Omoyele Sowore, activist and former presidential candidate, has sparked fresh online debate after criticizing some Nigerian pastors and the role of churches.

In his words, many people become pastors because they couldn’t succeed in other careers or don’t want to do “serious work.” He also shared a personal encounter with a popular pastor, saying he suggested turning the pastor’s church into a hospital for one year to save lives. According to Sowore, the pastor got upset and has avoided him since.

His comments have triggered mixed reactions online, with many people agreeing and others calling the statement unfair and insulting.

In Ghana, crowds filled Accra as the Union Jack came down and the new Ghana flag went up in March 1957. ()
In Nigeria, the same kind of historic midnight happened on October 1, 1960 in Lagos as the British flag was lowered and the green white green was raised. ()

These flag raising moments were not just ceremonies. They were a message to the world: we are free.

On Thursday morning, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency announced that it had referred a case involving popular Nigerian singer Simisola, known as Simi, to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and a special task force for preliminary investigation.

The agency’s Executive Secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, shared this during an interview with Channels TV. She explained that the decision followed concerns raised over tweets Simi posted between 2012 and 2014.

Over the past week, the singer has been under heavy criticism on social media. The controversy began after she joined ongoing conversations about sexual assault in Nigeria. Soon after, some social media users dug up her old tweets and questioned them.

As the discussion grew, Simi responded by saying her past posts were taken out of context. According to her, people misquoted and misunderstood what she meant at the time.

Now, with the matter officially referred to the police for investigation, many are waiting to see how the situation will unfold.
