Controversy Erupts Over Pastor Blessed’s Handshake with Banky W at Wedding

A Nigerian Facebook user, Assam Unwana, has sparked online debate after questioning a handshake exchanged between Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa and his best man, popular singer Banky W, during his wedding to gospel star Mercy Chinwo. In a social media post, Assam claimed the handshake resembled secret greetings associated with certain groups, expressing surprise that a pastor would display such a gesture openly on a significant occasion. He argued that, as a spiritual leader, Pastor Blessed should maintain transparency and avoid actions that might raise doubts among his followers. The post quickly gained attention, drawing mixed reactions. While some users agreed and speculated about hidden meanings, others dismissed the claim as unfounded, stating that handshakes vary across cultures and friendships. Supporters of Pastor Blessed and Banky W defended them, emphasizing that a simple handshake does not imply any secret affiliation. Related Posts Uriel was evicted, not Adekunle or Doyin.
