Nigerian Pastors Do Not Want A Better Nigeria - Eric (Wilmasha)

The comment, “Phoolish lots. And you expect people like this to fight for good governance?” in response to Nigerian churches encouraging believers to find positivity in hardship, carries a negative impact by ridiculing a core aspect of faith. While the message of hope during struggles is meant to uplift and help believers stay resilient, dismissing it as foolish undermines the emotional and spiritual support that many find valuable in their religious communities.

This comment also introduces an unfair connection between personal faith and political engagement, implying that spiritual beliefs hinder the ability to fight for societal change. In reality, many people balance their faith with active efforts for better governance. By attacking both religious perspectives and social responsibilities, the statement fosters division and encourages a sense of contempt, which can weaken efforts to build unity and constructive dialogue in addressing larger societal issues.
