Skales blasts Nigerian pastors

Legit.ng earlier reported that Skales spoke against Nigerian pastors, criticising the way they deliver sermons.

In a heated post on X, he expressed frustration over how many pastors prioritise preaching about "money-doubling" schemes instead of teaching the true messages of the Bible.

According to him, these religious leaders are more focused on brainwashing their congregations for financial gain rather than providing genuine spiritual guidance.
