House on the Rock Church’s Senior Pastor, Paul Adefarasin, has controversially asserted that Nigeria did not originate from divine intervention.
He shared this perspective during a recent Sunday sermon, sparking widespread discourse.
The influential preacher argued that Nigeria emerged from colonial machinations rather than heavenly design, claiming British rulers shaped the nation for economic exploitation.
Dismissing faith-based narratives about Nigeria’s founding, he emphasized that geopolitical power plays, not spiritual destiny, determined the country’s borders.
“I firmly reject the notion that God created Nigeria. That belief is deeply flawed. Historical records reveal Queen Elizabeth’s negotiations with the Ottoman Empire, documented in texts like The Martyrdom of Man, show Africa’s fate was decided by imperial bargaining.
These foreign powers allocated territories without regard for divine will—but we must focus not on politics today. The church exists to repair humanity’s errors, serving as society’s moral compass through truth and righteousness,” Adefarasin declared.
He further condemned Nigeria’s constitutional framework as fraudulent, alleging military imposition rather than democratic consensus.
Citing Psalm 11:3, he warned that the nation’s crumbling infrastructure mirrors its unstable political underpinnings.
The pastor also lambasted systemic corruption, citing deteriorating roads as evidence of institutional failure under successive governments.
