Rev Thompson accuses religious leaders of corruption

Reverend Oladimeji (Ladi) Thompson says the Christmas period has been used to celebrate vices

- The pastor accused religious leaders of wanting corruption back

- He said there is another Jesus created by Satan to look like the original

Reverend Oladimeji (Ladi) Thompson who is the founder/Senior Pastor of Lagos-based Living Waters Unlimited Church has said that religious leaders in Nigeria have contributed to the growing corruption in the country.

In an interview with Vanguard, the international co-ordinator of Macedonian Initiative also noted that a lot of immoral and evil things occour during Christmas period as people use the opportunity to engage in unreligious things.

He said: “A lot of Nigerians are not aware that there’s another Jesus created by Satan to look like the original. So when you are not able to differentiate between the celebrant Jesus Christ and another Jesus, you end up with another spirit and another gospelFind out the time of the year when unwanted pregnancies increase; when bloodshed due to robbery increases; when disappointments increases; when STDs and HIV increase; when envies, jealousies and strife increase. It will coincide with the celebration of Christmas. It is actually not the celebration of Christmas. What you are seeing actually is the budget of another Jesus“What I’m trying to point out is that it is dangerous. Many people die, many get infected with venereal diseases, many get drunk with free alcohol at the same period and end up either disabled or dead. Is that the celebration of Jesus Christ? A lot of young boys borrow guns and go into armed robbery because they can’t go to the village with nothing to show. Pressure is on them and so they go into crime.

“I am a follower of persons like Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African bishop. I believe the Church should be the light of the world. And once we vacate the role we are supposed to play, the salt can no longer be salt, the light can no longer shine and there will be perpetuation of poverty and shame. If we do our job right, we may end up saving somebody’s life at Christmas. Most people are in debt in January. If you celebrate the genuine Jesus properly, you will be in credit in January.”

He also spoke about religious leaders in Nigeri insisting that they are the one who want corruption back.

"Let’s call a spade a spade. All these public relations churches are doing all over the place is to divert attention away from where the real problem is. There’s a conspiracy between the Church, the Mosque and politics to loot the nation. Offering has hugely dropped in most churches and mosques. Everybody now finds out that the whole of Nigeria is run on corruption money.l
