@BugoDike@obyezeks I don't know if you have a father, if you don't you will definitely have an uncle or Aunt put them all on wheel chairs if they cannot walk, follow them with all the members of your family do your protest if you feel it is needed, I am sure other folks like you will join you all.
@FinPlanKaluAja1@FinPlanKaluAja1 apart from these things being insertions, they also do not take into cognizance the core mandate of the MDAs, imagine given a road project in Kaduna State to a college of agric based in Akure; no planning, haphazard insertions, total disregard to principles.
The church, pastors, and RCCG have all received an unbearable amount of targeted smear, slander, and backlash non stop for weeks now because many now conclude they are the nation’s problem.
There’s something called the Scapegoating Theory and it explains a lot.
Developed by sociologist Emile Durkheim, it essentially states that a group who feels illegitimately treated or oppressed or threatened would blame another out-group for their woes.
Most times, the target of the unfair blame would usually be lesser to them in terms of power.
This helps them to displace their frustrations against the real enemy whom they perceive they’re powerless against, on the scapegoat.
This shares close similarities with Sigmund Freud’s concept of displacement.
Displacement is why a man angry at his boss would yell at his wife for the slightest infraction.
He can’t touch his boss but he can dominate his wife.
It’s scapegoating and displacement.
It’s why Nazi Germany scapegoated the Jews for the perceived problems of Germany.
It’s why women were falsely killed as witches in the Middle Ages.
And it’s why a number of influencers on Twitter here and many Nigerians have not ceased attacking Christians, churches, pastors, and RCCG for the problems of the nation all week.
At a point this week, it became totally baffling to the logical mind.
Why are you attacking the church non stop for the woes of the nation?
If you made a list of the problems of Nigeria right now, pastor’s teaching on tithes, whether false or sound, would not make top 70.
If RCCG ceased to be an organization today and totally disappears from the earth, insecurity, corruption, inflation, low GDP etc;
which are Nigeria’s real problems would still be very much present.
Baba Adeboye is an old man. If the Lord calls him home today, guess what would happen tomorrow?
The current government would still spend 5 billion Naira on cars, close to 50 billion Naira for housing renovations, 90 billion Naira for Hajj pilgrimage, and 3 trillion Naira for fuel importation for 42 days.
If Baba Adeboye joins the Lord today and is buried, excessive borrowing, insecurity, lack of power and energy, and gross corruption would still ravage Nigeria.
The summary is that the church, pastors and their doctrine, RCCG are not causatively, correlatively, or remotely the problem of Nigeria.
It doesn’t matter what any church leader says or believes or who they support.
It is largely inconsequential to the problems of Nigeria.
So why the constant attack? It is the Scapegoating Theory and Displacement.
You’re looking at a group who believes the government, real enemy, has defeated them.
Protests seem not to work.
Petitions seem not to work.
2027 seems hopeless for them.
So they pick an opponent they can shred as an outlet for their frustration.
It is rather sad as such resolve only absolves our oppressors of consequences.
It is also a massive distraction and waste of social energy. The government wins this way.
And we all lose this way. Finally, we just thought to give an explanation to the events you as a Christian have observed lately.
We want you to filter out the noise. Do your best to stay afloat in these challenging times.
Criticize the government as constitutionally permissible. They are the oppressors.
Get your PVC. 2027 is a fight we can win.
As far as today is concerned, Peter Obi remains the choice candidate for the transformation of this nation.
We all backed him 2023, we still do. That said, ignore the noise about the church and pastors.
Those are the palpitations of cowards and the defeated.
The church marches on in Jesus name. Amen.
May God bless you.
@woye1@AlikoDangote@nnpclimited@FinMinNigeria@NMDPRA_Official Good morning, does NNPCL and NMDPRA have offices in all the refineries they buy imported PMS from? If the answer is no, then there is no justification for them to insist on having an office within the dangote refinery. Do we know how many others have shareholding in d refinery.
@ZEnoidem@therealchurchg1 This is the responsibility of your government, engage your LGA chairman, your state governor and the govt of the federation what they do with your taxes and other funds.
Building a manufacturing company is also within your right and duty, what have you done as an individual?
@FestusAdejoro@seunonigbinde Our peculiar challenges can be modified to suit our needs, The US is bigger in terms of land mass than Nigeria, were there is a will there will be a way. It's either we want things to improve or we keep making excuses. Electronic voting is our sure way out of this terrible cycle
@Savatarrr1@PastorNaija You will do better by holding your political leaders accountable for their actions that affects your life directly and indirectly, the church has not been the problem of the nation, but our deliberate amnesia to look for scapegoat for the country's leadership failure.
