Netizens attacks pastor Poju, let’s take a look at some of the comments
@kummydrey:Pastor Poju Oyemade is blocking people because they are calling out his sermon, which encourages Believers to accept CORRUPTION or MANIPULATION and move on like nothing happened.
@oeikana:If only every #Nigerian was like me, so many of these criminals called ‘men of God’ would have run out of business by now. While the Nigerian State continues to fund the criminality of politicians, Nigerians on the other hand are funding the lifestyles of lying Pastors.
@vhee:Do you ppl want them to close down his business center, sorry church in lagos and abuja ni….poju my man block 🚫 everybody 😆
@Seth:They always have their business center in choiced areas of the state, they don’t go to remote areas to propagate the gospel.
@kalu:H.E Peter Obi said “and if it’s the will of God, it should come from a just source” ….. funny how alot of pastors can’t make the same statement.
