Popular comedian and actor-turned-preacher Oluwatoyin Bayegun, better known as Woli Arole, has raised concerns over the current trends in the Nigerian Gospel music industry.
He lamented that “hypocrisy, worldliness, and cabalism” have taken over the gospel music scene.
He noted that invitations for ministration are now based on connections rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The fiery preacher said it has become difficult to distinguish between a gospel music minister and a secular artiste.
In a recent Instagram post, he wrote: “The level of hypocrisy, worldliness, and cabalism in the gospel music industry in Nigeria is alarming. Oh yes! Invitations are based on who you know, not as the Spirit leads. Music ministers too—we can’t differentiate whether you’re a performer or a minister. It’s well!”
