Timaya, others questions increase in ritual killings

Popular Nigerian singer, Inetimi Timaya Odon, popularly known by his stage name, Timaya, has urged Nigerians to be alert to the alleged increase in money ritual.

The Bayelsa born star, while reacting to reports of teenage boys who killed a girl for money ritual questioned why young people were indulging in money ritual.

Timaya, in a tweet via his Twitter handle said: “17 years old boys doing money ritual?? Innocent humans, killed for money, even your own homeboy can use you.

“Watch out guys, it’s really cold outside.”

Meanwhile, other celebrities have blamed society for not questioning people with unknown means of wealth.

Popular media personality, Noble Igwe in a thread on Twitter called out churches that receive donations from people without asking the source of their wealth.

According to him, “Every day, we are on different pages of people we know that can’t afford certain things shouting “God when” then come here to act surprised that people are doing evil to ‘belong. Our society does not question the source of anything.

“In most clubs, it is only bottle services. They don’t sell cocktails or beer, and when people other expensive drinks, music is shut down to deliver drink(s) to one person or a group. People will kill or commit a crime to get such treatment.

“People will post three skits in a year and then post a house they just bought, people will appear in two movies then post “new me, new house”. The thing is, we celebrate all types of questionable wealth.

“The church will take a donation from anyone with money, the village will crown anyone with money, no questions asked. Families don’t ask their children how they make their money, and some do not care. It’s the society that feeds this monster.
