Senior Pastor and Founder of The Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade, has stirred mixed reactions after he stated that Nigerians are being programmed to hate their country.

While preaching in his church, the cleric opined that living conditions and operating businesses in Nigeria is better when compared to the US.

He said;. ‘’People are being programmed to hate their country which is ‘self hatred’. I was in America and I sat down with some Nigerians and they started. I told them that in Nigeria, a person will graduate as a medical doctor and spend N500, 000 throughout to become a doctor and they are working. You will graduate from John Hopkins as a doctor and you spend $2000, are you okay? Do you know how much money you will spend?

I said to them in Nigeria, if you tell a Nigerian to do two jobs he will curse your life out. He will come to America, wake up in the morning, do first job, do second job, do Uber…I said if they put the fraction of this energy they put here in their country, they would have blown. They kept quiet''

He recounted how one of the branches of his church in Yaba organized a tradefair and how some of the church members made great returns. He argued that such people would not have made such great returns if the tradefair were to have been organized in the US.

If this country were truly good, men like Pastor Poju wouldn’t have risen as loudspeakers of delusion. Let’s not twist the narrative—Nigerians aren’t programmed to hate their country, they’re reacting to a nation that has failed them at every turn.

You don’t expect a people shackled in generational chains, starved of justice, and abandoned by leadership to sing lullabies about rot. This isn’t self-hatred—it’s survival instinct. It’s the voice of the battered crying out from the belly of a broken system.

Get serious, Pastor. If the house is burning, you don’t rebuke the one yelling “fire”—you quench the flames.

Pastor Poju is deliberately comparing d school fees of schools like Ekiti State University to Harvard University. It's obvious that no matter how intelligent one is, U must sound like an idiot to defend failure. Prof Wole is also an example.

Our hospitals are mere clinics, inflation is outrageous, hunger & poverty is mind blowing, u dare not travel at night, insecurity is alarming, d roads are beyond terrible, power supply is in comatose, the currency is like tissue paper. There are a plethora of issues affecting this great country that need all sensible people to speak truth to power & demand good governance & accountability.

Pastor Poju & his likes will, however turn blind eyes to all these hardships and start shutting down those that are trying to even do the least of complaining. Pastor Poju sets up the platform to bring sensible minds together to find solutions & speak truth to power on all these economic & social vices affecting d country.

These economic hardships are now occurring in an alarming rate that has completely wiped out the middle class in just two years of this despicable govt. Pastor Poju, if u can't speak truth to power anymore, the least u can do is to be quiet rather than gaslighting people's realities.

This gaslighting of the people's pain is not Christ's teachings. These are teachings from d pit of hell. You all keep proving those that call the church the spiritual arm of this despicable govt right. @Oyesanyayomi

Gaslighting people with misinformation because you have their offering and tithes to depend on. He can’t relate to the struggles of the ordinary people in Lagos not to talk of Nigerians in America.
