For
a while now, some churches have gone overboard by tagging their programmes with
funny themes. Not only are the themes inappropriate, they are coined from a
typical Nigerian mindset. Some of the themes for these programmes are placed on
billboards. You would notice them when travelling from one state to the other.
The themes are hilarious, so be ready to end up laughing tears. Check out some
of the most rediculous posters below:
1. When the program is preaching wealth
and prosperity
Church theme aimed at prosperity |
The program could have been given a suitable theme
other than this. Everyone wants to be rich; this poster would attract so many
people.
2. When the program is about moving one from a phase of life
A church theme aimed at transitioning |
It is normal for one to aspire for change
and possibly move from one position in life to a higher one. It is ridiculous
projecting the theme to the society in this manner but then, things like these
are needed to spice up the day
.3. When the program is about the devil
Church poster focused on the devil |
In Christianity, there is the good and the bad just
like in every other religion. These churches need not add profanity to their
ministries by coming up with this theme.
4. When the program is aimed at the
villagers
Church poster propelling villagers to storm Lagos |
Going to a city like Lagos is a big
deal to most people in the villages. People who live in Lagos are eyed with
envy; a program with a theme like this would have the whole village involved.
Church posters like this put people like that into consideration.
5.
When the program wants to address marriage

A church poster with a theme for singles |
Marriage
is a pressing issue for most people in the society. Some ladies get bothered
when they are of age and not yet in it. A theme like this would definitely have
the church premises swooning with single ladies and perhaps, their concerned
mothers.
6. When the program wants people to be vengeful
In Christianity, pastors often
preach forgiveness but it gets to a stage people feel they have endured enough scorn
and hardship and want to take on the battle themselves. Check out the church
poster.
Church poster that depicts a typical Nigerian’s frustration |
A poster with a theme like
this would not only make you laugh hard, it also speaks volume about the
mindset of a frustrated Nigerian. It is aimed at confronting the enemy,
approaching the issue and consequently opening a dialog with the concerned
persons. It would be more than hilarious to see the response of the enemy.
8. When the program
is about acquiring properties
Church
theme targeted at owning a car
|
A program like this confronts the helplessness
of a Nigerian who has been trying to acquire properties like cars and other
things. The church poster aims at those who feel they are under the influence
of someone or a group of persons.
9. When the program is about witches
A church theme addressing witches |
In Nigeria and other parts of the world, some
people believe their progress is being inhibited by witches. A church theme
like this aims at battling the witches and regaining one’s freedom.
10. When
the program is aimed at questioning God
A church theme questioning |
God Frustration they say make people do things they
ought not to do. The theme of this program is a regular phrase for most
Nigerians. Times when they get disappointed with the government or with the
basic utilities in the country, Nigerians utter words like this.
