Nigerian pastor, Femi Lazarus, has finally conceded in his argument with singer, Timi Dakolo, to the surprise of some netizens.

Recall that the Light Nation Church’s founder sparked an online debate after he condemned gospel singers for charging the church to perform. Timi Dakolo fired back by saying singers were free to charge a fee for their performance because it is how they make ends meet. He also went as far as exposing that Pastor Femi Lazarus charges $150 for his ministry school.

This disclosure sparked a heated debate with more people lending their voices to the matter on social media.

Pastor Femi Lazarus ends beef with Timi Dakolo

Shortly after Timi Dakolo shared details about Femi Lazarus’ ministry school, the pastor took to social media to finally make amends.

The preacher called Timi Dakolo a legend who deserves his flowers while agreeing that the RnB singer was right with his concerns.

Not stopping there, Femi Lazarus added that better structures would be built with hosts and guests doing better because the pain is being felt from the pulpit to the pew.

The Nigerian pastor accompanied his goodwill post with a photo of himself with Timi Dakolo. His caption reads:

“My brother @timidakolo is a music legend. Give him his flowers. What a man! He genuinely carries the burdens of musicians. His concerns are real. I love you. Better structures will be built. Pain is real. From pulpit to the pew, the pain is real, but we will be fine. This generation will not have a carryover of pain. Hosts will do better, Guests will do better. We will have a better nation together.”
