“Churches in Nigeria are increasingly being used as commercial ventures”-laments Catholic Bishop

WRITTEN BY: CHIOMA MADONNA NDUKWU

Catholic Bishop Stephen Mamza of Yola has expressed concern over the rise of churches in Nigeria driven solely by profit motives.

Speaking at St Augustine’s Catholic Church, Bekaji, Yola, during a Mass marking World Communications Sunday, Bishop Mamza criticized the trend of individuals entering ministry solely for financial gain, even aspiring to own private jets.

He recounted an encounter where a general overseer sought to sell his church due to financial struggles. Emphasizing the importance of human communication amid technological advancements, Bishop Mamza called for empathy in interactions.
