CityNews Nigeria reports that Maharaj Ji was speaking at the Alarere residence of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, shortly after paying homage to the monarch on Monday.

“Religion has not helped this country in any form and if anybody disagrees with me, such a person should point at what religion has done for us in terms of development.

“Or, are we saying Nigerians are not religious enough? What is important is what a particular person can do, for now, what we need is performance.”
