The actor who stated that religion had been used to brainwash several people noted that a child's first salary belongs to their father and not a pastor.

In his words:

“Religion has brought a lot of brainwashing that a man will sit in the comfort of his house and ask my son or daughter to bring what they call first fruit. Na you train am? Your first salary is for your father, not your Pastor."
