The Educated Aljari: Christendom

This condition, rooted in colonial legacies and perpetuated by modern prosperity gospel teachings, undermines critical thinking and empowers pastors while impoverishing congregants. To reclaim true faith and freedom, Nigerian Christians must challenge the systems that profit from learned ignorance and embrace courageous, independent interpretation of scripture.
