Key points:
- Charles Born calls out Lagos church seat rules on Stories. He says fronts stay reserved while late folks stroll in.
- He notes service starts 9am but fronts open at 10:30am. Early birds arrive 8:30am and still move to the back.
- He seeks a fair fix from church heads and ushers. He adds that faith stays personal for each soul.
Charles Born has stirred a fresh church row online. He made a bold note to “Lagos churches.” The post hit on seat use and class talk. Fans now weigh in under the viral post.
He set clear times to frame his case. Service starts 9am, he wrote, yet fronts stay shut. He said ushers keep three rows for late guests. His gripe is that keen folks still sit far back.
Post claims front rows favour late arrivals
Born says some stroll in by 10:30am and sit front. That move, he claims, makes light of time and grit. He states that early birds come by 8:30am to sit front. Yet they go back rows they hate to sit in.
He pleads, “Please make it make sense.” He adds he seeks a “real, sound” answer. The tone stays firm but calm through the post. He keeps the call on fair play and clear rules.
He calls out class bias in pew choice
The star line reads, “Classism is a human construct.” He says some think class won’t show up in church. But, he adds, “human” is the key word here. So class will show up in all shared space.
Born then moves from rows to core faith notes. “Thank God salvation is personal,” he writes. “A walk with God is very individual,” he adds. He ends with peace and a plea for clear change.
Fans urge fair, clear seat rules
Many users back his call for plain seat guides. They ask ushers to prize time and fair order. Some want first come, first served for prime rows. Others ask a mix of booked rows and free rows.

Leaders may still share their side in due time. For now, the talk stays hot on Lagos church seats. Born’s post has raised a hard but key church talk. Fair rules may cool this row in the end.
