PREACHERS BY DAY, PANT CHASERS AT NIGHT… HOW TOP ARTISTE, TIMI DAKOLO EXPOSED ABUJA PASTOR

When they speak, their words leap from their lips to meld with the spiritual halo around their frame to entice all and sundry; then there is the saintly scent that wafts from their cloths which complements their dandy dress sense and often exaggerates sophistication. They are in truth, self-professed prophets of God with eternal love for the world.

To these dandy pastors, every adherent becomes quarry to be preyed upon; the ladies in particular. But most members of the congregation are ignorant about the scandal they perpetrate right under their nose. Christendom is rife with stories about lecherous pastors; false shepherds with unrestrained libido.

Many of them are licentious to the bones; add this to their manipulative and often dictatorial tendencies and you have a perfect picture of contemporary priesthood - Pentecostal priesthood to be precise. These pastors are more interested in the female segments of their congregations and they leer at them lecherously, like predators salivating for the prey. You couldn’t have forgotten so soon some weeks ago, when popular artiste, Timi Dakolo took on a popular Abuja pastor, “Your Abuja Pastor you people are shouting mentor and praising everywhere should be in jail. The amount of pain and ruins he has left innocent girls in, forcely taking away their innocence when in their teenage years... forever leaving a deep dent in the soul… man of which God?” Curiously, however, those who are in the know learn to contain whatever outrage and discontent they may feel; ultimately, they keep shut simply because it is not in their place nor is it their obligation to call out the fraudulence of their esteemed “man of God.” These Nigerian clerics frequently affirm renowned poet, Alfred Tennyson’s ageless witticism about the curate who outrageously looms fatter than his cure.
