Why lady stopped attending Nigerian churches
Abeks, in a post on TikTok, said the first thing she loves about her White church is their teachings, which she considers relatable and well-explained with real-life examples.
The second reason she gave was their mode of praise and worship. While noting that she loves the vibrant and energetic praise and worship that are common in Nigerian churches, Abeks said she loves the calm way her White church conducts theirs.
She noted that the calm worship brings her peace and prevents distractions. She concluded by saying she feels very comfortable in her White church to cry or worship God as she likes, and wouldn’t have to worry about the cameraman taking her unaware pictures for the big screen. In her words:
“…The first reason is cause of the teachings. They are always relatable and properly explained with real life examples so even if you are not very familiar with the Bible, you would definitely understand the message.
“The second reason is cause of the praise and worship. They are always so calm and honestly, it just brings me so much peace. Don’t get me wrong. I love the vibrant, energetic praise and worship we have in Nigerian churches, but for me, I personally just prefer the calmness that comes with their worship
“It also makes it easier for me to pray and talk to God because there are not so many loud voices or people screaming, so I don’t get distracted easily.
“Lastly, I like that I can be super comfortable to cry or do whatever without worrying that the cameraman would put my face on the big screen.”

“And they adhere to time. Nigerian churches can exceed time especially when you need to work weekends. White church, anytime any day. No gossiping and you are free to wear anything without thinking about whether you are wearing cheap clothes or not.”
