Apostle Gideon Odoma, a televangelist from Nigeria, has stated that it is disrespectful for anyone to think that he and French football player Kylian Mbappe have similar appearances.
He made the statement in a Twitter post in response to analogies made after a video of him preaching went viral.
A man simply identified as Seye had asked religious extremists if it was wrong to compare a cleric to a footballer.
He asked; “I hope it is not dishonour to say Apostle Gideon Odoma looks like Kylian Mbappe
In response, Odoma stated that he is older than the Real Madrid attacker and hence cannot be said to resemble Mbappe.
Quoting Seye’s post, he wrote; “It is. I am older than him. So, I can’t be the one looking like him. I was here, with this ‘look,’ before he was born. That’s why I can’t be the one looking like him. Any more inquiries?”

@voosiki; it’s actually from the perspective of the one who the inquirer knew first
@tokinigeorge; Totally agree sir. Social media can blur the lines of respect & age, in unnecessary cruise sometimes. I’m guilty too, cos I did write same thing but thanks for pointing it.
@bravheartz; This here is exactly the problem with Africa and why we may never evr see progress….am an elder in the fam/society so everything I say shut up and listen, wer like the pharises very very custom and traditions abiding and religious…God aka love is a secondary.
