“So we were sitting down, minding our business, and Nathaniel Bassey climbed the pulpit and blew the trumpet. I’m like, okay, you can signify the trumpet in Revelation, linking it with the end of the world, this is the end of Alex’s world. May his soul rest in peace.
But then he starts talking and says he has never met Alex before, but his friend, another pastor, said they should go and pray for Alex, that they wanted to pray for Alex and sing for him.
They were supposed to go on a Tuesday, but Alex d!£d on a Monday, and they still went on Tuesday to sing and pray. And I’m like, you’re all standing in front of me saying this. As in, really?
You stood there and still went to perform? What happened to all the miracles, healings, and resurrections you post on your platforms? I would have thought this was an opportunity to show your God’s glory.
Another pastor came, preached, and I was in m0urn!ng. I was seeing the handsome guy, his wife who is a widow now, his younger brother and sister, and the person who spoke on behalf of the father.
Those were the things I wanted to hear. I didn’t want to hear a sermon, but I can tolerate a sermon, segment my brain, just watch and filter out the parts that make sense and throw the rest in the d&stb!n.
Then Mercy Chinwo climbed the pulpit and turned the place into a concert. At that point, I got up and left. And here’s my question. You people said Daddy Freeze disobeyed the dress code, but does Mercy Chinwo not have soft music? Do you understand what a fun£ral is?
The kind of music that should be played at a fun£ral is soft music, like hymns. I would have been more moved if I heard hymns.
If I had gone there and the family just came and read Bible verses, I would have loved all that. Then they should have just played hymns for two hours. I would have sat down there and enjoyed it.
Songs like “I’m not going to see this guy again.” And I see people shouting and singing, and I’m like, we Nigerians have missed everything...."
