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.
