Prince Eke criticized a clergyman who described fitness as demonic.
Prince Eke, a popular Nollywood actor, has attacked Apostle Michael Orokpo for implying that exercising is a diabolical deed designed to squander young people’s time.
During a lecture, Summit Bible Church’s Apostle Michael Orokpo declared that sporty kids idolize their own bodies.
“The devil will come and deceive young people. You spend 5 hours in the gym every day building your chest so that you can wear singlet and be walk about and show people your chest.
How much do they give you for big chest. At best, they hire you as a bouncer; you become a bodyguard. You will spend so much time on chest. That your beards, shave it!” the clergyman said.
In response to the video, Prince Eke expressed his displeasure and chastised the preacher for presenting a fallacy as a moral precept.
He stated that the preacher mocked the health benefits of exercise by labeling it a demonic deed.
Prince Eke said; “Where do they get all these clowns called pastors? If I talk now, dem go say I dey insult pastors. How can a man who called himself a pastor climb the pulpit and be talking rubbish.
So keeping fit is now devilish? And you are talking down a man who earns legitimately; who is better than you who depends on the tithe and offering of your member who you tell to depend on God. Nawa o! No be every lizard wey climb pulpit be pastor. We should be very careful.”
