A sociopathic child took a life but faced little consequence because of his age. Consumed by grief and rage, the victimโs father took justice into his own hands, then pleaded temporary insanity and walked free too.
Where were your so called โmen of Godโ when Christians and Muslims were being slaughtered like animals?
Where were all these loud, powerful pastors who are suddenly everywhere online attacking VDM and defending their fellow religious figures? Where were their voices when Nigerians were crying for leadership, accountability, and someone, anyone, to speak against the killings, kidnapping, banditry and suffering ravaging this country?
Where were they when ordinary Nigerians were being terrorised in their homes, on the roads and in their communities?
But now that the spotlight is finally reaching their doorstep, suddenly there is outrage. Suddenly there are threats. Suddenly everyone has something to say.
This hypocrisy is exactly what many Nigerians are beginning to question.
I genuinely pity Christians who have been made to believe that they cannot know God for themselves without a pastor standing between them and God. You have a Bible. You have a conscience. You have the ability to question, think, investigate and seek God for yourself.
A pastor is not God. A church is not God. A pulpit is not a throne.
And no pastor should be treated as though questioning him is the same thing as questioning God.
The day Christians wake up and realise that faith does not require blind obedience to religious personalities, many of these systems of control will begin to collapse.
You cannot remain silent while people are being killed, kidnapped and destroyed, then suddenly discover your voice when criticism reaches your own circle.
And please, spare us the religious manipulation where desperate members are constantly told to โbring money to Godโ as though God needs a pastorโs bank account to answer prayers.
God does not need your money.
Question everything. Read the Scriptures yourself. Think for yourself. Hold religious leaders accountable. And stop confusing loyalty to a pastor with loyalty to God.
If your faith cannot survive questions, then perhaps what you have been defending all along is not faith, it is an institution.
For Someone Special ๐
May you find someone who never makes you question your worth, someone who protects your heart, respects your feelings, and loves you consistently not only when things are easy. ๐ค๐ธ
