Here is a story written by Mr Chris Kehinde Nwandu
of CKN Nigeria when he paid a visit to Pastor Chris
Okotie’s Household of God church in Ikeja Lagos this past Sunday.
Kenny gave a funny narrative story of his encounter
at Pastor Chris Okotie’s church in the article below:
Household of God on (Sunday 29th December
2013),i knew i was going to have a lifetime
experience. I have heard so much about my
namesake and his exploit that i was so eager to
visit his sanctuary today. For those of you who do
not know, Household of God is situated along
Oregun road Ikeja Lagos.
Chris Okotie owns all the land and buildings on that
street. His Church shares the same fence with Chris
Oyakhilome’s Christ Embassy Headquarters.
Arriving Church was easy.. I made my way into the
Church after the normal searching at the gate. The
first thing that will hit you, were the bouncers,
whose chest were as huge as bags of cement, even
the devil in his wisdom dare not make a move near
that Church at this time.
The inside speaks of the taste of the man, sparkling,
well decorated to taste.
Parked outside was not his new Rolls Royce but
another Mercedes Benz Limousine with customized
plate number.
As it is customary, my seat must be beside a fine
babe. Kai, they were not in short supply at
Household. Infact this Church has the highest
concentration of fine babes that i have ever seen in
any Church.
Chris Okotie must have selected them himself. The
organizers of Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria will envy
what i saw today.
chris Okotie can successfully organize ten good
pageants with what he has in that Church.He even
said ,they accuse him of marrying fair babes.
See shape,tall,short,dark,fair,half caste see catwalk,
see stepping, see mini skirts, see fine steps, see
clean smooth skins. See nails,i say come see cloth.
Brazillian hair,no be that type wey all those Lagos
babes dey do under Ikeja bridge.
It was like a competition.
Abeg if you no get designer clothes ,shoes, bags etc
no come Household, because, dem go think say you
be steward or waitress.
After taking my seat, beside my lovely damsel,i
quickly adjusted my lens and snap some pictures
while people were settling down.
Within minutes,a very huge guy that will make Hulk
Horgan look like a baby wrestler walked up to me
asking me to follow him.
My heart sank,wetin i do now..who i offend,who
send me make i come chris Okotie’s Church..Na
today i go see wetin my eyes dey look for.
I asked my latest catch to kindly look after my seat
while i followed the guy outside.
Okotie’s Church on the day of
On getting there,i was shocked by what the Chief
bouncer said..”CKN ,we know you. We ve monitored
you since you entered this Church. We don’t allow
any camera work or taking of pictures in this Church
or premises.. Please let me see the pictures you just
snapped ,because our CCTV camera caught you
taking pictures”..Who wan argue with this kin
person..i opened my folder and showed him the
singular picture on the folder..He asked me to delete
it..which i did..His next words,”As i said CKN ,we
like your job and what you are doing, just relax and
have a nice service with us at Household, God
bless,you can go back in but no more pictures
please”
I was relieved, from that moment, i just respected
chris Okotie and his security agents, these guys
were not being paid for nothing.
On resuming my seat,my concentration now focused
on the Service of songs which was being led by a
lady..it lasted for close to an hour before the man of
the moment finally came in, ushered in and
surrounded by six huge bouncers,the type that will
make Goodluck jonathan’s guys look like
kindergatens.
He made straight for the pulpit.Three of the
bouncers took their positions in front of the alter,
just like you saw in that picture that was in
circulation last week.
Okotie looks more like a pop star than a pastor.He
has not changed one bit from what i saw of him
about ten years ago..His jerry curled hair was
shinning.He wore a golden colour Jacket with black
patches over a black trouser.You will mistake him
for one of those Hollywood actors.
Immediately he picked the mic,he went into solo
songs..Okotie does not have a choir or back up
singers. He is the Choir,Choir master and chorister
all put in one.His is the only Church i have visited
that does not have a choir.
He was moving from one song to another, for over
one hour he didn’t stop.
