Nigerian activist and African Action Congress 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has used a recent statement by United States President, Donald Trump to argue that true “heaven” and “hell” are conditions created by political policies in the present, not rewards or punishments in the afterlife.

In a post on X, Sowore wrote that Trump “knows that the only heaven worth pursuing is right here on earth — a safe environment, a living wage, Medicare for All, free and quality education, not the lifelong peonage disguised as student loans, and a life of dignity for everyone.”

He continued, “And he knows that the real hell is the suffering inflicted on hapless immigrants, Palestinians, and vulnerable people across the world through policies of persecution, displacement, war, and deprivation. They preach about heaven while making life hell for millions here on earth.”

Sowore concluded that “Heaven and hell are conditions we create here on earth. Justice, dignity, and freedom cannot wait for the afterlife! Afterlife is life well spent now!”
