Religious Laws Only Affect The Poor – Fr. Kelvin Ugwu

Popular Nigerian Catholic priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu has come out to say that most laws created in the name of religion are meant for the poor.

The Malawi based priest recently revealed this amid the ongoing Hijab controversy in Kwara State.

According to him, the plain truth is that arguments on whether it is mandatory to wear or not to wear Hijab cannot happen in schools filled with rich kids.

He added that what most of these rich children will do, ordinary poor Muslims cannot be allowed to do it and go scot free.

His words, “If we are to be sincere to ourselves, most of these unnecessary laws created in the name of religion are basically meant for the poor and for poor women,”

“You will not find the super rich kids in schools where there will be foolish arguments like, whether it is mandatory to wear or not to wear Hijab. What most of these rich folks will do, ordinary poor Muslims CAN’T do it and go free.”
