Notable actor, Prince Eke clashes with Pastor Michael Orokpo who insinuated during a sermon that fitness is a devilish act aimed at wasting the time of youths.
Apostle Michael Orokpo of Summit Bible Church stated during a sermon that fitness makes young people idolize their own bodies.
In his words;
“The devil will come and deceive young people. You spend 5 hours in the gym everyday building your chest so that you can wear singlet and be walk about and show people your chest.
How much do they give you for big chest. At best, they hire you as a bouncer; you become a bodyguard. You will spend so much time on chest. That your beards, shave it!”
Prince Eke, however, argued otherwise while rebuking the preacher for stating a fallacy romanticized as a religious guide.
According to him, the pastor ridiculed the health benefits of fitness only to tag it as an act orchestrated by the devil.
Sharing the video, he stated;
“Where do they get all these clowns called pastors? If I talk now, dem go say I dey insult pastors. How can a man who called himself a pastor climb the pulpit and be talking rubbish.
So keeping fit is now devilish? And you are talking down a man who earns legitimately; who is better than you who depends on the tithe and offering of your member who you tell to depend on God. Nawa o! No be every lizard wey climb pulpit be pastor. We should be very careful.”
