There is a very stiff competition for members among churches
in Lagos and to beat the tough contest,churches have adopted the strategy of
inviting Nollywood stars and other celebrities to special church events to
serve as an attraction.
There have been cases of churches inviting popular Nollywood
actors and musicians to spice up the level of attendance at major church
events. These celebrities have their pictures included on the posters
and handbills advertising the church programmes and according to reports, the
strategy has proven to be effective.
Nigerians are always so eager to see their favourite
celebrities which is a high motivating factor. Actress, Patience Ozokwor was used
as guest artist in one of the new generation churches last month. This raised
rumours that she was set to become a pastor. The tactics is that love for
Ozokwor by her fans will drag them to Church.
Nollywood comedian, Bishop Umeh popularly known as Okon has
also been invited as guest artist in a 2-day revival ministration in a church
in Ebonyi State.
This week, Osita Iheme (pawpaw), whose posters are all over
Abakaliki is expected to show up at King Power Assembly Church where he has
been invited as a guest artiste for an upcoming revival programme.
