Twitter personality, social commentator and self-acclaimed coach Solomon Buchi has slammed gospel ministers for incorporating trendy and secular musical praises into their ministrations.
He expressed his disappointment with their behaviour after seeing a viral video of gospel ministers joining the popular gwo gwo challenge. Solomon stated that such an act isn’t gospel music, not a ministration, but just emotionalism, as they employ every possible means to gyrate listeners.
He noted how some ministers also incorporated the 12345678 trend into praise and worship, which should be frowned upon. He noted how they are offering praise to God, who deserves the maximum reverence.
Urging them to stop soiling the sacrosanctity of the Christian faith, he stated that it is high time people call out gospel musicians for what they truly are: entertainers riding on the wave of the Christian faith.
“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”.
His statement has sparked mixed reactions as many defended gospel ministers.

One Zeenanii Gbadume wrote, “On this, I won’t agree with you. I see nothing wrong she just incorporated a dance step to the ministrations. It’s just like how we have gospel music now in Afrobeat”.
