Controversial Onitsha-based pastor, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, commonly known as "The Lion Himself," is set to host a "comedy" show in London, UK, on April 13, sparking both anticipation and criticism. The event, scheduled at the Lighthouse Theatre, boasts an evening of laughter and entertainment, with ticket prices ranging from £33.19 per person to £1000 for a table of 10.
The concert poster reveals a lineup of guest performers including comedians Efe Warriboy and Laffin Gas, along with actors Chinyere Wilfred and Nosa Rex, hinting at a night filled with humor and music. Although the nature of the show was not explicitly stated by the cleric, the promotional material and Eventbrite's description suggest a comedic extravaganza.
In an Instagram announcement, Odumeje teased the unveiling of his new album at the event, titled "London 2024: Power or Nothing," promising an unforgettable experience for attendees. However, the pastor's involvement in such an event has stirred controversy, given his history of contentious actions and statements.
While some eagerly anticipate the entertainment spectacle, others criticize Odumeje's decision to host a show of this nature, questioning its alignment with his role as a religious leader. Nonetheless, the event is expected to draw attention and stir discussions as Odumeje continues to make headlines for his unconventional approach to ministry and public appearances.
