A heart-wrenching video of veteran gospel singer Sister Nnenna Goodness has gone viral, leaving Nigerians deeply moved and concerned. In the emotional clip, Sister Nnenna tearfully shared her struggles with financial hardship and the loss of rights to her songs, which once brought her fame.
The gospel singer’s plea for support has resonated with many, as she shared her account details, hoping to receive assistance from well-meaning Nigerians. However, some social media users have pointed out that her songs are still available on YouTube, but are seemingly controlled by another individual, adding to the complexity of her situation.
The timing of Sister Nnenna’s plea has also sparked controversy, coinciding with a statement by Pastor Femi Lazarus, who discouraged gospel artists from monetizing their talents. This stance has been met with criticism, especially after it was discovered that his ministry school charges $150 in fees, highlighting the perceived hypocrisy.
As the debate surrounding Pastor Lazarus’s statement continues, Sister Nnenna’s situation has shed light on the struggles faced by many gospel artists in Nigeria. Her plea has sparked a wave of support, with many calling for assistance and others questioning the systems in place that allow artists to lose control of their work.
The incident has also raised questions about the treatment of gospel artists in Nigeria and the need for greater support and protection for those who contribute to the country’s rich musical heritage.
