If you are a Nigerian, maybe you can agree on some of my inferences from their data points (that is debatable, anyway :slightly_smiling:)

OP, this below, quoted from your post;

According to their report, the bible verse that is most popular in Nigeria is Jeremiah 29:11. Nigeria shares this same verse with Philippines and South Africa as their favourites.

What this easily reminded me is that many Nigerians are expecting too much from God. Often laid back; they expect God to do everything for them. (Replace “God” with parents, uncle, government or others and see how it applies to someone you probably know).

…is terribly ignorant.

It’s a bible verse, popularly given away during graduation as framed prints by parents and well-wishers. If you must draw connections, the least you can do is make it tasteful.

You reach a lot with your posts. Not your best side.

Instead of being instructive with your posts, while feigning a lot of mastery on your topics, try fact blogging, and sensational side taking, alot easier to write, and digest!

Am blushing with the complement, bro.

Sentiments asides, there is no intended “diss” to Nigerians in this post. In fact, This was one of the hardest parts of the article for me to write. (*think of 5 drafts just to frame it not to be offensive)

As an afterthought, another explanation for this is that KJV is obviously the most popular translation of the bible in Nigeria.

…but SOMEHOW we both know there is some truth in the claim as far as some Nigerians are concern. Which is why most African nations were termed as collecting aids to survive.

Am proud that you are one of the new generation of people changing this perception about Nigeria.

That is why i expressly stated in the post that my conclusions from the YouVersion data were mine and are open to debate

Any way I can be of help?
