Towards a Moral Discourse on the Phenomenon of Religious Mimicking in Nigerian Films: An Exegetical Study of II Corinthians 11:13-15.
Nigeria as a nation is notoriously religious. There is hardly anything done without religious coloration. The question begging for answer is whether such deep love for religion is fake or real. The most probable yardstick to answer the question here or there perhaps should be the agreement of the natural roles of religion with the citizens’ moral upliftment. As far as the Nollywood actors are concerned, religion itself might not be fake. Most adherents, particularly the leaders are somewhat less than real. The paper is out to study religious mimicking in some home videos. Since the conclusion in such videos usually end up in expressing the hypocritical tendencies of religious leaders, the paper adopts historical and comparative study of II Corinthians 11:13-15. It concludes that until Paul’s warnings are taken into consideration, religion particularly Christianity will continue to occupy space without much value on the society’s moral standard.
