The internet user further suggested that Nigerian Christianity needs some reflection and accountability.

He wrote:

"Nathaniel Bassey blocked me, tell me, is that Christ-like? If Jesus had social media in his time, would he be blocking people for having differing opinions? This right here is why I keep saying Nigerian Christianity needs a serious audit. We’ve lost the essence."

"The block button is used to set boundaries. I also block people who insult me or try toe that line or keep pestering me without understanding . I've had people block me too, it's no issue. Yes, I'm a preacher of the gospel.
Is it Christ like? Yes! Jesus walked away from situations that are toxic or could easily become violent. Even Apostle Paul and Apostle Barnabas had to "block" each other for a while to avoid reoccurring conflicts. It's a way of "pursuing peace with all men" without getting aggravated by the other person's behaviour. I don't know what happened between you and Pastor Nath, but one thing I know is that anyone is permitted to block so far it's their personal account."

"Unfortunately for you, Pst Bassey isn’t Jesus Christ and no one can be compared to Jesus the perfect one. But that doesn’t mean it’s cool for him to block you as he’s a public figure in the body of Christ. The question now is what did you do? Then we can judge since you’ve brought it to us."

"He is HUMAN! He is not JESUS! If you disturb his peace he has every right to block you so you wont make him do what he ordinarily wont want to do!! Peace be still."
