Religious Debate Heats Up: Priest Asks What Really Separates Tithing From Oke-Ite

The priest raised the question in a post to his followers following recent crackdowns on native doctors and individuals allegedly involved in the practice.

He wrote:

“There are two brothers seeking financial breakthrough. One sows a ‘provoking seed’ of ₦1 million to a pastor. The other also pays ₦1 million for nnekwu Oke-Ite to a native priest.

What is the difference between the two? Who among them committed a crime, if any? Or did both commit a crime? Give reasons. JAMB question.”

The priest’s statement has since sparked discussion on the similarities and differences between religious offerings and traditional ritual practices.
