Not only catholics all religions
Yes true she is Catholics she talked about her experience I love this am too Catholics can relate to her experience. You absolutely right
😂😂 False generalisation. Another opportunity to show your hatred
Redeem church in particular
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.
Agree all of them are cults
Bright woman, wonderful writer, and brave!
Public speaking is lacking and sorely needed from the femme kind.
For they make the majority of teaching to mankind through nursing and nurturing.
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

You are on point
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.
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

I don't want peace, I need equal rights and justice (Peter Tosh). Justice is the prerequisite for true and lasting peace.
Black folks were taught how to love your enemies, turn the left check, slave obey your master's
" when you forgive without demanding justice, you reward injustice " Dr AMOS WILSON
@@lacinabakayoko4634True
There is no justice in religion and politics….only money and greed…I am very proud of this woman for speaking up and telling the truth…. 5:52
What about the transparency in that church she is denouncing other church ?!?? Point the fingers to others and close your eyes to “your own”!???
Church is hustle and Jesus Christ is the product

A slightly ignorant statement. We currently need religion on our planet as it serves as a walking stick, a guide, while humans learn to THINK.
@@johnstampp5726bullshit!
It's an obvious truth, Church is a big business whether you like it or not, it's all about money, power and Fame
I mean, why else are we able to write off church on taxes, above and beyond all else? It’s an agenda!
Church is hustle and Jesus Christ is the product
@@lacinabakayoko4634 Crazy thing is his name isn’t even Jesus, it is YESHUA! We could be worshipping a demon by saying “Jesus”. We never know. These people are sick and twisted with what they’ve done to our religion and how they’re playing mind games with us.

@@stevie586don’t fall for that trap. Jesus Christ is the name to worship too.
Speak up my daughter. Keep speaking for those who can't speak for themselves. May THE Lord be with you.
Odeluwa thinks before she speaks. We are so religious and yet so fraudulent. It is certainly time for collective moral resurrection.
We are so religious, yet so fraudulent. I cannot agree more
I just love Chimamanda. She is super eloquent.
This is the same reason why you became my hero. You make me so proud. Your bravery is commendable.
Peace is an impossible dream without justice. That's where the Nigeria state failed it all Always shouting for peace But never call for justice.
The oppressors book Bible taught black folks. Turn your left check, love your enemies, slave obey your master's
Speak the truth to power! More power to you sister!!!!
Anytime Chimamanda speaks pearls of wisdom drop.....⚡
Nigerian women are becoming bold and the men quite against authoritarianism. I just love this sista and my queen Abigail. They understand that the truth is more important than government, tribe or religion, because nothing of those things matter if they are not based in truth!
The priest was supposed to officiate a funeral service, period!
Well done. I salute your bravery. May your parents soul rest in eternal peace. God guide and protect you from all your enemies.
It's in the United States of America, too.😢
Well spoken! No peace without justice. Leaders should be held accountable. Church should not be materialistic! 👏🏾👏🏾
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 .
Shamefull.
That is so sad 😔. Honestly
Did the parent do the works for God's compensation or church compensation?
Every organisation or body is run by humans and will always show their human imperfections.
@@apachekafka773 now you are trying to deflect. So the church has no responsibilities to those who dedicated their lives to ensuring the good news keeps spreading. The church organization should have cared for the deceased that was the point. They should done a good will gesture to the family like waving the fees, maybe donating money or resources to the family in a time where they are grieving. There several communities here that pay the deceased a certain amount for burial expenses but All the cared about was the patronage.
But Catholic is not a church,,,,,they don't use the Bible but pope's warped philosophy,,,
Africa needs to break free from the religiosity. The young people get it.
Islam is the choosen religion in Senegal no one force it on us.
Young people still use their distraction cellphones all the time and ignore the fact that other children are being enslaved to mine for the bloody minerals used to make those phones
Here in Kenya 🇰🇪. We got it long ago. It all business and a place for the corrupt to run into
@@SulaymanNjie-nk2yk is lslam that is better? Stop making all these myopic arguments. Where’s is the Justice in that your religion? Look around from Saudi Arabia , Iran and many lslamic countries do you see Justice.? Let’s stop defending issues that it obviously so glaring to everyone and leave all the pretences.
@Avoidthismistake The funny thing is you always confuse leadership that has nothing Islamic about them and term them Islamic.
You're a sister to be proud of and I'm very proud of you!!!
SPEAK MY SISTER! BLESS YOU CHIMAMANDA! Y-E-A-H! YOU ARE AMAZING!
Nwannnem, thank you, Dalu. In Nigeria the biggest industry is the church. Tell them ! It is not just the Catholic Church almost all the churches in Nigeria. Very sad
She is coming from a place of experience, so no one can ask her "have you been to the church?" " have you experience it first hand?". So this is her truth for she can boldly defend it. She is a professional.
GOD is Past Present and Future!!!!
I Must say All Church Leaders are becoming millionaires. They ask the poor to give donations to GOD then use it to Build fancy houses and buy expensive cars. This is very True. I thank you for speaking the truth. I can listen to your voice all day it’s very comforting.

