Nigerian Man Questions Religious Practices After Priest Dedicates Hotel Built by Native Doctor

A Nigerian man has sparked debate on social media after criticizing what he referred to as a “Christianity scam.” His reaction came after a Catholic priest dedicated a hotel built by a native doctor in his village.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the man expressed his disbelief over the event, which he saw as a contradiction in religious principles. He shared a video capturing the dedication ceremony and voiced his frustration in a post that read:

“A native doctor from my village built a hotel, and a Catholic priest went to dedicate it! This is why Christianity in Nigeria, for me, is a scam.”

The post quickly gained traction, attracting a flood of reactions. Many individuals shared their perspectives in the comment section, debating the intersection of religion, culture, and morality in the context of the event.

The video showcased the priest blessing the hotel, an act that many found surprising given the traditional religious background of the hotel’s builder. The story continues to stir discussions about the coexistence of differing beliefs and practices within Nigerian society.

Reacting to the post:

@balogunfd: “Did you read that Jesus went to dine in with Zarcheous? There is nothing wrong, as long as the priest is able to tell him the truth.”

@MrTeeSaint1: “I want to ask a simple question “Why is that no man or woman from Anam has a standard church known in Nigeria”? Nothing personal I have wondered why for years, they are very rich but not one has a standard church, Abia, imo and Enugu even ebonyi has one too. Just asking shall?”

@kay2flux: “There is something called give to caeser what belongs to caeser and give to God what belongs to God.”

@ugwueze_es57952: “Which type of native Doctor? Is it the one that gives medicinal herbs to sick people.”

@Triggerx09: “It shows he recognises the greater power, it also shows Christianity is for humanity because the native doctor is also human. Christ came for the sinners not tge righteous.”

@LabiaMinoria: “You were never a true Christian tho. Christ whom Christianity was modelled after will never withhold his blessings or decline the invitation to attend this event.”

@1millionjazzy: “Every religion is true, just beware of their loopholes. I have seen a cultural Christian who doesn’t hide it… And things are working well for him.”

@felabayomi: “Christianity does not stop us from doing our African Traditional religion.”
