Solomon Buchi criticises gospel ministers for joining ‘gwo gwo’ challenge

Solomon Buchi, a social commentator, and influencer has criticized gospel ministers for blending secular music trends into their worship services, citing a viral video of them participating in the “gwo gwo challenge” as an example.

He argues that this approach is not genuine gospel music or ministry, but rather emotional manipulation to engage listeners.

Buchi also disapproves of incorporating secular trends like “12345678” into praise and worship, emphasizing that God deserves utmost reverence.

He urges people to hold gospel musicians accountable for compromising the sanctity of Christianity, suggesting they are essentially entertainers exploiting the faith for popularity.

“It’s sad to see ‘gospel ministers’ incorporate trendy and secular musical phrases into their ministrations. This isn’t gospel music, neither is it a ministration. It’s just emotionalism, employing every possible means to gyrate listeners. I’m sick of it!

Some ministers also incorporated the 12345678 trend into praise and worship, and it should be frowned upon. We are offering praise to God, who deserves the maximum reverence. Stop soiling the sacrosanctity of our faith.

It’s high time we called some gospel musicians what they are— they are just entertainers riding on the wave of the Christian faith. They’re not ministers, and that’s fine”.
