Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has stirred public debate with his outspoken defense of a financial appeal made by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
The artist took to social media to declare that if he had a billion naira, he would donate it without hesitation to the church, and possibly more. His comments came in response to criticism leveled against the church for its fundraising efforts, which some have deemed excessive. Odumodublvck's stance is that giving to the church is a personal and voluntary act of faith, not a requirement for salvation. He challenged critics by highlighting the practical financial needs of running a large religious organization, from paying for electricity to covering the logistics of evangelism.
The rapper also pointed out the charitable work often done by pastors to support less privileged members, which is funded by such donations. This public position has reignited conversations about the role of faith, financial giving, and social responsibility in modern Nigeria, with the musician asserting his commitment to supporting the church's work "shamelessly."
