Moses Bliss: Father Ugwu and Ekene Umenwa’s Bestie, Deacon Famous, Drag Each Other Online
- Reverend Father Kelvin Ugwu and Ekene Umenwa's 'bestie' and wedding reception MC Deacon Famous had an altercation online
- Deacon Famous told the clergy to leave social media and focus on God's work fervently after he pointed out the wrong the bride did by kneeling for Moses Bliss
- Reacting to the callout, the reverend took the time to explain his stance and slammed Famous for faulting his views
Reverend Father Kelvin Ugwu has attacked Deacon Famous, actress Ekene Umenwa's 'bestie' and wedding reception MC, after sharing his opinion on her and gospel singer Moses Bliss' controversial embrace.
Deacon Famous had asked Father Ugwu to stay off social media and focus on God after he criticised Moses Bliss for failing to call the bride to order.
Famous said Father Ugwu ignored the wedding altar and focused on the issue.
The priest wrote a lengthy Facebook response, indirectly criticising Deacon Famous for his past views.
"Deacon_Famous, We can always agree to disagree; there is nothing wrong with that. Personally, I don't have any problem with Ekene. She may be very emotional; some people are like that. It might even be one of the things her husband loves the most about her.
"Some of us feel she could have had better emotional control. But it does not matter. She did not commit any crime by being expressive as she did. I think all we owe them is prayers. As a priest, my concern was more on the singer/minister. What was in my mind was: When you find yourself in a situation like that when a woman is literally in awe and excitement whether before or in the absence of her husband, what should a minister do?"

The cleric reminded the MC how he became famous, saying he used to make caricatures of the sacred sacrament of confession on social media. He asked Famous if he could try that with some other religions.
"So, while priests are busy focusing on the Lord's work in their parishes following your 'almighty' command to us to leave Facebook, you are busy wearing cassocks and stole as though you are a priest and scattering all our works on social media. . . then, the same you will still turn around and quote for us how the harvest is much and the labourers are few.
"Even you, be sincere to yourself, what you said, does it make sense to you?"
