ABSTRACT
This study analysed University of Uyo students’ perception of religious advertisements on billboards in Uyo. The research technique employed was the survey method. A sample of 370 respondents were drawn from six clusters which represented six faculties of the university of Uyo. The cluster and simple random sampling methods were employed. Results show that students do not say religious ads should continue as they are not satisfied with it and their messages. Findings also show that students perceive religious ads as a misplaced priority because they feel religious institutions should not be focused on advertising, students are not influenced in their choice of church followership by those ads but by greater motivating factors such as invitation, testimonies and experiences by fellow students and instead see churches as money-making ventures through these ads. Consequently, it was recommended that religious institutions should focus more on their original purpose as was intended by Christ which is to fish people unto salvation and on the promotion of goodness and morality in the society, through advertising and other means and not on advertising abilities and what they can offer.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Religion, despite the ups and downs that make up its history, remains decisive in the world. In Nigeria, religion is not just decisive, it decides things that become decisive, every single facet of the normality and abnormality of the country has religious patches all over it.
Nigeria is a country with high poverty rate, with over 70% of the population living on less than N800 a day. This is an adequate reason for majority of the population to look to divine quarters for solutions to their problems.
Religion is defined as a “cultural system of behaviour and practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places, ethics and societal organization that relates humanity to an order of existence” (Wikipedia 2016). Regarding the relationship between religion and advertising, Colson and Pearcey (1998) claim “The people who developed the art of modern advertising in the early part of this (20th) century were largely Christians, often sons of clergymen, who imported the methodology of religious revivalism into the commercial arena”.
Cooperman (2004) maintains “organized religion is becoming a commodity, we package ourselves carefully for new buyers, emphasizing the selling point that will meet their market researched needs”.
