In Nigeria, to infract the law and escape
retribution be a cleric or a politician
under the sanctuary of the government of
the day. Pastors and imams emanate and
fecundate fake news and hate speech
without scruples because of some
seeming ‘’self-immunity’’ effectuated by
the sensitivity of religion here.


Clerics in the country defy the law
unabashedly and with unrestrained
arrogance. And when there is an attempt to
hold them to account the refrain becomes
‘’our religion is under attack’’ by
unbelievers.

On March 22, 2020, David Oyedepo,
founder of Living Faith Church, better
known as ‘’Winners’ Chapel’’, held services
against the advisory and restriction on
religious gathering by the Ogun state
government. This was at the time the figure
of COVID-19 cases in the country was
creeping.

The police were said to have advised the
bishop not to proceed with the religious
activities, but he ignored them and
persisted in his insouciance against lawful
authority.

Oyedepo even bragged at the service:
“Shutting down churches would be like
shutting down hospitals. There are many,
many places that would never have any
medical solution but in church.’’

Also, at the weekend, a televised falsehood
by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome rippled on social
media channels. The pastor claimed
coronavirus is illusory; that it is a grand
conspiracy of the bastions of a ‘’New World
Order’’, and that it is spawned by 5G – fifth
generation mobile technology.

Hear him: “Don’t think what is happening
right now has to do with a virus. It’s not a
virus. The world has chosen to be deceived.
As they have been deceived many times
before.

‘’If you still don’t yet know what is going on,
know today; it’s not about the coronavirus.
This is basically a group of people serving a
devilish cause trying to checkmate humanity
to hell. Don’t be ignorant, neither silent.

This isn’t a time to sit on the fence because
there is no fence. This isn’t about religion
because as you can see, there isn’t one
either. It boils down to two options: Life or
Death.’’

The pastor dug the pits of ignorance deeper
and cited a movie ‘Divergent’ to buttress his
claim.

‘’There’s a movie called ‘Divergent’ from
2014. That’s what the groups that are
interested in the new world order are up to,
to put vaccine in your body containing a
digital ID, by which you as a human being
can be controlled, you cease to be yourself,”
he said.

Not yet done, he re-affirmed himself in
another televised show of dopiness. He
claimed the federal government locked
down Abuja, Lagos and Ogun to install 5G,
icing the misinformation with fiction that 5G
technology killed people in Wuhan, China,
not coronavirus.

“The federal government was pushed to lock
down Abuja and Lagos specifically. Why?
Because of 5G in Abuja and Lagos. Because
they already tested 5G in Abuja and they’re
digging in Lagos,’’ he claimed.

“They’re engaged in the draining in Lagos.
That is why the federal government had to
shut down Abuja and Lagos so that the 5G
could be installed. And there are other
cities planned for.

“As I said before, what kills people in
Wuhan was not coronavirus. It was the 5G.
If you say it’s not, then tell us how you
discovered yours.”

This fish story by Oyakhilome catalysed and
even diffused through educated membranes
like native perfume. The implication of
which is a strain on the fight against
COVID-19 in the country. Since the famous
cleric said 5G technology is responsible for
coronavirus why should those taken in by
this fable take the necessary precautions
against the disease?

The Nigerian Communications Commission
(NCC) dispelled the inveracity –though I do
not think it is enough until Oyakhilome is
arrested and made to face the mortalities
of his crime of spreading injurious
misinformation.

To clear the fouled air, the NCC said: ‘’There
is no correlation between 5G Technology
and COVID-19. 5G is an advancement on
today’s 4G technology, designed to
transform the world positively. 5G is a fifth
generation of mobile technology which is an
improvement on today’s 4G technology with
enhanced capabilities. The 5G technology
provides the platform for new and emerging
technologies such as Internet of Things
(IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data
to improve the way we live and work.’’
The commission also explained in a
‘Frequently Asked Questions’ column that:

‘’5G technology will transform the world by
connecting everything with everybody. It will
create millions of jobs, it will add billions of
dollars to the economy (GDP), and can solve
some of our problems such as insecurity
and improve governance and efficiency in
the society.’’

On whether the radiation from 5G is
different from those of 2G, 3G and 4G? It
said: ‘’No, they all belong to the same class
of Non-ionizing Radiation.’’

Really, we live in a country where ordinary
citizens are harassed and hounded into
prison for ventilating their opinions under a
highly contentious law – Cybercrime Act.
Journalists and bloggers have been the
biggest casualties of this law. Why is
Oyakhilome not being charged under this
same law for misinformation? Is he above
the law?

As a matter of fact, what Oyakhilome has
done has the propensity of rolling back the
gains made in the fight against COVID-19
and also of derailing efforts at containing
the spread of the disease.

Also, I think what he has done can be
termed a terrorist act for its capability of
leading citizens astray to mass death and
certain doom. He should be held to
account. If he escapes the law on this, then
the government has no moral authority to
arrest any Nigerian who spreads fake news.

Honestly I also think he should be arrested.

It won't happen. He is in the league of the 'untouchables'. Immediately he is picked up his followers would turn it into a political/religious matter. They will even further attribute such arrest as a 'prophesied' sign and wonder of the 'end-times'.

The existence of his likes confirms to me that there's no 'God' anywhere. How can a real, good and powerful god allow his likes to continue using his name to not only enrich themselves but also deceive multiple millions without consequences??

Oyakhilomen is a fraudster right from his university days.
Unfortunately, he can't be arrested due to freedom of speech.

He is a well-known womanizer who started with embezzling fellowship funds
and threatening members who dare question him.

He then graduated to hiring actors for his "atmosphere for miracles" or forcing people
to claim they are healed while he neglects them after the show.

OBJ was so furious at his deceptions that he banned airing miracles on TV.

Due to his dwindling fortunes and inability to stage believable "miracles",
he needed to reinvent himself and what better times than this Coronavirus episode?

As an experienced scammer, he couldn't let the opportunity to escape him just like Dino.
Chris is now a conspiracy loony hiding behind the pastor's robe.

Remember that he is a liar, adulterer, and divorcee. By their fruit, you shall know them.

Your hate for pastors will kill you in no distant time. Tell us the last time Oyedepo did Sunday service, March 22. Why single out Pastor Oyedepo without mentioning Imams in the Northern part of the country that are still worshiping till last week. Pastor Chris Oyakilomhe is entitled to his opinion and he's not the only person that believe in that conspiracy theory. So the writer of this mess should keep shut

Jealousy no go kill these people o.

I don't see why the foolish writer tagged pastor Chris when he hasn't in anyway disregarded the government/laws, all he did was air his opinion on the controversial 5g.

And i don't see why the op would turn it to a Chris Oyakilome thread (we have seen oyedepo insult the government and disregarded it's laws and heaven didn't fall)

We have seen Junaid Mohammed threaten the peace of this country alongside his muric slave

These pastors and priests can rape someone right in the church and go scot free and some people will like to imagine there is a god sitting in space watching all of that and doing absolutely nothing. What a piece of crap.

Its amazing how fools speak of such things they know not...
People just sit in the comfort their homes and type unrealistic none sense without evidences, my question for you would be; when did he scam you, how much was it whether in kind or cash, please hope you reported to the police? If you have no credible answers to these, please stop talking for the sake of talking because it's practically intelligentsia and makes people look stupid. Thank you
