Reporting by Legit.ng indicates Pastor Bolaji Idowu drew mixed reactions after sharing crossover service photos that included popular entertainers.
In his response, he argued the outrage misses the point of church as a place for restoration, not exclusivity.
The moment has reopened the conversation about how Nigerian churches engage youth culture and celebrity influence.
- Legit.ng (quoted response): ““Church is not a Museum but a Healing Centre.””
- X post recaps the appearance: ““Peller makes his first public appearance… as he spends the New Year…””
Echotitbits take: This is bigger than photos—it’s a battle over relevance and reach. Watch whether the pastor, the church, or the celebrities involved follow up with clearer context or additional posts that either cool or intensify the debate.
