A man shared how a church his father invested heavily in abandoned his family during a time of need, explaining why he stopped attending. His story sparked heated debate online about faith, accountability, and institutional failure.
One comment compared the situation to education, saying: “Una go go school, lecturer go misbehave, una go ignore still dey go school, but small offence from your pastor, una go leave church…”
This comparison is dismissive and unfair. It trivializes genuine hurt caused by the church by implying the man overreacted. While institutions may have flaws, abandoning a community that failed one’s family in a critical moment is a valid response. Pain from betrayal—especially in spaces meant to provide support—is real and deserves acknowledgment, not minimization through unrelated analogies.
