Nigeria was not created by God – Pastor Paul Adefarasin

The Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, has said Nigeria’s formation was not an act of God but a construct of British colonial interests.

Speaking during his Sunday sermon, Adefarasin argued that the country’s foundation was rooted in colonial deals driven by financial motives rather than divine design.

“Nigeria, I do not believe it was created by God.

“I believe that Elizabeth the First entered into a deal with the Ottoman Empire concerning Sudan. Two empires got together and decided that this land would go to the sons of Ishmael,” he said, referencing The Martyrdom of Man, a historical book.

He, however, emphasized that the church has a duty to correct what man got wrong, stressing its role as the “light of the world and salt of the earth.”
