In a chat with Legit.ng, a Nigerian priest living in Germany spoke on reasons church buildings are being turned into clubhouses, in reaction to Daddy Freeze’s viral video.

“The churches were simply sold. For the ones that were catholic, of course, the blessed sacraments are no longer there. And private buyer has the right to do what he wants to do with the church building.

zeusnation100:

"God bless you sir. I try to say this to people and they think I am crazy.. If the point of being a Christian is being christ like, then all these pastors and church people are far from it. I think it's same people that pkai Jesus thet made him a part of what he spoke against. Simple and short."

eliteswears:

"Colossians 3:22 says, “You who are servants who are owned by someone, obey your owners. Work hard for them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Work for them as you would for the Lord because you honor God.” When we obey the authority figures in our life, we are ultimately serving Christ."

occ_realty:

"My thought process change the day I started listening to you since 2017. Your teachings and view points is understandable. The churches in Nigeria weaponised fear, thereby using it to control our perception of life and the divine."
