According to her, the country has made "daily church contributions" unbearable for many church members like herself, and as such, it would be better for religious leaders to find an alternative instead of continuously demanding money from their members.

“I beg, make una go learn work,” she said repeatedly.
She added that church members no longer have peace due to the increasing number of financial requests, noting that the pressure has become too much for many to handle.
She said:
"I beg, I beg, I beg o. Reverend fathers, bishops, pastors... make una go learn work! My knee is on the ground, make una go learn work, I beg of you.
Make time, spend money from your own business. We are tired, truly tired. My knees are on the ground. How can a person come to church and una go learn work o! We don tire. Church contribution, church cathedral this, cathedral that... make una go learn work!
