He highlights a trend where pastors prioritize delivering entertaining sermons and collecting offertories, rather than focusing on healing and salvation.

Reverend Anaba draws attention to the contrast with other establishments like kiosks, mosques, lorry stations, and chop bars, each serving a specific purpose without compromising their essence.

He emphasizes that the purpose of the church should not be entertainment but a focus on the transformative power of spiritual experiences. Referencing biblical verses, he suggests that excessive emphasis on entertainment may lead churches to lose their spiritual impact.
