Singer 9ice has questioned the impact of religion and constant prayers on Nigeria’s progress
Speaking at an event, the artist argued that despite years of religious devotion by citizens, the country has not seen meaningful improvement in key areas. He expressed concern over the heavy reliance on prayer while, in his view, practical solutions are often ignored.
Identifying himself as a heathen, 9ice also criticised Nigerians for embracing foreign religions such as Christianity and Islam, suggesting that the focus on them has not translated into national development. He pointed to countries like United Kingdom as examples, claiming they are less religious yet more advanced.
“You will leave Nigeria and go to Mecca to go and lick rock all in the name of Kabba. Ever since you have been calling on Allah and Jesus, this country hasn’t gotten any better. If you go to London, nobody goes to church there yet they are better than Nigeria.
They go to work on Sundays but Nigerians go to church. A lot of Nigerians spend most their time in church in the name of weekly services. They pray over everything, including things to should fix themselves,” he lamented.
