Carter Efe Explains Why He Stopped Attending Church Over Fear Of Money-Seeking Pastors
Carter Efe has stirred debate online after explaining why he no longer attends church.
In a video shared on social media, the skit maker said he is wary of certain pastors, accusing them of forming personal bonds with church members only to later demand financial assistance.
He claimed that some clergy members gradually begin to request money or household items once they become friendly with congregants, suggesting that their intentions are not always spiritual.
He said: “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…”
The remarks have sparked divided opinions across social media platforms. While some users supported his stance, arguing that a number of pastors focus more on financial gains than spiritual guidance, others faulted him for painting all religious leaders with the same brush.
