Popular Nollywood actor, Prince Eke has slammed Apostle Michael Orokpo who implied exercising is a devilish act intended to waste young people’s time.
During a sermon, Apostle Michael Orokpo of Summit Bible Church claimed that youth who are athletic idolize their own bodies.
In his words;
“The devil will come and deceive young people. You spend 5 hours in the gym every day 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!”
Reacting to the video, Prince Eke, disagreed and rebuked the preacher for presenting a fallacy as a moral principle.
He claimed that the pastor made fun of the health advantages of exercise by tagging it a devilish act.
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.”
