Spyro Says Religious Leaders Profit from Nigeria’s Insecurity and Economic Woes
Spyro, the Nigerian Afrobeats artist born Oludipe Davido, alleges that religious leaders are gaining the most from the nation’s rising insecurity and economic distress.
He argues that many clerics are staying silent on the security crisis, despite their responsibility to protect and inform their followers.
The singer also criticized clergy for neglecting to provide their congregations with sound electoral advice.
Spyro urged citizens to demand accountability from both political and religious leaders for the current state of affairs.
He stated that religious leaders ought to condemn insecurity, educate followers on personal safety, and incorporate security topics into their sermons, while also offering proper electoral guidance.
He lamented that they are not doing so, noting that as the country deteriorates, their financial gains increase.
He added that in any nation facing crisis, religious figures often reap the greatest benefits.
He concluded by calling for Nigerians to ensure that all leaders, clerics included, are held to account.
