“Can Tiwa Savage Make Heaven?” – Rev Kesiena Esiri Sparks Controversy Over Singer’s Lifestyle
Nigerian pastor, Reverend Kesiena Esiri, has stirred heated conversations online after publicly casting doubt on the salvation of popular singer Tiwa Savage due to her fashion choices and perceived lifestyle.
In a recently shared sermon clip circulating online, Rev Esiri questioned the possibility of Tiwa Savage entering heaven, saying her “half-naked dressing” and “promotion of immorality” may disqualify her from eternal life.
“Many of us are asking questions like, ‘Will a loving God send someone like Tiwa Savage to hell?’
But look—someone who believes her life’s assignment is to dress half-naked and promote lust and immorality? God is not man that He’ll make excuses,” he said.
🔥 Social Media Reacts
As expected, the video has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions:
Supporters of Rev Esiri praised his boldness in calling out what they see as “moral decay.”
Critics, however, accused him of judgmental preaching and selectively targeting women in entertainment, while ignoring broader social issues.
Some fans defended Tiwa, arguing that faith is a personal journey, and one's outward appearance does not define their relationship with God.
💬 Opinion: Faith Should Convict, Not Condemn
While religious leaders have a right to speak on morality, publicly condemning individuals by name often does more harm than good—especially when the line between accountability and judgment becomes blurry.
Tiwa Savage, like many celebrities, lives in the spotlight, where every outfit and lyric is scrutinized. But true faith should inspire reflection, not shame-based spirituality.
If the goal is redemption and transformation, maybe the pulpit needs to offer more grace than gavel.
