 4. The unhappy ending (Death or madness) in all these movies, directors make sure to show the rise and unfortunate end of those ritual boys If you are watching film and Nepa will not allow us to see the unfourtnare end of this movie. They just take light during the enjoyment phase of movie. Leaving this boys with the idea that ritual is enjoyment. If NEPA can give us light 24/7 then youths will be able to watch the movies till the end and see the unhappy ending that befalls anyone that want to venture into rituals

Why ?

Capital punishment doesn't work, hasn't worked and will never work....we have to tackle our problems with well articulated solutions. This is a case of our decaying morals, we have to build good moral institutions to start correcting this issues. Applying your methods, is as saying kill 50% of all Nigerians so as to solve the problem. And I will tell you, of the rest 50%, 10% will still have the tendency to commit and the circle starts all over again.

Sooo...by your logic, these monsters are somehow not responsible for these horrible acts? What an assbackwards people and country.

But without money bro,there love wont sweet,Care wont also sweet too and the dignity wont be there

Well sadly many people don't receive love, care and dignity. So they seek stability in other ways such as money. It's a cruel imbalanced world that we are all responsible for.

Talk is cheap. Tell them to get up and go do something about it. Daily vla vla vla. What is a new discussion here??

That is very true and it is a shame that our culture encourages that. Lack of Education is the bane of our existence in Africa. No truly educated person can believe you need to do rituals to win an election. So put it this way. We all go to our ritualist and ask to win the election. We all kill one person to win the same election.Who is going to win then? The man with the stronger herbalist? What ends up happening is the man who wins is almost always the man with the stronger political party or the best grass root support. We pray to God for money and in this we forget who God is! The father of all! An impartial God who has opened the door for us all and the only thing that limits us is our inadequacies. Act 10:34

Big 👁️👁️👁️👁️ without God fearing 🙏

Then it has been bad parenting for 400 years because the Aro Confederacy stated that slavery was a blessing because it made them rich. They didn't care about the communities and people that they destroyed or the rapes and deaths that they caused. They only cared about their wealth.

South south is then in nigeria

They are the Devil's they flirting money because they want souls to keep their rituals going

Very true. How can a person have billions in Nigeria?? How ?? Pastors taking and the people giving to pastors. When the are having amount of private jets did they force the people to fund them?? We are all responsible.

I support.

Almost all countries does the same. There are sticker laws and serious consequences.

That’s not the way my brother let’s not separate and isolate let’s make what we have now better and unite I my not fully understand what or where ur point is coming from as I’m not a Nigerian but let’s unite get bigger and better

@@Hippobottomless Since you are not from the Nigerian region, you're not qualified to ask us not to separate. We were three different nations to begin with, before we were forcefully bounded together by the British colonialism. We are correcting the mistakes of the past, that has made us stagnant in every aspect of modern living standard, so we're now going to where we were from the beginning, our own separate nations, when we were stronger and prosperous.

@@joevincente3004 just coz I’m not from there doesn’t mean I can’t state my opinion but do as u wish my brother god bless

Well you opinion is not bad however not totally correct. Are you also aware that we have many Nigerians who are Muslims involved in this act, why didn't you tag Islam ?🙄🙄🙄

What is the meaning of prosperity? Please research this before you comment.

I still stand on my opinion about the whole mess generated by prosperity messages.. I have worked in some churches when l was in Nigeria and l know for sure what am talking about. It is a crazy world out there .

I am sure you are one of the bad eggs we have in that country, and l can clearly see how indecent you are..Using abusive words on a forum like this is not ok. I am done with you

Judgement start in the house of God, one thing is sure the likes of you either you own a church or a church boy stealing heavily from the church, the word of God stands sure, His judgement will come speedily on all the people whether Muslim or christian contributing to the bad standards in that country in no time soon.

It is the culture. Nigerian culture respects money and not integrity.

And not the person??

You think Nigerians live in huts as white man told you? Oh, I can see you are Igbo man unless you were born in the USA and didn't understand the current situation in Nigeria now. The problem is that the gap between rich and poor are too wide but off course there are many rich people in Nigeria with beautiful houses for such movies.

They utilize those rituals too. That's the case with past leaders in my country. We all know of their crimes but they're roaming free. How? I say they're protected by those evil spirits and powers. We need to pray that God break down those strongholds.

We are responsible for our actions.

Psychologically the way the some pastors preach... Affect the way some people think of wealth

@@The_clipp that is not an excuse. Those ritualist are just greedy. When the church preached against sexual immorality why didn't it reduce?
