Popular social media personality, Solomon Buchi has criticised churches organizing thanksgiving services over Arsenal F.C.’s recent trophy victory, saying the trend is beginning to “look like an idol” and questioning why football celebrations are being brought into church services.
Buchi made the remarks while reacting to a viral video that showed church members celebrating Arsenal’s triumph.
In a now-viral video, Buchi expressed concern about what he described as the blurring of lines between faith and football fandom.
“I might probably get dragged for this. I’m very happy that Arsenal won the trophy. But I’m an Arsenal fan, my wife is an Arsenal fan, most of my friends Arsenal fans, most of the people I know are Arsenal fans, most of the people I respect are Arsenal fans”.
