Nigerians ‘too religious,’ Chinese cleric observes

A representative of the International Assembly (IA) of the True Jesus Church in Nigeria, Pastor Hong-Hsiung Ko, has described Nigerians as “too religious a people” who also have respect for their religious leaders.

Pastor Ko stated this at the weekend, after the dedication of Elimgbu Oro-igwe Obio/Akpor church and workers’ ordination by the IA in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

He observed that notwithstanding the plurality of churches and diverse religious beliefs, citizens of the country have so much reverence for God and that manifests in the way they receive and relate with their pastors.

The cleric noted the high level of religious worship in the country. He, however, admonished the citizens to translate their religious worship into ways that would transform the country.
