I was wished death yesterday for reminding the people of God what the Bible says.
A former leader of our country passed away. During his tenure, many atrocities were committed; lives lost, futures shattered, and entire generations scarred by hardship and injustice. The pain is valid. The anger is understandable.
But what shocked me was seeing Christians rejoicing over his death. I got endless replies especially quoting verses like Proverbs 11:10: “When the wicked perish, there is rejoicing.”
Since yesterday, I’ve been insulted, mocked, and attacked by both Christians and non-Christians, some even wished me death, because I said believers ought not to rejoice when the wicked perish.
Not because we approve of their actions, but because we carry the heart of Jesus and understand the weight of eternity and the eternal fate of an unsaved soul.
Yes, Proverbs 11:10 exists. Psalm 58:10, and even Exodus 15, where the Israelites sang after Pharaoh’s army drowned.
But not everything recorded in the Bible is something we’re meant to imitate.
Some passages are descriptive: they show us what people did. Others are prescriptive: they show us what God commands us to do.
Just because the Bible says people rejoiced doesn’t always mean we are meant to do the same.
The real question is: what did Jesus teach us to do?
He taught us to pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44),
-to bless those who curse us,
-to not repay evil for evil (Romans 12:17), and
-to not gloat when our enemy falls (Proverbs 24:17).
We forget: before we were saved, we too were the wicked. We were enemies of God, dead in sin, deserving of wrath (Ephesians 2:1–5). But God, in His mercy, reached out to us.
So no, don’t celebrate death, even of a wicked leader. Not because I approve of his actions, I don’t. I understand the impulse to rejoice. But this is about the state of our hearts. Do we want to look more like the world in our response, or more like Christ?

Dear fans, I want to please urge you to halt the cyber-bullying directed towards Alex Iwobi. Cyber bullying is not just a violation of decency but also a serious crime. It's hypocritical to claim that football unites us while engaging in such behavior.
Losing a game is undoubtedly tough, but targeting a single player for the team's shortcomings is unfair and unjust. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. Alex gave his all on the field, just like every member of our squad.
Instead of spreading negativity, let's show genuine love and support to our players. They need our encouragement now more than ever. Let's uplift each other and stand united, both in victory and defeat. 👏🦅🇳🇬 THANKS
