Nollywood thespian and ex-Big Brother Naija’s “Shine Ya Eye” housemate, Pere Egbi popularly known as General Pere, has joined a growing list of celebrities saying they have been called to preach the words of God.
The BBNaija star disclosed this on social media saying that preaching is one very essential thing he intends to accomplish before his last breath.
In a recent tweet, Pere expressed his excitement about the possibility of giving a sermon in front of tens of millions of people.

According to the 35-year-old, standing on the pulpit one day and preaching the gospel is the last thing he wants to do before departing this world.
He wrote, “Forget this celebrity BS, I’m gonna stand on the pulpit someday and I’d preach the gospel to tens of millions.
“It’s my dream. The one last thing I have to do before leaving earth.”
Pere is not the only celebrity who had either expressed the zeal to preach the gospel or who claimed they were called by God to preach his words.
Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie recently said he had the calling to do the same, while another actress, Tonto Dikeh equally said she knows deep in her heart that acting was a pastime and she will ultimately end up a preacher.
