Gospel songs are meant to be equivalent to church sermons and other means of evangelism. This particular style of music has also paved the way for some artistes to mount the pulpits to win souls for Christ. The genre of music is also not meant to sing the praises of streetwise human beings and die-hard wanted ‘drug barons’. Back in the days most especially in the early ’90s, gospel music in Nigeria put itself in its right pedestal with the likes of Ojo Ade, Bola Are, Sola Rotimi, Dunni Olanrewaju, Funmi Aragbaye, Pastor Adelakun of Ayewa fame, Panam Percy Paul, Late Sonny Okosuns, etc. This set of people conveniently fall in the category of real gospel artistes who put God first in all their songs. They never compromised the importance of the Almighty God in their chosen career. However, these days, gospel artistes have deviated from their primary calling and do not be surprised hearing them singing secular music, songs and raps.
