Nigeria's veteran comedian, Alibaba has slammed Nigerian pastors who ask their church members to pray instead of seeking medical treatment.
According to him, some pastors direct their church members to the prayer unit instead of asking them to seek medical attention.

SOME PASTORS WILL BE DIRECTING THEIR CONGREGATION TO PRAYER DEPARTMENT WHEN WHAT THEY SHLD HAVE DONE IS TELL THEM TO GO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP

Speaking further, he said some of the pastors collect offerings from the church members and use them to seek treatment from qualified doctors abroad.
HOW CAN YOU BE OFFERING MEMBERS PRAYERS FOR HEALTH ISSUES, YET TAKE THEIR OFFERING TO GO SEEK MEDICAL HELP FROM QUALIFIED DOCTORS OVERSEAS?

Specifically, he said some of the pastors ask their members to wait on the Lord while he and his wife pursue In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), a medical option in the treatment of infertility.
OK. SINCE IM NOW GETTING HATE DMS, LET ME JUST SAY IT. A PASTOR TELLS COUPLE TO PRAY & WAIT ON THE LORD. MEANWHILE HE & REV MRS DID IVF

Some of the comedian's followers on Twitter believe the anomaly deserves to be critically examined.

@ALIBABAGCFR @Yinka_freeman we all have a bible, let's read it. We all have a brain, let's use it.
