Religious leaders benefiting from Nigeria’s insecurity, hardship – Singer Spyro claims

Afrobeats singer, Spyro has claimed that religious leaders are “benefiting the most” from the insecurity and economic hardship in Nigeria. 

According to him, most religious leaders are not speaking up as the ought to because of the benefits they get from the deplorable state of the country. 

The ‘Who’s Your Guy’ hitmaker who made the claim during a recent interview with Wozabia FM Lagos, insisted that clerics are duty-bound to speak for the wellbeing of their congregations. 

He also chided Nigerian clergymen for not giving their congregations proper electoral orientations. 

“Nigerian religious leaders should speak up against insecurity. They should tell the people on how to secure themselves and include the issue of insecurity in their sermons. They should also give their congregants proper electoral orientations. 

“Unfortunately, they are not doing that because the more the country is spoiling, the more money they make. 

“Anywhere there is a crisis in a country, the people who benefit the most are religious leaders. 

“We should make sure we hold all our leaders, including clerics, accountable,” he stated.
