Renowned media personality Reno Omokri has launched a critique aimed at Africans who, upon venturing abroad, distance themselves from religious practices.
Omokri boldly revealed that many devout followers of religion in Africa tend to be those grappling with poverty and hardship.
Reno Omokri in his post questioned the authenticity of religious practices on the continent, suggesting it might be more of a poverty-induced delusion and fear-based phobia than genuine spirituality.
According to him, when Africans relocate to countries like Canada or America, where economic opportunities abound, individuals often discard their religious affiliations with financial stability.
Omokri also expressed that this shift occurs because the religious foundation was never genuine, revealing that spirituality is important not just being religious.
Omokri argued that only a minority approach their faith without ulterior motives, suggesting that many turn to God with specific agendas. He expressed how rare it was for individuals who seek God diligently to express gratitude for the gift of life, rather than for personal gain.
The media personality challenged the notion that practicing religion must yield financial rewards, revealing that spiritual gains, such as self-control, contentment, and humility, should be the true focus.
“I do not know if you can still call the type of supposed Christianity we practice in Sub-Saharan Africa a religion. It is more like po erty-induced delusion and far-based ph bia. And this is why many Black Africans lose their religion after a few months in Canada or America.
Because it was never real, and the system provides us with what we expected God to provide us. Relocation often reveals that our religion was just a reaction to our environment and situation.”
