The senior pastor at Resurrecting Faith Church in Waco, Texas has advised his female congregation not to wear weaves to church. 39 year old Pastor A.J. Aamir said he grew wary of looking out
over his congregation and seeing a sea of hair weaves.
Pastor Aamir feels women wearing weaves presents a false image of
themselves and are associated with women who have low self-esteem.
“Our black women are getting weaves trying to be something and
someone they are not. Be real with yourself is all I’m saying,” Pastor
A.J. Aamir told AmericaPreachers.com.
He said he “highly disapproves” of women wearing weave in his church, where the average age of the congregation is 22. Meaning most female members wear weaves.
“Long hair don’t care. What kind of mess is that? I don’t want my
members so focused on what’s on their heads and not in their heads. I lead a church where our members are struggling financially. I mean
really struggling. “Yet, a 26-year-old mother in my church has a $300
weave on her head. No. I will not be quiet about this.”
But why is a pastor concerning himself with a woman's hair? I thought it was more about what's in your heart and soul and not what's on your head? Anyway, I'm sure he’ll change his mind when tithes and offering decreases. Then he will be yelling 'All weaves aboard' Lol. #kidding. Your thoughts?

Being a pastor is not only about salvation but leadership. I think he has the responsibility to teach them to be financially responsible and not squander money. If they have enough money then they can do what they want, but since he said they are struggling then its ok to advice them. Linda he never said ban by the way, he just advised them not to wear it. please stop changing story
U dey mind d fake pastor! Maybe e don toast one babe with long hair, she no agree na e vex am so! God is not after our outward appearance, he knows thoes who truly worships Him in spirit n truth!
Then clearly you haven't heard of MFM or Deeper life. Some churches don't condone what they don't condone. I do weaves and make up but I like the fact that some churches have stood their ground firmly on what they don't accept even in our time when it seems like everything goes. As the saying goes. He who stands for nothing will fall for anything!
GBAM!Pastor Olukoya is one o. He says it as it is and says people are free to go else where. Love that! It should be about God not man!
Sip alomo* diff preachings everyoda dα̲̅Ɣ,ok#noted#
a lot of people will be shock when they die about the truth including some pators.Pls do not get me wrong not saying the pst is wrong.Cos pple do not know what to believe any longer.wisdow is to found out the truth b4 u die.Hell is real.
some pple r dealing with serious hair loss nd tnks to weave dey can confidently socialize,d pastor shuld v jst concentrated on teachin dem how to set eir priorities rite,mke dem see reasons y if need be 2 wear weave u dnt v to invest too much on it, dere beta tinz to do.d only commandment 2 be followed is dt 4rm d holy book nt a pastor's own, hye is jst a caretaker nd can share opinion nt enforce it. EVE
Linda, your comment just shows how shallow-minded you are. How can u say such a thing???!!!! You think the man will bend his rules bcoz of tithes??!! I honestly do not think so. Please try and be more reasonable with ur hogwash statements ok. And by the way, I aint a christian and I see a lot of point in what the Pastor says. You should see more sense than I do, being a Christian and not rush at making silly comments. You are loosing it Linda.
I believe Linda has a right to her opinion d same way u do, beside at first it sounded like he cared for his congregation but think about it truthfully if they are having financial problems no 1 would have to tell dem to stop buying weaves and for the fact that he actually found out the price of the weaves, it either his paying for it or his offering bags r light #justsaying. Cheers. BM
What are we talking about here,we need such pastors to straighten out society. We expect our African Pastors to outrightly talk in church about the burning issue of skin bleaching which is a hot potato..Pastors takeover and sensitize these skin burning women who are blinded by the beauty instinct.. God Save The Black Race
I think the woman in general she be proud of themselves
God is interested in your heart and whole body. But that pastor is bold. The average naija pastor will never try that... make tithe/offering revenue no go fall... many would rather preach what will bring members... whether good or bad!
Excellent comment. Most folks commenting here are not thinking.
Am I the only one that noticed PC meant to say 'DECREE' and not 'DEGREE'??! Lol.
