NIGERIAN PASTOR SAYS UMLANDO DANCE IS DEMONIC A video of the prophet has gone viral on social media after making the claims, saying he was shown how demonic the Umlando dance is.
--
There is this dance that came newly. If you remember the girls dance this way, the man of God said in his sermon as he tried to imitate the dance.
He then told his congregation that before the dance was introduced, he saw that dance in the realm of the spirit.
Yes. The Lord took me there. I saw how the demons manufactured that dance style and unleashed that dance into the atmosphere, into the media.
The pastor went on to claim that many girls have hosted that demon .
Guess what? So many girls all over the world have hosted that demon. So in their so-called slightest TikTok, they wear something tight and then he said as he imitated the twerking movement again.

SOCIAL MEDIA SLAMS THE PROPHET When the Umlando dance challenge was introduced by Toss in January this year, social media users agreed that it would mostly be boys who joined the challenge, and it was indeed boys who partook more.
Netizens made this very point, as they slammed the unknown pastor. Others called his claims nonsensical as hip-shaking and twerking is a well-known dance style which has been around for years.
The way these pastors refuse to address the fact that they're obsessed with young girls, is scary, a tweep wrote.
Lmfaoooo When you see them shouting and sweating like this, you'll know that it is nonsense they're saying, another replied.
Just another day for pastors to be misogynistic and hide behind the Bible, umlando started with men tho? Preach about salvation and leave judge Judy's work to judge Judy, wrote another tweep.

How you can tell that this pastor is an idiot, is that if you look at as many African cultures as possible, you'll see that shaking ass and hips dances are a very common feature of most African cultures, and almost all are danced by men, not just women. https://t.co/A2YnvoAsZl

Pastor is admitting he watched many girls in their tight skirt do the dance on TikTok. Oga was probably caught by his wife while watching it then decided to preach about it because his excuse was probably "research" https://t.co/bsIDJYZCc4
