A Celestial Church of Christ branch in Lagos State faced criticism after it extended invitations to Fuji singer Pasuma and street-hop artist Portable for its praise night event.
The flyer promoting the event was shared on the church’s Facebook page on Wednesday, prompting netizens to express disapproval in the comment section. Critics voiced their concerns about the church’s decision to invite secular artists to such an event.
A Facebook user, Bolanle Bamidele Adewuyi, wrote, “This is disheartening… Is this what you turn the Church of God to? It’s hilarious.”
Another commenter, Festus Olanrewaji Ojo wrote, “This is a shame! Shame and a very big shame.”
“This is totally nonsense,” Bukola commented.
Ayo Ife wrote, “The artists are not complete yet Una for kuku add Naira MarleySo that the soul winning can be complete!”
Edafe Oghenebrume said, “This is a sacrilege in the Celestial Church of Christ. It is disheartening, pathetic, shameful and disgraceful. I wonder about the spiritual orientation of your Shepherd-In-Charge and the congregation.”
Becky Wunmi Hassan Ayoade added, “There is nothing they will not turn celestial church to.”
However, some netizens noted that they would be present for the event.
Abike Ade said, “I will surely be there.”
Another Facebook user, Abike Garment, wrote, “I must be there make I come dance away my sorrow.”