Well about the hair issue, I have always admired women with well groomed hair whether fake or real. So it's a personal thing and it's best if everyone is left alone to make that choice whether to fix or not to fix a weave. The evil in it is what some ladies have to do to acquire one ....or the false esteem they get when they can afford an expensive one, while others can't. But true, there's definitely something not Christ-like about buying 70,000 naira weaves while majority of the masses are living in poverty....or young people unable to even afford to buy a jamb form. Sooooo, PRIORITIZE.
LINDA,PLS DON'T MISLEAD PEOPLE WITH YOUR OPINION BECAUSE YOU'RE A ROLEMODEL TO SOME YOUTHS AND ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF HAIR WEAVING OR APPEARANCE,PLS CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU WOULD KNOW A VERY RIPE FRUIT FROM AN UNRIPE FRUIT? DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO SLICE THE ORANGE TO KNOW IF IT IS SPOILT OR NOT? PLS DON'T BRING UP THE ISSUE OF GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART BECAUSE WHETHER YOU WEAR RAIN/WINTER COAT OR BIKINI TO WORK OR ELSEWHERE,THE ALL-SEEING GOD SEES ALL THINGS. BUT PLS WEAR A SPAGHETTI TOP THAT REALLY SHOWS YOUR BREAST AND A MINISKIRT THAT SHOWS US THE SHAPE OF YOUR BUM AND TELL ME,"I WANNA EVANGELISE TO YOU" AND YOU THINK I'LL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. HOW DO YOU KNOW A SOLDIER? OF COURSE,IT'S BY HIS UNIFORM AND THE SAME ISSUE OF APPEARANCE MATTERS INCLUDING YOUR HAIR. NOW WHEN YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN i.e.BORN AGAIN,THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGE IN YOUR INSIDE STARTING WITH PURIFICATION AND SANCTIFICATION OF YOUR HEART THAT WILL REFLECT OUTWARDLY,AFFECTING YOUR BEHAVIOUR,DRESSING ETC. THIS IS WHY THERE IS LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND UNBELIEVERS(PEOPLE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN RULES AND GIVING FLIMSY EXCUSES TO PLEASE THEMSELVES),INSTEAD OF PATTERNING THEIR LIFESTYLE ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST! HOW MANY OF US ARE MINDFUL OF HEAVEN AND RAPTURE. IF YOU ARE THEN YOU WON'T MIND INCONVENIENCING YOURSELF TO PLEASE GOD. THAT INCLUDES HAIRSTYLE,DON'T GO AFTER THINGS THAT WON'T LAST,I'M NOT SAYING DON'T MAKE YOUR HAIR BUT BACK TO THE STORY OF THE POOR LADY WITH AN EXPENSIVE HAIRSTYLE.ISN'T THIS OUTRIGHT FOOLISHNESS.DO YOU LADIES EVEN KNOW IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE ARTIFICIAL HAIR HAS ANY BONDAGE OR PROBLEMS THAT COULD TRANSFER TO YOU BY USING IT ON YOUR HEAD.THOSE OF YOUR OUT THERE WHO PURSUE VANITY, WELL IT PROFITS YOU NOTHING TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL.GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY. FOR THE PASTOR IN THIS MATTER,A TRUE PASTOR AND MINISTER OF GOD MUST DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO MAKE SURE HIS MOST OF HIS MEMBERS MAKE IT TO HEAVEN AND CORRECT THEM PROPERLY.IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CHURCH,YOU'RE FREE TO LEAVE BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS BTTTER TO SWALLOW.LET'S NOT DECEIVE OURSELVES! I THINK IF THE PASTOR WAS AFTER MORE MONEY,HE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO WHAT YOU LIKE. IN THE THINGS OF GOD,YOU ARE NO MORE IN CONTROL OF YOURSELF,BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU DO THINGS NOT ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL BUT TO HIS WILL. SO I WILL NOT CONDEMN ANY ONE BECAUSE HALF A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.
Before you judge please understand that we are all from different backgrounds and after all this is Waco we are talking about. He pastors a black church where about 90% of the female congregation are on welfare. What do you think will be left off when a single mother spends over $300 on tracks?
I don't know his motives but it sure makes sense what he said.
