Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has weighed in on the conversation surrounding preaching in commercial buses, stating, “Preaching in buses is not Nigeria’s problem.”
Speaking during a recent message, Bamiloye argued that the nation’s most pressing challenges extend beyond public evangelism. He encouraged believers and policymakers to focus on addressing deeper issues affecting society while continuing to uphold the freedom to share the Gospel responsibly and respectfully.
His remarks have sparked discussion among Christians and the wider public. Some agreed that Nigeria faces more urgent concerns, such as insecurity, economic hardship, and corruption, while others emphasised the importance of balancing freedom of religious expression with respect for public spaces and the rights of others.
The comments have also renewed conversations about evangelism, civic responsibility, and the role of faith in addressing societal challenges. Many believers stressed that sharing the Gospel should always be done with wisdom, love, and consideration for those being addressed.
As the discussion continues, Mike Bamiloye’s statement has encouraged many to reflect on both the importance of evangelism and the need to work towards solutions to the broader issues affecting the nation.
