Evangelist Mike Bamiloye leads the Mount Zion Film Productions, an organisation that has produced Christian movies from the 1980s.
Together with his wife Gloria, the couple has done more than two dozen films that preach the gospel in dramatic form.
As a matter of fact, several of their movies have been shown in churches and revival grounds. One can safely say that they pioneered the ‘gospel drama’ genre of Nigerian film-making.

That is why it is more than a little confusing, when this man who was played a herbalist with chalk paintings on him in the name of winning souls by drama- now says churches that bring comedians to come and entertain the congregation are ‘mocking God’.
In a lengthy Facebook post, he wrote: ‘For a long while I have questioned the inclusion of comedy in church events. What do I question? The fact that the comedians brought in are allowed to make jokes of scriptures, the Blood of Jesus, speaking in tongues, the throne of grace etc.’ And we sit there laughing…!’

While the man of God is entitled to his own opinion on such matters, but isn’t it a bit of hypocrisy to denounce ‘comedy’ as a sin when he himself is an actor that has made people laugh at his character?
Like Christians say, it is well.
