Renowned Nigerian pastor, Pastor Femi Lazarus, has ignited a fierce controversy with his recent statement criticizing the emphasis on elaborate church weddings and the financial burden it places on couples.

The trained public health professional, Principal of the International school of Ministry through which he has trained many ministers from different nations, and an apostle with cutting edge.

He is a multinational speaker, he is know for his impactful ministry and a very strong social media presence. He is also the founder of Femi Lazarus Ministries Ecumenical ‘FLAME’. Pastor Femi is also happily married to Miracle Lazarus, also known as Pastor Mimi. A certified life, marriage and relationship coach.

Recently, there has been a viral trending video of Pastor Femi, talking about Church weddings and its irrelevance to the society and to people.

He stated during his recent Sunday sermon that Church/ white weddings are British culture that just found its way into our Nigerian society through colonialism and Neo- colonialism.

He stated also that there was nothing special about couples tying the knot in the church and tagging it as ‘church or white wedding’.

Femi Lazarus noted that as a Pastor and leader, he is always willing to bring two lovers together in holy matrimony at their consensually agreed locations selected by the couple's that are set to wed and not Mandatorily in a church.

He stated that massive weddings do not usually guarantee a happy and successful marriage. He also shared the important things to note if one chooses to hold a small wedding and that he will be willing to attend and join the couples involved, in holy matrimony.

Pastor Femi noted in his sermon that he would gladly attend and join any couple in holy matrimony as long as both parents and guardians of the couples have agreed and are both present at the location of the joining.

“Don’t break the bank to get married”.

Lastly, Pastor Femi further advised that it is not intelligent for anyone to go over their heads just to hold a ceremonial wedding.
