She’s 100% right; our churches used to be a refugee for the poor, for the weak and the troubled. They played a major role in the communities, protecting our moral values and rights. However, money is the order of the day, morality has eloped our societal norms. They used to do this effortlessly with several styles of penalties; the consequences became a deterrent for the masses. Nowadays, there are little or no cultural or religious consequences; everyone in the society is running amok like a headless chicken. No true leadership with sense of true responsibility to drive the society to greater moral standards
By acknowledging the truth in your post I am shamefully admitting to being guilty. As a member of the Christian community, the words in your post hit hard. The church is made up of people and it seems we have lost our way. Help us Lord to remember your commission, to love one another and go ye therefore and preach to all nations the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
yes we all must constantly return to the root virtues of our faith that is true. a world without religio and a collective connection to God is not an option for African people. we are chiefly a people of faith and no bad leader will change that. Africa is currently the most powerful part of the Catholic church as it has always been since the founding of Christianity. We Catholics must hold our leaders accountable by using our faith not by losing it. I hope Ms. Chimamanda hasn't completely lost her faith from the bad actions of a few when so many more are doing good in the African church.
I love the honesty and audacity with which Chimamada has come out to say what she said here. I pray many will wake up. Perhaps hope for a better, more civil society will be reignited in our country. Kudos to her

The money was a very small part of the reason for me leaving religion. But last year my friends came to this realization about the Catholic Church. After both her parents die two months apart. After years of giving it all to the church. The only message they got from the church was a letter thanking them for choosing a Catholic cemetery and what the fees they had to pay. These were people who did alter work .

We may not want to hear this truth reflected to us what we all observe daily, but it is nothing but the truth. Thank you Chimamanda for being the voice of the silence majority.
Absolutely right. Our African cultures are very similar in not allowing people to speak the truth. They expect everyone to act as expected and fit in with the status quo. You are considered out of order, rude, disrespectful and outlaw when you speak out.
You can tell that some people there obviously don't agree with her speaking so publicly about things like this.. I'm glad we have people like Chimamanda ❤

It is not happening in Catholic church alone. Many people do not preaching the correct gospel any longer. It is now all about money and materialism. I do not know whether they know that the Bible calls all these VANITY. Yet they spend great preaching all the NONSENSE as against where people's souls will spend eternity once one dies.

I love this woman. She would make a great leader to any country. Even the USA. Common sense is lost and we are living like devil worshippers. Lmfao. You know what I mean. Lmfao.
Religion is not about money, nor can silence replace justice. We live in a world deeply rooted in hypocrisy and rife with both subtle and overt injustices. Only heaven knows how many injustices and human rights abuses have occurred and been swept under the carpet. Lord, help us.
I am still bewildered that in all included in her speech, she did not mentioned the amount of money extorted from her. I hope this is not one of her rituals to earn fame from the Nobel prize? Chimamanda, you don't criticize what you don't understand. There is a structure administering every institutions with peculiarities to their environment. Why not talk about your traditional burial institution before you brought your late mother to the church? Who is the extortionist?
Thanks a lot for this testimony that I hope would be an exhortation for us to change our behaviors for our own sake !!! Be richly blessed beloved sister !!!
Speak up my daughter. Keep speaking for those who can't speak for themselves. May THE Lord be with you.

She seems to be exaggerating
People always look for soft spots to criticise. No one has heard the other side of the story
Sister Chimamada, thanks for speaking the truth. God will give you more wisdom 🙏
I can seat listening to her speak all day
I love this woman. She would make a great leader to any country. Even the USA. Common sense is lost and we are living like devil worshippers. Lmfao. You know what I mean. Lmfao.

Religion is not about money, nor can silence replace justice. We live in a world deeply rooted in hypocrisy and rife with both subtle and overt injustices. Only heaven knows how many injustices and human rights abuses have occurred and been swept under the carpet. Lord, help us.
Go to the devil you will pay sacrifice, go to God you must carry your cross their is no organization or religion that don't need money
Shoutout to whoever braid her beautiful african hair. No fake weaves, brasillian hair, ....
Yes ma. You are right.
What a factual fact!! And eloquently voiced out to the hearing and understanding by even the dead.
I am still bewildered that in all included in her speech, she did not mentioned the amount of money extorted from her. I hope this is not one of her rituals to earn fame from the Nobel prize? Chimamanda, you don't criticize what you don't understand. There is a structure administering every institutions with peculiarities to their environment. Why not talk about your traditional burial institution before you brought your late mother to the church? Who is the extortionist?
Are you one of them...
AM PROUD OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FOR THE TRUTH
Thanks a lot for this testimony that I hope would be an exhortation for us to change our behaviors for our own sake !!! Be richly blessed beloved sister !!!
