‘Religion has no results,’ Daddy Freeze makes controversial claim

Nigerian media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has made a controversial claim about religion and its impact on the development of the country.

Daddy Freeze, while speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, claimed that religion does not produce the results it preaches.

He stressed that countries less religious than Nigeria have produced better results in terms of infrastructure and living standards.

”How is religion working for us?. 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?,” he stated.

Daddy Freeze also spoke about the practice of paying tithes, adding that it has no positive impact on individuals and the nation.

“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,” he added.
