Nigerians Hail Pastor Adeyemi For Stilling 5G Debate
By Ayodele Oluwafemi
Many Nigerians have taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to commend Sam Adeyemi, the DayStar Christian Centre, Senior Pastor on his perspectives on the ongoing 5G, Coronavirus and Anti-Christ conspiracy theory.
In recent days, the social media have been awash on the debate concerning the relationship between the 5G technologies and the Coronavirus pandemic currently ravaging the world.
The argument has created two different sets of opinion on the subject matter. While some claimed that 5G technology was the cause of Coronavirus others have countered saying that there is no relationship between 5G and Coronavirus pandemic.
Reacting to the 5G and Coronavirus controversy, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, in a live chat on Instagram with Pastor Poju Oyemade, noted that churches, mosques, schools and markets were shut in Nigeria during the influenza pandemic in 1918.
Adeyemi said he saw online how people were giving extreme interpretations to the Covid-19 crisis, noting that he carried out a research on how the world fared during previous pandemics like Coronavirus.
In his words, “I went online, there was a pandemic 100 years ago, let me go and study it and check it out, because the interpretation that people are giving to this pandemic, they range from one extreme to the other.
“I don’t even want to go into the details now, but there’s quarrel on social media now; from 5G to 10G and other things. I decided to check, how did it affect Nigeria?
“I found a research article by a history lecturer at the University at Birnin Kebbi. Beautiful research! I had to buy it. But I was happy buying it, because when I read it, it was amazing, it dug into the British archives, all the records that the colonial officers kept.
“In 1918 September, when the thing hit, the way air travel now is the main thing for global transportation and it was air travel that moved the coronavirus around, it was sea travel that spread the influenza around then.
“The ships that brought sick people into the Lagos port; I got the names, the dates they arrived, how it spread in Nigeria.
“I’d tell you the one that I saw and almost screamed, they closed churches, they closed mosques, they shut down schools, they shut down markets. 1918. So, some of us now think it is the anti-christ that is at work, he does not want us to gather together and fellowship.
“We should just be thanking God that we have internet now and we can be relating without meeting together. They shut churches in 1918. So when the leader takes perspective like that, then you can calm people down and tell them there will be life after this thing.”
Many Nigerians have commended the cleric for what they described as highly researched perspective about the 5G and Covid-19 controversy.
