You hardly find a song going by the characteristics of your selected few , i've only found one , man in the mirror and i was shocked when i found out it was sang by michel jackson .
And that's exactly why we should stick to good gospel songs. I am just making a point clear. Some think all songs that do not directly mention God are sinful. Take a look at some old school songs.

Salvation cannot be bought with #1000. It will make more sense if I were going to a concert!

How can charging #1000 be a way of controlling population? When a lot of Nigerians pay up to 20k to watch jokes. #Funny

Pastor Chris, the message we see in this is a bad one. God help us.
Christianity EtcOpinion: Christians Can Listen To SOME SELECTED Secular Music. by HercJay(op): 6:27pm On Jan 04, 2015
Question: "Should a Christian listen to
secular music?"
Answer: Many Christians struggle with
this question. Many secular musicians
are immensely talented. Secular music
can be very entertaining. There are
many secular songs that have catchy
melodies, thoughtful insights, and
positive messages. In determining
whether or not to listen to secular
music, there are three primary factors
to consider: 1) the purpose of music, 2)
the style of music, and 3) the content of
the lyrics.
1) The purpose of music. Is music
designed solely for worship, or did God
also intend music to be soothing and/or
entertaining? The most famous
musician in the Bible, King David,
primarily used music for the purpose of
worshipping God (see Psalm 4:1 ; 6:1 ,
54 , 55 ; 61:1 ; 67:1 ; 76:1 ). However,
when King Saul was tormented by evil
spirits, he would call on David to play
the harp in order to soothe him (1
Samuel 16:14-23 ). The Israelites also
used musical instruments to warn of
danger (Nehemiah 4:20 ) and to surprise
their enemies ( Judges 7:16-22 ). In the
New Testament, the apostle Paul
instructs Christians to encourage one
another with music: “Speak to one
another with psalms, hymns and
spiritual songs” (Ephesians 5:19 ). So,
while the primary purpose of music
does seem to be worship, the Bible
definitely allows for other uses of music.
2) The style of music. Sadly, the issue of
music styles can be very divisive among
Christians. There are Christians who
adamantly demand that no musical
instruments be used. There are
Christians who only desire to sing the
“old faithful” hymns. There are
Christians who want more upbeat and
contemporary music. There are
Christians who claim to worship best in
a “rock concert” type of environment.
Instead of recognizing these differences
as personal preferences and cultural
distinctions, some Christians declare
their preferred style of music to be the
only “biblical” one and declare all other
forms of music to be unwholesome,
ungodly, or even satanic.
The Bible nowhere condemns any
particular style of music. The Bible
nowhere declares any particular musical
instrument to be ungodly. The Bible
mentions numerous kinds of string
instruments and wind instruments.
While the Bible does not specifically
mention drums, it does mention other
percussion instruments (Psalm 68:25 ;
Ezra 3:10 ). Nearly all of the forms of
modern music are variations and/or
combinations of the same types of
musical instruments, played at different
speeds or with heightened emphasis.
There is no biblical basis to declare any
particular style of music to be ungodly
or outside of God’s will.
3) The content of the lyrics. Since
neither the purpose of music nor the
style of music determines whether a
Christian should listen to secular music,
the content of the lyrics must be
considered. While not specifically
speaking of music, Philippians 4:8 is an
excellent guide for musical lyrics:
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy—think about
such things.” If we should be thinking
about such things, surely those are the
things we should invite into our minds
through music and lyrics. Can the lyrics
in a secular song be true, noble, right,
pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and
praiseworthy? If so, then there is
nothing wrong with a Christian listening
to a secular song of that nature.
However, much of secular music does
not meet the standard of Philippians
4:8 . Secular music often promotes
immorality and violence while belittling
purity and integrity. If a song glorifies
what opposes God, a Christian should
not listen to it. However, there are many
secular songs with no mention of God
that still uphold godly values such as
honesty, purity, and integrity. If a love
song promotes the sanctity of marriage
and/or the purity of true love—even if it
does not mention God or the Bible—it
can still be listened to and enjoyed.
Whatever a person allows to occupy his
mind will sooner or later determine his
speech and his actions. This is the
premise behind Philippians 4:8 and
Colossians 3:2 , 5 : establishing
wholesome thought patterns. Second
Corinthians 10:5 says we should “take
captive every thought and make it
obedient to Christ.” These Scriptures
give a clear picture of the kind of music
we should not listen to.
Obviously, the best kind of music is that
which praises and glorifies God.
Talented Christian musicians work in
nearly every musical genre, ranging
from classical to rock, rap, and reggae.
There is nothing inherently wrong with
any particular style of music. It is the
lyrics that determine whether a song is
“acceptable” for a Christian to listen to.
If anything leads you to think about or
get involved in something that does not
glorify God, it should be avoided.

Jokes EtcThe Adventure Of The Igbo, The Hausa And The....... by HercJay(op): 9:27am On Dec 19, 2014
An Igbo man, a Yoruba man and an
Hausa man
were lost in a forest and then captured
by cannibals.
The king of the cannibals told the
prisoners that
they could live if they pass a trial. The
first step was to go deep into the forest
and get ten pieces of the
same kind of fruits.
The three men went their separate ways
to gather
fruits. The Yoruba man came back and
said to the
king, “I brought 10 apples.”
Then the king explained the trial to him,
“You have
to swallow the fruits without any
expression on your
face or you will be killed. The first apple
went in,
but on the second one, he winced out in
pain, so he
was killed.
The Igbo man arrived and showed the
king ten
berries. When the king explained the trial
to him,
he thought to himself that this should be
easy….
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and on the ninth berry, he
burst
out in laughter and was killed.
The Yoruba man and Igbo man met in
heaven and
the Yoruba man asked, “Why did you
laugh? You
almost got away with the trial.” The Igbo
man
replied,
“I couldn’t help it, when I saw the Hausa
man
coming with Watermelons!”

Politics“jonathan Is Selfish, Weak-willed And Callous” — Obasanjo Lamblast GEJ In Book by HercJay(op): 7:45am On Dec 11, 2014
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has
reportedly gone ahead with plans to release
his autobiography despite a court order
restraining him from doing so.
Obasanjo, in the book titled “My Watch”
criticizes President Goodluck Jonathan
describing him as selfish, weak-willed, callous
and incapable of rising to the challenges of
running a complex country like Nigeria.
A chieftain of the Ogun State branch of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Buruji Kashamu had
prayed a court to prevent Obasanjo from
publishing the book until the determination of
a libel suit which had been brought against
him.
However, Sahara Reportersclaims to have
gotten a copy of the book and read sections
of it. The online platform can also confirm
that the book has gone into circulation.
Obasanjo has in recent times made public
criticisms of Jonathan describing his
performance as below average and accusing
him of destroying Nigeria’s democracy.
