Man threatens to quit church over top member’s support for gay rights

A Nigerian man identified as Chris Nwogu who is a member of the Daystar Christian Center in Lagos, has threatened to leave the church following a church leader, Chude Jideonwo’s support for gay rights.

Recently, Chude had an interview with LITV, where he stated that he is in support of gay rights and would repeal the anti-gay law if he is elected president.

Man threatens to leave church over leader’s support for gay rights

Chude is a respected member of the Daystar Christian Center, Lagos whose senior pastor is Sam Adeyemi.

”I am very disappointed in the fact that Donald Duke went on the couch with Falz and spoke courageously about gay rights and then went on to change his mouth after. I am fully in support of gay rights. If I am president, I would overrule the antigay law” he said




Reacting to Chude’s comment, Chris said Chude who is supposed to be a Christian should not be supporting gays.

He said any day Chude is allowed to come on the pulpit in the church again to teach, he would leave with his family.

”And @chudeity you supposed to be a Christian and comes to @daystarng and you are gay or supporting gay right, any other day @daystarng allows you come up to the pulpit to teach on anything that day I and family are done with daystar church, chude I’m highly dissapointed, I hope @thesamadeyemi hears and take note. #Nigeria #nigerians #nigerianchurch#daystarng” he wrote
