Mercy Chinwo: Oluoma slams gospel singers

Fearless and outspoken Catholic priest in the Abuja Archdiocese, Rev. Fr. Chinenye Oluoma has slammed Gospel artistes who charge for performance in churches.

Using popular gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo in his example, he claims the singer now charges N10 million.

The priest disclosed it when he was talking about how church has been almost made into a business.

Speaking in a now trending video on social media, Father Oluoma berated gospel musicians who demand huge payments to perform in a place of worship.

Mocking and berating them, he said; “We have made religious worship expensive. If I have to bring Mercy Chinwo to come here and sing, how much will I pay her? How much does a gospel artiste of Mercy Chinwo’s status charge to come to an event or in a Church, it has reached N10m now.

“This is the tragedy that we have turned Christianity into, that an artiste will come to a church and lead in ten minutes praise and worship for N10m, N5m. So if that particular artiste doesn’t sing Jesus you love me too much, that means God didn’t love you too much?

“And some people were asking should they be paid? Why didn’t you pay them? If you must bring them you must pay them because what you are bringing them for is entertainment. We have turned worship into entertainment.

“We have copied the world. In those days, those who composed songs we are still using for worshipping nobody even knows them,” he said.
