The Celestial Church of Christ, Land of Goshen Cathedral, located in the Kosofe area of Lagos, is facing criticism for including Fuji musician Wasiu Alabi Pasuma and controversial street singer Habib Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, in a praise night event.
In a flyer shared on the church’s Facebook page, the church announced, “JOIN US ON 15th OF DEC, 2023. As We Celebrate our 7th Year Anniversary on Our ANKARA/PRAISE NIGHT
“Performing: ALHAJI WASIU ALABI PASUMA a.k.a. Oganla, HABEEB OLALOMI a.k.a Portable, MAY-SHUA, EVANG. SUNDAY GP a.k.a De Governor”
Netizens have taken to the comment section to criticize the church for inviting ‘worldly musicians’ to its event
A Facebook user, Adeoluwa Adewole wrote, “This church needs to be called to order this is nonsense”
Another commenter, BU KO LA wrote, “This is totally nonsense”
Onaolapo Benjamin wrote, “I hope this is not real. if not, what is happening in the body of Christ? The devil has taking control of that church. God will restore it in Jesus’ mighty name amen”
Ashem Salem Timothy said, “The pastor wants to trend and get attention for his church and he’s getting it”
Bolanle Bamidele Adewuyi wrote “This is disheartening… Is this what you turn the Church of God to? It’s hilarious”
Eri Tunmise wrote, “I was just laughing when I saw this flier…why will u call hip-hop and Fuji artist for praise night? Are there no gospel singers again? Well, we are enticing with worldly stuff…This nonsense can only happen at white garment churches… Because other churches like Baptist, Redeem, and CAC can never do this…. Hmmm! The end of the world”
