Controversy trails Flavour’s performance at RCCG pastor Siju’s party
Siju, a pastor and wife of the Idowu Iluyomade, a senior pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Lagos, has set tongues wagging on social media for inviting secular singer Flavour to perform at her birthday party.
Siju, who is also a lawyer, speaker and activist, turned 60 last week.
She then celebrated the occasion at the Eko Hotels in Victoria Island in a grand style on Sunday.
The colourful and glamorous birthday party was graced by some notable figures, monarchs and the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry.
The attendees included Tony Elumelu, Toke Makinwa, Ali Baba, and Kenny Saint Brown, as well as Rasaq and Shade Okoya, among others.
In viral videos, Flavour, who was one of the performing artistes, was seen entertaining the guests with hit songs from his music catalogue.
In one of the videos, the singer also serenaded the celebrant on stage while she danced along to his performance.
The footage, however, attracted heated controversy on social media. Several Nigerians on X questioned why a secular artiste like Flavour should be performing at the birthday party of a pastor.
“When you see 60th birthday celebration of PASTOR Siju Illuyomade, then you will know why some people are STILL running away from church!” a user wrote.
Another user added in a lengthy post: “RCCG Pastor Siju Iluyomade, the wife of the senior Pastor of one of the biggest RCCG Parish held her 60th birthday party this weekend and Flavour was the lead artist but no gospel musician”.
Here is what some users had to say:
I just saw a video of pastor Siju illuyomade and Flavour performing at her party. Should eyebrows be raised?
