Obi suggested that excessive church vigils and gatherings detract from addressing the nation’s challenges, implying that they contribute to societal issues.
In his rebuttal, Joshua Bamiloye asserted that blaming church attendance for Nigeria’s problems is a misguided perspective.
He emphasized the importance of faith and the role of the church in providing hope, guidance, and community support.
Joshua’s comments have sparked discussions on social media about the relationship between religion, civic engagement, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute to societal change.
This exchange reflects broader conversations in Nigeria about the role of religious institutions in addressing social issues and the responsibilities of leaders in promoting national development.
