SINGER 9ICE SPARKS REACTIONS AFTER CRITICISING RELIGIOUS CULTURE IN NIGERIA Nigerian music star 9ice has triggered widespread reactions online after sharing his blunt views on religion and its impact on productivity in Nigeria. In a viral video circulating across social media platforms, the singer questioned the country’s deep religious culture, suggesting that excessive religious activities may be slowing down productivity and national development. Speaking openly, 9ice expressed frustration over what he described as a pattern of prioritising religious devotion over meaningful work. He argued that despite the strong emphasis on faith, the nation has not experienced the level of progress many would expect. He also referenced religious practices such as pilgrimages, pointing out that people often travel abroad in the name of faith while neglecting growth and development at home. According to him, despite constant prayers and religious expressions, the country continues to struggle. Highlighting Nigeria’s rich natural resources, the singer lamented that the nation still lags behind. He noted that the country possesses valuable assets like crude oil and other resources, yet has not translated them into significant progress. Drawing a comparison with life abroad, 9ice used London as an example, emphasizing differences in work culture. He pointed out that people there tend to focus more on their jobs, unlike in Nigeria where multiple religious activities fill up the week. He concluded by questioning how individuals can remain productive when much of their time is spent attending church programs, midweek services, and vigils, instead of focusing on work and personal development. The comments have since sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing with his perspective while others strongly disagree, defending the role of religion in society.
