A Nigerian priest, Rev. Oluoma, said that various churches have turned worship into entertainment. The pastor said this during a recent sermon at his church.
During this sermon, Fr. Oluoma revealed that evangelists charge millions of people just to lead ten minutes of worship in churches. Considering the example of the famous gospel singer in Nigeria, Mercy Chinwo, she revealed that she charges up to 10 million naira to perform in church.
“We have made religious worship expensive. If I have to bring Mercy Chinwo here to sing, how much will I have to pay? How much do you think she will charge? 10 million naira. Then I will have to collect the money from church members to pay her.
These are the tragedies we have brought into the church. An artist will come to the church to minister for 10 million or 5 million, and that’s too much. I’m not against paying her; you must pay her because you invited her.” He said.
