He stated that the boys later left the church and joined another nearby church that welcomed them with open arms.
A group of internet fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo boys, has reportedly gifted an industrial generator to a church in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, as a token of appreciation.
According to a Twitter user, Chris Popoola, who revealed this on the platform, the boys gifted the church the generator for welcoming them and not condemning their activities, unlike other places of worship.
Chris mentioned that during his time as a student pastor at a church near the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho (LAUTECH), the senior pastor of his church frequently criticized the activities of Yahoo boys, which caused them to stop attending services.
He stated that the boys later left the church and joined another nearby church that welcomed them with open arms.
He further revealed that not long after, news spread that the Yahoo boys had collectively purchased a noiseless generating set, commonly known as a “Mikano gen,” as a gesture of appreciation for the church that accepted them without condemnation.
“When I was a student pastor in a church in the LAUTECH area, I remember how Yahoo boys stopped coming to our church and flocked to this other church because my senior pastor wouldn’t stop warning them.
Not long after, we heard that the Yahoo boys bought a Mikano gen for this other church. The point of my story is this: sinners know where to go when they want to hear the truth of God’s word, and they know where to go when they seek validation.
Don’t let yourself be a place that validates a sinful lifestyle; instead, be a place where they find conviction by the Holy Spirit,”
he narrated.
