In a move that has ignited fresh debate within Christian circles, prominent religious leader and businessman, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, has called upon Christians to actively oppose VeryDarkMan, a widely known social media personality often critical of religious figures. Fufeyin's directive comes in the wake of VeryDarkMan's alleged insults directed at Pastor Ibiyeomie, the head of Destiny Helpers Church.
Prophet Fufeyin, who himself has faced scrutiny for selling spiritual products like "Noah's Rainbow," "Golden Spoon," and "Miracle Soaps" to his congregants, framed VeryDarkMan's actions as a direct assault on the collective "Body of Christ." He warned that such critiques, if left unchallenged, could escalate into a broader offensive against religious leaders, cautioning, "Today, another person's turn tomorrow." This impassioned appeal has divided Christian opinion, with some adherents likely to align with Fufeyin's call for solidarity, while others may question the appropriateness of his confrontational approach.
The unfolding situation highlights the ongoing tension between critical social commentary and the perceived sanctity of religious leadership in Nigeria.
