First, he lamented the situation in Kaduna state where he said people can no longer travel to either by air, car or train.
He queried the issue of oil theft and also asked questions concerning who is siphoning Nigeria's oil wealth. He capped it by raising the issue of debt serving and the fact that the government is still prepared to borrow more. Nigerians took it from there and it immediately went viral and dominated discussions online.
Leke Adeboye calls pastors goats
As if he was waiting for his father to drop the mic, popular pastor, Leke Adeboye said it was not supposed to be that after Daddy GO (his father, Pastor E.A. Adeboye) has preached, pastors in parishes still mount the rostrum and deliver a separate sermon. According to him, it was supposed to be that the service comes to an end. He broke the table when he called such pastors goats.
Leke has since been sanctioned by the RCCG for his comments. He has also come online to render an apology.
Pastor W.F. Kumuyi cautions female choristers for wearing jackets to minister
Later in the week, it was reported that a respected pastor of the Deeper Life Bible Church , W.F. Kumuyi cautioned female choristers who wore jackets to minister at a crusade said to have been held in Beyelsa state.
The pastor also warned other church members not to copy the dressing pattern as the norm. Of course, social media took it from there and some questioned the pastors preaching. But others insisted that that was what Deeper Live has always stood for, saying nothing new was said.
In conclusion, there is hardly a week that will pass without one topic or the other coming from the church. Many of them stir public consciousness on important topics. An example is the questions raised by pastor Adeboye which led to some serious discussions online.
