In a TikTok post by @solaceojotule, the lady narrated how her mother reacted after visiting churches in the UK.
She said:
“So my mum is in the UK for the first time, and I decided to take her to church. Big mistake. Stay with me. We've been to two churches so far, and after every service she'll whisper, "Tule, I'm not satisfied. My stomach is not full."
“At first I thought she meant food o. I said, "Mummy, they gave us tea and biscuit after service. It's not meant to satisfy you." Then she said it wasn't about food. She said, " I mean my spirit is still hungry."
“I had to explain, "Mummy, here nobody is praying against kidnapping, no one is asking God for electricity or water and other basic amenities. Food is cheap. The citizens gets almost free education plus free health care. Just pay your taxes and you are good. Nobody's neighbour is plotting their downfall. They're just thanking God for sunshine."
“Mummy said, "I can't wait to go back to my church.This one no reach. I'm not full." So I've told her, join the Nigerian church online in the morning, then follow me to my UK church in the afternoon. That way, she can collect the best of both worlds, small fire, and big fire because how can you say you're not full in the church of the people who brought you Christianity?”
"Nigerian church vs UK church, totally different. How do I explain to my mum that you don’t have to shout and kabash before God hears you? "

"Haha this cracked me up. Bless her heart haha. There is so many different styles of church services she could explore & often in some absolutely stunning buildings. I hope she eventually finds one she feels more at home but sadly that is sort of the point of moving to a different culture is to integrate with new things so she might have to get used to it being a bit different bless her haha."
