VeryDarkMan calls out Nigerian Christian clerics
Following Trump’s threat, VeryDarkMan, in a video on Monday, November 3, shared a viral clip of a Nigerian pastor speaking against the killing of Christians, as he begged the US for help.
According to VeryDarkMan, the pastor in the clip was among the few who spoke up about the insecurity in Nigeria. He added that the video was what attracted the attention of the US.
He also criticised prominent Nigerian clerics like Pastor EA Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, Tunde Bakare, Pastor Paul Enenche, and other fathers of faith, questioning why they didn’t mount pressure on President Tinubu to address the insecurity before external bodies got involved.
VeryDarkMan also slammed the clerics for always calling for prayers rather than taking concrete actions.
“Pastor Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, and Tunde Bakare have a lot of influence to pressure President Tinubu to solve the killings in Nigeria, but they all keep quiet because their brother is the president. But when Goodluck Jonathan was in power, Pastor Adeboye protested,” VeryDarkMan said in the video.

"It's disheartening that the religious are political dogs or being politicized. It's time we tell ourselves the truth: the killing of Christians is supposed to be the matter being tabled in the church by most of our popular religious leaders."
