Nigerian clergyman Pastor Tunde Bakare has stirred reactions online with his statement on the late singer Mohbad.
The clergyman, while preaching in Leicester, United Kingdom, at a church event on Sunday, revealed how Mohbad had reaped the reward of his actions while alive.
He stated that his stage name, ‘Mohbad’, which means ‘I am bad’, greatly affected him, and the friends he associated with worsened things as they contributed to his untimely demise.
Pastor Tunde reemphasized that Mohbad reaped the reward of his harvest; however, he made it clear that he isn’t blaming the singer for his death.
“My wife and I listened to a tape last night on MohBad. How many of you know MohBad? The Nigerian artiste who died at 27? MohBad.
When he was drinking and smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know that the harvest would come so soon and that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth.
“I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is MohBad a good name? Moh Bad”.
His statement has sparked lots of outrage, as many expressed disappointment in the clergyman.
