Nigerian comedian and actor Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has questioned the role of the church after revealing that he was removed from participating in a church programme over concerns about public perception.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the comedian said he stepped away from church for a period, not because he had lost his faith in God, but because he was dealing with a difficult personal season following negative narratives about him online.
AY explained that he later joined another church, where he was warmly received by the pastor, his family and members of the church leadership.
According to him, he was initially invited to take part in one of the church’s upcoming programmes before the decision was reversed.
“At some point, I was invited to be part of an upcoming programme. Later, after some internal discussions, I was told I would no longer be participating because of concerns about public perception surrounding me.
