Controversial broadcaster Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has questioned the impact of religion on Nigeria’s development, arguing that it has not produced meaningful results.
He made the remarks while speaking on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he compared Nigeria’s situation with that of less religious nations such as Japan.
During the discussion, Daddy Freeze expressed concern over what he described as a disconnect between religious devotion and the country’s socio-economic realities.
“How is religion working for us?,” he asked.
“My problem with religion is – it has no results. Where is the prosperity? Where is the love? You say God loves us because we are religious so how come the Japanese are the ones enjoying their own heaven on earth? They are developed.
“We don’t have anything but we have this ‘God that favours us.’ However, when we truly list the things what we say favour is – prosperity, health… Did you know Nigeria has the shortest life expectancy in the world according to the 2026 statistics -54 years?
“We pay more tithes than taxes in this country yet our prayers and sacrifices don’t seem to reflect on the condition of our nation,” Daddy Freeze expressed.