I was forced to ask the babe beside me,if it was a
service or Song festival. She didnt even bother to
answer me, all she was saying was give it to
me,give it to me Pastor,i can feel it ,give it to me as
she sang along..Haaa,give it to you.give you what i
asked..
She took a long look at me and continued in her
frenzy,i say give it to me my pastor.Oti o.
This is another level,since i didnt want to be left
behind,as Okotie was singing i joined her in
saying,Give it to us,give it to us pastor,give it to us
oooooo.biko give us,give her,give me too
lalalalalala.
The lady suddenly stopped and pinched my
hand .Keep quiet,you are not singing like someone
that is in the spirit she told me.I asked her what she
meant,after all i just wanted pastor chris to give it
to us and you are asking me to keep quiet.
Please give it to you us,infact kill us Pastor i
continued.
By now she had kept quiet and was watching me.
The whole church was in a frenzy,estatic ,singing
and dancing.all dance steps were on
display,skelewu,konkon below,kukere,name it,even
apala dance join.ewooooo
Some were jumping up and down like people
possessed by spirit. Some were even running from
one end of the auditorium to another.
The beautiful ones that occupied all the front
rows,stood up and were dancing close to the
alter,as if to say Man Of God,we are still available o.
But chris Okotie must have been used to it because,
he no even look their side. He was singing in
languages that i never understood.
I even saw a popular actress among them
After over an hour of singing,Okotie now prayed for
two nations,Nigeria and Israel (why Isreal,i don’t
know) but i heard those were the two countries he
prays for weekly.
After the prayer which lasted for about five minutes,
he entered gear two,he kpet on
sining,singing,singing and sing.
Haba,which kain Church be this nah,no wonder all
these people are trooping here,they came to see
Okotie perform every week, definitely not his
preaching.
After he must have satisfied himself, he now settle
down to speak on the birth of Jesus Chris and the
three wisemen that came to visit Joseph and Mary.
It’s was easier to understand Patrick Obhiagbon and
Wole Soyinka than listening to chris..At a point i i
asked the babe beside me what chris just said,she
said she didnt know,i then asked how,how come
you were shouting Praise the Lord.
She told me that i just have to accept what he is
saying with open minds without questioning.na him i
tell am say ok,i hear.
The average age at the Church was 40 years.
chris Okotie has die-hard converts who from all
indications are ready to do anything for him. he is
to them,a role model of a sort.
The babes are well polished. Not the type you see at
most of these orthodox churches like Anglican and
Roman Catholic.
Okotie went on to say, Love without Money is not
complete.
According to him, shower a woman with money and
see how she ll cherish you for life.To him,love is not
enough.it must be backed with money and big time
gifts. According to him,that is why he buys the
latest expensive cars.
When i asked the babe beside me who don dey
already squeeze my hand whether she believe that,
she said ofcourse,i can’t go out with a guy that
cannot take care of my needs. Who is not ready to
change my car every other year
With that i kuku gradually remove my hand, before
the girl go collect my car key and i come take leg
waka go house.
She asked me if anything was wrong i told her no,
that i was just feeling dizzy and would need some
fresh air outside.
To add to my stress, chris Okotie now shared free
birthday cakes for people born in different months of
2014 (yap 2014).
He only shared it among ladies; no single guy was
allowed to pick a cake.
He also conducted quiz among us, he only allowed
women to answer the quiz and each of them were
given cakes and gifts.
Of the over 20 gifts chris Okotie gave away today,no
single man or guy was given any.
He said his gifts were ONLY for women.
At that point, i knew i have over stayed my
welcome. I told the babe that i wanted to go and
take some fresh air outside; from there i
disappeared and drove off.
It’s obvious that chris Okotie and his babes still
have a lot in common.
If you need fine babes,go to Household..If you need
superlative Music,chris Okotie will give you several
doses, but if you need serious preaching, i doubt if
Pastor chris Okotie will be my first Church,maybe
because of the big big grammar and effizy.
