Catholic Priest, Father Uluoma has said alcohol is medicinal and that it was created by God.

He said this while speaking to his congregation during a service at church.

In a video making rounds, Father Uluoma told his church members to alcohol but should be consumed moderately.

Citing the bible, he said;

"Whether you like it or not, alcohol is medicinal. Its God that created alcohol. Saint Paul said, you must take it. Why didn't Saint Paul said go and pray, have faith in God, he has promised us divine healing. He said take alcohol, take wine.
Everything God created like wine, if you take it as you should, moderately, it will benefit you."

Reacting to his comment, some Nigerians took to social media to share their thoughts.

ikorodu_donjazzy: Alcohol is derived from the word al-kuhul which means demon eating spirit and yet it somehow looks medicinal

brightquinn: Many preachers choose to paint every single verse of the Bible to suit their teaching, leaving the original content as it was written, that's why many of you still think polygamy is a sin but we are not ready for this topic.
