Pastor Oluremi Tinubu, what kind of Christian pastor remains silent when a prominent Muslim cleric in Kano declares that Nigeria belongs to Muslims, tells those who reject another Muslim-Muslim ticket to leave the country, and refers to Christians as “infidels”?

Some Christians may respond with “God forbid” and “God forgive him,” but prayer without courage and action becomes an excuse for silence. This was not an innocent theological remark. It was a public and exclusionary statement about who supposedly belongs in Nigeria. Such rhetoric deserves clear and unequivocal condemnation.

What is even more disturbing is the silence of Nigeria’s prosperity pastors—those who constantly present themselves as men of God, preach prosperity from expensive pulpits, and collect tithes and offerings from millions of Nigerians. When it is time to preach about giving, faith and miracles, their voices are everywhere. But when it is time to confront dangerous religious rhetoric and defend the dignity of fellow Christians, many suddenly become mute.

I keep asking myself: Why do some Christians in Nigeria become so silent precisely when their voices are most needed?

Some of these pastors are quick to criticise Catholic bishops when they speak against government failures, yet when a Muslim cleric makes an inflammatory statement about Christians, they suddenly have nothing to say.

Where is the courage? Where is the conviction? Where is the Christianity they preach every Sunday?

Nigeria belongs to neither Muslims nor Christians exclusively. It belongs to all Nigerians. No imam, pastor, president or political party has the authority to claim otherwise.

If a Christian cleric told Muslims to leave Nigeria, these same voices would rightly demand condemnation. So why the silence now?

Pastor Oluremi Tinubu and Nigeria’s supposedly fearless “men of God” cannot continue collecting tithes, receiving offerings and preaching the Word of God while remaining silent when that same moral courage is required outside the church walls.

Christianity is not merely what you preach from the pulpit. It is what you are willing to defend when defending it becomes uncomfortable.

We are in serious trouble as a country when religious leaders have louder voices for offerings than for principle.

And Nigerians are entitled to ask:

Where are the “men of God” when their voices actually matter?

Is this Christian leadership—or merely religious performance without moral courage?

lol... how you take know say she no sweet?

babe wey sweet na from the mouth you go take know.

Op I totally disagree with the number one on your list. There is nothing as sweet as sleeping with another man's wife. Othe people's wives give and go extra miles what your own wife cannot give you in terms of everything you can think of. Have you ever stole meat from your mom's pot of soup before? Do you know those feelings you feel when you've succeeded in stealing the meat, that's how it feels to sleep with another man's wife. Try it this week and see how it feels.

Some people can't think of anything in this life aside sex. God didn't create sex so you can enjoy it, but for you to procreate. No wonder sexual crimes are on the rise because people see sex as enjoyment.
