In the video posted on TikTok by Italian Davido, the priest said he lives in Italy and works as Catholic priest.
He noted that he was ordained a priest in Nigeria and that he had already worked for two years being moving to Italy.
According to him, being a priest in Nigeria feels like being a king while being a priest in Italy is more like being a servant.
He said:
"I was a priest for two years before coming here. I was ordained there. Being a priest in Nigeria, you look like a king. Being a priest here feels like a servant. That's the core difference because there are a whole lot of things over here that will make you humble yourself. You come to real terms with life. In the parish or anywhere, you do things yourself. In Nigeria you are the boss, over here you must come down."
