‘Not True?’ – Femi Lazarus Replies Timi Dakolo on $150 Charge for School of Ministry

Singer Timi Dakolo criticized popular cleric Femi Lazarus for asking $150 for his school of ministry. Lazarus has responded.
Conflict reportedly arose between the two due to their divergent opinions on whether gospel singers ought to charge for their performances at church functions and festivals.
In a widely shared video, Pastor Lazarus criticized gospel artists who seek payment for their services, saying that they should put their faith in God’s supply above their own financial gain.

He maintained that rather than merely performing, gospel artists are ministers of the gospel.
Dakolo responded by strongly disagreeing with Pastor Lazarus’ viewpoint and charging that pastors force gospel singers to perform for free when they have other financial commitments.

Speaking again, Dakolo accused Lazarus in a recent post of charging $150 for pupils to attend his ministry school, which offers Christian instruction.

In apparent contradiction to his position on the fees for gospel singers, Dakolo brought up the fact that Lazarus charges for his school of ministry.

When asked about the cost by a netizen named Deeemaths, he responded, “But you charge $150 for your school of ministry? Could you just clarify it, sir? I mistook that for ministry.

Lazarus said simply, “Yes, it is a school.”

His answer suggests that the instruction and training his ministry school offers are worthy of payment.