A woman gets 500 check from the govt, takes out 300 for her hair , 100 for groceries, 100 for some of her bills she is left with 0. yet there are more bills, insurance and other stuff she and her kids will need.
Solution to her problem
1. Prostitute (or fornicate/adultery as the case maybe) and make more kids
2. deal drugs
3.go to the pastor to help with the bills.
So does it not balance the equation if they take the weaves out of it?
It amazes me how people go to any length to defend how dey appear in the presence of God bt dis same people will vehemently oppose gay right and will even put them to death if given the oppourtunity.kai judgement day go dey interesting oh #cant wait#
Most of the women wearing weaves all the sides are chopped and balding..what are they called again.."Iya Eko"..
More to the point..the stuff babes do in order to acquire their weaves..
As someone said Deeper Life is still striving..and Linda raise the Posts without putting your own spin on it..
Its as a result of ur stinginess dah u supportin d pastor@Zynab
I'm with you linda! This is rubbish! The man should take a seat! Like we don't have enough problem in d churches! How d hell is the weave affecting him! A woman needs to look good to make her happy inside. He is a man and knows nothing about that... olodo pastor. I really dnt care what his reasons are mm yeah yeah I'm bitter cause I've had comments on ma hair too. Of how ts always too long and flashy! Mshweeee
Why add as black women? It dnt matter black white or Asian they all use hair extensions..so dnt make it about black women.
Bia Linda sometimes d way u Tink ehn
To paraphrase everything he said: he is tryna say,Y put on Brazilian hair of 50k y u live with ur parents in a room face me n face u apartment. Dats all
THE PASTOR IS RIGHT, AS WOMEN AND AS A CHILD OF GOD, GOD GAVE US HAIR WHY PUT ON ANOTHER. LET'S LIVE A MODEST LIFE SERVING GOD IN ALL MODESTY. THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, GUARD YOUR HEART FOR OUT OF IT COMES THE ISSUES OF LIFE. SALVATION IS NOT ONLY IN OUR HEART IT IS ALSO IN OUR DRESSING, FASHION AND ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Pls!! He is concerned.why shud anyone spend so much money on weaves when it can be invested in their business or education
i really think he said it well...
everything God made is beautiful!!! flaunt ur natural hair. i know some babes after loosing out deir weave, dey cant chill 1hours before dey cover it up again.very badt! some guys appreciate when ladies flaunt deir natural look. lets 4get abt what d pastor and d church now, lets talk fact.
Tnxx pst ope thEy will listen sha,
Natural hair or hair extensions...I dunno 4 u buh God judges d heart...if u rock ur natural hair n wht u do doesn't pls God of wht good is dt?! So the ish is for sumone to know God! Once u know God u'l know how to please him. Shikena
Good move from the Pastor
Read Juicy gist HERE
Romans 12:1 advices that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship, - what you put on your body matters to God, you are invariably telling God he is not perfect, when you put on weaves and make-ups (making up what
God did not create well)be warned, God has standard for those going to Heaven, as a believer you must be without blemish,besides most of these human hairs come from shrines,in india, i have my facts
I use hair extensions and that doesn't mean I have self esteem issues...so please who ever is bringin self esteem as an excuse should have several seats biko
-peaches-
U people should leave linda bikonu...everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Keep shut if u have nothing to say! Anyone who calls linda daft is actuali d daft one...bb
U RIGHT PASTOR. BLACK WOMEN ESPECIALLY NIGERIAN WOMEN HAVE A LOT OF LOW SELF ESTEEM THATS WHY U SEE THEM BLEACHING, HEAVY MAKEUPS AND PLENTY ATTACHMENTS LIKE JUJU. AM GLAD THEY ARE STILL MEN WHO STILL HAVE SOME BRAINS. RIDE ON PASTOR. FINALLY THE CHURCH IS GETTING BACK TO IT'S SENSES
i total agree, a lot of us xtians are becoming too worldly. Kudus Pastor ti o gba nonsense
@linda the guy is concerned about the fact this his congregationis filled with broke asses who complain of not having money yet waste an exchange rate of 40,000 on just hair...... is it ideal to do such when you have no food to eat? its call stupidity and xtian's are the most gullible people i've ever known. none of his concern was directed at righteousness. I think the pastor is reasoning the right direction.
