A recent incident on social media featuring gospel artist Moses Bliss has sparked outrage among users, with some defending him after he was accused of collecting N7 million as a ministration charge.
The incident began when a Twitter user named Joshua accused Moses Bliss of demanding N7 million as payment for a ministration.
Joshua voiced his unhappiness with the expensive charge, advising organizers to consider inviting secular rapper Olamide instead, claiming that it would draw a larger crowd.
“I was told you need N7 million to invite Moses bliss for ministration; they should kuku invite Olamide instead, make he come sing “baba mo ro wo re ninu aye mi…” church go even over full” he wrote.
Not everyone agreed with Joshua’s criticism. Many users defended Moses Bliss, claiming that the musician has the right to charge whatever he feels fit for his services.
They emphasized that musicians, regardless of genre, have expenses to pay and should not be shamed for seeking fair compensation for their work.
