Daniel Regha, a well-known social media analyst, argued that Mercy Chinwo’s N10 million fee for church performances was ridiculous.
He said that gospel performers shouldn’t be paid to give concerts in churches.
Regha asserted that the church only has a duty to extend hospitality and, if necessary, pay for their travel expenses in a post on his Twitter account on the 8th June, 2023.
“Mercy Chinwo charging N10m to perform in Church is ridiculous, gospel artistes shouldn’t charge a dime; The church is obligated to provide hospitality & cover the transportation costs of invitees if necessary but paying anyone to perform is wrong. A true Christian will not charge.” he wrote.
It could be recalled that a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Chinenye Oluoma, bemoaned how expensive religious devotion has become by asserting that Mercy Chinwo demands N10 million to perform in churches.
