Jesse Jagz, a prominent singer and rapper, has called on Nigerians to reevaluate their perspective on religion.

He asserted that the deities of African traditional religions are inebriated due to the alcohol offered to them by priests during rituals.

Jagz explained that this is the reason these gods appear overweight, suffer from diabetes, and are ineffective in assisting their devotees.

During his appearance on the ‘Big Talk’ podcast, the artist criticized adherents of foreign religions for merely praying and anticipating miracles without taking action.

He highlighted that prayers alone do not address the need for essential social services.

“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.
