What happens when faith switches from salvation to prestige, and sanctuaries evolve into corporate empires? In From Crusade to Conglomerate: The Unholy Alliance of Religion and Riches in Nigeria, Charles Olusegun Doherty presents a fearless analysis of how Nigeria's religious institutions-once society's moral guardians-have gotten profoundly involved in the chase of wealth, power, and political patronage. From the arrival of missionaries to the establishment of mega-ministries and televangelist empires, this book explores how religion transformed into a multi-billion-naira industry. It unpacks the commerce of faith, spiritual consumerism, sanctified cronyism, and the marketing of hope, exposing hard facts many shun. But beyond critique, this is a bold cry for national thought and moral recovery-a vision of religion as a force for justice, compassion, and ethical leadership. If you've ever questioned the billionaire churches or hushed pulpits, this book is your answer.
