Radio Host Dotun Criticizes "Sinful Wealth" Prayers, Calls it Disrespectful

 

Popular Nigerian On-Air Personality, Dotun, has sparked debate by criticizing the practice of attributing wealth acquired through unethical means to divine blessing. In a social media post, he argued that it is "disrespectful" to pray to God for blessings on wealth gained through sin. Dotun contends that while he believes God is non-judgmental, individuals should still show reverence and acknowledge the origins of their prosperity, rather than claiming it as a divine gift when it is rooted in wrongdoing. He suggests a growing acceptance in Nigeria of associating ill-gotten gains with divine favor, a trend he strongly condemns.

My God does not judge neither does he condemn you but he still needs to be respected. Praying to God on something you know you got through sin is disrespectful. The devil also gives but how come you don’t pray to him when he gives? We have normalized bad wealth as God’s.”

“It might seem fair to validate people’s wealth no matter how they acquired it. What’s not fair is validating how it is okay to be crooked to make it and make an excuse on why God doesn’t judge. He doesn’t but don’t mislead people.

Wealth is good. What’s not good is wealth you know deep inside that you acquired to pressure others; using God as your reason to do that is what’s wrong, Most of us are guilty of this but awareness also means even if we are foolish & know you got it, let’s leave God out of it.”
