Nigerians knock the church

The incident sparked outrage among Nigerians who slammed the church for their overzealousness.

@iam_lonwolf said:

"Werey ngbe ile won ( madness is their blood) he should tell them he wants to donate 1m to the church. They will spread rug for him."

@tolatayo_ stated:

"Church should learn that guest ain't their members impose your doctrine on your members not visitors abeg. .."

Church tells man to remove earrings during friend's wedding

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a church had told a man to remove his earrings during a friend's wedding ceremony.

Narrating the encounter, the man said that he was at a Baptist church in Lagos as one of the groomsmen for his friend's wedding when he was asked to pull off his earrings.

Opeyemi said he left the service immediately for the reception as he would never follow such dogma.

He, therefore, used the opportunity to lambast Nigeria version of Christianity. When people told him that he ought to have honoured his friend and acted accordingly, he said his friend was in full support of him.
