Pastor insinuates Mr. Ibu died because he didn't use his life to serve God
On Facebook, a pastor drew a comparison between Mr Ibu and Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
Following the announcement of John Okafor's, also known as Mr Ibu, death, Pastor Fortune Makarios took to Facebook implying that Mr Ibu, younger than Adeboye, passed away at 62 due to not dedicating his life to serving God.
He noted that Adeboye, at 82, remains healthy.
He posted: "The Man on the left is a Pastor and He is Celebrating His 82Years old Birthday today.
"The brother on the right is a comedian and He just died at 62 today
"What do you learn from this?
"Use your Life to Serve GOD. UNTIMELY DEATH SHALL NOT BE YOUR PORTION IN JESUS NAME."
His remarks sparked outrage, with many criticizing him for being insensitive.
In response to the backlash, he doubled down and wrote on Facebook: "IF YOU THINK GOD Called ME TO PLEASE you. YOU ARE JOKING
"IF YOU LIKE INSULT ME FOR SAYING THE TRUTH ON MY PREVIOUS POST BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE TRUTH THAT THOSE WHO GENUINELY SERVE GOD WITH THEIR LIFE LIKE PAPA ADEBOYE CANNOT DIE UNTIMELY.
"MY NAME IS PASTOR FORTUNE YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE !!! JOHN 8:32. #PASTORFORTUNESPEAKS."
