Senior Pastor and Founder of The Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade, has stirred mixed reactions after he stated that Nigerians are being programmed to hate their country.

While preaching in his church, the cleric opined that living conditions and operating businesses in Nigeria is better when compared to the US.

He said;. ‘’People are being programmed to hate their country which is ‘self hatred’. I was in America and I sat down with some Nigerians and they started. I told them that in Nigeria, a person will graduate as a medical doctor and spend N500, 000 throughout to become a doctor and they are working. You will graduate from John Hopkins as a doctor and you spend $2000, are you okay? Do you know how much money you will spend?

I said to them in Nigeria, if you tell a Nigerian to do two jobs he will curse your life out. He will come to America, wake up in the morning, do first job, do second job, do Uber…I said if they put the fraction of this energy they put here in their country, they would have blown. They kept quiet''

He recounted how one of the branches of his church in Yaba organized a tradefair and how some of the church made great returns. He argued that such people would not have made such great returns if the tradefair were to have been organized in the US.

REACTIONS

If this country were truly good, men like Pastor Poju wouldn’t have risen as loudspeakers of delusion. Let’s not twist the narrative—Nigerians aren’t programmed to hate their country, they’re reacting to a nation that has failed them at every turn.

You don’t expect a people shackled in generational chains, starved of justice, and abandoned by leadership to sing lullabies about rot. This isn’t self-hatred—it’s survival instinct. It’s the voice of the battered crying out from the belly of a broken system.

Get serious, Pastor. If the house is burning, you don’t rebuke the one yelling “fire”—you quench the flames.

Pastor Poju is deliberately comparing d school fees of schools like Ekiti State University to Harvard University. It's obvious that no matter how intelligent one is, U must sound like an idiot to defend failure. Prof Wole is also an example.

Our hospitals are mere clinics, inflation is outrageous, hunger & poverty is mind blowing, u dare not travel at night, insecurity is alarming, d roads are beyond terrible, power supply is in comatose, the currency is like tissue paper. There are a plethora of issues affecting this great country that need all sensible people to speak truth to power & demand good governance & ability.

Pastor Poju & his likes will, however turn blind eyes to all these hardships and start shutting down those that are trying to even do the least of complaining. Pastor Poju sets up the platform to bring sensible minds together to find solutions & speak truth to power on all these economic & social vices affecting d country.

These economic hardships are now occurring in an alarming rate that has completely wiped out the middle class in just two years of this despicable govt. Pastor Poju, if u can't speak truth to power anymore, the least u can do is to be quiet rather than gaslighting people's realities.

This gaslighting of the people's pain is not Christ's teachings. These are teachings from d pit of hell. You all keep proving those that call the church the spiritual arm of this despicable govt right. @Oyesanyayomi

Gaslighting people with misinformation because you have their offering and tithes to depend on. He can’t relate to the struggles of the ordinary people in Lagos not to talk of Nigerians in America.
@PeterObiUSA.

Where should I start

If you were poor, and herdsmen in their stock in trade come and massacre your family will you love your country?

Or when your brother, in his farm, over power and kill a herdsman, who was planning to kill, and a judge sentence your brother to life imprisonment will you love your country?

Or after massacreing your people by herdsman, leaving your people in tears, the governor of your state is more interested in investigating why cows who came to destroy your source of food where poisoned, will you love your country?



Or is it the case of Repented Boko Haram who are being rehabilitated with the oil money that should have gone to of the community where's the oil is being drilled?

If not tribalism and ethnic bigotry where aren't those termed "terrorist" in the southern part of the country also not rehabilitated and thought some skills?

Nigeria is in a bad state with chaos, kidnappings, and violence killing people and destroying property. There's nothing to be proud of. Meanwhile, the president is reportedly relaxing far away, raising worries about leadership and safety during this crisis.

Does progress of the country include leaving People of Benue and Plateau like, while they keep getting massacred, and saying no to self defence?


Does progress of the country include buying a bag of rice more than the price of minimum wage?

Does progress of the country include allowing Fulani people to be killing people like fowls?


School and churches in Nigeria should start being honest

Schools won't teach you how to survive in this world

Churches will tell you that devil and demons are everything bad and evil, meanwhile the truth is HUMAN BEINGS, LIKE YOU, ARE THE REAL EVIL ONES

Why must these so called god of men be dehumanizing the sensibility and dignity of hard working citizens of this nation.

