Former Nigerian VP Osinbajo condemns prosperity gospel, linking wealth-focused faith to societal harm.
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.
He argued that equating faith with financial gain distorts Christian teachings and undermines societal progress, especially in a country marked by poverty and inequality.
Osinbajo emphasized that true Christianity should focus on justice, care for the vulnerable, and ethical living, not tithing or miraculous wealth.
He contrasted Nigeria’s current religious trends with the historical values of honesty, sacrifice, and hard work that fueled development in the West.
The remarks highlight growing concerns over the influence of prosperity theology on Nigerian society and governance.
