Nollywood actor Emeka Nwagbaraocha has come to the defense of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 elections. Obi recently stated in an interview on the Honest Bunch podcast that he would transform night vigils into night shifts.
He also remarked that both politics and churches are appealing but require reform, a comment that has sparked various reactions online. Emeka supported Obi’s perspective, arguing that attending church more than three times a week is unreasonable unless one is a pastor.
He highlighted that he has noticed advertisements for daily church services, which he believes is excessive. The actor, known for his role in Far From Home, emphasized that spending too much time in church does not contribute to productivity.

@ella_uche28: “It’s their choice though. There are Catholics that attend mass everyday and I admire them. But I can’t, except it is a special mass.”
@Emeneks: “Definitely their choice. I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense to me logically. Especially when these services are hours long. Catholic masses are 1hr max I think.”
@prolificcharisa: “It’s not a big deal especially if you are a worker in church, I’m a chorister in church, and I still have my life. If one can go to work every day, then it’s possible.”
@FolyDominion: “Some people will go like 6 times a week.”
@Emeneks: “If you don’t have a job and you’re working in church, that’s different.”
@sasu_mwen: “If they had real jobs, it’d be once a week.”
@iyke10417281: “Going to church always doesn’t determine how righteous you are. From my records, it is seen that most people who go to church always sin the most. The question is do you have faith? Do obey the ten commandments?”
