Pastor Ayodele Sparks Outrage With Statement Targeting the Igbo Community in his Sunday sermon, calling a whole tribe a curse<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Igbos are the problem of Nigeria. They are desperate for power and want to rule Nigeria at all costs. There’s a curse on Igbos,\u201d -Pastor Ayodele<\/p>\n

A fresh wave of controversy has hit social media after Prophet Ayodele, founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, made a highly provocative remark about the Igbo ethnic group in his bigotry preaching during his Sunday preaching in his church, NRI.<\/p>\n

During a recent address, Pastor Ayodele\u00a0 stated:<\/p>\n

The Igbos are the problem of Nigeria. They are desperate for power and want to rule Nigeria at all costs. There’s a curse on Igbos.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement, which spread rapidly across social media platforms, triggered immediate backlash from citizens nationwide. Many Nigerians condemned the comment as divisive, especially at a time when ethnic tension remains a sensitive national issue.<\/p>\n

Social commentators, civil society groups, and Igbo organisations called the pastor\u2019s words \u201cdangerous,\u201d warning that such rhetoric could fuel ethnic hostility. Others questioned why a religious leader would make comments that could undermine national unity.<\/p>\n

As reactions continue to pour in, Pastor Ayodele has not publicly clarified or retracted the statement. Nigerians await a formal response from the church leadership, while various groups call for responsible communication from public figures.<\/p>\n

The incident has once again reopened conversations about ethnic stereotypes, political competition, and the responsibility of influential voices in shaping public opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
