Twitter influencer Daniel Regha sparked controversy with a tweet criticizing renowned gospel artist Mercy Chinwo for allegedly charging a staggering 10 million Naira to perform in churches.
Everything started when Reverend Father Oluoma mentioned during a sermon that gospel musicians receive exorbitant fees for delivering a mere 10-minute worship service.
Regha expressed his strong disapproval, stating that it was morally inappropriate for a Christian artist to demand such a high payment.

Reactions: Daniel rest abeg
Let’s have a look at some of the comments:
@thesilva: That’s her work Daniel, she’ll definitely charge, but charging that much?? that’s quite too much tbh.
@Elineedwards: It’s funny how we treat gospel and it’s music in Nigeria. Oyibo people dey do better pass us for this side. Gospel is a very difficult kind of music to do. In fact, u don’t find gospel artists doing mime in a concert. They perform live! Yet secular artists get fortune 4 miming
@9jastreetlawyer:If she is preaching the goapel through songs then its not “her work” and shouldn’t charge a dime but must receive the reward of those who labour in the vineyard from those who invite her.
@Timmy:Abi werey leleyi niii 😂🤣
But churches can take millions from people?
@formax:Mercy Chinwo is NOT a charity organisation. If you need her service pay for it. She’s not forcing anyone to pay. Cut your coat according to the material. We enslaved ourselves inadvertently & proud of the religion of the people who enslaved our forefathers
