@bimpe_azeezat The police kept postponing things till he was tired of the whole thing and just accepted his fate even after the police were able to track the exact location of the phone. Please try as much as possible to leave that environment first to keep yourself safe.
This is really awful and shameful.
It’s quite painful when pastors, or anyone in a position of respect in society, misuses their position to spew blatant nonsense. So let’s break this down:
The name “Mohbad” was not to say he was a bad delinquent person, the name Mohbad was a reference to his exceptional awesome talent. He was called “bad” because he was so good. The word “bad” depending on the context in today’s urban context can sometimes be used to mean someone/something that is very exceptional and amazing. A simple research into this by the pastor would have educated him on this.
People should learn to be kind and empathetic- especially pastors who should not be judgmental, who should always approach even people who are convicted criminals with a message of hope, forgiveness and a new beginning.
It’s quite sad that a 27year old man was bullied, harassed, beaten, tortured, held to ransom, received death threats, got no help from nobody including the police, essentially had a very turbulent life and eventually died in very suspicious circumstances that many people believe could have been a murder—- and all a pastor could do was make mockery of him while an idiotic congregation giggles.
And to think this character has nursed an ambition to be Nigeria’s president for many years now. What a shame. How do you have an opportunity to express empathy and pass no judgment but instead you choose the path of mockery, ridicule and senseless callous derision of a young dead man. Do you know how low you need to be to mock a dead helpless person?
This is really sad. This is really unfortunate. And this is a big disgrace to what true Christianity should be.
True Christianity should speak for the voiceless, fight for the helpless, and stand for the weak.
The Bible (which Christians hold as guide) gives us examples - in stories and in actions- how Jesus treats sinners. I won’t go into much details here in this post but for stories, any interested person should read about the prodigal son story, the lost coin story and the lost sheep story.
One example I particularly find very interesting is a woman who was accused of being found in adultery and she was dragged to Jesus for judgment (note that in those times, the judgment for adultery was death by stoning);
Jesus shocks everyone by simply saying anyone without sin should stone her. They all walked away. And that’s how she escaped sure death. Jesus later told her he didn’t condone the sin, she should sin no more and he left her to go.
This was the attitude of Jesus to a sinner- forgiveness and pardon for the person while encouraging them to turn away from the sinful actions. But if it was today’s pastors, they would have watched the woman stoned to death, then go to church on Sunday and mock and ridicule her death. This is a shame to be honest.
It is well. May God help us all.
As for me, I will continue to demand and request #JusticeForMohbad
Those who have lost their conscience and whose souls have lots its humanity can continue to mock a dead man who only deserves pity, empathy and compassion from us all.

We watched the crocodile break out of its shell
The Lion roared before it birthed
We've seen the mot grow into a butterfly
Through the thorns, the rain, the fire, and landslides
All at once
All together
A new generation and dispensation
