Baptist church pastor sacks groomsman for wearing earrings to wedding

According to the man identified as @ChiefOpeyemi on Twitter, he chose to walk out of the main wedding and wait for the reception where the church’s strict doctrines would not necessarily be applied, rather than remove the earrings.

“At a Baptist church in Isolo, groomsman duties and the reverend just told me I’m not allowed to wear earrings in church.

I calmly left the church, guess it’ll be the reception for me.

Shout out to Nigerian Christianity, and hope they have fine dining restaurants in hell,” @ChiefOpeyemi wrote.
