Father Ugwu, who first opposed the duo’s connection, blaming Moses Bliss for failing to call the bride to order, was called out by Deacon Famous, who told him to get off social media and focus on God’s work fervently.
Reverend Father, Kelvin Ugwu attacked Deacon Famous, the ‘bestie’ of actress, Ekene Umenwa, who was also the MC at her wedding reception, for attacking him over his opinion on Ekene and gospel musician, Moses Bliss’ encounter.
Father Ugwu, who first opposed the duo’s connection, blaming Moses Bliss for failing to call the bride to order, was called out by Deacon Famous, who told him to get off social media and focus on God’s work fervently.
Famous went on to say that Father Ugwu turned a blind eye to the wedding altar and chose to focus solely on the issue.
Responding via a lengthy Facebook post, the Padre took the time to defend his argument, taking a minor jab at Deacon Famous for his past views.
He wrote:

We can always agree to disagree, there is nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I don’t have any problem with Ekene.
She may be very emotional, some people are like that. It might even be one of the things her husband loves the most about her.
Some of us feel she could have had better emotional control. But it does not matter. She did not commit any crime by being expressive as she did.
I think all we owe them is prayers.
As a priest, my concern was more on the singer/minister.
What was in my mind was:
When you find yourself in a situation like that when a woman is literally in awe and excitement whether before or in the absence of her husband, what should a minister do?
When you find yourself in a situation where it appears your followers see you as a god and are ready to roll on the ground just for you, what should the minister do?
I brought out examples from scriptures that could help.
So, the issue was never about the altar of Mary she erected at the reception hall or the number of priests that came for her wedding.
And you leaving the issue at hand and asking me to leave Facebook to focus on the Lord’s work is just funny.
I have a lovely parish here online, in case you don’t know. The Purest family. . .
And by the way, it is the same you that made fame by making caricatures of the sacred sacrament of confession on social media.
If not that Christianity tolerates a lot, will you be able to try that with some other religions?
So, while priests are busy focusing on the Lord’s work in their parishes following your ‘almighty’ command to us to leave Facebook, you are busy wearing cassocks and stole as though you are a priest and scattering all our works on social media. . . then, the same you will still turn around and quote for us how the harvest is much and the labourers are few.
Even you, be sincere to yourself, what you said, does it make sense to you?
