Recently many persons from the entertainment industry in Nigeria seems to choose to go religious with statement concerning answering the call of God or becoming clergies.
If first started with Yul Edochie who said in a viral video circulating on social media that he has chosen to answer the call as a minister of God.
"It's Time I Accept My Caling As A Minister Of God." He said.
Yul Edochie stirred reactions online after he announced and accepted his calling as a minister of God.
In a video, Yul shared how he became more convinced about his calling, adding that he would be using the remaining of his life to achieve it.
Someone said: "What will your ministry be called? It's really good to accept God's calling."
Some of his strongest critics are hiting on his rumored polygamous status, questioning if that's accepted by God.
Not long after the viral video of Yul's video, is yet another one from our very dear Tonto Dikeh who also said she has a pastoral calling.
"I was supposed to be a pastor," says Tonto Dikeh
She revealed this while speaking with media personality, Chude Jideonwo on the latest episode of 'WithChude' podcast.
The running mate to Tonte Ibraye, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers state Dikeh explained she has always desired to be a pastor.
The 37-year-old, who recently announced that she was officially 'kissing acting good bye', stated the profession alongside entertainment as a whole was basically opportunity-based.
On the pastoral calling, the mother of one noted she may yet embrace it 'depending on where God wants to take her'.
"I'm an opportunist with this thing called acting or entertainment. But for God, He has ordained that step already. For me, I was just swimming in a swimming pool," she said.
"I mean, I was a church girl going to be a pastor. I was supposed to be a pastor, I still might be. Depending on where God is taking me to."
