PASTOR ADEFARASIN – I BEG TO DIFFER
I know this one is very touchy o. Does not like yabis o. The last time I yabbed him he didn’t like it o. But how can I not comment on his latest video that has gone viral? He said some very strong things there. Populist talk and hot breeze after which everybody will go home, bathe, eat, make love, and forget about the whole thing. You see, my problem with all this talk which is plenty in this country is the totally wrong but wholly acceptable notion that robust change has to come from government or leadership. This is the narrative that continues to kill us in this country. It is wrong and misleading. The government needs help. They, too, are in trouble. Can’t you even see it in the way they are doing things? We have the freedom to rebuild this country from the bottom-up, and the government will not have a choice but to begin to do what they are expected to do, which is to create an enabling environment for private wealth to grow. Pastor, it is not the government’s job to provide jobs. The lacklustre atmosphere that hovers around our head is not the government’s job to remove it. Are you not American? Didn’t you hear what JFK said? ‘Ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you.’ Buhari is not the problem. We are the problem. We are the fools; we are the ones waiting for manna to come and drop from the sky, and the government will come and share it for us. Mbok, let’s wake up and smell the coffee. Government cannot do it. We will have to do it ourselves. Is it the government that built your multibillion-naira church that looks like Noah’s ark? Is it the government
that is running it for you, creating jobs and impacting? No. So why would you be waiting for the government even for the little that you can do? Nigerians should please start looking inwards because if we continue waiting for this jagajaga government, we will wait forever. So pastor, kindly change that your narrative or just stay in the lane you better understand. Let’s be talking about King Solomon and try to understand how without Viagra, he was able to achieve those things they said he did in the Bible. I don run o.