And companies I must add
Thank you very much, Chimamanda Adichie!
There has always been REFORMATION in the church.
Even from outside the church.
St Therisa of Avila is an example.
I wish her success!
Very powerful message. Peace vs justice.
I love Chimamanda. She is my role model.
Fearless amazon. I respect you so much.
Well said Chimamanda ❤❤
Amen sister! She thinks and she has a BIG heart. Amazing! God bless her.🥂🎉🎉🎉
Just my battle at my home country. Same mentality which makes abusers stronger and stronger

A pastor would tell you to pay deliverance tithe, blessing tithe etc.
Does that mean if you don’t pay the pastor, you won’t get delivered or get blessed by God?
Are we paying God now for blessings?
And we laugh at people that pay sango?
Make we dey get sense o
Love her poems and powerful messages of wisdom.
This is very true thank you so much ❤❤
Ada Igbo we love you may God Almighty be with you all the days of your life Amen 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is….
Mrs Lee Wallace Stacey
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!
Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
Straight forward, brave, utterly necessary in 21st century. Hope noting bad would come to who criticize religions publicly. You are the treasure of the whole world.
Very well said, i mean, someone has to say something.
I agree. All leaders in any shape or form or country MUST be accountable because they are given power that MUST be managed accordingly.

God 🙏 I pray that you will always keep Chimamanda safe from evil by the power in your blood and forever give her the grace to forever stand by the truth.
Great woman
Chimamanda, thanks. The truth is bitter, but must be put out there on the hot sun. Religious institutions in Africa have become too too materialistic, draining parishioners at every opportunity that comes their way. 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.
Indisputable! It's not only the Catholic Church, though. The Christian Church is a commercial venture, period! All structures are geared towards getting deeper into the faithfuls pockets. There's something called annual renewal of vows to the church in the Catholic Church where women pay more than men. Then, all monies raised in church even for a project must first be taken to the Priests for consecration and deduction of ten percent. This page isn't enough for listing the money making ploys of the Catholic Church.

My sister leave church alone if you want to be in favour with God. The church has a self cleansen system
I like her boldness
Madam Chimamanda Adichie May God bless and continue to bless you for your bravery. You are setting a very good bar of what An African woman should be like. Lots of love from Lagos.
"WOW" i dont use that word lightly loosely you are truly a credit to your people i would love to attend a day of church with you that you found fit or i would spend the day telling you all about him our relationship together be strong beloved a hand of mercy will come upon you Chimamanda

