A Nigerian man has alleged that gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey blocked him on social media. The young man identified as @afambeluxo on Elon Musk X expressed frustration over the musician’s alleged action and aligned it with the Christian doctrine.
@afambeluxo did not state precisely what he did that got him blocked by the preacher, but hinted that it was because of a difference in opinion. He went on to ask if Jesus Christ had done the same to him if he had access to the present-day social media.

The internet user further suggested that Nigerian Christianity needs some reflection and accountability.
He wrote:
“Nathaniel Bassey blocked me, tell me, is that Christ-like? If Jesus had social media in his time, would he be blocking people for having differing opinions? This right here is why I keep saying Nigerian Christianity needs a serious audit. We’ve lost the essence.”

Reactions to Nathaniel Bassey’s alleged actions
OSG compiled the reactions below:
@SamdGreat01:
“The block button is used to set boundaries. I also block people who insult me or try toe that line or keep pestering me without understanding. I’ve had people block me too, it’s no issue. Yes, I’m a preacher of the gospel. Is it Christ like? Yes! Jesus walked away from situations that are toxic or could easily become violent. Even Apostle Paul and Apostle Barnabas had to “block” each other for a while to avoid reoccurring conflicts. It’s a way of “pursuing peace with all men” without getting aggravated by the other person’s behaviour. I don’t know what happened between you and Pastor Nath, but one thing I know is that anyone is permitted to block so far it’s their personal account.”

“You’re blocked and remain blocked.”
@FadaChristmas_:
“You are very funny, I don’t support him o, but isi adicharo gi MMA.”
@Kanrabbai:
“Unfortunately for you, Pst Bassey isn’t Jesus Christ and no one can be compared to Jesus the perfect one. But that doesn’t mean it’s cool for him to block you as he’s a public figure in the body of Christ. The question now is what did you do? Then we can judge since you’ve brought it to us.”
@detutusgram:
“He is HUMAN! He is not JESUS! If you disturb his peace, he has every right to block you so you won’t make him do what he ordinarily won’t want to do!! Peace be still.”
@veekeeskitchen_:
“Which Jesus? The one wey flog Okpa woman Koboko for back? Be grateful he only blocked you sir.”
@MaziAwkaetiti:
“But you dey block people na. Abi, nwanna, are you not also a Christian? If you are not, whatever religion you tilt towards, you are also an ambassador of such. Use this mirror for your side too! Odi kwa mkpa.”
