Nigerian skit maker and singer Carter Efe opens up about his distrust of some pastors, as he explains why he stopped going to church.
In a viral clip, the entertainer suggested that certain religious leaders may build close relationships with members only to later request financial assistance for personal needs.
He stated that such concerns are part of why he avoids attending church.
His comments have generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users agreeing with his perspective while others criticized the generalization of religious leaders.
He said …
“Pastor go dey show you love dey call you for afternoon and evening. Before you know pastor go dey tell you say ‘can you give me money for fuel?’ before you know pastor go tell you say ‘i want to cook beans, I need oil’. Before you know pastor go dey collect money for your hand na why I dey fear. Na why I no dey go church.
