Controversial Big Brother Naija reality star Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, simply known as Doyin, has shared her thoughts on religious programmes, stirring reactions on social media.
Doyin, who has always been candid about her views, stated that she does not believe in religious programmes. She expressed that if such programmes were truly effective, Nigeria would be one of the greatest countries in the world.
“Nigerians spend too much time praying instead of working and being good human beings,” Doyin remarked on her Snapchat page. She was responding to a fan who questioned why she never engages with any of the religious programmes online.
Doyin elaborated: “I get a lot of those hallelujah challenge and what God cannot do doesn’t exist tags. People keep sending them to me but I just don’t believe in that type of stuff so I never join. It’s not bad… I just don’t believe in it.”
In a subsequent post, she criticized the excessive focus on prayer over practical actions. “If it were really by ‘hallelujah challenge’ and ‘what God cannot do’…..Nigeria should be one of the greatest countries by now. We spend too much time praying and shouting hallelujah instead of actually working and being actual good human beings.”
Doyin pointed out the contradiction in people’s behaviors: “They will shout hallelujah finish and go back to cheating the next person they encounter or judging someone because the person presents themselves differently.”
She concluded with a call for balance and personal responsibility: “To me, it’s just a complete waste of time but to each his own. If you believe in it then by all means. At the end of the day, all that should matter is having a good relationship with God and being a good human being. If you like, shout hallelujah from now till next year. If you don’t find ways to improve yourself and provide value…you’ll keep shouting hallelujah in hunger.”
