Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30127, member: 2262"] Nigerian religious leader Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has asked his followers to pray and fast before the big protests planned for March 31 in Zimbabwe. During a Global Day of Prayer event, he talked about how much Zimbabwe matters to Africa despite its smaller size. He said they needed to fight against evil forces trying to take over the country. He believes that peace in Zimbabwe will lead to better lives for everyone there. Pastor Chris has strongly warned people not to join the upcoming demonstrations. He called them "satanic protests" and claimed those pushing for them just want power, not real solutions. The planned protests come as many Zimbabweans feel angry about money problems, lack of political freedom, and government corruption. He urged citizens to avoid destroying their country and questioned why protest leaders wouldn't be on the streets themselves. His comments have split public opinion in Zimbabwe, especially on social media platforms. Many who support him appreciate his call for prayer and peace. Others think he wants to stop people from using their basic right to protest. Some critics believe his message might be connected to his friendship with Zimbabwean religious figure Uebert Angel, who faces accusations from activist Blessed Geza about helping with bad government practices. Several social media users have responded negatively to Pastor Chris. One person named Charity Mareya asked him to let Zimbabweans handle their problems. Another user, Mathew Chitanha, suggested that Pastor Chris might be paid by the ruling party and told him to focus on other troubled countries instead. As the protest date approaches, people wonder if his message will change minds or if Zimbabweans will still take to the streets anyway. The fight for Zimbabwe's future continues through religious, political, and community channels. [/QUOTE]
