Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, has said that people do not have to serve or worship God to become wealthy.
Daddy Freeze made the statement during an Instagram Live session on Wednesday night while reacting to TikToker Peller’s remarks at Pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s church in the UK.
Peller had reportedly said that while others were praying at night, he was sleeping at home, yet God chose to bless him.
Reacting to the comment, Daddy Freeze said wealth does not necessarily depend on a person’s religious beliefs.
While noting that people don’t have to acknowledge God to be rich, he questioned why many committed Christians remain among the poorest.
He said, “When you try to connect worshipping God to possession, you take for granted the sacrifice of the biblical Stephen, when you believe that if you pray to God, He gives you money.
“It’s the stupidity of our parents. They prayed to God but did they have money? As long as you attribute money to God, you will remain poor and broke. God doesn’t give people money. If he did, the top 10 richest people in the world would have been born again Christians.”
While arguing that money comes from creating value, he added, “You can wake up everyday and say, I hate God, I hate God, I hate God, and still be rich. You don’t need to even acknowledge that God exists to be rich.”
