In a video circulating online, popular Nigerian singer Spyro has openly challenged leading spiritual leaders for their perceived silence on the country's worsening security situation.
He named pastors including E.A. Adeboye, David Oyedepo, Bolaji, and Jerry Eze, questioning their approach to national issues.
Spyro expressed disbelief that preachers continue delivering messages disconnected from daily realities facing citizens. He warned that Nigeria stands on the brink of collapse while crusades proceed without acknowledging pressing problems.
"The country is on the verge of collapse and pastors will be holding crusade preaching what's different and ignoring what's actually happening," he stated in the clip.
This criticism taps into broader public frustration. Similar sentiments have surfaced from other voices, including singer Portable, who recently slammed pastors for not protesting attacks on Christian communities.
Spyro, known for his public Christian faith, emphasized the need for influential figures to speak truth during critical times. His appeal aligns with earlier calls for celebrities and religious leaders to demand accountability.
Reactions on social media remain divided. Some users praise Spyro for bold honesty, while others defend the pastors, citing their private prayers and community work against banditry and terrorism.
Prominent clerics like Oyedepo and Adeboye have occasionally addressed insecurity through prayers, yet public demands for stronger advocacy persist.
The singer's video highlights ongoing debates about the role of religious leaders in addressing governance and safety failures.
As insecurity continues to dominate national discourse, Spyro's intervention adds a fresh voice from the entertainment industry, pushing for alignment between pulpit messages and ground realities.
