Morning All,

How you all doing? over the past couple of weeks, Nigeria has being without leadership. However i expect at least our Christian leaders to speak up for the rights of the masses and very few of them has since done that. We saw Tunde Bakare protesting in Abuja and the head of the Anglican communion in Nigeria Jasper Akinola has also done the same. I am just wondering, what are the likes of RCCG, Winners Chapel, Chosen etc doing for the rights of the masses? Is it that they can only pray, do revival, collect offering and tithes, then they keep 'mum' when we expect that they act as a pressure group. I think we need to evaluate the leaders of Christianity as a whole, if you cannot defend the oppressed from the oppressors then you are nothing but a business man. What do you think?

Dat's true, how come Adeboye and other wave making pastors never stand up for the rights of the oppressed despite all the billions they are making from them.

I think say somebody create a similar thread too

Just looked thru the hyperlink you provided and i can see similaries, but it baffles me that the new testament said Christianity is not of meat and drink, but of persecution and long suffering. If you are a Christian leader and you are afraid of the butt of the gun or a jail sentence for public disobedience because you are exercising your human rights, then you shouldn't call yourself a Christian leadder since you are not happy to suffer. What do you think?
