Viral NYSC corper, Raye in a recent post shared on her official Instagram page , has revealed why she stopped attending church.
In a trending video, she explained that most of the struggles young people go through are not spiritual problems but economic challenges.
According to her, attributing setbacks to village people or family curses is misleading, emphasizing that it is the tough economy that truly hinders young people’s progress.
She said; “I stopped going to church because I realized that my problem was not a spiritual problem but it was about an economical problem. It was more of the country I grew up in. You’re not cursed. Nothing is wrong with you.
Your family doesn’t have any curse. Your village people have not had any effect on you. The only thing that is making you slow as an average youth is because you are literally growing up in an economy that makes things five times harder for an average person to succeed i used to do a lot of naive video until i woke up one day and i said this problem is not a spiritual problem it’s just basically an economical problem.
I love god to be very honest but i genuinely believe that i don’t have any costs the minute i changed my mindset and said there’s no cost after me i need to look for a way to break out of poverty i started finding ways i started finding solution for myself.
To break out of this kind of cause, to break out of the economy cause, you have to look for a way to fend for yourself outside the box. Think outside the box and try to find a way outside the box.
But stop depending on that information that you’re caused from your father’s side, your mother’s side. That is the real cause. The real cause is that mindset that you’re actually holding on and saying that it’s from your father or mother’s side. That is the actual cause.”

Netizens divide over Corper Raye’s post
daddyfreeze: The church we have today is a departure from what the apostles started and nothing more than a business centre.
kaytatoo: Girl, you’re smart and I’m proud of you. So happy you realised this early in your life, the sky is your limit 👏👏.
pikinoflagos__ : Small fame wey we give you cos of nysc na Christ gathering you wan come dey whitewash !!! You better rest !! Those who are of others religion will never say they are not going to mosque or shrine !! If you believe in God then you don’t stop the gathering of what God had designated for his fellows !!! For those saying that pastors are taking our money bla bla bla !! You can be in church and not participate in the money aspect !!! Your choice.
debee_sparkle : You are beginning to talk too much. For your mind now you don arrive and don’t need to attend church anymore, Ok o… dey play 😂.
topchild_ : I don’t actually go to church cos of financial problems, I go to church to feel the atmosphere of God’s presence in the gathering of his followers 👏.
kc_mayor : Some people don’t read before commenting, her emphasis was that she stopped going to night vigils which mostly is for casting, binding and deliverance. Religion they say, is the opium of the masses. If we have a working economy, going to church will be to praise and worship God.
darlington_mide : Lol if you think going to church is for you needs only to be met you have a long way to go o😂..the church is for communion with God..lol alot of Christians in this part of the world always think our relationship with God is to ask for things and once is not given they stop praising.
