Tuesday afternoon, social media went agog with many persons posting the inscription ‘JESUS’ on all platforms. Many others changed their display picture to ‘JESUS’.
Hence, ‘JESUS’ trended all Tuesday and into Wednesday on all social media platforms, especially Twitter.
It started when popular Nigerian gospel musician, Nathaniel Bassey put out a tweet urging people to make the name of ‘JESUS’ their display picture at noon.
Can we Make this picture our profile picture and tweet at 12 noon? 🤷♂️.Let’s release this precious ointment over our land and nation. JESUS.

His follow-up tweet showed that his call was connected to the killing of dozens of people at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state on Sunday.
Owo - Ondo state, and other parts of our nation in pain, We pray for you. May the Lord of all comfort, comfort all in pain and sorrow. Evil shall never prevail. And wicked shall not go unpunished. In Jesus’ name.

Meanwhile, some Twitter users pointed out that ‘JESUS’ won’t vote for Nigerians in the 2023 General Election hence the need for citizens to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and cast their ballots.
Don’t have a problem with religion, let’s be factual Jesus won’t come down to sort our problem, let’s start in our own little way by getting our PVC ready to vote. pic.twitter.com/DF1HEJRfIV

@lauraoko responded by acknowledging but asking such users to let those posting the Jesus image and hashtag to do so in peace.
We know we will get our PVC’s and vote!

We know Jesus won’t vote for us !
But allow us post our Jesus In peace!
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.>>> psalm 127:1.
Rest in Jesus name!
