‘The More Nigeria Spoils, The More Money Religious Leaders Make’ – Spyro

Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Oludipe Davido, better known as Spyro, has claimed that religious leaders are benefiting the most from the insecurity and economic hardship in Nigeria.

Naija News reports that the ‘Who’s Your Guy’ crooner made the claim during a recent interview with Wozabia FM Lagos, alleging that religious leaders make more money while the country is deteriorating.

According to him, most religious leaders are not speaking up against insecurity as they ought, stressing that they are duty-bound to speak for the well-being of their congregations.

He also berated Nigerian clergymen for failing to give their congregations proper electoral guidance.

Spyro further urged Nigerians to hold political leaders, including clerics, accountable for the situation in the country.

He said, “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.”
