OP-ED: Has Influencer Culture Commercialized the Nigerian Church? The Rise of Gospel Singers as Monetized Brands

For decades, gospel music in Nigeria was inseparable from the pulpit—a ministry of worship rooted in selfless service. Choirs sang without expectation of pay, traveling ministers often accepted little more than hospitality, and the focus was squarely on God’s glory. But the landscape is changing, and changing fast.

Today, a new gospel music economy is emerging, one that fuses ministry with branding, faith with influencer culture, and worship with calculated financial strategy. What was once a calling is increasingly being packaged, marketed, and sold in the same way as mainstream entertainment. The big question? Is this a blessing of prosperity, or a worrying drift away from the church’s sacred purpose?

The shift is hard to miss. In the era of Instagram reels, YouTube livestreams, and Spotify playlists, gospel music is no longer confined to Sunday services or revival nights. A worship set in Lagos can be streamed live to believers in London, Houston, and Johannesburg within seconds. For many, this global reach is an opportunity to spread the gospel like never before.

But with this visibility comes a new business model. Appearance fees for gospel artists, once unheard of, are now standard practice. Emerging singers sometimes demand hundreds of thousands of naira for a single church event, with additional requests for business-class flights, premium hotels, and stipends for their team. Established names command even more, often negotiating with the same rigor as pop stars.

Perhaps nothing has exposed the tension between ministry and money more than the recent high-profile legal dispute between a certain gospel star in Nigeria and her former record label. What began as a contractual disagreement ballooned into a national conversation when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) got involved.

South Africa Faces Harshest U.S. Tariffs in Sub-Saharan Africa After Trump’s Policy Shift

South Africa is bracing for a seismic jolt to its trade relations with the United States after President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order imposing steep new import duties on dozens of African nations. The directive, issued on July 31 and taking effect in a week, slaps a 30% tariff on all South African exports to America — the highest rate for any Sub-Saharan African country.

The announcement caught Pretoria in the middle of ongoing negotiations aimed at softening a previously proposed 31% rate. In recent months, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration had pitched Washington on large-scale purchases of U.S. liquefied natural gas and more than $3 billion in targeted investments in American industries, from mining to manufacturing. A high-profile White House visit in May, however, became sidetracked by Trump’s fixation on “white genocide” narratives, a baseless claim used to justify accepting white Afrikaner refugees from South Africa.
