Nigerians react as Bishop Abioye announces church's name

Legit.ng compiled some reactions from Nigerians on social media as Bishop Abioye unveiled the name of his new church.

@OsuohaTony

Why’s he opening a church, must he own a church to serve God? Why not join an existing ministry or a missionary?

@ololajohn

Dis man's story has taught me that you have to be loyal only to God, your spouse, and yourself. This is what he should have done since forty-three years ago yet he stood loyal 2 another man who discarded him like a piece of paper. I pray God grants him grace 4 good health and a sound mind.

@SehindeOwoeye

What has happened to “God did not call me to open a church”?

@NwosuUg

So names still remain for church. Smh . The office must pay.
