A former Catholic nun has taken to social media to issue a scathing warning to Nigerians funding abusive priests.
Kinse Shako Anastasia said money given to priests known for emotional, financial, spiritual, or sexual abuse is no longer “charity”—it’s participation in evil.
“Once you know a man is abusive and still fund him because ‘he is a priest,’ your money is no longer innocent,” Anastasia wrote on Facebook.
She slammed blind loyalty, saying it has “destroyed lives, silenced victims, and empowered predators.”
The ex-nun made it clear: a collar does not make someone above morality, and an altar cannot hide cruelty.
She called out worshippers who defend abusive priests in the name of faith, saying, “Funding an abusive priest because you fear touching God’s anointed is cowardice disguised as piety. God does not need blood money.”
Anastasia warned that charity should heal, not hurt.
“If your money keeps someone powerful while their victims remain broken, that is not generosity—it is cruelty with religious branding,” she said.
Her post has sparked intense debate online, with many calling for stricter accountability in religious institutions.
She challenged believers to rethink what they are really worshipping when they support known abusers.
“Silence is not righteousness. Funding abuse is not faith. And God is not impressed by offerings soaked in injustice,” she concluded.
Anastasia’s message is clear: Nigerians must stop confusing reverence with blind loyalty and ensure their faith protects victims rather than shields abusers.
