Over the years, Nigeria church has been over-criticized by most Nigerians who blame the church for everything. Majority of those criticisms are simply bias. Nigeria church has been blamed for almost everything that went wrong in our society. The social media is jam-packed with negative stories or messages about the church. Meanwhile, majority of those critics and their followers have in one way or the other enjoyed from the spiritual blessings of the church. Infact some of them attended primary and secondary schools built by the church. It is now they don’t see anything good in the church. Some people derive happiness in putting together negative write-ups about the church. They are ignorant of the fact that there can never be perfect church. The church is like a woman. There is no perfect woman anywhere. It is Christ, who is husband that is sustaining the church.
