A video capturing a Nigerian man expressing his dissatisfaction with church members holding a church service during working hours in the South East has gone viral, as he claimed that Christianity came to destroy the future of Igboland.
In the video, the man voiced his concerns, stating that prior to the arrival of the white man, the Igbo people dedicated each day to their “Hustle” and named them as market days.
He voiced out that the Igbos valued hard work and made the most of every opportunity to earn a living, emphasizing the importance they placed on hard work in Igbo culture.
Expressing his surprise and disappointment, the man criticized men and women who chose to attend church and pray instead of being present at their places of work during working hours.
He lamented the shift from the Igbo tradition of diligent work to what he saw as misplaced priorities.
While the man’s statement has stirred controversy, it reminds us of the diverse opinions within communities.
As the video continues to circulate, it has sparked various conversations and debates online, resulting in mixed reactions, and has further raised questions about the influence of Christianity on traditional customs.
