– Poju Oyemade Nullifies Mercy Chinwo N10m Fee Rumour
Senior Pastor of The Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade has dismissed Rev. Chinenye Oluoma’s claim that Mercy Chinwo charges close to N10million to minister.
The Rev who spoke in a now trending video on social media, berated gospel musicians who demand huge payments to perform in a place of worship.
Citing Mercy Chinwo as an example, the cleric, in a viral video, reiterated that the singer charges N10m as performance fee in churches.
“We have made religious worship expensive. If I have to bring Mercy Chinwo to come here and sing, how much will I pay her? How much does a gospel artiste of Mercy Chinwo’s status charge to come to an event or in a Church, it has reached N10m now.

“This is the tragedy that we have turned Christianity into, that an artiste will come to a church and lead in ten minutes praise and worship for N10m, N5m. So if that particular artiste doesn’t sing Jesus you love me too much, that means God didn’t love you too much?”
“And some people were asking should they be paid?Why didn’t you pay them? If you must bring them you must pay them because what you are bringing them for is entertainment. We have turned worship into entertainment.”
However, Pastor Poju Oyemade took to his Twitter page on Thursday to dismiss the claims made by Fr. Oluoma in the online video, criticizing gospel musicians who ask for exorbitant payments to perform in places of worship.
Oyemade said, “Mercy Chinwo sang at our service at Lekki last Sunday and the honorarium we gave was at our discretion. She made NO formal charges.”
We should be thinking futuristically about the collective good, and not selfishly about our own survival. That’s the only way the kingdom will thrive.
