She urged people to look beyond religious clichés and explore the deeper meaning of their existence. Her powerful words have triggered a wave of emotional and philosophical responses online.
“I have a simple but important question for everyone today: Why are we alive? Why are you still here while so many others, some better, kinder, more faithful, are gone? What’s your purpose?” she asked.
Mary Njoku boldly challenged popular spiritual clichés in a recent post, urging people to dig deeper than default responses like “It’s grace” or “God loves me.”

She also raised eyebrows by asking why some believe they’re alive “just to win souls,” pointing out the inconsistency in such beliefs. Her powerful message has stirred serious reflection online.
“You’re not out-preaching them,” Njoku noted, pushing her audience to think more critically.
She concluded her reflection by urging people to assess their tangible impact on those around them:
“What is your real purpose? What’s your actual contribution to people, to your community, to this moment in time?”
