No Pastor In Nigeria Has A Working Brain 🧠 - Henry Obidike

A statement credited to popular cleric Prophet Odumeje praised a political figure for wanting freedom for Hausas, Yorubas, and Igbos. The message divided opinions, but one comment ignored the substance and took a swipe at an entire community: “The only pastor with a working brain.”

That’s not praise—it’s collective insult packaged as compliment. Declaring every other pastor in Nigeria “brain-dead” fuels unnecessary hostility, deepens public distrust in faith leaders, and normalizes tearing others down to uplift one person. Words like this influence young audiences to equate bold opinions with superiority and dialogue with disdain.

Not agreeing with pastors is fine. Suggesting they lack functioning brains? That’s intellectual prejudice, emotional immaturity, and a glaring red flag.

Respectful critique builds reform. Mockery builds resentment.
