Only poor people will go to heaven – Seun Kuti

Maverick singer Seun Kuti has asserted that only the poor will attain “heaven.” He contends that the doctrines of Christianity and Islam focus on the present, suggesting that individuals with savings and bank accounts won’t enter heaven because they do not subscribe to the belief in the imminent arrival of Jesus by saving for the future.NYSC Portal

Identifying as a “juju” worshipper, Kuti shared his perspective that a significant portion of Nigerians would be eligible for heaven due to their financial circumstances, noting that only 48 million out of the over 200 million Nigerians have bank accounts. His comments reflect a unique viewpoint on religious beliefs and financial status.informationguidenigeria

Speaking in the latest episode of the Spill With Phyna podcast, the singer said: “When people tried to preach to me, ‘Oh Seun, you’ve to give your life to Christ.’ I always ask them this particular question: ‘Do you have a bank account? If you do, you’re just like me. Anywhere I dey go when I die, is where you’re going.’JAMB Result

“Because to believe in Jesus Christ is not to believe in a man or a personality. There are doctrines behind it. You must believe in the death and resurrection. Christianity and Islam are religions of now, the immediate. Everything is based on the premise that everything will end now: Jesus Christ is coming now. If you don’t believe that Jesus Christ is coming now then you’re not a real Christian. But all of you that believe Jesus Christ is coming now, you now have bank accounts for tomorrow? You’re saving for tomorrow. That means you don’t believe Jesus Christ is coming now.JAMB Portal

“Poor people are the ones that will go to heaven. That’s what it means. In Nigeria, it’s only 48 million Nigerians that have bank accounts. The government revealed this during COVID-19 when Nigerians were agitating for stipend to be paid to their accounts as palliatives. The government said that won’t work because only 48 million out of 200 million Nigerians have bank accounts. So, hopefully, many of those that will go to heaven will be Nigerians because they have passed the first criteria.”
