Since the Corona Virus broke out in China, it has continued to generate conversations online every day as the Pandemic continues to spread across different parts of the world. For Nigerians, the reactions vary and some people are being attacked for stating their opinions on the Corona Virus and this time some Nigerians on twitter decided to pounce on Pastor Adeboye: the general overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Pastor Adeboye had earlier twitted concerning the Corona Virus advising Nigerians to take preventive measures by ensuring that they wash their hands always because cleanliness is next to godliness. Pastor Adeboye also prayed that the Virus won’t affect anybody as far as they remain in the “secret place of the lord. He also said that this is the time people will know the difference between those who serve God genuinely and otherwise.
I don't know what Pastor Adeboye did to deserve this dragging this morning o, where you paid to to this? Did he collect your church members? I don't know o…
But…Lemme sha not say God will punish you. pic.twitter.com/Sbp6G0wUA5

However, some Nigerians did not agree with the Pastor citing that he makes God look “wicked”. See reactions below:

You guys should see this..if he dies from it, does it mean heās been a fake pastor all dis while?— AJ(POWER)šš (@ifIplease) March 18, 2020
According to Pastor Adeboye the Coronavirus Pandemic is a punishment from God for those who don't serve him wholeheartedly! Sometimes these religious leaders make God look like a very wicked man.
