A man identified as Ossai Ovie Success has stirred debate online after he voiced his disappointment at Pastor Tobi Adegboyega for inviting music star David Adeleke Davido to his birthday party in Lagos.
Ossai, who described Pastor Tobi's action as an embarrassment to the gospel, advised him to ask God for forgiveness.
"However, I didn't feel the Holy Spirit's presence, as the party was inconsistent with pastoral values. As the founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega's actions appeared unrighteous, embarrassing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ," he wrote in part on Facebook.
He added that the pastor should have invited Gospel musicians instead of inviting the likes of Davido and KCee.

Yemi Solade justifies Twitter ban
Legit.ng recalls reporting that Solade shared his opinion on the ban placed on Twitter, now known as X.
According to him, Nigeria was the most populous black nation on earth, so the insult on Twitter should not be condoned.
