How church worker was banned
@tech_gunner said more punishments might be meted out to him and wondered why a voluntary contribution suddenly attracted such a penalty from the church.
He vowed that he would still not contribute for the birthday. He tweeted:
“Because I didn’t send money for papa’s birthday I am banned from officiating this Sunday & more punishment might be meted, after you have said it’s a voluntary contribution.
“You aren’t even minding the financial capacity of some, others have sent but me I will not send…….”

Church sacks pastor for zero turnout
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a church had sacked a pastor for recording zero turnout in a village he ministered in.
In a Facebook post, Kelvin revealed he spoke on the phone with the wife of the affected pastor. Kelvin stated that the pastor was posted to a village for ministration and had zero turnout.
He lamented that church was now purely a business. He added that the church is very popular in Nigeria but failed to reveal the name.
