Earlier today, LIB reported the story of Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie criticising Pastor Adeboye's decision to have as many branches as possible.
According to Okogie, there is no Godliness in the decision by some churches in the country to have as many branches as possible, describing such branches as “mere business centres,” (Read the full story here)
Now, controversial Cool FM OAP, Daddy Freeze who's widely known as a big critic of pastors has reacted by giving props to the Cardinal for his criticism of Pastor Adeboye.
In his words: 'I have been driving up and down Lagos looking for this cardinal, so I can give him one huge hug.'
Drawing out a comparison to the number churches outside and inside Nigeria, Freeze wrote:
"Finland has the most stable economy in world today. There are less than 20 churches in Finland.
Switzerland has the second most stable economy in the world. Switzerland has less than 30 churches.
Denmark is the third most stable economy in the world. Denmark has about 23 churches in it.
These are countries considered largely atheist in nature, yet so blessed.
'Come to Owerri town, SE Nigeria, from MCC junction to Toronto junction, there are 36 churches. That stretch of about 5 km harbours 36 churches, more churches than the entire Switzerland.
'Between Owerri and Mgbidi l counted 97 churches and gave up.'
'According to CAC, Nigeria has over 23,000 registered churches. We have more churches than schools and hospitals combined. More pastors than doctors and teachers combined. Everyone is born again. All are covered in the blood of Jesus. All are filled with the Holy Spirit.'
'Yet none of those claims reflects in the expected moral elevation of society. We are still one of the greediest, laziest, corrupt, deceitful, hypocritical and hateful set of beings on the planet today, with all our Christ and Holy Spirit.'
''Our people need to draw the line between religiosity and spirituality."