Watch what u say that it might not stand against u on de D-day.the pastor is the shepherd while his followers are the sheep.woe betide the shepherd who for personal reasons deliberately put his flocks in harms way.
If it were a fashion for people to go naked, the face would hardly be noticed.Ur looks speaks more for u than ur thoughts and lets not deceive ourselves with the generally misleading slogan of what matters is the heart and not what u put on.

Plss!!! Salvation is a personal thing. He has don his job as a 'shepherd', he has advised his flock as he should, he shld not ban them from church cuz I don't c how that will change anything.
Interesting.
Pls guys ,visit www.omgville.blogspot.com if you love fashion. U will LOVE it!
i am very disappointed that even this blog we ask such ridiculous question or make such comments. please u never wat God told the pastor. please be careful
and fear God.
Why do people think the church of God needs tithe and offering to survive.Linda,God is not a beggar!His church does not need your tithe or offering to survive.I've observed lately that you have a phobia for men of God.You're beginning to make me think that the allegations laid against you were true cos judging from your opinions these days your ways don't seem pure!
If you like,don't post my comment.
LadyF
Dere r sumtins dat jst shldn't b published or talked abt cos dis totally makes no sense and bsides hu cares?.
@anon 8:34 its still their real hair so it doesn't matter . The pastor is referring to attaching other peoples hair to your head , your hair is your glory .
Linda, I disagree with you. This pastor IS concerned with the heart and soul. He is trying to encourage young women to realize that there is not one standard of beauty, that as strong, black women we are much more than the hair we wear. He recognizes the financial struggle of his congregation and desires to guide them towards being fiscally responsible. He may be a bit extreme by banning the hair weaves altogether (and I am all for weaves! :)) but his intentions are definitely good ones. And about the tithes, you can see that he has probably thought this through and cares more about the emotional well-being and self-confidence of the members of the church he pastors than what he takes home from the offering baskets every week.
I support him 200%! The vast majority of black women who wear weaves in the US do so because they face enormous societal pressure to fit into a European standard of beauty. If you haven't done so, make an effort to see Chris Rock's documentary 'Good Hair' and also read some of the work that has been done on hair weaves and the black community in the US. A situation were poor black women spend thousands of dollars on weaves instead of applying it to more beneficial things for themselves, their children and families makes no sense. It also makes no sense that the group of women that is among the poorest in the US actually spends loads more on hair weaves and products than any other group of females in the US. The pastor has spoken truthfully about a situation that needs to be addressed. And Linda, the fact that you are a weave fanatic does not give you the right to minimise the importance of the message the pastor is passing across. May be you should educate yourself more on the politics of hair in the black community in the US.
AND as for my Nigerian weave wearing sisters, isn't it ridiculous that someone sews another person's (or animal's) hair on her head and goes around feeling on top of the world? Isn't it especially laughable when such a person does a hair flip and tries to act the way white and Asian women do with their hair? Wake up guys and learn to love what God has given you instead of spending money on a consumer product that enriches other nations (and peoples) and adds no substantial value to you or your community and nation.
Linda, you don't know these afro-american women. PASTOR, SPEAK THE ALOE VERA BITTER TRUTH.
-these women wld rather spend ridiculous amounts of money to stitch another person's hair on her heas than use that money to pay her house rent and other bills.
-If you see how much they spend on weave...yet their babies which they have from different men go hungry and uneducated.
If someone sums up the amount of cash they spend on these fake hairs, it is enough to carry out complete university education, right to bachelor's degree at least. And i say AT LEAST cos in some cases, it can even lead to a Masters;
So Ms Ikeji,it's about common sense and right priorities.
By the way, what is wrong with your african hair?
IS IT NOT THE GOD YOU CLAIM TO LOVE SO MUCH WHO CREATED U WITH IT?
I am yet to see a white, latina or indian woman sew her head ENTIRELY with a nappy weave.
They won't. Do u know why?
