Singer and rapper, Jesse Jagz has generated a discussion over religion’s role in Nigerian society.
He recently discussed his opinions on the indigenous religious beliefs of Africa and the effects of foreign religions on the community on the “Big Talk” podcast.
Jesse Jagz emphasised the distinction between the two belief systems, pointing out that traditional African religious gods are frequently connected to excessive drinking and meat sacrifices.
He claims that this explains their obesity, diabetes, and helplessness towards their worshippers.
He also emphasized the importance of action alongside prayer, stressing that solely relying on miracles without effort is not enough, as prayers alone do not provide essential services like building roads or providing education.
He said:
“When you go to a shrine and you see the priest pouring gin on the gods, Google how much a bottle of gin was in slavery. 40 slaves.
“Our gods are drunk on alcohol and meat. They are obese and diabetic.
“They can’t help us do anything. Prayers do not build roads or buy books for children. We have forgotten humanity“.
