Wow.
Some of these gospels artists the way the dress and sing their music, just shows they are far from the kingdom. Unfortunately, many Christians do not discern this.

Mercy Chinwo and Bassey just broke in.
People don't know Tope Alabi beyond South West

I think Sinach should come before Franklin Edwards
Sinach songs are very popular in South Africa and she always performs in their crusades

But Franklin Edwards has hit songs more than any contemporary Nigerian Gospel musician ever!
