Reacting, Omokri in a post via his Twitter account said the pastors made the right decision by not attending the late T.B Joshua’s burial.

According to him, “It’s hypocritical to attend a burial of someone you didn’t associate with her was alive.

He further noted that people should only attend funeral of people they associated with while they were still alive.

“In religion, politics or entertainment, people usually attend funerals of those they associated with while they lived.

“If you did not associate with someone while alive, and they did not associate with you while they were alive, it is hypocritical to go for their burial,” he wrote.
