Pastors in Nigeria are revered and given a godlike status by many people and these same ‘fans’ find it strange to see them act like regular people in some cases.

Pastors in Nigeria are also quite controversial as people have started to question their actions. Just recently, it was reported by This Day that popular man of God, Bishop Oyedepo, created a scene at the US Embassy in Lagos.

According to reports online, the pastor visited the embassy on Thursday, January 30, 2020, and was denied a US visa. After he was denied, sources told This Day that the man of God created a serious scene and questioned the reason behind the denied renewal of his visa.
