The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Recently, a video crediting congregants’ bank accounts with money in churches in Nigeria and the USA surfaced on social media. In the video, Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries prophetically declared that angels would deposit money in the bank accounts of those present and the viewers at home. Shortly after, several congregants claimed they had received credit alerts and exultantly rejoiced to the pulpit, where they shared their testimonies.
If there is anything to learn from the “miracle money” video, it is that the Pentecostal occult economy -in brief, the belief that money can be magically generated- is keeping up with the Nigerian ecosystem of wireless cash transactions. Years ago, I listened to a sermon by a famous Nigerian Pentecostal preacher who claimed that, in answer to his prayer, God rained down cash from heaven and filled his hotel room.
On this matter, first, the police should instantly desist from their so-called investigation of this matter as possible offences of “criminal defamation” and “cyberstalking.” Getting involved is nothing short of a fool’s errand over an individual who made astute observations.
