It's disheartening the level as it which the church has been persecuted, particularly in Nigeria. The church was called all sorts of names by people who felt that churches were against the cushioning of the effect of the Corona virus. Most churches cooperated with the government by closing down their physical churches and turning to the internet to beam services to it's members.
It is disheartening that now that it's business as usual in all spheres of endeavors, it's only the church that is being prevented from opening.
A trip throughout Lagos, Ogun state and other parts of the country, you will see how markets, bars and the lot are beaming with activities with little or no masks or social distancing.
It's on this note that i think it's injurious to keep the churches locked up. Christians must stand and have their voices heard on this obvious persecution of the church.
