Seun Kuti stated:

"If you're closing your eyes and imagining that your God is a white man on white hair, white beards with white robe, you're lost.

"Genesis 7 to 14 has already made it clear that African people will never enter heaven.

"Only 12,000 people from the 12 tribes of Judah will enter heaven. Meaning, it's only 144,000 people that will enter the real heaven, and the rest of you will go there to serve in the temple. So sl@very has already been secured for you again," he said.
