Nigerians were deeply moved after a video of veteran gospel singer Sister Nnenna Goodness surfaced online, where she tearfully shared her struggles.
In the emotional clip, Sister Nnenna revealed that she has been enduring financial hardship and has lost all rights to the songs that once brought her fame. She pleaded with Nigerians to support her, sharing her account details for assistance.
Meanwhile, some social media users confirmed that her songs are still available on YouTube but are seemingly controlled by another individual.
Her plea gained even more attention as it coincided with a controversial statement by Pastor Femi Lazarus, who discouraged gospel artists from monetizing their talents. This stance sparked criticism, especially after it was discovered that his ministry school charges $150 in fees.

@mclassic_hairline.ng:”Please monetize your knowledge, skill and talent . Thank you. It’s only Salvation that is free.”
@pinessca_steve:”Ya’ll should get a job . Pastors should WORK , members WORK, gospel artists please WORK!!!!. Run a business, do EVERYTHING you can to make it . God says he will BLESS the WORKS of your hands . I still find it strange that there are FULL TIME PASTORS and GOSPEL SINGERS, living on which money please ? Tithes and offerings ? Get to WORK EVERYBODY, no one is coming to save you . Even if she had charged the world years ago, without proper investments there will be no ROI… 😏😏😏.”