1)They don't see the point of doing that; they find it crazy. You don't believe me? Ask any non-black woman; if she's sincere, she'll tell u the truth. I mean sewn-in weave, not extensions that you can clip and unclip at will
2) THESE NON BLACK WOMEN FEEL YOU AFRICAN WOMEN ARE BELOW THEM AND THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU; WEARING YOUR NAPPY HAIR WILL MEAN STOOPING DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL.UNWRITTEN RULES OF SUPERIORITY COMPLEX,BABY.
3)On the other hand, u wear their hair because whether u admit it or not, you envy and covet their hair and feel their hair is better than yours. And consciously or unconsciously, you prove that they are Superior to u.
And the Korean hair sellers mock u and smile their way to the bank, their kids go to the best schools and get the best education, while u impoverish yourselves by buying their hair with NO RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
A number of comments here have referred to the fact that some women wear weaves because they are suffering from hair loss. We need to understand that a lot of the hair loss black women experience is directly due to poor management of their hair. The chemicals in hair relaxers (especially when not properly applied) can and do damage hair follicles. [And for those of you who might not be aware, some recent research suggests that the high incidence of fibroids in black women might be attributable to the chemicals that seep into their bodies via the scalp when relaxers are used. Some of these chemicals in relaxers are also suspected of being triggers for weight gain.] In addition to chemical hair relaxers, braiding and weaving of hair as well as extended use of hair weaves also cause hair loss in black women. This is due to the stress that is placed on the hair when the braiding or weaving is too tight. This normally causes traction alopecia; usually more visible around the hair line, hence, mama iyabo. If you read a number of the natural hair blogs on line, you will find a lot of shared experiences from women whose hair bounced back after they got rid of the hair relaxers and tight braids and weaves. Black women need to educate themselves more about how to care for their hair in order to reduce the incidence of hair loss traceable to poor hair management.
Is there something in the weave on that makes women get so fascinated by it?
What is inside the head of our women?
I know a man that begged his wife to stop using the weaves and it almost turned into a quarrel?
What is in it?
Have these Chinese makers put something in the weaves to bind our women to it?
Hungry stomachs, expensive weaves! foolishness of the first order.
Pastor, ride on!
PASTOR RIDE ON!
I saw the article and many pissed women (black women of course) are threatening to leave the Church but the pastor is standing his ground.
LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD BECAUSE ONLY THE TRUTH SETS FREE. LIES HAVE NEVER FREED AND WILL NEVER FREE ANYONE!
Imagine struggling on a low income and spending it on weave!!! Why do black women have so much difficulty in using logic?
BLACK WOMEN, YOUR ADDICTION FOR WEAVES AND REFUSAL TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN HAIR WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR DOOM!!!
Instead of thinking constructively, you remain in your ignorance and cuss out anyone who tries to reason with u.
YOU WILL END UP BALD LIKE THE ARROGANT WOMEN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH PORTRAYED WHEN GOD SPOKE AGAINST THE ARROGANCE AND PRIDE OF ISRAELITE WOMEN. THAT IS WHY YOU SEE LESS AND LESS AFRICAN WOMEN HAVING NATURAL LONG HAIR.
Was it like that in our grandmothers' days? Go look at those old black and white pics.Look at their hairs. Their heads were full of hair which beautifully groomed,whether in afro or plaits or threaded. And there were no weaves nor relaxers or any of that sophisticated nonesense.
Abeg, the pastor makes sense. It has nothing to do with money. Truth cannot be bought.
And we complain when research show we are the least attractive race in the world.
Which other race covers their whole head with someone else's hair?and i don't mean extensions.These are two different things.
And you move about with that hair-hat on your head for two months without taking it down...with this our climate where you sweat a lot...i can imagine the stench. Like you've been sleeping on top of a dead rat.And u wonder why your boyfriend(s) changes immediately his (their) pillowcase the next day anytime you spend the night at his (their) place.
AFRICAN QUEENS (IS THAT NOT HOW YOU LOVE CALLING YOURSELVES?)YES AFRICAN QUEENS, WHO FEEL THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL ONLY WHEN THEY SEWN ANOTHER PERSON'S HAIR;
YOU HAVE BECOME A UNIVERSAL JOKE. PEOPLE FEED OFF YOUR IGNORANCE AND LACK OF COMMONSENSE!
