A post about a pastor opening his own church after being suspended by his previous one has sparked controversy. One comment likened the move to an apprentice in Onitsha market, stating, “As him oga no gree settle am, he comot go open him own shop na normal thing for Onitsha market,” equating the church to a business model.

This comment trivializes the spiritual significance of a church, reducing it to mere commerce. While disagreements within religious institutions can arise, equating the church to a marketplace undermines its purpose and the faith of its followers.
