Lagos, Nigeria
No be small wahala wey dey happen as Deeper Christian Life Ministry don comot mouth for viral report wey claim say their General Superintendent, Pastor William Kumuyi, don accuse United States say dem wan carry Nigeria natural resources go like say na their own. Na serious matter wey dey disturb many people o! This gist come out from Ibom Focus, wey some people dey call a faceless platform of fake news creatives.
For statement wey dem post on Pastor Kumuyi’s verified X account, dem show say di news na total fabrication. Di statement talk say, “Deeper Christian Life Ministry #dclmhq condemn am in di strongest terms. Di headline: ‘America dey try to steal our natural resources; There is no Christian genocide for Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi,’ na just wetin dem created for their imagination.” (Somebody don carry dem crown for creative writing!)
Dem also clarify say Pastor Kumuyi no dey even Nigeria recently. Dis man of God dey busy for Oceania region and Far East, so how e go fit do press conference for Lagos? Dem no fit catch am like say na keke wey dey move for street.
But wait, dem talk say, Pastor Kumuyi no dey follow politics. Na only gospel e dey preach. Dem fit vex if person dey use am to politicize matter wey e no get hand in. If no be so, Pastor no go come enter example like say he be politician. Na true pastor e be, no be say e be NGO!
Further more, di church don advise anybody wey wan carry fake news about di General Superintendent to abeg comot eye for di kind mischief. Dem dey ready to take serious action if you try am again. E no go better for you! E go be like say you don sign ticket to wahala land.
This whole palaver come at a time wey people dey face serious talk about Nigeria and America relationship. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump don talk say dem fit send soldiers enter Nigeria ‘guns-a-blazing’ if di Nigerian government no stop di alleged killing of Christians. Some Nigerians dey hail di gist, but some well-meaning folks like activist Omoyele Sowore dey warn say military intervention no go solve di issue. E fit make things dey worse!
Na so di matter be. Everybody dey try figure out wetin dey happen next. Meanwhile, Pastor Kumuyi dey continue for hin Global Crusade with Kumuyi, wey recently hold event for Fiji, Solomon Islands, and even Pakistan. E no carry di wahala for head, him dey carry di gospel go reach di world. Das why we go continue to dey pray for our church leaders make dem no enter di ground for politics. E no dey easy for dem.
