Nollywood Stars Flay Pastors’ Lifestyles

Published

on

Popular Lagos State social life and showbiz personality, Pretty Mike, has taken to his instagram page to advise young Nigerians to stop worshiping their pastors as pastors are human beings that have no power, adding that if they have the power they claim to have, Nigerians would not be the way they are.
He said “stupidity is when you don’t have a bicycle and you give your last Kobo to your pastor to buy a jet. Mumu is when you cannot pay your children’s school fees, yet have money to contribute to your church to build expensive school which your children will never attend. Ignorance is when you believe it when your pastor tells you not to live a worldly life, and yet he enjoys all the best things in the world, the fine houses cars, jets, babes etc, while you are waiting till you get to heaven to enjoy your own”.
“Ewu” is when you refuse to take your very sick child to the hospital because your pastor said you should not do so, yet that same pastor secretly runs to USA for medical attention anytime he has an headache. While kolo mental is when you see a poor beggar on the road and you refuse to give him N50 out of the 5000 naira in your pocket because it is your tithe money”.
You are a Zombie when you trek, dance and gallivant for 30 kilometres under the hot sun sweating and smelling like shit during your revival programme, while your pastor is inside a full option factory fitted air conditioned state-of-the-art suv with his delectable wife slow driving along the road. “Stop worshipping your pastors!!!, they are human beings like you, they don’t have any power, if they had the power they claim they have, Nigeria will not be the way it is”.
“If you don’t like what I have said, argue with your keyboard and don’t insult me because I know most of you are being brain washed by your. Wise up Nigerians. Even the white men that brought Christianity to Africa don’t do it that way.”
In a related development, Nollywood Actress turned evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi recently took to her instagram to spit venom at church pastors and general overseers whom she alleged treat their younger pastors unfairly. She wrote “this thing of sending an assistant pastor to start a new branch without any financial assistance, asking them to go and prove their ministry looks like wickedness in religious robe”.
The Nollywood screen diva went further to lambast Daddy General Overseers (GOS) who sit back and lick the sweat off the back of younger pastors, those she said are sent out to grow their ministry without any financial support, this is wickedness, she said..
“It is your ministry, your responsibility, your vision and you should also be part of the provision, let’s be real and truthful to our selves, let our conscience judge this thing”, she ranted.
Recall that Eucharia Anunobi rose to fame for her explicit bathroom scene with Zack Orji in the mid’ ‘90s in one of Nollywood’s hit movies, ‘Glamour Girls’ which remains one of the most controversial scenes in the Nigerian movie industry till date.
Recently she took to instagram to write on deception. The actress who wondered why a single lady with no means of income will be living in a palatial apartment, also raised some important points in her post. Here is what she wrote.
“I can’t thank God enough for journey mercy to and from America, but one thing has been bugging my mind and that is deception. The manual of living (the Bible) says in Galatians 6:3, for if a man thinks himself to be something where he is nothing, he deceivers himself”, this scripture just blew my mind .
“Why would a man be married with children and go back getting into illicit relationships with single ladies and promise them marriage? Why would a single lady who doesn’t have a known means of income be living in a palatial apartment, why buy a vehicle you can’t maintain? Why do you take a mortgage on a house above what you can afford? Why do you have children you can’t take care of…? “ all these are nothing but deception.

Jewel Environmental Initiative (JEI), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has commended President Bola Tinubu for inaugurating the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, urging Nigerians and stakeholders to support the initiative nationwide.
Mr Ismail Bima, Chief Executive Officer of JEI, said in a statement in Gombe yesterday that the tour would significantly strengthen public understanding of climate change and encourage collective environmental responsibility.
Bima described the initiative as a clear affirmation of the Federal Government’s commitment to pursuing practical solution driven strategies that addressed climate challenges and safeguarded livelihoods, ecosystems, and national development efforts.
He noted that the programme would achieve its objectives if government institutions, private organisations, civil society groups, and citizens actively played their respective roles in promoting awareness, resilience, and sustainable practices.
According to him, the inauguration marks an important step toward building a nationwide movement capable of delivering measurable progress in Nigeria’s broader efforts to secure a climate resilient future for generations.
He said JEI fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, noting that the initiative could inspire innovation, strengthen environmental education, and promote sustainable development across communities nationwide.
Bima also commended the Minister of Environment and urged federal, state, and local stakeholders to support the initiative, stressing that climate change impacts affected all citizens regardless of region or status.
He emphasised that growing climate pressures on agriculture, livelihoods, and ecosystems made the awareness tour timely, adding that stronger information sharing and partnerships were necessary to confront environmental risks nationwide.
He urged authorities to implement the initiative with sustained commitment, extend activities to grassroots communities, and collaborate with state and local governments to ensure wider participation and maximum impact nationwide effectively.
The Tide source reports that President Tinubu inaugurated the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour in Abuja on Tuesday to promote climate resilience and sustainable development nationwide initiatives.

“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.

Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.

The Tide Entertainment reports that  Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.

The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
