Popular Nigerian singer D’Banj has sparked controversy after a video of him prostrating before Pastor Jerry Eze during a surprise visit for the pastor’s 42nd birthday surfaced online.
Though meant as a show of respect, the gesture has provoked contentious debates on social media, drawing in a large number of supporters and detractors.
The 44-year-old singer was observed bending, clasping Pastor Eze’s hands, and reciting a blessing prayer during his visit.
Some called the singer’s act a heartfelt gesture of humility, while others said it was superfluous for such a well-known figure.
