Some pastors in Nigeria claim they can cure Ebola, another unimaginative way to monetize misfortune. They prey on the poor and miseducated exploiting them for fame and fortune.
The Nigerian Federal Police and the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has just cause to arrest and prosecute these false prophets for fraud. Those who follow these false prophets blindly are not victims but Muguns.
That is very unfortunate. Religious exploitation and extortion are the worst of the evils in the society.

That’s so awful! The name of God is taken to perpetuate oppression of people. At least your blog is getting the word out there.

It is not only pastors unfortunately who prey on the poor and miseducated exploiting them for fame and fortune. We’ve had many political and religous leaders and even scientists who have done that.

False prophets? Who among the popular ones is a saint? In a country where everyone is looking for miracles, that’s what happens…sadly.
