Some Nigerian Christians who were seen praying for a faulty transformer have come under fire from Senator Dino Melaye.
The incident that was reported happened in Lagos.
Around the damaged transformer in their neighborhood, residents of Ikota Housing Estate in Ajah, Lagos State, gathered to make it functional once again.
Melaye posted the video and the statement, “We are sick in Africa,” on his social media profiles. How could somebody be hoping for a ruined transformer? We have serious issues, as you can see after watching this video.
However, his post did not sit well with some of his followers who dragged him for also being corrupt and refusing to fix the problems in society.
@Iamsam: “You are part of the reason. The money you legally or illegally took from Nigerians can buy thousands or millions of transformers. Pls, go use that money to improve your community and Nigerian’s welfare.”
@Ayodele: “The same sickness that’s affecting Africans made you buy a luxury car Rolls-Royce just to put it in your living room for display when your living room isn’t a vehicle’s sales show room. People like you turned those poor people prayer warriors when there’s no way out.”.
@Expope1: “Posting this on your page after stealing all the money that belongs to the poor Nigerians to keep them in abject poverty is the most foolish thing I have seen on the internet today. Who is more sick? Are those praying for a transformer or are you acting like an imbecile in the Assembly?
@Bensamuel: “My suggestion to BAT is to build many mental health facilities across the 36 states”.
@Imole: Living at the comfort of your home makes you think everyone has the same reality just like you,if you live in some area you will understand why 3 new transformers will stop working in space of 1 month and they couldn’t find any reason why they stop working”.
We are sick in Africa. How can people be praying for a spoilt transformer. Watch this video and know that we have major problems. pic.twitter.com/mFGtMIo3us
