Portable Berates Nigerian Pastors’ Silence Amid Attacks


Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has criticised Nigerian pastors for their continued silence in the face of genocidal attacks on Christians

Portable’s criticism comes after a suspected jihadist militia launched a fresh assault on Christians on Palm Sunday in Jos, Plateau State.

New Telegraph reports that the development has revived outrage regarding accusations of Christian genocide in Nigeria, which the Federal Government has continued to refute.

Following the deadly attack in Jos, Portable took to his social media page to criticise Nigerian pastors for hypocrisy, claiming they use bulletproof cars for their own protection yet remain silent when their congregants are killed by terrorists.

He stated that he cannot understand why Nigerian pastors aren’t leading protests in light of the ongoing killings of Christians by alleged Islamic terrorists.

The Zazu crooner asserted that Islamic leaders wouldn’t be as silent as Nigerian pastors if Muslims faced similar attacks

Speaking in a mix of Yoruba and Pidgin in a video broadcast, Portable said, “Why are Nigerian pastors not fighting for Christians? They use bulletproof cars, yet their followers are dying.

“Why can’t pastors lead a protest to the Aso Rock? You can’t harm a Muslim, and there won’t be chaos. If you kill a traditionalist, there will be a crisis. But if you kill a Christian, the pastor will look away and enjoy in his car.”
