Controversial media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has insinuated that religion is undermining the development of Nigeria.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Daddy Freeze claimed that religion doesn’t produce results.
He argued that irreligious countries like Japan are more developed and have better standards of living, adding that Nigeria has the shortest life expectancy in the world despite being one of the most religious countries.
“How is religion working for us?,” he asked.
“My problem with religion is – it has no results. Where is the prosperity? Where is the love? You say God loves us because we are religious so how come the Japanese are the ones enjoying their own heaven on earth? They are developed.
“We don’t have anything but we have this ‘God that favours us.’ However, when we truly list the things what we say favour is – prosperity, health… Did you know Nigeria has the shortest life expectancy in the world according to the 2026 statistics -54 years?
“We pay more tithes than taxes in this country yet our prayers and sacrifices don’t seem to reflect on the condition of our nation,” Daddy Freeze expressed.
