Man berates Pastor Jerry Eze's action
Ossai Ovie Success, in reaction to the video, advised pastors to stop building or commissioning hotels.
According to him, the hotel business was not for pastors or Christians as it contradicted religious values. He claimed that most people who lodged there were adulterous.
"I think Pastors should stop building hotels or opening hotels built by people because 95% of hotel users are there for forniation and adultery and it contradict Christian values. So Pastors should rethink hotel investments, considering the high percentage of users engaging in immoral activities. When a pastor goes to commission a hotel , he prays for more customers to patronize the hotel so the hotel can grow bigger and bigger. The customers coming to the hotel, 95% of them are for forniation and adultery," he wrote.
Hotel is not a bad business - Spiricoco
The Christian influencer refuted the claim that Christians owning hotels or commissioning them is wrong.
"A hotel is not bad. Business people use hotels. But things like alcohol may be discouraged based on discretion," he said.
