In a bizarre online spat that's got Nigerians buzzing on X (formerly Twitter), an RCCG youth pastor has publicly cursed a woman to die tonight after she repeatedly called him "mr" in lowercase, refusing to acknowledge his self-proclaimed "Dr" title. The drama unfolded earlier today, drawing thousands of views, laughs, and sharp criticisms from netizens who accused the pastor of misusing his "anointing" for personal ego trips.
The feud kicked off when Pastor Bola Abiodun, who goes by @b_abiodun4 on X and describes himself in his bio as a husband, father of four, and a first-class honors graduate from "Lamba University" in Yola, Nigeria, corrected UK-based Tomisin, known on the platform as @tomisin_ms. Tomisin, a health and safety professional and mother living in the UK, had referred to him as "mr" in a reply. Abiodun fired back: "I'm a 'Dr', not a 'Mr'. Don't refer to me as MR again. I'm not your mate."
Instead of backing down, Tomisin doubled down with a cheeky troll, replying "mr with the small m." What followed was a hilarious yet escalating exchange where she spammed "mr" multiple times in successive posts, clearly enjoying the back-and-forth. Abiodun, growing increasingly agitated, warned her about his "anointing," quoting the Bible: "I'm anointed man of god. I can curse you now and it'll take effect for the rest of your lives. Bible says touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. Try me and see. I'm a messenger from god."
He upped the ante, claiming he's a "dangerous man" whose "tongue carries fire" and pitying her enough not to issue a "lifelong curse." Tomisin, unfazed, responded: "I’m bored now, when are you going to show me how dangerous you are mr bola abiodun?"
The climax came when Abiodun formally pronounced the curse: "I, Pastor Dr Bola Abiodun, hereby pronounce a curse on u that if you don't retract & apologize for not calling me by my appropriate titles, u shall pass on to glory in your sleep at 11pm on 23rd Feb, '26. If you wake up tomorrow morning then I'm not a man of God& I'm a bastard." He later reinforced it, pleading with others not to beg on her behalf: "Please nobody should beg me on behalf of this girl o. She disrespected me and I've placed a curse on her. No one can mess with my anointing and go scot free."
As the 11pm deadline approaches (that's 10pm GMT for Tomisin in the UK), X users have turned the thread into a meme fest. One user quipped, "3 hrs 49 minutes to go 😅," while another mocked, "Everybody say merlin 🤣🤣." Religious commentators weighed in too, with one saying, "Dear MR Abiodun, do you know you cannot curse a man whom Jesus hung on the cross for??? Your curse is causeless." Others questioned the pastor's behavior: "Pastor for bible dey preach. Apostle's dey raise dead. But see pastor here dey curse member. Doctor wey suppose treat sick won kill person. Mr biodun oga o."
Tomisin hasn't retracted or apologized, and her last visible activity in the thread was hours ago. Netizens are bookmarking the posts, eagerly awaiting tomorrow to see if Abiodun will own up to his bold claim. "If 11pm knack and nothing do this girl I go too curse you Dr Mr Bola Abiodun 😂," one user threatened in reply.
This incident has sparked broader conversations about titles in Nigerian religious circles, where pastors often demand reverence for academic or spiritual honors. Abiodun's bio proudly flaunts his "First Class Hons." degree and RCCG role at Christ the Rock Parish, but critics argue such ego-driven clashes undermine the message of love and forgiveness in Christianity.
