A Catholic priest has sparked laughter, debate, and plenty of “God when?” reactions online after questioning gospel singer Chinyere Udoma over the lyrics of her latest song.
According to the priest, the burning question was simple but sharp:
“Why will you sing that kind of thing? Can kids sing it?”
The song in question didn’t exactly whisper its message. In bold, straight-to-the-point lyrics, Udoma sang about the daily struggle between flesh and faith, openly mentioning temptations like fornication, masturbation, and stealing — before firmly choosing heaven over vibes.
While some listeners praised the song for being realistic and relatable (“because temptation no dey use parable”), others sided with the priest, arguing that gospel music should be safe enough for children’s choir rehearsal without explanation breaks.
As expected, the internet did what it does best:
One group said, “She just said what everyone is fighting silently.”
Another replied, “Gospel song no be confession booth.”
With opinions flying left, right, and center, one thing is clear:
The song may be about resisting the flesh, but it has definitely stirred the internet spirit.
Whether you call it honesty or oversharing, Chinyere Udoma’s lyrics have proven one thing — sometimes, even gospel songs can trend for reasons nobody prayed for.
