Popular gospel singer, Yinka Araseyori, came under fire after a video went viral of him incorporating the popular song, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo,” into a church service in Lagos.
Yinka Araseyori’s performance during a church service last Friday was caught on camera and has since sparked a lot of controversy and criticism online.
Many people took to social media to express their disgust at Yinka Araseyori’s use of the song, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo,” in his church performance.
Among those who criticized the performance was renowned author Solomon Buchi, who also condemned the practice as a serious deviation from traditional gospel services.

@Dostronicss added: Instead of conforming to the standards of this world, let’s change ourselves by renewing our thinking. Then you will be able to search and discern what is the will of God – what is His good, pleasing and perfect will. ” This verse encourages believers to avoid worldly practices that can jeopardize holiness and respect for God. “If you pay them to play for you, they must entertain you, otherwise you will never call them again.”
“The focus of such artists is not to glorify God, but to make the audience dance to the tunes.
Friendship with the world is enmity with God…”

@RedHatPentester said: My problem is that Christians today are too mixed up with the world. There’s even gospel rap! It’s funny. They don’t move me one bit.
