Daddy Freeze, a prominent figure in the media, has asserted that religion is impeding Nigeria’s progress.
In an interview with The Honest Bunch Podcast, Freeze asserted that Nigeria falls short in important development metrics even though it is regarded as one of the most religious nations.
He cited Japan as an example of a nation with a high quality of life in spite of its predominantly secular culture.
“How is religion working for us?” he asked.
“My problem with religion is – it has no results. Where is the prosperity? Where is the love? You say God loves us because we are religious, so how come the Japanese are the ones enjoying their own heaven on earth? They are developed.
“We don’t have anything, but we have this ‘God that favours us.’ However, when we truly list the things that we say favour is – prosperity, health… Did you know Nigeria has the shortest life expectancy in the world, according to the 2026 statistics -54 years?
“We pay more tithes than taxes in this country”, Daddy Freeze expressed.
