Is He The Last Rational Religious Figure Of Nigeria? by Nobody: 9:38pm On Dec 25, 2017
Is Daddy Freeze the only rational religious figure in Nigeria?

I just watched this video of him. He makes sense. He mentions the fuel queues, the minimum wages of various countries. Great preaching.

Nature is really using Freeze to achieve the mind evolution that is ongoing in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Soon the sheeple will start using their brains. It's the era of brain-using. I love Freeze every bit.

He is really a progressive religious man. He has an insight I would not have expected him to have.

I, as a former pentecostal pastor, must recognize his brand of christianity is sound.

I wouldn't say he's the last or first. He's just the only one so far that Nigerians have listened to, even those that don't agree with what he says. All the others, Nigerians have ignored.

He is not a religious figure. He is more of a non-conformist when it comes to issues that intertwine religious views and reality.

He is definitely a religious figure. I did not say spiritual, I said religious.

He has followership, he preaches, has influence, explains the bible. I do not see any reason why He would not considered a religion figure. He was even named among the most influential religious figures of nigeria in 2017 in some magazine I saw online.

before the advent of his tithe-related outcry, ha us not known to discus religious dogmas.
Followership.... Dat is based on his profession as a presenter
He preaches..... Where exactly does he do dat? In cool FM?
Has influence...... Even some unreligious people do have influence
Explains d bible..... Anybody can explain d bible. U don't have to be religious to do that.

Whether you agree with Freeze views or not, the guy has been very influential. All the major Pastors in Nigeria spoke to him or about him, so what else do you need?

Everyone becomes influential because of a single act. Did anybody know about Martin Luther (the german) before the 95 thesis of the Wutenberg? Was the american society aware of Dr King jr. before his outcry against social injustice and discrimination?

He preaches online (Instagram and youtube live videos) viewed by thousands. You dont need a church building in order to be influential. Davido recently agreed to join his TAP challenge, and that is not a small feat.

All the major preachers of nigeria, except but a few, spoke to him and about him, directly and indirectly. That is influence in the religious sphere.

Anybody can explain the Bible indeed. He does so not any worse than Adeboye or Suleiman.

am not disputing his influential figure. But referring to him as a religious figure is not it. All d major preachers spoke to Buhari and about Buhari doesn't make Buhari a religious figure.
Talking rationally about a singular controversial aspect of a religion doesn't make u a religious figure. And by the way tithing has always been a controversial issue. Freeze only used his profession as a presenter to make it more popular

- They (the prophets) did not talk to Buhari in virtue of his religious positions/opinions, but as a (potential) head of state of the nation.

- Freeze spoke (and still speaks) about various religious issues and dogmas. He spoke about Glossolalia and xenoglossia, about universalism ( the theology of universal salvation/reconciliation with God through love), about Biblical inerrancy, about prophecy and prophets, about divorce and remariage, about the new covenant, about the worship in spirit and truth, etc. Did you really research the guy? Dont limit yourself to what he does in cool fm (which I hardly listen to for obvious reasons). And don't limit yourself to the tithing issue.

Will you say Adelaja is not a religious figure because he now teaches in online videos? Or that Uber is not a transportation because it has no car?

- The same could be said about Ghandi, King, and so on. They were never the first to stir up the controversy, but someone always brings it to the forefront.

FREEZE IS CERTAINLY THE ONLY RATIONAL RELIGIOUS FIGURE IN NIGERIA FOR NOW. ALL OTHERS ARE GRADUALLY LOOSING THEIR GRIP OF THE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PREACH WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR, PERHAPS SATISFYING PEOPLE'S ITCHING EARS FETCH THEM SO MUCH WEALTH THEY ARE NOT READY TO LET GO BY SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
