A Nigerian man identified as Opeyemi, has narrated how a Baptist church asked him to take off his earring while he was on a groomsman duty in the church.

According to Opeyemi, he left and waited for his friend who fully backed his decision at the wedding reception and there is a mixed reactions about his decision as many wondered why he could not just take them off for a few hours.

Opeyemi, narrating the encounter, he said that he was at a Baptist church in Lagos as one of the groomsmen for his friend’s wedding when he was asked to pull off his earrings, adding that he left the service immediately for the reception as he would never follow such dogma.

He, therefore, used the opportunity to lambaste Nigerians version of Christianity. When people told him that he ought to have honoured his friend and acted accordingly, he said his friend was in full support of him.

Why not remove it just for the sake of the person you came to honour?

You just disrespected your friend with this inane arrogant behavior!

Jackbaur88:
The Reverend was not wrong, but the manner of approach was inappropriate

Alfamann:
If he was white, will the reverend ask him to do that?

jaeyking:
Well you disrespected that friend who invited you to the wedding.
And to the friend that supported him is very stupid.

That's the least I can say.

I respect everyone's opinion about life but

Sometimes we show ego and pride for the wrong reasons.

I guess that Person wasn't really your friend, probably just an associate

GOFRONT:
Hmmm.....@King

Truely, Religion is the opium of the people of africa..

Btw, what's with male folks wearing earrings even on both ears and then proceed to dreadlock their hair Hanty Anita??

Some even patronize wools and Lush just to keep the dreadlocks. ...

Well, I hope these guys wont run away when God would want to create Menstruation period as a part of their body system since they all want to act like Woman these days..

People love being stupid for the wrong reasons. The place of work this idiot goes may make it mandatory to dress with a tie and a suit ,but the mumu never considered that dogmatic. But when it comes to respecting the doctrines of a church, he quickly refers to it as dogma. Nonsense

xpressionx:
Well people take Christianity anyhow because they know God is a merciful God.
Try this shit in a mosque in Kano.
Na for nairaland we for dey type your RIP

BassReeves:
Mark 7:15
'there is nothing outside a man [such as food, earrings etc] which by going into him,
or on him can defile him [morally or spiritually];
but the things which come out of [the heart of] a man are what defile and dishonor him.'

On the contrary, as I beg to differ and propose that true and pure religion, which has no flaws or fault and such that God approves us is not opium of anyone talkless people of Africa, its false religion, bigotry, hypocrisy and the Pharisaical spirit thats the opium of people, the sheepole most especially

Conflict of interest. His principle won the day

No, not all he never, because he said his friend was in full support of him

xeju:

Shows the confusion in Christianity yet under one body and spirit. European church have their own, African churches have own, even in Africa you thousands of doctrines yet inspired by one spirit. Is that not a spirit of confusion ni
