Nigerian comedian Woli Arole has addressed “woke” Nigerians in an open letter amidst the growing social media trend of unusual testimonies shared in churches, particularly from The Lord’s Chosen church. Recently, the church has gained attention for testimonies deemed mysterious and unrealistic by many online users.
Taking to Instagram, Woli Arole shared his thoughts on the situation, calling out those who mock supernatural events. In his message, he urged people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of life, regardless of their personal beliefs.
He wrote: “A letter to my generation: I see a lot of assumed WOKE people who love to mock anything SUPERNATURAL. I pray you don’t face trouble before you realize that life is SPIRITUAL!!! Your OPINIONS or CRUISE won’t change the TRUTH!!! Can you hear me at the back?”
The post sparked mixed reactions from netizens. Some echoed his sentiments, while others criticized his stance:
– **@kingsharon** commented, “Religion…? Definitely the Opium of the people. But then So Real.”
– **@ezzy_wayy** responded, “Oh please shut your trap, bro! Being spiritual is not an excuse to suspend your brain. Let that sink in.”
– **@christalunar** prayed, “God please I need a testimony that will sound like a lie to unbelievers 🙏.”
– **@fran6** added, “Why don’t you tell this to your bad government? Or is life not spiritual for them too? Why not remind them that God will punish them for all they do to us, the citizens?”
Woli Arole’s letter highlights the ongoing debate between faith and skepticism in Nigerian society, with many grappling over the balance between spiritual belief and rational thought.