IN VENEZUELA, INNOCENT WOMEN ARE HAIR-ROBBED AND KILLED JUST TO SATISFY YOUR SENSELESS CRAVING.
SINCE U LOVE THOSE FOREIGN HAIRS SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU SEW THEM IN YOUR PRIVATE PARTS AND ARMPITS WHILE U ARE AT IT?
You look like DRAG QUEENS with those things hanging on your face.
You traded your crown for filth.
THE AFRICAN QUEEN HAS FALLEN!!!
Make una leave pastor out of this matter for a little moment . Please let us reason together. If u think the pastor is lying or exaggerrating, ask the men in your lives (father, husband, cousin, colleagues,fiancé etc). Ask them what they think about those fur helmets you wear on your heads. Insist that you want a sincere answer no matter what it may cost you.
You will be baffled at their different responses...
Black women would rather ruin themselves rather than take time to learn how to manage their own hair. Their excuse "it's unmanageable". No it's not. It's you that's completely ignorant on how to manage it. Do your research. There are more and more natural hair blogs with women with the coarsest hair textures who are a living testimony that you can have beautiful unrelaxed long hair.
african Queens, reclaim your God-given crown;
what kind of queen wears another woman's crown on her head?
John Sule, stop shouting. Total eyesore typing in caps.
Black women have been thoroughly brainwashed. Some black women will not dare step out of the house without that greasy,smelly mermaid hair that even looks so fake on them. They feel they are only beautiful with those things sewn on their hair. How sad!
Black women, reprogram yourselves.You are beautiful, including your hair.
You claim God does not make mistakes, so why do u keep on hiding your hair under these saudi arabian horse hairs? The owner of the horse must be loaded by now, lol.
On a more serious note,Stop trying to be a version of what you're not and will never be.it's senseless, pointless and downright silly.
You are unique. Embrace everything about you including your nappy hair. Love it, care for it, groom it and this hair you hate so much and want to hide will return you the love by growing and developping a healthy sheen everyone will admire.God bless
#Team Natural#
So you call a church an 'organisation'?
Weaves and wigs were originally made for cancer patients and those losing their hair to chemotherapy;
This weave craze is going out of proportion. You even see very Young teenage girls moving about with these things. Women get robbed just because of their hair. Where are we going?
We blacks have become the joke of other races; it's gone to the point where non-blacks are actually suprised when they see a black woman with long natural hair because they are convinced we all parade with fake hair glued on our scalps. Outwardly, they do not seem to care, but talk to them one on one... u won't like what they'll tell u.
Watin come be this one now ! Infact make him take am say na Hair-tie . Afterall women are surpose to cover their hiars in church ...So please lets get to the Basis ..MAN OF GOD !....
Black women do not love weaves anymore.
THEY HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO THEM. HELP! WE NEED DELIVERANCE!
Recently, Foxy Brown, yes o,
FOXY BROWN got caught stealing 900 dollars worth of weave at one mall. What did she do with all her money when she was at the top? Living flashy lifestyle of course!
Google it! it's in the internet. She got caught by a salesgirl who filmed the scene with her phone.
Mrs BEYONCE CARTER HERSELF got ridiculed by her blonde weave.
This is gettin out of hand. PLEASE WE NEED SERIOUS DELIVERANCE!! VERY SOON OUR BABIES WILL WEAR WEAVES!
Those of you who say weaves, make up etc are of the devil, clothes are of the devil too so you should go around naked!
And as for you Linda you only select comments you post(not the rude ones)...well go on with that till no one comments on your blog again! Rubbish
THE PASTOR IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH!
It is not Taliban christianity. It's a fact!
Do non-black women cover their whole heads with foreigh hair to look beautiful??? Does the indian or latina woman do that?
Care for your natural hair, groom it well. We have the advantage of having creative hair styles which we can do with our own hair.
Instead of cussing and starting pointless arguments, will it kill us to sit down and reflect on what he said and why he said it? Are u not tired of that massive amount of fake hair that even ruins the little hair u have? Give your hair some tender loving care, naw! Take a break from them weaves. You won't regret it.
The women should wear scarves to church.
It's pointless reasoning with black women
whether by force, by fact or by logic,even by divine revelation, the black woman never gets it right. Instead, she delights wallowing in her foolishness and ignorance and she thinks it's cool.
