9ice Challenges Nigeria’s Prayer Obsession, Reveals 18-Year Secret as Babalawo
Veteran singer 9ice has ignited debate by questioning Nigeria’s deep-rooted prayer culture. In a viral clip, he argued that despite years of calling on Allah and Jesus, the country’s development remains stagnant. He contrasted this with life in London, where few people attend church outside of weekends. At his “Beginning of Wisdom” listening party, 9ice stunned guests by revealing he’s practised as a Babalawo for over 18 years. He also claimed that “every favour you want in life is in the hands of the devil,” adding fuel to the fire. Online reactions have been divided. Some agree that religious fervour can overshadow practical productivity. Others defend faith, insisting that worship isn’t the root of Nigeria’s challenges.
