There are thousands of churches in Nigeria and their pastors
all differ in character, dressing and what they preach about. While some
Nigerian pastors are concerned about leading sinners to Christ, others are more
interested in making money. Nigerians are a very religious set of people and a
good number of them ‘worship’ their pastors. If their pastor asks them to eat
grass for healing, they would willingly do so. Just like the saying, different
strokes for different folks, Nigerian pastors have different things that appeal
to them and act in different ways. Below are the types of pastors you will find
in Nigeria.
1. The prayer warriors: These pastors can pray from morning
till morning. They are always having one prayer conference or the other. All
their enemies have to die by fire.
2. The political ones: These ones talk more about politics
than the word. They always show themselves during the election period. They
mingle and dine with politicians. They are in the news for more political
issues that things that have to do with the church.
3. The funky ones: By their dressing and actions, you shall
know them. They wear designer suits, shoes, wristwatches and drive the latest
cars.
4. The businessmen: These set of pastors are billionaires
who own a vast business empire worth billions of naira. They own schools,
manufacturing companies and are unapologetic about their material wealth.
5The grammarians: These ones can speak grammar. Sure, some of
the church members would be checking the dictionary to understand what the
pastor is saying.
