Gospel singer and worship leader Victoria Orenze has sparked widespread reactions after openly voicing her frustration with some ministers and Christians she believes are misusing God’s name for personal benefit.
In a strongly worded statement, she said she was disappointed in certain church leaders and worshippers who, according to her, exploit religion for profit.
“Honestly, I am disappointed in some ministers, church goers, who just use the name of the Lord for profit!” she said.
Orenze also criticised those who judge government performance based on personal gains rather than the welfare of the majority. She questioned claims that the government is functioning well, insisting that many Nigerians are still suffering under poor leadership.
“Which government is working? Nigerian government, politicians and leaders have failed Nigeria and Nigerians. Period,” she stated.
She further accused some individuals of speaking on behalf of God while ignoring injustice and wrongdoing, arguing that their opinions are often driven by self-interest rather than concern for the people.
“Those who don’t hear GOD but yet want to speak on HIS behalf! Whenever a few are benefiting from a government, they say the government is working… GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED!” she added.
Describing what she called “stomach Christianity,” Orenze said such attitudes reflect selfish motives rather than genuine faith or concern for the nation’s wellbeing.
Her remarks have since generated debate online, with many interpreting her comments as a subtle response to fellow gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori, who recently praised efforts by President Bola Tinubu and security agencies in the ongoing efforts to secure the release of abducted Oyo State schoolchildren and staff, while also calling for prayers.

@mikeabdulnaija:”The point can be made without attacking any minister.
@meeldread:”Fr!! This is not a time to sugarcoat things. This government is not working. If you can’t say it then don’t say anything at all. Very simple!! Thank you ma.”
@bethel_cakes:”Good question! One aunty said they are working.Sometimes,it’s best to be quiet than to say things that make you appear insensitive. God forbid,if her children were in the bush with those children,would she say that?”
