Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has backed the
decision by top Nigerian Pastors to shun the burial of the founder of the
Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, Late Prophet T.B. Joshua.
The deceased clergyman died on June 5 and was buried on
Friday, July 9.
Top pastors, church owners and
religious leaders in Nigeria were conspicuously missing during the burial of
the late Prophet.
It was observed that the only notable clergyman who attended his funeral was the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Lagos state chapter, Rt. Rev. S.T.V Adegbite.
Some Nigerians also took to social media to call them out
for not practicing what they preach, adding that they didn’t act like
Christians and lacked love in their hearts.
Reacting, Omokri in a post via his Twitter account said the
pastors made the right decision by not attending the late T.B Joshua’s burial.
According to him, “It’s hypocritical to attend a burial of
someone you didn’t associate with her was alive.
He further noted that people should only attend funeral of
people they associated with while they were still alive.
“In religion, politics or entertainment, people usually
attend funerals of those they associated with while they lived.
“If you did not associate with someone while alive, and they
did not associate with you while they were alive, it is hypocritical to go for
their burial,” he wrote.
