Pastor Lazarus, leader of Light Nation Church has disclosed the fee of a popular gospel singer demanded to perform at his church.
The pastor had earlier suggested that ministry should not be commercialised highlighting a time a singer charged 5 million to come and sing for his congregation.
He argued that genuine ministers should rely on divine provision rather than turning worship into a business. His statement sparked debate and reactions within the gospel and gospel music community. Timi Dakolo, a celebrated Nigerian artist, didn’t hold back in his response, also, prominent Nigerian comedian, Alibaba weighed in on the matter.
However, during Sunday service, pastor Lazarus while speaking on the issue again, gave a breakdown of the expensive booking fee a very popular gospel musician.
Speaking about the invoice the gospel artist sent to the church, he said: “I want the media to project an invoice, i dont want to call the name of the music minister in Nigeria.
“This is the invoice. Let me read what is there. An honorarium of $10,000 with other payments such as accommodation, meals, and number of persons coming. They will still have to return on the same day. All this non- refundable.”
