A Catholic Priest from the Abuja Archdiocese, Rev. Fr. Chinenye Oluoma has voiced his concerns about gospel musicians who demand exorbitant fees for performing at churches.
In a recent sermon, Fr. Oluoma expressed his dismay at the rising costs associated with religious worship, lamenting that “these are the tragedies we have brought into the church.”
Specifically referring to popular gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo as an example, the cleric said she might charge him N10 million if he invites her to perform in the church.
“We have made religious worship expensive. If I have to bring Mercy Chinwo to come here and sing, how much will I pay? She might charge 10 million naira. Then I will have to collect the money from church members to pay her.
“These are the tragedies we have brought into the church; an artiste will come to the church to minister for 10 million or 5 million, that’s much. I’m not against paying her, you must pay her because you invited her,” he said.
