How I lost my religion (as a Nigerian)

Image
A Nigerian and religion are like a Siamese twin, one inseparable from the other. In a country of over 200+ million citizens, more than 95% identify as members of one religious group or the other. Most religion inclusive of the ones practiced by Nigerians preach the tenets of brotherly love, truth, justice, godliness, and general humanity to one another.
