A Nigerian pastor has sparked conversations online after expressing disappointment over what he described as a lack of appreciation from members of his congregation.
Speaking during a church gathering, the cleric lamented that many of his members rarely celebrate him or acknowledge his birthday on social media, despite his efforts and commitment to supporting them through difficult periods in their lives.
According to him, the same members who overlook him are often quick to share birthday messages, prayer links, and program updates for more prominent pastors, including well-known figures in the Christian community.
The pastor stated that he spends time praying, fasting, and interceding on behalf of his congregation, yet feels unrecognized for his sacrifices. He also noted that some members seek spiritual help from him, experience positive outcomes, and then direct their financial support and attention elsewhere.
He further argued that accessibility may be one reason local pastors are often taken for granted, pointing out that church members can easily reach him, unlike many high-profile ministers whom they admire from a distance.
Expressing his frustration, the pastor reminded his congregation that God sees everything and urged them to show more appreciation and support for those who continually serve and stand by them.
His remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with many debating whether local church leaders receive the recognition and appreciation they deserve from their members.
