Nigerian pastor, Pastor Andrew Emajere of COGA Ministries has questioned former Nollywood actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh’s decision to establish a new prayer ministry in Abuja.
The pastor raised concerns about the growing number of people venturing into christian ministry, questioning the process through which individuals become church leaders.
Reacting to Tonto Dikeh’s new prayer ministry, Emajere asked, “What does Tonto Dikeh know in the spiritual world that convinced her to open a prayer ministry? She built a church worth of 300 million, how did we arrive here?”
He argued that there should be stricter screening for people who want to establish churches.
“If I become president, before you can open a church you must pass through screening. Christianity has now turned [into] something else.”

Emajere also compared the situation with Islam, questioning whether similar developments would be accepted within the religion.
“Have you seen a woman open mosque and call herself a female Imam or Alfa? People don’t take Christianity serious in this country,” he said.
The pastor further questioned Tonto Dikeh’s transition from entertainment to Christian ministry, asking.
“Which day did she repent in Pastor Jerry Eze’s church that she is already a General Overseer? How did we arrive here?”
He also expressed concern about the role of public figures in Christian ministry.
“A woman that has not handled her kitchen duties finish, you went ahead to put them in Christianity, why won’t confusion come in?” He asked.
