Timi Dakolo handles the Apostle Lazarus for claims about the excessive demands of the artist

Nigerian Gospel singer, Timi Dakolo has blamed claims by the main priest of the Light Nation Church, Apostle Femi Lazarus, about excessive financial demands made by several Gospel artists to perform on church events.

Timi Dakolo responded to social media videos that are said to show the Apostle Lazarus who projects $ 10,000 honorarium invoices from a Gospel artist during the sermon.

Among other requirements, invoices registered a compulsory deposit of 50% that cannot be returned, class one ticket, and lodging.

The scholar then argued that this financial demand was too high for the ministry.

In a post on his Instagram page, Timi Dakolo challenged the Apostle Lazarus to mention the artist.

He wrote: “Nigeria, you should not trust everything you see. No one has 40 crew in Nigeria. Mention the artist to justify restrictions.”

He also showed several posts that included screenshots of the two emails he received when he applied to the school of the Apostle Lazarus $ 150 per student.

“All of this is said in love and respect, sir. I am not a gospel artist but a Christian who was raised in the church. Do not shift the goalpost. With your definition, if anyone accused to serve, they are not gospel artists; they are players. And with that definition, if there is a preacher to teach and serve, they are traders and motivation as well.

” Sir, you charge the cost as low as $ 150 per person for your service school, teaching and preaching Jesus, may have as many as 1,000 students. Let’s do math. Do you even have premiums and standards for God’s home? Are you not selling gifts and revelations given freely to you? Once again, don’t keep shifting the goalpost, “added the singer.