- Naomi Campbell's pics was posted for all the world to see the long term effects of weaves; nothing changed.
-Rachel Edjeren came out as a living testimony to testify against the dangerous spiritual implications of having another person's hair on one's head; she was abused and called mental;
-Chimamanda Adichie said it loud that most african women can't stand their own hair and what was the outcome? Insult upon insult.
-Now this pastor exposes the silliness of some women concerning this weave wahala; they still don't get it.
EVEN IF ANGELS COME DOWN WITH FULL REVELATION AND THE WILL OF GOD CONCERNING THESE THINGS, no change.
Abeg, leave the black woman to delight in her stupidity.
Black women, you love it when people lie to you. That is why even your men lie to you non-stop.
If this pastor came out and said "it is well, prosperity and wealth is your portion," you would have applauded.
But simple truth, you refuse to listen.
If you feel this man is saying nonesense, consult the Lord and ask Him to give you full revelation concerning things like vanity, attaching someone's hair and setting priorities, no question is too difficult or too stupid for Him to answer. But be ready to handle the answer, cos truth hurts but it also sets free.
Me, i believe this pastor makes sense.
No, not at all. The pastor has spoken well. Why are you using another human hair to cover your glory? We are all beautifully and wonderfully made.
Linda, I cant believe your statement. Please at times it's better to keep quiet. God is not a beggar. Please
O my God, I actually thought this blog is meant for hearing good and "reasonable" news. O Jesus. Linda, such a comment shouldn't have come from you.
Been observing your blog for a while now. Seems you are getting confident enough to start doing tribal politics and church criticism.
I advise that you watch it girl, curses are very potent on these shores. They know your names and your day of birth....not much else is needed.
Linda, use your blog wisely and avoid lashing at things you are not sure of. Wigs are fake and doesn't beauty. Many women sleep with 10 men just to raise money for wigs or weavon (Brazillian hairs etc). Some girls have refused to do little jobs which can grow tomorrow to become big because they feel belittled when they wear wigs and do small business. The wigs actually cover their brains and allow them wallow in the beds of sugar daddies.
May God bless you Mr John Sule. You've said it all. I HOPE LINDA will read this and CORRECT HERSELF. There are certain things in this world that you don't use as JOKE. Thx
*Laffing so hard @ libers comment. Dere is no teacher like d Holy Spirit n he deals wt us individually(he teaches, he edifie, he exalts, he tels us d mind of God etc) . Sorry t say these Pastors can sometimes b sentimental in dier dealings wt d church, dey preach abt wot suits dem but am very sure dese particular pastor wud not reject tithes n offerings frm those who sell weaves...
Lmao false image? He might as well ban women from wearing makeup. I don't see how that affects their utmost reason for being in church.
Unless they personally told him they're struggling yet can afford weaves, I don't see how he knows it's not synthetic or borrowed/gifted hair on their heads!
Fuck him!! where does he get off telling people how to dress and what to wear. Wth! Because one wears a weave doesn't mean they love god any less than one who doesn't
What the fuck is the pastor's business.i don't think Linda's opinion was dumb.The pastor should focus on more important issues and stop complaining about how people spend their money.
Exactly

Linda stop talking balderdash sometimes....if u post any news, stop been the one to conclude or make ur followers tow ur line of comments, u re fond of doing that, sometimes u answer questions urself....having said that, the man of God was concerned about those who re poor and yet some sends up to 300 dollars to buy artificial hair, also, he was trying to encourage black women to be proud of themselves and contented instead of trying to copy the oyibos...so Linda try to understand it...if u like no post my comment.

ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT ABOUT SELF ESTEEM ALONE..YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
An Unbelievably Dumb Human Like Linda, With Her Unintelligent Self. What Else Do I Expect Her Opinion To Be? Of Course The Pastor Took A Shot At Her too.
P.C, if you're a Nigerian, fuck you. If you're a yoruba boy, then fuck you very much...

