This year began well, we made declarations 
and we are seeing the power of the 
Holy Spirit working in us. 
And you, for retweet and without any 
evidence whatsoever decide that you will 
start the year writing a thread about a 
pastor who did nothing personally to 
offend you… 
Because he is the hot topic of the day, 
you had to have a go!
Now you have people retweeting and 
commenting but they wouldn’t have 
done all that if you had been wise enough 
to investigate the matter and expose 
the truth or keep your mouth shut.
When will you learn not to be the 
undoing of your own rise by keeping your 
mouth where it ought to be?
If a pastor is doing evil, expose him and 
ensure that it is done from a place of love
I do this often, without remorse, especially 
because I love the Lord and cannot 
watch as a thief or hireling misled his sheep 
John wrote the epistles in response to 
Cerinthus, a heretic who denied the virgin 
birth and insisted Christians must follow 
the Mosaic law
Apostle Paul didn’t hesitate to call Peter 
out in the book of Galatians
There was nothing like “Touch not my
 anointed” in that but to write like an 
Amalekite claiming to have killed Saul is
a very unwise thing to do.
Believers must watch out for these 
pitfalls and refuse to be led by the nose 
into them
There is punishment for a pastor who 
mis-use the sheep and in the same vein 
you cannot scandalize a minister and 
expect your head to rest on your neck in 
peace (Not my words pls, David said this 
to Solomon about Shimea)
It is not everyone that attends a church 
that will feel at home in that church, that 
you didn’t feel comfortable in a church or 
fellowship doesn’t give you the right to 
write rubbish about the church
Pastors also grow!
There are some things a young pastor 
could do in error that as he grows he will 
get wiser and regret plus never do again.
I worked with a pastor once who had 
issues with land grabbers, the things he 
did to secure his land that year were mad! 
The elders of that church had to write 
to him that they had no hand in his action 
but he stayed the course and built the 
church. 
Years later, he would say “I will never tow 
that path again”
Many who saw what he did the first time 
could have gone about saying all sorts 
about him but their words would today 
be rubbish!
He was no longer like that.
If you are not a direct victim or furnished 
with concrete evidence of wrong, please 
keep away
Do not be a partaker of any man’s sin.
It is all fun now to throw stones at him and 
feel all vindicated but if he had 
done no wrong, your action will not be 
seen as harmless.
Would it be worth it? To peg your own 
growth and rise for 1000 retweets and 
2000 likes?
Really?
Is your self esteem that low?
I am forever glad that God didn’t call me 
into a conventional ministry where I have 
to run a church
Thank you Jesus 
I would have failed you woefully.
You are very mindful of me
Pastors are victims of a different sort 
nowadays, they are at the mercy of every 
empty head who can type on Twitter
Imagine this!
I employed a driver whom I met on Twitter,
 he was desperately in need of a job and 
he lied to me that he was living close to 
my house
After he got the job, he would tell me all 
sorts of stories to get money out of me
If his daughter was not sick, his 
wife’s mother would be down
He was not driving me directly, and yet 
I ended up paying more than his salary 
every month whether he worked or not
Whenever I dared to protest, he would 
say “You’re a public figure sir, how do 
you think people will take it if I show 
them how my life is on Twitter.
He was always sending pictures of 
one pathetic situation or the other and 
he would ask for support, help, whatever 
without thinking of my own well-being or 
even if I could afford it or not
When I was a staff member of a church, 
I know how entitled all the staff members 
were
We were always assuming that because it 
is a church, we can do whatever and get 
away with it
The church does not want a scandal and 
people are the breeding ground for scandals
This driver eventually told me he was 
leaving after a while
The month he did, he demanded 
for two months pay and I obliged him
I just wanted to see him gone, since 
that time I stopped employing drivers and 
other staff members directly so that 
I won’t find myself in such a snare 
anymore
If he comes to this street screaming 
my name now, many who didnt even 
know me will start screaming blue 
murder
This is the nature of Twitter, a place 
where autopsy report is still being 
disputed despite providing irrefutable 
proof of the cause of a death of a young 
man
People want blood and once they sink 
their teeth in emotion, logic must hang!
Imagine someone employed by a church 
and sacked
The church decides that the person should 
give up church property and vacate his or 
her official residence
Next thing, it is the pastor’s fault!
One man of God sacked 1000 pastors for 
their incompetence, Twitter responded 
by saying “It is the house 
of God so they should have been kept”
If you tweet A, some people will be 
replying in Latin, and you’d start wondering 
what you wrote and what they read!
A guy commented on a lady’s breast 
both of them came to Twitter to report it
The comments were like engine oil in the rain! 
The age of spin!
The feet of clay
A pastor advised male pastors not to 
employ members of the female gender as 
their secretaries/PA anymore
He was roasted on Twitter that day
On the same Twitter a lady boasted that 
she would end her Pastor boss’s career in 
a week if he does not give in to her demand
She said she would drag him from 
Abakaliki to Kano and she is sure everyone 
will believe her
I pity pastors a lot, once they are in the 
crosshairs of these woke people, everything 
they touch is a scandal
What am I even saying?
I have made it to instablog 
And PSM in the last two months over 
incidents that didn’t really make sense 
as news
The age of spin and herd mentality
I remember one lady saying “I am waiting 
for him to come and explain himself” as a 
comment on a thread someone did about me
I couldn’t believe it…
Joblessness 
and foolishness
I suddenly owe her an explanation for my actions
Supreme Court Justice Saliu
I am praying for pastors today, that the Lord 
will give them the wisdom to navigate 
these times
I pray for those waiting for the downfall of 
pastors too, you won’t prosper until they fall
