Singer Spyro has criticised religious institutions and leaders for what he described as their silence amid the country’s worsening insecurity and national challenges.
In a video shared online, Spyro questioned why many churches and mosques continue preaching regular sermons while violence, fear, and hardship persist across the nation.
According to him, religious gatherings should currently focus on addressing the country’s crisis and speaking up for the people.
The singer argued that both Christian and Muslim leaders have a responsibility to confront the government and advocate for citizens during difficult times.
He also expressed concern that schools and normal activities are continuing despite the security situation, describing the moment as one that should provoke national urgency.
Spyro specifically called out prominent religious figures, including Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo, William Kumuyi, Jerry Eze and other notable clerics, asking why they have not publicly spoken more strongly about the state of the country.
He also questioned the silence of influential Muslim leaders and scholars.
According to the artiste, the country is facing a serious crisis and religious leaders should not remain focused solely on crusades and services while citizens continue to suffer.
His words in part …
“Why am I going to church where another message asides what’s happening in the country is being preached.
Any church that is preaching any message different from what is happening in this country and not speaking for the people and speaking to the government, you’re wrong.
Any mosque speaking about anything different from what is happening in this country, you’re wrong.
Schools are even still opening up, why? This calls for a state of emergency. What is our limit? When are we going to say enough is enough.
It took me a while to make this video because I was waiting for the response of church and religious leaders.
Where’s pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo, pastor Kumuyi in all of this? Where is pastor Bolaji in all of this? Where is Jerry Eze in all of this? Where are all the notable men of God in all of this?
And for the Muslims, where are your sheikhs? Where are the Alfas.
Now is not the time to sit around holding crusades and services. The country is on the verge of collapse…”
