In the light of PMB purported speech impairment and loss of hearing, the Acting President told his audience while commemorating fathers' day in Abuja, that corruption may continue to be with us if the church continues to offer succour and protection to members who are bleeding the country to death.

Fearing that the nation may not ressurect from timely death, pastor Osibajo has called on church leaders to ostracise and expose their members who grow rich through fraudulent means. And also to stop telling worshippers to give; adding “but we need to talk more about honesty”.

Being a former prosecutor and a senior pastor in one of the richest parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, he must have been appalled at the rate the state is losing clear cut cases against corruption in the courts. I share Osibajo’s consternation at his dismay with his two constituency-the church and court who jointly seem to have betrayed the fight against corruption. The question is that does the Acting President have a case?

Already, reactions are beginning to come from other men of God who are visibly enraged at the “former pastor” attempt at spoiling ‘business'. And some wonder why the pastor is not removing the speck in his eyes rather than taking a dig at the log in the church’s eye. Similarly, they see the Presidential pastor’s exposure of the church as casting the first stone in the midst of those who think they are without sins. Not the congregation.

With the way worshippers throng the churches during weekdays, you begin to wonder where is  our manpower that is meant to drive production and the country's economy? We now have a bunch of timid followership whose reasoning faculty is suspended in allegiance to the serving and deservingly rich pastors. I have nothing against the pastors riding the waves becuase, for you to be duped, you must possess an element of greed too. We are gullible because the modern day theology of tithing and offering is built on fear and greed, but it works!

The judiciary arm is no better; the acting President knows, and that is why he thinks judgement must starts from his house. The other  pastors whose churches are built not on the rock  however know that the only place you get judged without being prosecuted is in the Bible. And with that knowledge, they continue to exploit the masses, protect the looters and pray that the coming of the Lord tarries.

In the days to come, we may have to touch the annointed if they will not stop touching our collective inheritance in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the people say…?
