Speak up my daughter. Keep speaking for those who can't speak for themselves. May THE Lord be with you.
I just love Chimamanda. She is super eloquent.
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 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
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
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.
This is the same reason why you became my hero. You make me so proud. Your bravery is commendable.
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 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

Speak the truth to power! More power to you sister!!!!
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
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!
Anytime Chimamanda speaks pearls of wisdom drop.....⚡
Well done. I salute your bravery. May your parents soul rest in eternal peace. God guide and protect you from all your enemies.
Well spoken! No peace without justice. Leaders should be held accountable. Church should not be materialistic! 👏🏾👏🏾
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!
It's in the United States of America, too.😢
You're a sister to be proud of and I'm very proud of you!!!
Amen sister! She thinks and she has a BIG heart. Amazing! God bless her.🥂🎉🎉🎉
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.
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,,,
SPEAK MY SISTER! BLESS YOU CHIMAMANDA! Y-E-A-H! YOU ARE AMAZING!
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.
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.
The priest was supposed to officiate a funeral service, period!
Fearless amazon. I respect you so much.
Ada Igbo we love you may God Almighty be with you all the days of your life Amen 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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
I love Chimamanda. She is my role model.
Love her poems and powerful messages of wisdom.
This is very true thank you so much ❤❤
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.
As Peter Tosh said: "I don't want peace. We need equal rights and justice."
I agree. All leaders in any shape or form or country MUST be accountable because they are given power that MUST be managed accordingly.

Very well said, i mean, someone has to say something.
Well said Chimamanda ❤❤
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
Just my battle at my home country. Same mentality which makes abusers stronger and stronger

You are a sister to be proud of!!!!!
Well spoken Chimamanda, truth is always bitter.
And evil hates Truth .
God bless you, Ezigbo Ada Igbo.
Thank you Chief Chimamanda. You are forthright and an Amazon
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
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.
I like her boldness
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.
"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
I love you my sister..
More than my self.
Undiluted truth
Thanks dearest great gift to humanity
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...
I will just leave this here. In Kenya, as the young people, we do not want peace!
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.
THANK YOU for your words of Light and Truth. Yes, Justice will pass! blessings ❤🕉🙏🏽 KALKI

#chimamandangoziadichie Thank you so very much. The lessons you teach run deep and wide. 💯💌💯💌💯💌💯
I respect you dear! ❤
God bless u I will choose u over 100 soyinka
Tell the masses, don't hold back...
Stand your ground, stay strong and courageous!
Amazing speech! Thank you for that level of understanding and eloquence.
Of course my sister , there's nothing call Peace without justice and equality
Continue to shine the light in dark places...your light has allowed me to shine my light too. Brilliant,Beautiful and Bodacious!
May God continue to bless you richly, Nne 😊
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.
Well spoken Chimamanda 🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
I have been working behind the scenes on exactly what Chimamanda is saying. So glad she is raising this
Okwulora!!! Keep louding it. You courageously speak the truth always which many cannot do.
Sister Chimamada, thanks for speaking the truth. God will give you more wisdom 🙏
Powerful,thanks.
Thank you for speaking the truth, so many people are afraid to do so
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!

I’m sorry for your loss Ngozi. You are so powerful of a voice. May God continue to bless you and guide you.

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???
I love this woman . You are so exceptional and brilliant . You told your truth and they did not like it , so be it . 😊😊😊😊😊😅
Not only in Nigeria...
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 😊
Chimimimanda as outspoken as always….
AM PROUD OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FOR THE TRUTH
“I was not asking for peace, I was asking for justice.”
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 CZcams 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.
Yes ma. You are right.
A very powerful and constructive criticism
Chimamanda my love!!!
Thank you so much ma'am, I taught I was the only person on this
100% on point. Thanks for speaking up.
We need to wash the society of the control these religious leaders have, and even the local leaders have to start being scrutinized.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
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.
What a factual fact!! And eloquently voiced out to the hearing and understanding by even the dead.
This is so true, keep speaking up for the voiceless
My heartfelt condolence 💚
I didnt even watch before I hit like, and feel like doing it a thousand times
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 !!!

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.
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.
💯👍 you darling sister said the heart and soul of most honest and genuinely heart in Nigeria, who want nothing but good, great things for our country that will benefit everyone for generations to come. we've suffered enough in the hand of leaders of most organizations.
I agreed with you. I pray god will open the eyes of the people to know the truth and set them free from these business people calling themselves pastors in Nigeria.
I'm so proud of you ma, how calming your voice sounds and your command in English.
My sister, so true. The Catholic Church is toooooo much
Thanks, Ngozi Chimamanda, for raising this issue about the way and manner Catholic church conduct service and themselves in Nigeria. When l visit Nigeria and attend Mass, l cringe.
It makes me feel sad because it is not the way l was raised and thought in a Catholic church l grew up and cherished.
It is high time they return to the authentic way of Catholicism. ❤❤❤
