Jesse Jagz challenges Nigerians to look beyond prayers and focus on actionable steps to improve infrastructure and education.
Jesse Jagz, the singer and rapper, has encouraged Nigerians to reevaluate their perspective on religion.
Jagz claimed that the deities of African traditional religions are inebriated due to the alcohol offered by priests during rituals.
He believes that this is why they struggle with obesity, diabetes, and a sense of helplessness towards those who admire them.
On the ‘Big Talk’ podcast, the rapper mentioned that it’s misguided for followers of foreign religions to rely solely on prayer and expect miracles without putting in any effort.
He stressed that prayers cannot supply essential social services.
When you visit a shrine and observe the priest offering gin to the gods, consider researching how much a bottle of gin was worth during the era of slavery—equivalent to 40 slaves.
Our deities indulge excessively in alcohol and meat, leading to obesity and diabetes.
“They are unable to assist us with anything. Prayers do not construct roads or purchase books for children. We have lost touch with our humanity,” he remarked.
