Those in the gospel music industry are the ones that are most surprising with their segregation amongst each other. These same people who preach against racism actually are divided amongst eachother.
When people talk about racism, I tell them everyone is a racist as people like to associate with like terms. That is why Yorubas have a different view about Ibos, most Ibos hate Hausas, most Hausas that are muslims don't like christians, Nigerians feel they are more intelligent that those in other African countries, Black Africans and African Americans try to avoid the Whites and sense them as trouble and the list is endless causing a rift in relationships with different ethnic groups and cultures all over the world.
One would think Christians will be different but no, some feel they are more born again than others, some feel their mode of worship is holier, and some think only their church is the true living church.
Recently I saw online how Nigerian artiste Wizkid was celebrated for an international award, and the irony is that the award wasn't meant for him but for Drake but his fans celebrated him like it belonged to him just because he was featured on the song that won the awards.
Also it highly trended on social media when R Kelly did his own version of Davido's hit song If. Nigerians and Africans went awol in jubilation like it was a massive achievement.
When popular gospel singer and producer, Frank Edward did about two collaborations with international acclaimed music minister, Don Moen featuring him on his latest track "Ka anyi bulie", it only trended on social media like a quick breeze.
Christian national anthem music "I know who I am" by Sinach was sang by American popular music minister, Donnie McClurkin, I guess only few of her Christ Embassy church members were aware of such.
So what are christians preaching if they can't celebrate each other more than those in the secular world whose idea of love is basically sexual.
The coldness amongst Christian artists is even more glaring as they don't support each other on social media except they are in the same social circle.
Gospel music and achievements should trend, their international collaborations and updates should be exposed to the world.
That is one of the ways God's light can keep shining.
Clicking like on a social media page is just a movement of a finger and doesn't hurt, sharing their news as broadcasts is also a means of showing love.
Let Nigerian and African Christian preach genuine love in all they do.
Nevertheless, Times like this, we need a different music to motivate us so I present to you
