UTI NWACHUKWU: What I hate most about African pastors

TV personality and Big Brother Africa Season 5 winner, Uti Nwachukwu, has revealed what he hates most about pastors, especially those resident in Africa.

The reality TV star in a post on his official Twitter handle says he detests the fact that most African pastors employ the tact of instilling fear in the hearts of their followers.

In his post, the TV personality said the mode of operation by African pastors is not what God commanded them to do unto their followers.

He wrote; “I HATE that some African pastors/ministers often use FEAR as a tool to convince people to worship GOD! Fear of Poverty Fear of Failure Fear of Attack & ultimately Fear of Hell! This is EXTREMELY WRONG! God has not Given us the spirit of Fear! WE HAVE TO BE WISE IN THESE TIMES O!”

Uti’s comments comes months after he denied rumours that he is gay and his fellow colleague Alex Ekubo is his partner.

Uti denied the claims in a post on Twitter when he wrote thus at the time; “I am going to say this just once. All gossip mongers about my sexuality are hereby warned! A scapegoat will be chosen very soon.”
