The comment “How many Nigerian politicians’ accounts have you frozen? Hypocrites” came after the UK froze over 100 bank accounts linked to MFM Church over allegations of financial mismanagement. While the commenter’s frustration about political corruption is understandable, the statement diverts attention from the main issue — the church’s alleged misuse of charity funds. Instead of demanding accountability from both sides, it shifts the narrative to a comparison that excuses wrongdoing. Corruption should be condemned everywhere, whether in politics or religion. Deflecting blame only weakens the collective fight against financial misconduct and reinforces a culture of selective outrage.
