Solomon Buchi has criticized Nigerians who condemn the substantial crowds at religious concerts while applauding secular artists who fill large stadiums.
Some online users expressed disapproval of the substantial crowd that attended a Christian concert in Lagos state last Friday.
In response to the criticism, Buchi wrote:
“Burnaboy, Davido, or Wizkid sells out 20,000 capacity concerts. ‘Wow! My goat, I love to see black excellence.’
The Experience, a FREE annual gospel music concert with over 65,000 attendees. ‘Nigerians and religion. Imagine if these people went to protest; Nigeria will be fine.’ Why don’t you say this about your fave when thousands attend their concerts?
With all due disrespect, you’re out of your mind. Your activism is only activated when church folks gather. The same way you guys bully churches that build cathedrals, instead of focusing on your governors. When I think about this double standard against Christians, I detect a possibility of demonic infection. Is it ordinary?
For many Nigerian Christians, they don’t attend concerts all year because there’s a lot to hustle for. Then, at the end of each year, they gather for FREE, FREE oh, to worship God and express gratitude for the year. But you won’t stop taunting them.
Look at it morally. Which is better? Paying for a concert where you’re led to sing ‘I need Igbo and shayo’ or attending a free gospel concert where you express gratitude.
From a purely artistic and musical perspective, the Experience is the most expensive gospel concert in Africa. Most of your faves cannot match up with the musical excellence that the Experience portrays.”
