Rev. Fr. Oluoma has labelled worship in Nigerian churches as entertainment event rather than a spiritual gathering.
He recently criticized gospel musicians for charging exorbitant fees to perform in churches.
Fr. Oluoma revealed during his sermon that renowned Nigerian gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, could charge up to N10 million for a 10-minute worship session in a 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.