Are you still living in stone age?

What is happening now is some businesses are making stupendous amount of profit like never before, even when you for naira devaluation.

On the flip side, the average man on the street is feeling the brunt of income that can't keep up with rising goods prices.

Some are winning, and winning big. Many are struggling and can barely hold on.

Like Nigeria, countries such as the UK, USA are experiencing a similar dichotomy where the gap between the rich few and the rest of the population is growing wider and wider.

Personally, I now believe that uncontrollable capitalism as practised in these countries is not all honky dory, as we were led to believe in our old economics textbooks.

Nigeria needs to retrace its capitalist steps and pay more attention to the basic necessities of the ordinary people - food, and I think, electricity.

I am still shocked at Band A price for electricity. These private companies are only fixated on more and more profits while doing less and less.

Government needs to stop privatising utilities.

This is exactly the reason why all the enemies of Nigeria will never know peace..

Noted.

The Country let them down

I would not say that.

The problem with the average Nigerian is that they want to ride in Ferraris for the price of a bicycle, and when that can't happen, the government is bad.

Also, the government is bad, until your side wins, then everything that is bad that happens under your government is either the fault of the oppositon, theAmericans, the Zionists, and if all that falis...we can blame the Hausas.

Nigeria is the kind of country that a baker will spend N2000 to bake a loaf of luscious bread, and then he would be met by angry customers demaning that he sell it at N200

Also we do not have good leadership because whenever Nigerians are told that it would cost millions to say develop a railway line between Jalingo and Calabar, they will say the leaders would loot all the money, which is a code word for....my side is not in power, therefore I am going to fight until my side is in power, or....as some people would give its appropriate name, laziness..


Finally, NIgerians love to talk. And it is far easier to sound like Diogenes than to be like the random Greek labourers who built up buildings like the Parthenon. Because at the end, sounding cynical is a lot easier than actually getting into politics and making things better...but then again yesterday's Diogenes, become tomorrow's epicureans when their side takes over.

Anyway, hi de hi!

This may not be related but I may not have the opportunity to meet you. Fornication is becoming a normal thing in our generation, sin is not just a disobedience to God, it breaks God's heart. Run back to God. "blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways"

My Togo girlfriend has ran back to Togo since last year January and refuse to return to Lagos,I asked her how much is one dollar in cefa,she told me around 500 cefa to 1$ , the cost of Living is not way above board like in Nigeria,she is telling me to come over am thinking of the language barrier

Her light bill is around 2000 cefa a month, light is steady and she uses all her appliances,but in Naija light of 10k won't last two weeks and person won't still use fridge and air condition.

A car of two million cefa in Togo is worth over six million naira in Nigeria, what sort of useless policy is in Nigeria

If you date compare Nigeria and any West African country, I will swear for you.

No allow my anger rise this morning.

That being addressed... I miss Nigeria!

Omoh. Omoh. Omoh... No country in this world is as sweet as Nigeria.


None!

Is this the NL Seunn Hope for, any comment now attracts ban

Yes Pastor you are very correct on this, and it is intentionally powered by some individuals and groups to force and propagate the narratives of hopelessness, hate and frustration on unsuspecting compatriots.
They manipulate news, events and good intentions to drive their demonic intentions and force such narratives down the throats of the gullibles and simple-minded.

Nigerian hate bad governance not Nigeria , if Nigerians hatted Nigeria they will be happy to see Tinubu govt destroying Nigeria but they are not .

The people who hate Nigerians are those that cheer bad govts on as they plunder and destroy the country.

His right to an

Not all Nigerians Sir.....but the sore losers.

They protect theirs...but hates others..

Are Nigerian leaders not more programmed to hate our country offline with the way they steal and destroy our moral values to focus away from the common good and instead focus on our individual lives?

Leaders of the political, religious, business, social etc space?

I said so and it's really sad, but so many people will still justify the hatred they have for their country. A question I want to ask them is, is there any prosperous country in the world where the citizens hate the country the way we do in Nigeria

Some Nigerians think that once they travel out all their life's wahala will just evaporate. Nit true.
