I've attended numerous churches in Nigeria, and what I observed in most churches is that whenever the pastors are preaching or trying to emphasise a point, they usually shout, even sometimes the way they shout into the micrphone can make your heartheat go a second faster, and I keep wondering why because I've been priviledged to attend some churches outside Nigeria and the pastors in those churches rarely do that. Though some Nigerian pastors don't do that.
Can someone give a rationale behind this?

lemme think.

lol I use to wonder the same thing too o.
maybe they believe that if they shout, it will enter our ears very well or maybe they think it shows they are good pastors! lol

Thank GOD today is sunday just walk into any church and ask they wld be glad to help

When nigerians will refuse to sleep from monday to saturday because of hustle, then on sunday you will now take pillow to church.

I guess a pastor nearly gave you a heart attack today when he shouted FIRE!! Get it bro! It was because you were dozing!

Hahaha, very funny. I was in a church earlier this morning, and a lady beside just asked me, "bro, but why is the pastor shouting this way now"

Even me I ponder. I guess its the same reason why they use horn speakers and very loud box speakers, to drive thier message "home".

lol she is probably a learner. pastors shout like that all the time. people are used to it

are you still in church, check that guy beside you he is a JONAH, believe me the pastor will not leave your area nor stop the shouting. But no wake the guy o!, because all jonahs are BOXERS, i learnt my lesson the hard way.

Now, when you sleep beside me in church, i will give you my shoulder for a pillow straight

Actually she was a first timer, she stood up during the first timers call.

ohh.. but STILL!!! is this her first time of going to a Nigerian church?
I've never seen a Nigerian church where the pastor don't shout! lailai

Its all about the drama. All the lights, heavenly music, pastor's suit and ipad etc are all to embed the fantasy that they are trying portay into your mind.

And right after he has given a well thought out lecture how God can bless you so that you can receive healing, get that promotion, become richer, he'll go on to demand for "tithes". All the theatrics are based around what you can give the church. Nothing else
