Nathaniel Bassey Leads Nigerians In Shutting Down Social Media With The #Jesus Challenge

Gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, has led Nigerians in shutting down Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms withn a new challenge to his fans, five years after the success of his #HallelujahChallenge.

The gospel artiste who is a happy married father of two, on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, shared a picture on social media with the inscription ‘JESUS’, and asked his 2.6 million followers on Instagram and 1.3 million on Twitter to make it their profile picture and share all over their social media accounts,

“Can we make this picture our profile picture and tweet at 12 noon? Let’s release the precious ointment over our land and nation. JESUS,” he tweeted.

And interestingly many Nigerians abided.

Kemi Filani found that at exactly 12 pm, fans and gospel lovers shut down Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, by sharing the photo with the inscription ‘Jesus’ across the platforms and using it as their profile picture.

The new trend has caused social media traffic as the #Jesus continues to trend.
