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.
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

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.
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 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!
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!!!!
Well done. I salute your bravery. May your parents soul rest in eternal peace. God guide and protect you from all your enemies.
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!
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.
Well spoken! No peace without justice. Leaders should be held accountable. Church should not be materialistic! 👏🏾👏🏾
It's in the United States of America, too.😢
You're a sister to be proud of and I'm very proud of you!!!
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 powerful message. Peace vs justice.
The priest was supposed to officiate a funeral service, period!
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!
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,,,
You have hit the nail right on the head. If we all could speak boldly to power, Africa would become better
SPEAK MY SISTER! BLESS YOU CHIMAMANDA! Y-E-A-H! YOU ARE AMAZING!
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
This is very true thank you so much ❤❤
Fearless amazon. I respect you so much.
Love her poems and powerful messages of wisdom.
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.

Well said Chimamanda ❤❤
You are a sister to be proud of!!!!!
Just my battle at my home country. Same mentality which makes abusers stronger and stronger

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.
Thank you Chief Chimamanda. You are forthright and an Amazon
I respect you dear! ❤
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 .
I love you my sister..
More than my self.
I love Chimamanda. She is my role model.
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.
"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
Undiluted truth
Thanks dearest great gift to humanity
Ada Igbo we love you may God Almighty be with you all the days of your life Amen 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes ma. You are right.
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.
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
As Peter Tosh said: "I don't want peace. We need equal rights and justice."
#chimamandangoziadichie Thank you so very much. The lessons you teach run deep and wide. 💯💌💯💌💯💌💯
THANK YOU for your words of Light and Truth. Yes, Justice will pass! blessings ❤🕉🙏🏽 KALKI

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.
Tell the masses, don't hold back...
Stand your ground, stay strong and courageous!
I like her boldness
Amazing speech! Thank you for that level of understanding and eloquence.
God bless you, Ezigbo Ada Igbo.
Not only in Nigeria...
May God continue to bless you richly, Nne 😊
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...
Okwulora!!! Keep louding it. You courageously speak the truth always which many cannot do.
Powerful,thanks.
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.
Continue to shine the light in dark places...your light has allowed me to shine my light too. Brilliant,Beautiful and Bodacious!
My heartfelt condolence 💚
I have been working behind the scenes on exactly what Chimamanda is saying. So glad she is raising this
Chimimimanda as outspoken as always….
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
Leave God's elect E get why
AM PROUD OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FOR THE TRUTH
You can tell that some people there obviously don't agree with her speaking so publicly about things like this.. I'm glad we have people like Chimamanda ❤
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!

God bless u I will choose u over 100 soyinka
Thank you for speaking the truth, so many people are afraid to do so
I love this woman . You are so exceptional and brilliant . You told your truth and they did not like it , so be it . 😊😊😊😊😊😅
What a factual fact!! And eloquently voiced out to the hearing and understanding by even the dead.
A very powerful and constructive criticism
I can seat listening to her speak all day
100% on point. Thanks for speaking up.
I’m sorry for your loss Ngozi. You are so powerful of a voice. May God continue to bless you and guide you.

I didnt even watch before I hit like, and feel like doing it a thousand times
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
She said the truth,
I would like to share instead of saying church leaders we need to change the language to Religion 💚💚💚
Sister Chimamada, thanks for speaking the truth. God will give you more wisdom 🙏
Absolutely right. Our African cultures are very similar in not allowing people to speak the truth. They expect everyone to act as expected and fit in with the status quo. You are considered out of order, rude, disrespectful and outlaw when you speak out.
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 !!!

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 😊
Chimamanda my love!!!
I'm so proud of you ma, how calming your voice sounds and your command in English.
“I was not asking for peace, I was asking for justice.”
Wonderful performance
💯👍 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.
No justice ! No peace !!!!
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 so much ma'am, I taught I was the only person on this
All over the world!
This is so true, keep speaking up for the voiceless
I will just leave this here. In Kenya, as the young people, we do not want peace!
This is just true ❤
