Julianna Olayode Defends Pastors: 'They’re Not Activists, Their Role Is to Pray and Counsel'
Nollywood actress Julianna Olayode has responded to criticism of church leaders who remain silent on Nigeria’s security challenges. She acknowledged pastors can speak on social issues but warned against assuming silence equals indifference. Olayode emphasized that many pastors serve under divine authority, offering prayer, counsel and behind-the-scenes support rather than public statements. She noted that Scripture shows God’s servants often intercede privately and engage leaders personally. She also took aim at the viral Holy Spirit trend, cautioning social media users not to mock something sacred. The actress reminded fans of her past dispute with Pastor Timi Adigun, where she alleged he took control of her social accounts and mistreated her sister.
