"if not that we are an unintelligent race, why would an educated person, compare a church event slated for improving the state of the country and a mere entertainment concert. With so much audacity Are these two events serving the same purpose???"

"Mugu show me when they will say pray for Nigeria and your leaders.
No one is against religious gatherings. We are against the foolishness.
When pastors and people should speak they ask you to go pray for your leaders, pray for economy."
