Mercy Chinwo Reacts to Tonto's Post

The post drew attention from several quarters, with gospel star Mercy Chinwo dropping a lovestruck emoji beneath the actress's update, signalling her support for the ministry.

The timing of Tonto's post is notable. It came just hours after a Nigerian pastor publicly questioned her credibility as a minister, arguing that she lacked the spiritual grounding to lead a church. The pastor also raised concerns about what he described as a growing trend of women disrespecting their husbands, linking it to the rise of female-led ministries.
