Some social media users have defended gospel singer Moses Bliss after a Twitter user called him out for charging N7million for a ministration.
The Twitter user, identified as Joshua, alleged that the singer demanded N7 million as fee for ministration. The tweep, who seemed disappointed with the charges, stated that such churches or concern organisers should invite Olamide instead and would be amazed at how people would turn up.
“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”.
His statement didn’t sit well with many, who slammed him, noting how the gospel singer has bills to pay.
One Danny wrote, “There’s nothing wrong with his charge. He’s singing just like every other singer is doing

Similarly, last year, Nigerian Reverend Father Chinenye Oluoma, a Catholic priest in the Abuja Archdiocese, had reacted to alleged reports that Mercy Chinwo charges N10m for a guest appearance.
The Reverend Father bemoaned how religious worship has become costly, as he berated gospel musicians who demand huge payments to perform in a place of worship.
