Nigerian singer and rapper, Jesse Jagz says prayer does not build roads or buy books as he encouraged citizens to tone down on the religious rhetorics.

Speaking on the ‘Big Talk’ podcast, the rapper said it is wrong for followers of foreign religions to pray and expect miracles without work.

Speaking further, he claimed that the African traditional religious gods are drunk because of the alcohol priests fed them during rituals.

According to him, this is why they are obese and diabetic and helpless to their worshipers.

He emphasized that prayers do not provide basic social amenities.

“When you go to a shrine and you see the priest pouring gin on the gods, Google how much a bottle of gin was in slavery. 40 slaves.

“Our gods are drunk on alcohol and meat. They are obese and diabetic.

“They can’t help us do anything. Prayers do not build roads or buy books for children. We have forgotten humanity,” he said.
