Veteran gospel singer Sister Nnenna Goodness, best known for her song “He Has Promised He Will Never Fail,” has taken to social media to seek financial help, revealing that she has been suffering in silence.
In a viral video, Nnenna disclosed that she no longer has rights to the songs that once made her popular and urged Nigerians to help her reclaim them. She also shared her account details for donations.
Social Media Reactions
Following her emotional plea, many Nigerians have expressed shock and concern over her situation. Several social media users criticized Pastor Femi Lazarus, who has previously discouraged gospel ministers from monetizing their talents.
The controversy escalated when it was revealed that Pastor Femi charges N297,000 ($150) for his mentorship academy, leading to accusations of double standards.
Public Reactions to Nnenna Goodness’ Plight
Some notable comments include:
- @mclassic_hairline.ng: “Please monetize your knowledge, skill, and talent. Salvation is free, but other things are not.”
- @pinessca_steve: “Gospel artists should also work and invest in businesses. Even if she had earned millions years ago, without proper investments, there won’t be returns.”
- @sososoberekon: “Most popular musicians left the church because they were not being paid.”
- @ja.lottt: “May the Holy Spirit reward her abundantly. Her time has come.”
- @rolexmilly: “Pastors live luxurious lives while gospel singers are expected to struggle. This is unfair!”
A Call for Change?
Many have called for a rethink of how gospel artists are treated, urging them to monetize their talents rather than rely solely on goodwill. As the conversation continues, Nigerians are rallying behind Sister Nnenna Goodness, hoping she gets the help she needs.
