In an astonishing twist, a church situated near Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho (LAUTECH), has been acknowledged by a group of individuals commonly referred to as "Yahoo Boys" for their non-condemning stance towards their activities, setting them apart from other places of worship.
The account was recounted by Chris Popoola, a former student pastor at the church, who shared his firsthand experience and provided insights into the significance of the incident.
According to Chris, during his tenure as a student pastor, the church's senior pastor consistently condemned the actions of Yahoo Boys, leading to their subsequent disengagement from participating in church services.
In search of acceptance and empathy, these individuals sought refuge in a neighboring church that embraced them without passing judgment for their deeds.
The unexpected turn of events unfolded when word circulated that the Yahoo Boys had unitedly acquired a silent generator, popularly known as a "Mikano gen," as a heartfelt gesture of appreciation towards the accepting church.
The purpose of the new generator was to mitigate noise disturbances during church services, serving as a tangible expression of their gratefulness.
Through this anecdote, Chris used the incident as a poignant illustration of sinners' quest for validation and spiritual counsel, underscoring a deeper message.
