Faani recalled how a pastor duped him into sacrificing goats to heal his wife while speaking at the Meticulous People nonprofit Outreach, a mental illness nonprofit founded by Chacha.
He bemoaned the fact that religion has caused more harm than good in Africa. Chacha commented on her Instagram profile after posting a video, “
“The universe knew I would need ‘saving’ and so they sent ‘Austin Faani my way.
According to Faani, “I’m a very religious person but I believe religion has done more harm to Africans than anything else.
“In November 2012, I took her to a church because I told the pastor that my father-in-law killed a lot of cows for her, he said I should kill something for her. So Iran to Abraka market and bought a big goat for her but at the end of the day, the same thing kept happening to her.”
