I came across a post on nairaland yesterday about a guy (asu ekiye) talking about the arrogance of most Nigerian gospel artistes.
All what he said were on point not until he said that

"Ninety nine percent of Gospel artistes in Nigeria are poor people. Quote me anywhere. Name one rich gospel artiste and I will tell you his/her level.

I was shocked.i don't know if he said this out of hatred or perhaps he's jealous because you can't be so sure to say that 99% of Nigerian gospel artistes are poor.

Because they few I know ain't poor.
I mean are the likes of sinach,Frank Edwards, Nathaniel bassey and mercy chinwo poor or what did he really meant by rich...in possession or what?

Gospel artistes don't need to display their wealth on social media as their secular counterpart do...and besides I am so sure that 99% of secular artistes are living a packaging lifestyle.

obviously he's exaggerating.

It's very possible the guy is saying the truth because one thing have come to realise is that majority of celebrities in Nigeria are not as rich as they claim to be. Only few of them are rich the rest nah just packaging.

If we are to look at it critically ( emotions and religious sentiment aside) one can barely count the gospel artistes that are financially ok.

Asides the guys in loveworld (Christ embassy bred) mercy chinwo, yinka ayefele, tope alabi and few other I think the guy is right.

Tho it's a general problem in the entertainment industry but it's worse in some sections. For example in the Yoruba film industry I doubt if any actor is earning up to 700k per movie
