Corper Raye explained that she stopped going to church after realizing her struggles were not spiritual but rooted in economic hardship, urging young people to shift their mindset away from superstition and take practical steps to overcome poverty.
Viral NYSC member, Corper Raye, has revealed the reason she stopped attending church, explaining that many of the struggles faced by Nigerian youth are not spiritual but economic.
In a now-trending video, Raye stated that the belief in spiritual causes—such as family curses or “village people”—is misleading. Instead, she emphasized that the real issue holding back young Nigerians is the harsh economic reality they live in.
“I stopped going to church because I realized my problem wasn’t spiritual—it was economic,” Raye said. “It’s about the country I grew up in. You’re not cursed. Nothing is wrong with you. Your family isn’t cursed. Your village people aren’t affecting you.”
She described how a change in mindset helped her begin finding real solutions to her challenges:
“The only thing slowing you down as an average youth is growing up in an economy that makes success five times harder. I used to make a lot of naive videos until I woke up one day and realized this is not a spiritual issue—it’s an economic one.”
Raye made it clear that she still believes in God, but she now rejects the idea that her struggles are caused by supernatural forces.
“I love God, honestly. But I truly believe there’s no curse following me. The moment I shifted my mindset and stopped blaming family curses, I began to look for real ways to break out of poverty.”
She encouraged others to stop relying on generational blame and instead think creatively:
“To escape this economic trap, you have to think outside the box. Stop depending on the narrative that your problems come from your father’s or mother’s side. The real ‘curse’ is holding on to that mindset.”
