Popular Nigerian singer and rapper Jesse Jagz has stirred reactions online after his comments about the role of religion in Nigerian society.

Speaking on the ‘Big Talk’ podcast, he shared his thoughts on the African traditional religious beliefs and the impact of foreign religions on the community.

Jesse Jagz noted the difference between the two belief systems, pointing out that African traditional religious gods are often associated with excessive alcohol consumption and meat offerings.

According to him, this is why they are obese, diabetic and helpless to their worshipers

He said:

“When you go to a shrine and you see the priest pouring gin on the gods, Google how much a bottle of gin was in slavery. 40 slaves.

Our gods are drunk on alcohol and meat. They are obese and diabetic.

“They can’t help us do anything. Prayers do not build roads or buy books for children. We have forgotten humanity“.
