Gospel singer and worship leader Victoria Orenze has sparked widespread reactions after openly voicing her frustration with some ministers and Christians she believes are misusing God’s name for personal benefit.
In a strongly worded statement, she said she was disappointed in certain church leaders and worshippers who, according to her, exploit religion for profit.
“Honestly, I am disappointed in some ministers, church goers, who just use the name of the Lord for profit!” she said.
Orenze also criticised those who judge government performance based on personal gains rather than the welfare of the majority. She questioned claims that the government is functioning well, insisting that many Nigerians are still suffering under poor leadership.
“Which government is working? Nigerian government, politicians and leaders have failed Nigeria and Nigerians. Period,” she stated.
She further accused some individuals of speaking on behalf of God while ignoring injustice and wrongdoing, arguing that their opinions are often driven by self-interest rather than concern for the people.
