Pastor Johnson Suleman, senior pastor and general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has urged Nigerians to focus on addressing bad leadership and lawlessness in the country, rather than blaming religion or the church.
In a video shared on social media, Suleman emphasized that the church is not the problem and that Nigerians should stop the hate against the church and ‘men of God’.
He noted that many countries more religious than Nigeria are developing rapidly due to good leadership and a lack of lawlessness, highlighting the importance of ensuring law and order in the country.
Suleman believes that the church is under attack as part of a broader trend, with selective outrage directed specifically at Christianity, while other religions or traditional practices are overlooked.
He argued that the root of Nigeria’s problems lies in bad leadership and lawlessness, not religion, and that people who have left the church should be indifferent rather than channeling their energy into hating the church.
Suleman acknowledged that while there are fake pastors, there are also many sincere men of God, and that critics often highlight flaws within the church while overlooking the good.
He urged Nigerians to shift their focus away from anger towards the church, stating that constant attacks won’t solve anything and may even cause health problems.
Suleman concluded that the church will continue to thrive despite individual opinions and that it’s more constructive to change mindsets and focus on solutions that benefit the country.
