Spyro calls out Nigerian pastors over silence amid insecurity

Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has called out notable Nigerian pastors, urging them to speak up against the rise of insecurity in the country.

Spyro in a video, criticised religious institutions and leaders for continuing with their regular sermons despite the recent violent attacks.

He noted that both Christian and Muslim leaders must confront the government and have a sense of responsibility towards the citizens.

“Why am I going to church where another message asides what’s happening in the country is being preached. Any church that is preaching any message different from what is happening in this country and not speaking for the people and speaking to the government, you’re wrong. Any mosque speaking about anything different from what is happening in this country, you’re wrong. Schools are even still opening up, why? This calls for a state of emergency. What is our limit? When are we going to say enough is enough,” he stated.

While calling out prominent religious figures, including Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo, William Kumuyi, Muslim Sheiks and Alfas, Spyro urged them to speak up and act.

”It took me a while to make this video because I was waiting for the response of church and religious leaders. Where’s pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo, pastor Kumuyi in all of this? Where is pastor Bolaji in all of this? Where is Jerry Eze in all of this? Where are all the notable men of God in all of this?. And for the Muslims, where are your sheikhs? Where are the Alfas. Now is not the time to sit around holding crusades and services. The country is on the verge of collapse,” he added.
