“They’re just entertainers riding on the wave of the Christian faith” –  Solomon Buchi reacts to video of Yinka Alaseyori infusing the Gwo Gwo Gwo melody into her ministrations inside a church

Writer Solomon Buchi has berated gospel artistes who infuse ‘trendy and secular musical phrases’’ into their ministrations. Buchi stated this while reacting to a video of gospel artiste and Oni Iduro crooner, Yinka Alaseyori, infusing ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo’ melody during her performance in a Lagos-based church last Friday.

Reacting to the video, Buchi wrote

”It’s sad to see ‘gospel ministers’ incorporate trendy and secular musical phrases into their ministrations. This isn’t gospel music, neither is it a ministration. It’s just emotionalism; employing every possible means to gyrate listeners. I’m sick of it!

 

Some ministers also incorporated the 12345678 trend into praise and worship, and it should be frowned upon. We are offering praise to God who deserves the maximum reverence. Stop soiling the sacrosanctity of our faith.

 

It’s high time we called some gospel musicians what they are— they are just entertainers riding on the wave of the Christian faith. They’re not ministers, and that’s fine.”
