Femi Lazarus accused of charging on Instagram

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian filmmaker, Serah Donald Onyeachor, reacted to Pastor Femi Lazarus and Timi Dakolo’s online debate.

The Nollywood filmmaker posted a screenshot of Pastor Femi Lazarus charging a monthly Instagram subscription fee of N7900 for his IG followers to access more of his content.

According to her, everyone should be left alone for their reward to be in heaven while they charge their necessary fees here on earth. She told churches to build schools their congregation could afford and for pastors to stop moving around with security.
