The Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, sees no reason for the proliferation of churches and at several times he has openly condemned the promoters of such churches.

He had spared no one in his condemnation, including the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and recently in an interview he granted New Telegraph he hit out at Pastor Adeboye again.
81-year-old Cardinal Okogie said, “For example, I heard that one of my colleagues, (Pastor Enoch) Adeboye, said that he would love to build churches everywhere so as to make it easy for worshipers to walk to them. But for me, that is a useless statement. How can you say you will build churches everywhere?
“What kind of churches are you talking about? “Look at traffic in Lagos for example, and those who are pastors are traders and a good number of them are business men. Such churches in most cases are more like business houses!”
