A local chapter of the Celestial Church of Christ in Lagos State has come under fire for inviting street-hop musician Portable and Fuji singer Pasuma to perform at their next praise night.
The event flyer, which was posted on the church’s official Facebook page on Wednesday, led to a barrage of critical remarks from online users who questioned the wisdom of bringing secular performers to a house of worship.
Bolanle Bamidele Adewuyi expressed dismay by saying, “This is disheartening.” Do you want the Church of God to become like this? It is so funny.

Festus Olanrewaji Ojo added, “This is a shame! Shame and a very big shame.”
Disapprovingly, BU KO LA stated, “This is totally nonsense.”
Ayo Ife humorously suggested, “The artists are not complete yet; you should have added Naira Marley so that the soul-winning can be complete!”
Expressing strong disapproval, Edafe Oghenebrume remarked, “This is a sacrilege in the Celestial Church of Christ. It is disheartening, pathetic, shameful, and disgraceful. I wonder about the spiritual orientation of your Shepherd-In-Charge and the congregation.”
Becky Wunmi Hassan Ayoade added, “There is nothing they will not turn Celestial Church to.”
