He may have been raised by a Pastor Father and mother yet, Jesse Jagz admitted shockingly that he has not set foot in a church for the past eight years. Without any self-guilt, he explained confidently that the church as an institution has become overrated.
“I have not been to church in eight years and this is the first time I am saying this,” he revealed to ExpressNG.
The 31 year-old was raised in the city of Jos, Plateau State by clergy parents, Pastor Chris G. Abaga, Founder, Chris Abaga Ministries and Mrs Lydia Abaga, a gospel artiste and counselor.
Jesse explained further: “Well, I think it is because I believe that education doesn’t only exist within the boundary of school, education is a separate thing on its own. Same way, God does not just exist only in religious institutions, He exist on His own. Growing up in church and all that…I have come to realize that a relationship with God is what is most important. Church might/ can be defined in so many other ways but as long as God and you is okay…whether you are a Buddhist or whatever. Yeah, I believe God exist but it is we human beings that take religion thing too serious.”
Jesse is due to release a third studio album entitled The Return Of The Gods this September.
