Did you know that Nigerian Musician Falz has stopped going to Church?.Dont say a word until you read his reasons!!!
In
a new interview with Silverbird TV, Falz said he values spirituality
over religion and it doesn’t make him less of a Christian.
“I have nothing against the church or going to church,” he said.
Everyone
has the right to practice the religion they desire. It has been a while
that I have been to church. It does not make me less of a Christian.
The
reason is that I went to a few churches and during sermons, I was put
under undue pressure. There was a time that a pastor called me to the
altar just to acknowledge my presence for being in church.
“In my mind, I felt
that the service was not about me. I felt that everybody was there to
worship God, yet they were putting undue pressure on me. The pastor gave
me the microphone to address the congregation and I was puzzled; what
did he expect me to say to the congregation?”
On the
criticisms that greeted the release of the album, Falz said: “My songs
are always going to be heard. The world is a lot smaller now; it only
takes one post and it’s everywhere regardless of the attempts by powers
that be to try to stop stuff here and there.
“If you’re
making this kind of music, you have to always be ready for the worst. Of
course, ‘This is Nigeria’ was banned. We’re still in court. But I have
my fundamental rights so you can’t really stop that regardless of what
body you are.”
