flag Former Nigerian VP Osinbajo condemns prosperity gospel, linking wealth-focused faith to societal harm.

flag Former Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo criticized the prosperity gospel during a speech honoring Bishop Mike Okonkwo, denouncing the belief that wealth and material success are signs of divine favor. flag He argued that equating faith with financial gain distorts Christian teachings and undermines societal progress, especially in a country marked by poverty and inequality. flag Osinbajo emphasized that true Christianity should focus on justice, care for the vulnerable, and ethical living, not tithing or miraculous wealth. flag He contrasted Nigeria’s current religious trends with the historical values of honesty, sacrifice, and hard work that fueled development in the West. flag The remarks highlight growing concerns over the influence of prosperity theology on Nigerian society and governance.
