Again, Daddy Freeze opens up on church rejection

Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze, has spoken about religion and what made him stop attending religious activities.

The controversial critic, while speaking with Chude Jideonwo, opened up on how he was treated by the church during his divorce. He revealed that he felt rejected during a difficult time of his life.

“Divorcees and separated women are ostracized by the church. And I believe that’s one of the reasons why Osinachi died. The church is not going to chase you for divorcing, but are they going to allow you to be the lead singer?,” he stated.

Daddy Freeze went on to stress his claim, stating that women are usually stigmatized by religious bodies when they are divorced or separated.

“It happened to me. I was very cool with my pastor then. When I was going through my divorce, it was one of the things that drew me away from the church. My pastor said, ‘Yeah, you can come to church, but you know you’re going to sit at the back!. I’m going through a divorce and getting married to somebody else, so that means I can’t bring the person to this church again? Then I remembered John 4, the woman at the well who had had five husbands and was living with one who wasn’t her husband. That is so powerful. I’ve only divorced once,” he explained.
