Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30123, member: 2262"] Nigerian preacher Pastor Chris Oyakhilome wants people in Zimbabwe to skip meals and pray this Sunday, March 31, 2025. He says the devil threatens the country because of protests planned that same day. He thinks these protests will cause trouble and create chaos across Zimbabwe. His message appeared in a video shared by Zimbabwe government talker Nick Mnangagana. Many find his words surprising since his student Uebert Angel has caused problems with violent religious acts and possible crimes. Pastor Chris speaks up as Zimbabwe faces hard times with money problems and bad leadership. He asks Christians to pray and fast to stop what he calls an evil plan to hurt the nation. He warns against letting the devil take control and claims people promising to fix Zimbabwe have hidden motives. He says protests and uprisings trick people and never help anything. But many people wonder why he talks this way. His message seems strange because he stays close with Uebert Angel, who people link to the big Goldmafia money crime. Angel learned from Pastor Chris but faces claims he helped steal public money from African countries and move it around illegally. This hurts governments, including Zimbabwe. Angel may have done this since Kenya back in 1992. Instead of helping Zimbabwe through fasting, Angel might have made things worse. Recent videos show Angel telling his church members to attack his critics at night, even reporters. Angel talks about a Bible character named Phineas who killed sinners without praying first. He tells followers in the Shona language that reporters need beating without waiting. He promises to help anyone jailed for attacking his enemies. This shows a man who likes using force despite religious talk - very different from what Pastor Chris preaches about peace. The Gold Mafia scandal badly hurt African countries, particularly Zimbabwe. Angel recently said he fears someone will kill him if he travels back to the United Kingdom because officials there want answers about illegal gold deals. Pastor Chris never talks about what Angel did wrong. He just calls the March 31 protest the real danger. Critics say this makes no sense since Pastor Chris warns about selfish power grabbers when his student, Angel, acts exactly that way. Zimbabweans online feel angry about Pastor Chris and his message. Many point to the $15 million Angel gave to Pastor Chris last year as proof of a bad connection between them. Social media posts say Pastor Chris cares nothing about Zimbabwe and only protects his student who steals and lies. Others ask why Pastor Chris talks about Zimbabwe politics when Angel feeds him false stories. As the March 31 protest day approaches, Pastor Chris's request for a fast creates major debate. Does he really care about Zimbabwe or just trying to protect Angel, whose corrupt ways harm the country more than any protest could? With Angel causing such problems, Pastor Chris's speaking about spiritual matters seems less important than his student breaking laws. Zimbabwe citizens must decide whether to believe Pastor Chris or judge him by the company he keeps. [/QUOTE]
