Religion has blinded Nigerians – VeryDarkMan reacts to Pastor Adeboye’s apology
Social media activist, Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan on Friday said religion has “blinded and finished” Nigerians and Africans.
VeryDarkMan was reacting to the apology by Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG.
The cleric apologized for his earlier claim that Christians that are not paying tithe won’t make heaven.
Pastor Adeboye had previously claimed that paying tithe was one of the prerequisites for going to heaven.
But addressing his members, the clergyman apologized for the comment which he described as a “mistake”, stressing that the Holy Bible never said such.
He emphasised that the Bible says peaceful and holy living are the prerequisites for making heaven.
Reacting via his Instagram post, VeryDarkMan said: “I’m happy about what Papa Adeboye revealed so I’m waiting for all those pastors like David Ibieyomie that preach about giving tithe.
“The number one man of all the religious people in Nigeria has come out to apologize that he’s sorry for saying if you don’t pay tithe you won’t make heaven; that it’s not in the Bible.
“Which other things have they told us is not in the Bible? That’s what I’m concerned about; how many things have they manipulated that is not in the Bible? I’m glad that Papa Adeboye came out to say these things, so imagine the ones that would come out to apologise and have manipulated the people, they have twisted the right words of the Bible to suit their own narratives.
“Religion has blinded and finished us in Africa and I will keep talking about how messed up religion has made us, carry your Bible. I’m waiting for those who will come tomorrow and say prayers won’t move Nigeria forward. I hope God will touch papa and the tithe collected will be used to touch the people of the country by creating jobs for millions.”

Most accidents are caused by drivers – FRSC
The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has said that most of the accidents on Nigerian roads are due to drivers’ negligence.
The Edo Sector Commander of the Corps, Cyril Mathew, disclosed this at the “ember months” sensitisation town hall meeting in Benin City.
Mathew said the ember months campaign focuses on passengers as statistics had shown that passengers suffer more fatalities than drivers.
According to him, the records of the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, NBS, showed thousands of road traffic deaths annually with a significant number of the casualties being passengers traveling in commercial vehicles.
“The NBS statistic also said, approximately 63 per cent of all road traffic deaths involved passengers.
“Most of the accidents were the result from the negligence of the drivers who engaged in risky behaviours on the road thereby putting their passengers at significant risk.
“A study conducted by the FRSC revealed that in road traffic crashes involving commercial drivers, the chances of passengers sustaining serious injuries or fatalities are considerably higher than that of the drivers.
“This is often due to the design of the vehicle which tends to offer more protection to the driver due to safety features such as airbags among others. In contrast, passengers in poorly constructed vehicles lacked such safety features.
“Passengers were not able to influence the decision-making of the drivers thereby leaving the passengers vulnerable to the consequences of their dangerous driving action,” he said.
He said the town hall meeting was to sensitise passengers not to keep quiet but to speak out to save their lives because they suffer more when a vehicle with many passengers is involved in an accident.
The Sector Commander said excessive speeding, driving without obeying traffic lights, driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and any substance, and distracting driving such as making calls, smoking, and eating while driving, among others, constitute dangerous driving on the road.
He called on drivers to obey traffic rules and regulations to ensure safe arrival at their destinations.
