Timi Dakolo Calls Out Pastor Femi Lazarus Over Alleged $150 Ministry School Fee

Renowned Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has publicly criticized Pastor Femi Lazarus for allegedly charging $150 for enrollment in his ministry school, despite previously condemning gospel musicians for monetizing their services.

Dakolo took to social media to call out what he described as hypocrisy, questioning why a pastor who had criticized gospel singers for charging fees for their music and ministry engagements would now require payment for ministerial training.

The controversy stems from Pastor Femi Lazarus’s past statements in which he reportedly faulted gospel artists for commercializing their talents and charging fees for ministerial work. However, the revelation that he himself charges a significant fee for his ministry school has sparked a heated debate online.

Many social media users have weighed in on the matter, with some defending the pastor’s right to set fees for structured training, while others argue that it contradicts his previous stance.

As the debate rages on, neither Timi Dakolo nor Pastor Femi Lazarus has made any further clarifications regarding the allegations.
