Nigerian entertainer and social commentator, Charly Boy, has claimed that many pastors in the country are involved in ministry primarily as a business rather than a spiritual calling. He made the remarks during a recent interview, sparking reactions online.

Charly Boy argued that the focus of many church leaders is on wealth accumulation, material gain, and personal interests instead of genuine pastoral care or spiritual guidance. He suggested that the booming church industry in Nigeria has blurred the line between faith and commerce.

According to him, the commercialisation of religion has led some pastors to prioritise profits from donations, tithes, and church-owned businesses over the welfare of their congregants. He emphasised that this trend undermines the credibility of the ministry.

Charly Boy concluded by urging Nigerians to be cautious and discerning when choosing spiritual leaders. He encouraged believers to seek pastors who demonstrate genuine concern for the community and a sincere commitment to spiritual growth rather than purely financial gain.
