Tim Godfrey Criticizes Churches for Poor Treatment of Gospel Artists, Reveals Being Paid in Yams and Live Chicken
Gospel singer Tim Godfrey has raised concerns over the way some churches in Nigeria treat gospel artists, revealing that he has been paid with yams and even a live chicken for his performances. In a video shared on Thursday by AsakuGRN on X, the award-winning singer expressed frustration over the lack of fair compensation for gospel performers, saying it has made performing in Nigeria increasingly challenging. “I don’t like coming. I come to Nigeria, but it has become difficult because of how artists are being treated,” Godfrey said in the viral clip. He described receiving food items instead of monetary payment and questioned how artists are expected to meet basic expenses. “I have collected tubers of yams as honorarium. I have even received a living, breathing chicken. How am I supposed to pay school fees, rent, or buy property with that? It’s completely unfair,” he added. The singer’s remarks have sparked widespread debate on social media about the ethics of church payments for gospel performances and the need to properly support artists in ministry settings.

Mr Jollof Warns Nigerian Musicians Against Charging Unrealistic Performance Fees
Comedian and media personality Mr Jollof has raised alarm over what he described as the “unrealistic” fees being charged by Nigerian musicians ahead of the festive season. In a social media post, he appealed to artistes to show consideration for fans and event organisers who are already struggling with rising costs, warning that excessive billing could dampen the excitement December is known for. “Dear Nigerian Music Artists, the current rate of billing is becoming unrealistic. If it continues, this festive season might not deliver the energy we all expect. Fans, promoters, and communities are struggling with costs — there will be little justification to pay such high amounts. Please, let’s be reasonable so December can remain a season of joy, not disappointment,” he wrote. His statement has since stirred reactions, with some Nigerians agreeing that skyrocketing fees could limit entertainment events this December, while others insisted artistes deserve fair compensation for their craft.
Sultana Reveals She Was Upset by Faith’s BBNaija Disqualification
BBNaija Season 10 housemate Sultana has opened up about her reaction to the disqualification of fellow contestant Faith, describing the incident as upsetting. In a post-eviction interview on Arise TV, Sultana said she understood why Biggie took action but admitted it was hard to watch Faith leave the show in such circumstances. “I didn’t feel good about Faith’s disqualification,” she said. “I felt a certain way, but at the end of the day, things happened. He went too far and faced the consequences, though I’m not happy about it.” Faith was disqualified following a physical altercation with Sultana, which led Biggie to call an emergency meeting in the main lounge and ask him to leave the house immediately. The clash reportedly began when Sultana accused Faith of being controlling and trying to dominate the group during a task that did not require his medical expertise. The situation escalated when Faith dragged a basket containing group materials, causing Sultana to fall and injure her hand. Efforts by housemate Kaybobo to intervene by taking the basket briefly did not ease tensions. Frustrated, Sultana said she could no longer work alongside Faith in the same group.
