What people don't know is that the Church of God has been a perfect place for the devil to plant his agents. These agents come in the guise of angels, and mortal men like us tend to play advocates for these agents believing we are involved with the Lord's anointed.
Please, Men of God are also fallible. They are mortal like us and must not be seen as divine beings devoid of wrong doing. So those people who are quick to defend pastors whenever their names pop up in murky waters should tarry a while... I have seen a hand full do things you would swear they never did should I speak about it. Trust me you don't wanna open that closet.
Women most times, for the simple fact that they suffer shaming in a mtale domineering society, would rather not speak out when they suffer sexually related abuses let alone by the hand of a supposedly man of God. Who would believe their story? Especially when we see these men of God as infallible? Surprisingly, you see women being the first to line up in defence of the offender just because of that cliché 'Our Daddy in the Lord' or 'The Lord's Anointed'. They will make the victim feel like she is the worst of creatures and even if eventually it is proven that she was actually abused or assaulted, you will hear statements like "She seduced him. The pastor is also human...Why would you go to greet him in his office?" and Blablablabla.... Now let me remind you David in the Bible, the man after God's heart, killed for his lust over a woman. Read also about an ancient Pope by the name Borgia who also kept and had sexual relations with a mistress while he held sway as Pope. Would you compare these two to our dear COZA overseer? Don't get me wrong, I have not passed judgement yet, I am only projecting a possibility where lust could be in the veins of men of God too thus making them assault, harass or even rape their unsuspecting members. We must also remember, in Nigeria today, people are only what I call 'Churchprenuers' a coinage I have derived from the words 'Church' & 'Entrepreneur'; they are into Church business (for the money) and not truly having divine calling to serve God. Such Church business owners could do with some pleasurable benefits that come with such a business don't you think so?
I therefore submit that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo may not be as innocent as many people may wish him to be. Busola Dakolo's voice should not be written off just yet because we may be unmasking the face of a Rapist in the Church. Yes, sex do happen in sacred places too... I will write again!
When I first heard this story, I was like, the social media has gotten an opportunity to spread wild fire. Well rape isn't a good thing especially if you're a victim. It hurts both body and soul. If this act was committed a long time ago before he became the man of God then we should be careful. God is a merciful God, He let the rape happen and now this man is a man of God. If he doesn't stop then, God will bring judgement upon him. Forgiveness is the key word here. How about those without a voice? They've been raped and are still alive, they even see the culprits everyday. I just hope this topic hasn't been over flogged by the media. Cheers.
