Found this hilarious post on Zikoko and thought to share, you agree?
Going to any type of church in Nigeria, you will
definitely meet these sets of people. They sometimes make going to
church fun and sometimes a little frustrating.
1.
The Annoying Usher
They want you to walk all the way to the front to sit
down, won’t leave you alone all service, always check to see if you are
using your bible app on your iPad and tap you when you are taking a nap.
Please leave me alone now.
2.
The Oversabi Choir Member
They can sing perfectly off key, always try to drown
out the other choristers voices, wear the most ridiculous outfits and
are there for show off. Madam, church not project fame.
3.
The Prayer Warrior
This is the person that prays aggressively
consistently. Inside the lions den kind of prayer, If you stand close
you may lose a tooth.
4.
The Weirdos
These ones never close their eyes when prayer is on. To
make matters worse they can maintain eye contact like it will take them
to heaven. Oga, Jesus is not on my face now.
5.
The Town Crier
They have the loudest voices. Whether it is the choir
singing or during prayers you can hear them from miles away. Bros/Sis
take it easy.
6.
The Jonahs
These ones are always sleeping. No matter the event,
opening prayer, sermon, tithe. You will find them nodding their heads
and almost falling off their chairs. Kuku stay at home and sleep.
7.
The Commentator
“Yes Pastor”, “preach on”, “Speak the word sir”. Sir/Mam, the Pastor knows his job now. Church, not football field.
8.
Drama Queens
We don’t know if its legit. Small prayer, small breeze
the pastor blows inside microphone they are rolling from the altar to
the back door and back.
9.
Holiest Holly
These set of people make you feel like the devil. They
are perfect or act like they are perfect. Making you wonder if it’s the
same heaven you are trying to get it.
10.
The National Stadium Gele Women
These people came to church to ensure you don’t see a
thing. With geles looking like Teslim Balogun stadium, and they know
where to seat to block the view of the whole of the congregation behind
them. Blocking someone’s blessings. Stress.
11.
Fashion Police
They are in church to critique what everyone is
wearing. “See sister Linda carrying a fake Hermes bag oh”, “why is
brother kcee dressed like a traffic light?”. And they themselves… Please
God accepts us as we are.
12.
The Dancehall Person
These set of people came to church to bust the new
dance steps they learnt all week. Once it’s time for thanksgiving just
let them be, they will dance their hearts out then take a nap during the
sermon.
13.
The Wale Adenuga’s
Testimony time and ten minutes into their testimony
they say “in a nutshell” and carry on for ten more minutes. Testimony
time not “Oh Father Oh Daughter” seasons 1-5.
14.
The False Prophets
“Sister Toke, I saw a vision and God said I should marry you”, “brother Paul, I think God has put you in my path”.