She is a supporter of LGBTQ... Maybe you will follow her to a gay church
@@ronniebattle1310Pentecostal??? Check my last post.. after Babalawo na Dem be number 2
The Catholic church has always been about the money!
Any idea as to the wealth of the Vatican? Conservative estimates reason about ten to fifteen billion dollars. Banking, insurance, chemicals, steel construction and real estate. You name it, they're invested in it.
A lot of the trouble in this world has been caused by the Roman Catholic Church which is the biggest and most corrupt business in the world.👿😭😭👍👍👍
I find that a strange accusation, this may be true in Nigeria but not in many other countries. In my experience Protestants are much more about the money than Catholics.
@@enn4983 Martin Luther called out the Catholic Church for that very reason. That's how Protestantism began.
@@enn4983 Remember the we Roman Catholic Church took over when the Roman Empire collapsed all those years ago. So they just continued on with business and improved it .😈😈😈😭😭⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️
You are a sister to be proud of!!!!!
Dear Adichie
If the catholic church is about money in your country, remember, it has to do with your people who become priests....not about catholic church.
The values they possess come from the culture you belong. The catholic church as such neither allows nor endorses such behaviors of priests if it has happened.
A person of your intellect should be able to distinguish the two.
A priest has often in him a compound of his cultural/familial values, personal values and the valuesnof the Church/faith.
She started by saying the catholic church in Nigeria. Listen!
@@zoenzeribe1673it's not only in Nigeria. If Jesus would return to day he would chase and close many churches worldwide. When I was young the church was a refuge for less fortunate in the society widows,orphans, disabled etc but now? If the church can collect funds to built income generating projects like schools and hospitals why can't they run the churches the way it way done in early years by the missionaries?
God have mercy,
Thank you Chief Chimamanda. You are forthright and an Amazon
As Peter Tosh said: "I don't want peace. We need equal rights and justice."
Thank you for this wonderful piece. For me, it's your best speech ever. I love the tone, content, truth, honesty, and humility. It is only the truth that will save us. My condolences for the loss of your dear mom.
Well spoken Chimamanda, truth is always bitter.
And evil hates Truth .
#chimamandangoziadichie Thank you so very much. The lessons you teach run deep and wide. 💯💌💯💌💯💌💯
Belive me it is not only in Nigeria.
Extortion by pastors also happen in the west
I 100% believe you because I also know so!

Sister Chimamada, thanks for speaking the truth. God will give you more wisdom 🙏
THANK YOU for your words of Light and Truth. Yes, Justice will pass! blessings ❤🕉🙏🏽 KALKI

Amazing speech! Thank you for that level of understanding and eloquence.
Until you lost your beloved one - you know how catholic church will handle your situation
They dont care about your grief, sorrow etc
You will see their priest so much centered all their energy on monetary aspect (To an extent they will plead with you to do donation the same day right inside the church) inside of sympathize with you
Dear , i have suffered all of this
No one will scam me again in the name of church
This is not a problem in the Catholic Church in Cameroon. At least not in my local area.
@@marthangafor6414 Maybe their behavior never happen to you , na turn by turn
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. Or do they not know that souls live forever either in Heaven or hell ?
But You, it is high time you ran to Jesus for Salvation so that you will be set free from all these deceptions.
JESUS SAVES FROM SINS !
@@marthangafor6414 I'm in Cameroon and the Catholic Church has so many different alms and different baskets with names to collect money. When my aunt died the priest refused to do her funeral mass without her church contribution card. My mother is still catholic and complain every day about monetary demands. Maybe you haven't joined any group in church that's why you think they don't demand money
@@cathycathy3638 wow! That has never been my experience. We had a family funeral last year with no complications. The parish priest was amazing!
I know of the many collections but even those are not obligatory in my experience.
Chimimimanda as outspoken as always….
Continue to shine the light in dark places...your light has allowed me to shine my light too. Brilliant,Beautiful and Bodacious!
A priest condemning in public for criticizing the church in public is another poor breed. May God help his Church
We need to wash the society of the control these religious leaders have, and even the local leaders have to start being scrutinized.
Jesus Encounter Ministries RUclips channel**
I love you my sister..
More than my self.
Am Kenyan and it's the same here. It's more a business enterprise in many places than about salvation of souls. Like you, I ask questions and right now am in bad terms with my priest for doing so. It's just sad. Why can't people just love God???
A poor man would become a pastor, and all of a sudden he’s driving the most expensive cars and living in expensive houses.
He would then tell you that if you continue praying and giving your tithes and offerings, you’d be like him.
And many people would contribute money for these pastors to buy jets and cars.
May God continue to bless you richly, Nne 😊
Tell the masses, don't hold back...
Stand your ground, stay strong and courageous!
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.

