Nigerian content creator Carter Efe has disclosed why he no longer attends church, citing distrust of some pastors and their financial demands.
In a recent video, Efe said he became uncomfortable with what he described as a pattern in which certain clerics build close relationships with congregants before making personal monetary requests.
He cited instances where pastors allegedly asked members for fuel money or financial support for groceries.
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. I dey fear all this pastors, if them turn you to friend, them go just dey collect money for your hand…”
While some have praised Efe for speaking out, others have accused him of unfairly stereotyping pastors.