How does wearing a weave enhance one's beauty? The pastor is saying the truth. Why must we comply with the European definition of beauty? I don't have to wear a weave to be pretty but I know ladies that cannot show what their real hair looks like. Tell me that is not a self esteem issue. The man has a point. Some ladies will not have money to eat or pay bills but they have money for fake hair. LINDA post my comment abeg.
You really just fail to see the point Linda and that's understandable. You need to be careful about making such nasty comments about things you don't understand. The weaves are not the problem, the monies are not the problem, but too bad you can't decode what the issue is, it is for the spiritually discerning! Don't talk about tithes & offerings as if you really know what those are about, cos its obvious you don't.
Good talk Wale!
You women have self-esteem issues, you hate your natural hair and i will prove it to you.
Non-black women also use hair attachments from time to time. True. BUT they use hair attachments that have THE SAME texture as their original hair.
Why don't our women also wear weaves that have the same texture as their natural hair?
Instead, they choose to wear sleek, straight, sometimes blond weaves. Nothing to do with their original hair texture.
Is it not another way of making a statement which states you prefer that indian hair texture to the nappiness of your own hair?
You'd rather have any type of non-black hair on your head than yours.
Linda, check your ZELDA hair. Does it feel like your natural hair? I don't think so.And u looove how it feels, don't u? Doesn't feel like that your rubbery ,tough, stressful unmanageable hair, right?
And you ought to see how you girls touch and stroke those weaves. See the tender, loving care with which they brush that hair. When they comb their own hair, they begin to swear and complain. The annoying part is when they flip that weave so that it floats in the Wind "oh, this my hair o"
This is unconscious self-hate and inferiority complex of the highest order.
If that pastor was all about money, do u think the pastor would take such a strong stand and stand his ground in the midst of all the insults? with all these angry black women around?It's about having convictions, Linda. Not everyone is money-minded; some people have genuine concern for the souls of others.
Nothing can separate our women from their love for fake hair.
Some women are ready to lose their souls for these weavons, rather than decide to take care of their natural hair.
Lol lol
i thought God made no mistakes.
But why do u choose indian and even synthetic plastic fibers over the hair God gave u?
Before u go to sleep,please lock the door, or like the bible says "go to that quiet,secret place". Sit in front of your Mirror or just sit by yourself.
Ask yourself sincerely these questions:
-Why am i doing this to myself?
-Can't i be beautiful with my own hair if it is well groomed and well plaited/ cornrowed/styled?
-Do i really look that beautiful with those weaves on?
-Is it Worth it in the long run?
And most importantly:
-what is wrong with my hair?why do i behave as if God punished me by giving me the hair i have on my head?
-why am i ashamed of my hair?
-Is my hair really that bad or am i the one who's ignorant on how to care for it?
-Is it a curse or a sin to have natural african hair and rock it?
-Is non-black hair really better than african hair and who said so?
Be sincere with yourself. Answer those questions sincerely. It is and it will remain between you and your God. Sometimes we need to move away from all the hype and reflect on what has lasting value.
Good luck.
Linda, you should see this and reflect on why you love so much those weaves. I think this post spurred interesting viewpoints .
Gosh! U guys chill. Why are Nigerias so narrow minded in their thoughts? One of the most evil nation, u r all mean to each other and then act like u r d Pope. Abuse people for stating their thoughts, is that Godly? God takes u just as u r, not by ur looks. Everyone should go to church to feel safe and welcomed not victimized. The pastor can give his opinion but he has no right to mandate his opinion. Please people open ur mind! Emancipate ur self from mental slavery. It's absolutely ok for people to not share ur idea! It's a free world people. Be enlightened stop shaming me. I'm so embarrassed to be a nigerian reading all these comments. Kai!
Nope he wasn't, for him to barn it, he wasn't thinking of people that can afford it. Why is he prioritizing for them. If I'm bald and I starv to buy weave, so? If I buy because I can afford to, so? He should preach to encourage self esteem not banning stuff. What's my pastor doing in my closet or bank account?
Thank u!
Linda, there's nothing a pastor will say or do that you won't have problem with. He spends money, you go talk. he no spend, you still go talk. Better leave them alone.
I am shocked to hear that a priest would be bothered about women wearing weaves. There is no harm in wearing hair weaves to church until and unless your hair reduces the devotion you show to The Lord.
