During a recent live session, the streame said that certain religious leaders may form close bonds with congregants only to later ask for money to cover personal expenses.
Carter Efe explained that this is part of why he avoids attending church.
“Pastor go dey show you love dey call you for afternoon and evening. Before you know pastor go dey tell you say ‘can you give me money for fuel?’ before you know pastor go tell you say ‘i want to cook beans, I need oil’. Before you know pastor go dey collect money for your hand na why I dey fear. Na why I no dey go church. I dey fear all this pastors, if them turn you to friend, them go just dey collect money for your hand,” he said.
His remarks have sparked debate online, with some people agreeing with his view and others criticizing him for generalizing all pastors.
