Popular Nigerian blogger and social media personality, MC Orobo, has sparked a heated discussion after publicly defending two prominent Nigerian pastors, Pastor Korede Komaiya of The Master’s Place International Church and Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA.
In a fiery statement, Orobo condemned the growing trend of online criticism and cyberbullying directed at pastors, describing it as “madness” and labelling the critics as “hypocrites.” He passionately argued that everyone has a right to their faith and belief system, adding that freedom of religion must be respected.
“You can’t teach me what to believe, and I can’t believe exactly as you do,” Orobo stated. “This unnecessary and unprovoked attack on pastors must stop. It’s below standard, and we won’t sit back and let it continue.”
The blogger also called for an end to what he perceived as unwarranted harassment and cyberbullying of church leaders. Orobo insisted that critics should focus on constructive dialogue rather than resorting to “name-calling” or questioning the legitimacy of pastors’ faith-based teachings.
The statement has sparked a mixed reaction online, with some applauding Orobo’s bold defense of religious leaders, while others questioned the motivations behind his remarks. Nevertheless, the conversation highlights the ongoing tension between critics of megachurch pastors and their supporters.
As the debate continues to rage, Orobo’s remarks serve as a reminder of the sensitive balance between free speech and respect for religious beliefs in a diverse society like Nigeria.