I respect you dear! ❤
Undiluted truth
Thanks dearest great gift to humanity
Thank you for speaking the truth, so many people are afraid to do so
Very powerful speech, thank you. We are the ones imprisoning ourselves in our own ignorance by not attempting to seek nor ask questions for everything we were told. Enabling the con masters who do not want to work for a living to have power and control over us.
God bless you, Ezigbo Ada Igbo.
Saw this happening a long time ago. It's about time Blacks start waking up about the religions and deities they serve. We are a magnetic people, by default. Worship is NOT our invention. Those who are unintelligent about energy and forces are most incomptent about themselves and the Universe/Nature.
I like your submission on energies, forces and frequency,
@@GodwinKonkwo - I give thanks. Intelligent, civilized minds know there is no physical existence without energies, forces, or wave frequencies. This is the spirituality that animates, drives and influences all living things. The connection between us and spirituality, as evidenced by every movement, motion, action and operation, is blackness. Everything is powered by blackness. Black people are endowed with magnetic powers, but are mentally detached from using it due to white religious indoctrination. All it takes is a few to converge their magnetic potentialities to make a global impact. Truth will prevail.
Jesus Encounter Ministries RUclips channel**
Thankfully more and more people are waking up.
@@ronniebattle1310 - Your intelligence is unreognizable. Worshiping the white boy on a stick does NOT lead to spiritual liberation. And it never will. What is your mother tongue? What is your ethnic group associaction? Are you autochthonous? Let's cancel deceptions.
Okwulora!!! Keep louding it. You courageously speak the truth always which many cannot do.
WOW 😇😇😇😇🧐🧐🧐🧐🥸🥸🥸🥸, I love this WOMAN who is UNWAVERINGLY BOLD And BRAVE to declare the TRUTH, even though if it was my HUMBLE SELF, I would have been as DISCREET as POSSIBLE, not to mention any PARTICULAR SECT/ORGANISATION...
She is 10000000000% correct, and I'm a Catholic.
I think we need to hear the other side of the story from the Priest she just condemned. It will be injustice for us to take everything she said about Fr. Christopher Eze without hearing the other side if the story from Fr. Christopher Eze.
AM PROUD OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FOR THE TRUTH
“I was not asking for peace, I was asking for justice.”
I have been working behind the scenes on exactly what Chimamanda is saying. So glad she is raising this
The fact that people are exploiting others in the name of Christianity don't in anyway destroy the immortal truth in jesus and his teachings, God and know God for yourself never idolise anyone
What "truth"?
@@kaykay5605 are you asking this question to sincerely know or to pour out your hate and criticism of Jesus teachings?
An absolute bravo for chimamanda and yes religion in Nigeria has turned to pimp cult of money minus God ""
Not just Nigeria,all nation Where melanted Carbonated people live.
Not only in Nigeria...
Powerful,thanks.
That's why the guy says he doesn't want peace but rather problem always 😂
You have the video of the meme?
Of course my sister , there's nothing call Peace without justice and equality
I’m sorry for your loss Ngozi. You are so powerful of a voice. May God continue to bless you and guide you.

I will just leave this here. In Kenya, as the young people, we do not want peace!
Bishop of Awka Diocese (the same bishop she talked about) is extremely materialistic. I don't even want to talk about our family's experience with him. It's a big shame!
I witnessed one in the hand of a priest in awka diocese, it shook my faith but also helped me to be stronger, we need to pray for them as the evil one is seeking to strike the shepherd so that the flock can scatter.
Yes!
THANKS FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD, SALVATION IS NOT FREE ANY MORE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY YOU CAN'T GO TO CHURCH 😊
am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father hasdied, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighborssaw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or wewill die of hunger.
